Which ones? Their first couple albums were terrible yeah
I don't think playing scales super fast and doing 9 downstrokes a second on the low-e is impressive. They actually put passion into their music unlike Slayer.
Ethan Morgan
>Pantera >Groove metal >GOAT No
Brody Green
no it's not you just say that because you're that type of person "what you listen is pure shit and mine is the greatest" grow up massive faggot
Leo Robinson
>too pussy to name someone better out of fear of ridicule Lemme guess, Lamb of God?
Luke Jenkins
I don't think that at all. Everyone here thinks that.
Kevin Rivera
Malmsteen best guitarists
Jace Sanders
Tool is much better.
Josiah Ward
honestly, dimebag was superhuman in terms of guitar skill
the lyrics were usually lame and boring but whatever.
Tyler Jenkins
Yes. Of all time.
Brody Williams
Hated niggers? I don't know about that. Dimebag had some confederate flag guitars and Phil would occasionally talk some "white power" bullshit, he would always just say it's about "taking pride in your heritage" and that shit, but he never explicitly said he believed white people were better than blacks or that he hated niggers.
James Lee
I like Pantera more but Tool is up there
Jeremiah Taylor
so why bother create a post about the "best metal band"?
Elijah Torres
>>Best metal guitarist of the 80s and 90s
false
>>One of the best vocalists of metal
false
>>Solos are god-tier compared to Metallica
This is true of any decent metal band
>>Not overly complicated or fast like Slayer
Slayer isn't complicated.
>>Supported the confederate flag and hated niggers
Except when they get bad press about it, then they back off
>>never sold out like Metallica
No, but they certainly tried to back when they played hair metal
>>Pink goatee
you got me there OP
Carson Lopez
My favourite metal band is Bathory followed by Death and Judas Priest.
Thomas Cooper
I'd like to think they hated niggers. I know for sure Phil did, dimebag was too chill to care probably
stalling on writing a 1500 word essay on develepmental psychology

For you
Jeremiah Hughes
Nope. Led Zeppelin holds that title, followed by Ozzy
Elijah Sullivan
>>Best metal guitarist of the 80s and 90s
>false
Under what pretense are we judging best here? I play guitar and think that playing with passion and soul takes more skill than running up and down harmonic minor scales
Isaiah Torres
>passion >music
faggot
Sebastian Morris
>pantera >metal
pick one
Dominic Davis
Who was that dude again? Coinpurse Curtis?
Ayden Cox

Metal isn't for you, friend.
David Morales
no
this
Leo Hernandez
Ohh so you're new to guitar. Understandable.
Wyatt Jenkins
might as well be. RIP Dime
Aiden Morgan
shut the fuck up
Xavier Campbell
>I play guitar and think that playing with passion and soul takes more skill than running up and down harmonic minor scales
yes, but if you think 80s and 90s metal guitarists were just about running up and down harmonic minor scales, you need to listen to better metal
Angel Perez
No, it's Moneybags Mike
Nolan Carter
Also, I forgot to mention that there's some Pantera lyrics that seem to have an anti-racism message, but I've heard that there's some that seem to have a racist message too, so I don't know.
Phil has also actively denied that him or Pantera as a band is racist. There's an interview from the 90's where he denies being a white supremacist, and after the whole nazi-salute and yelling "white power" incident he's been claiming he's not a racist and what he did was a joke.
I can post links to all this if needed.
I honestly think Phil is probably racist to some degree, but I don't think he is a white supremacist or anything like that.

