To all who diss Pantera...

*ahem*

(inhales deeply)

FUCK YOU!!!!

Pantera are/were THE standard by which I judge ALL metal bands. And for the "redneck metal" comments, if those making them knew jack about this band, you'd know there were not one but two songs, one right after the other, actually CONDEMNING racism ("Rise" and "No Good (Attack the Radical)"). I'm actually shocked so many of you would be dissing this band on a noise rock band's forum, considering the amout of dissonant/noisy parts a lot of their songs have...Dime was one of the few (the only other I can think of being Piggy from Voivod) thrash guitarists who understood the importance of texture in music.

Sure, some of their fans could be assholes, but you'll get that with pretty much any crowd.

I like their version of Poison Idea's "The Badge".

^^Yeah whatever, redneck.

I didn't say they were racist (were those songs before or after Anselmo's white pride speeches?), I said Pantera were redneck-metal.

Pantera, yet another band where people judge them based on their idiotic fanbase, and not their actual occasionally-brilliant music.

^i judge them on a terrible live performance i witnessed and on listening to a couple of their albums that did nothing to me.

Well, that's good. I mean, I'm not a huge fan of them, I just think they're one of those bands, like Tool, who get overlooked because most of their fans are incredibly retarded.

I hear you. I sometimes do that myself as well.

I'll be the first to admit that I've never bothered to listen to The Grateful Dead, solely based-on my preconceived notion (fanbase, image, etc...) of what they're like.

You aren't missing anything. An okay riff here or there. Just keep listening to the Ex instead.

Very very very occasionally brilliant music.
