all of there shit tier songs sound the same.

I go to school with rex browns kids

>Not overly complicated or fast like Slayer

I don't think metal is for you

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.

>Pantera
>Groove metal
>GOAT
No

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

>too pussy to name someone better out of fear of ridicule
Lemme guess, Lamb of God?

I don't think that at all. Everyone here thinks that.

Malmsteen best guitarists

Tool is much better.

honestly, dimebag was superhuman in terms of guitar skill

the lyrics were usually lame and boring but whatever.

Yes. Of all time.

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.

I like Pantera more but Tool is up there

so why bother create a post about the "best metal band"?

>>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

My favourite metal band is Bathory followed by Death and Judas Priest.

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

Nope. Led Zeppelin holds that title, followed by Ozzy

>>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

>passion
>music

faggot

>pantera
>metal

pick one

Who was that dude again?
Coinpurse Curtis?

>I don't think playing scales super fast and doing 9 downstrokes a second on the low-e is impressive

Metal isn't for you, friend.

no

this

Ohh so you're new to guitar. Understandable.

might as well be. RIP Dime

shut the fuck up

>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

No, it's Moneybags Mike

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.

I think they were the best of the 90s
But the greatest metal band is arguably Black Sabbath

Pantera were good but wtf

Finally someone posted it

Didn't Eddy van Halen say that he was the greatest guitarist of all time next to Jimi Hendrix

> "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

Lamb of God is one of the best modern metal bands out there today. Good taste.

Tool isn't metal wtf

This.

Wait until you get to grad school and you've got 20 page papers to write in a weekend.

cmon

Neckbeard detected

Definitely this.
Fuck those dudes.

I dunno OP are you sure you want to do this metal thing?

>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.

quads of truth

Don't have the time

Lol Lamb of God with zero solos.

>
pantera vs metalica. who wins. megadeth.

I just love genre justice warriors.

Agreed

Did the groove tough guy metal better.

Van Halen was objectively the best metal band of the 80s though. They influenced everyone.

Even though OP's opinions are probably b8
>pantera sperg(s)
>Elitist
Thats far too sophisticated a word to describe them

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.

Troll confirmed

lmao what

I just love categorizing things based on their correct definition.

Nah that's Guns N Roses

Dimebag is one of my favorite guitarist. The guitar is killer, but the band as a whole is eh

Quads confirmed. OP can't metulz

(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)

Groove is pretty bland imo
Seputura's best albums are Schizophrenia and Beneath the Remains.

No Limp Biscuit is the greatest. Most other metal bands since have copied them in one form or another.

dude get out van halen was fucking gay

This one is for you Dingdong Donny:

So that means this post is bait too, meaning that the OP post was bait as well.

Good, I was hoping you were serious.

whoops meant for another cookie as an apology for missing your post

fuck I'm off tonight.
Now to write that essay before the dropbox closes!

it's subjective.

The Great Southern Trendkill sucked IMO though.

Doesn't mean that they didn't have the most overall influence on the genre. Eddie's guitar playing was revolutionary.

Sep kicked fucking ass!

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.

No.

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"

Metal as fuck fam

Exactly. Plus you have to be famous already to sell out.