>1500 words >5 pages
What the fuck is wrong with you? That's like two or three hours tops, especially on a subject as easy as psych.
Luis Rivera
I think they were the best of the 90s But the greatest metal band is arguably Black Sabbath
Cooper Brooks
Pantera were good but wtf
Samuel Cooper
Finally someone posted it
Aiden Bell
Didn't Eddy van Halen say that he was the greatest guitarist of all time next to Jimi Hendrix
Leo Barnes
> "Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas."
conformist
Dimebag Darrell
Meh
I don't think it's impressive because I can do it in my sleep
hah if you only knew
I don't think that. I think slayer started that and now bands sound like robots
my professor is a commie bastard, I have to take the time to match his opinion on abortion and shit
debatable
I wish I was that guy. Unfortunately I'm a skinny white kid with curly hair
Oliver Wood
Lamb of God is one of the best modern metal bands out there today. Good taste.
Nicholas Davis
Tool isn't metal wtf
Asher Peterson
This.
Wait until you get to grad school and you've got 20 page papers to write in a weekend.

Adrian Anderson
Definitely this. Fuck those dudes.
Aiden Brooks
I dunno OP are you sure you want to do this metal thing?
Parker Cook
>I don't think it's impressive because I can do it in my sleep Post a video of it then. Otherwise, you just sound like an elitist ass.

Lol Lamb of God with zero solos.
Noah Perry
> pantera vs metalica. who wins. megadeth.
Hudson Ward
I just love genre justice warriors.
Michael Diaz
Agreed
Carter Fisher
Did the groove tough guy metal better.
Van Halen was objectively the best metal band of the 80s though. They influenced everyone.
Jose Long
Even though OP's opinions are probably b8 >pantera sperg(s) >Elitist Thats far too sophisticated a word to describe them
Jace Bell
Slayer is the one fucking band that has never sold out. I've never once heard a slayer song on the radio. So many classic albums. Even their last album Repentless is amazing. You don't know what metal is, OP.
Ryan Baker
Troll confirmed
Gavin Hernandez
lmao what
Connor Lewis
I just love categorizing things based on their correct definition.
Aaron Evans
Nah that's Guns N Roses
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Dimebag is one of my favorite guitarist. The guitar is killer, but the band as a whole is eh
Ian Long
Quads confirmed. OP can't metulz
Jeremiah Lopez
(everything I've said in this thread except the first post has been b8 don't tell anyone. You figured it out though so here's a cookie)
Connor Foster
Groove is pretty bland imo Seputura's best albums are Schizophrenia and Beneath the Remains.
Evan Rodriguez
No Limp Biscuit is the greatest. Most other metal bands since have copied them in one form or another.
So that means this post is bait too, meaning that the OP post was bait as well.
Good, I was hoping you were serious.
Evan Foster
whoops meant for another cookie as an apology for missing your post
Kevin Jenkins
fuck I'm off tonight. Now to write that essay before the dropbox closes!
Robert Morris
it's subjective.
The Great Southern Trendkill sucked IMO though.
Colton Gray
Doesn't mean that they didn't have the most overall influence on the genre. Eddie's guitar playing was revolutionary.
Carson Martinez
Sep kicked fucking ass!
John Reyes
phil hates nogs. but he could never just publicly come out and say it. pantera is pretty big in the metal community regardless of your personal feelings. and im a total metalfag. i have slayer tattooed across my forearm, vic rattlehead(megadeth) on the other side, and a metallica tattoo also(which i regret only because its very poorly done), and as a tard who has slayer tat on his forearm, i would def say that pantera is probably my fav metal band, even tho im sure someone could tell me why im wrong very quickly but idgaf fags. CFH tattoo is next up.
>P.S. Best fucking guitar player overall in metal. listen to any cover of pantera, the guitar is always totally lacking, even if they hit every god damn note, its just different, and not as nasty as Dimebag.
Gabriel Price
No.
William Lewis
repentless is not that fucking good imo. i mean its cool and shit but it sounds like alot of other slayer shit. i agree on never sold out tho. but if its meant to imply that pantera 'sold out', i just dont see it. pantera just figured out that glam rock was fucking super faggotry and they couldnt b taken seriously with a falsettofag vocalist, with the name "Terry Glaze"
Hunter Martin
Metal as fuck fam
Carter Anderson
Exactly. Plus you have to be famous already to sell out.
