V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I've never really been a Pantera fan (that could be definitely is changing, though). They were just a wee bit over the edge for me. However, that being said, Darrell "Dime Bag" Abbott was an unbelievably awesome guitarist. Unfortunately, I had a difficult time listening to Phil Anselmo's acid-washed screaming vocals. This sort of put me off to Pantera all these years. My recent rabid love for all things Black Label Society has inevitably led me to reconsider Pantera; primarily to experience Dime Bag Darrell and the rest of the instrumentalists in that band. BLS's lead guitarist Zakk Wylde was best friends with Darrell and talks about him in some documentaries I've recently watched. One in particular that I watched last night was about Pantera's start and the tragic shooting of Darrell Abbott onstage during a concert with his new (at the time) band, DamagePlan. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/ylZG9faY4Vo Pardon the closed captions in that video. It's the best quality version on YouTube Pantera @ Wikipedia LONG LIVE DARRELL LANCE "DIME BAG" ABBOTT! http://youtu.be/RVMvART9kb8 You can access my complete Pantera playlist at GrooveShark HERE. Note: This is seriously heavy metal, folks. If you're not into head-banging, screaming vocals, flying hair, and screeching guitar leads, don't even bother to view the vid above. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 And here I thought you would have pictures of Precious listening to the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 She's actually dosing off right here on the desk with Anselmo screaming and Dime Bag shredding at about 110 decibels. How can anyone nap through Pantera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrke Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 If she's where she wants to be, for whatever inscrutable feline reason, she'll stay there through anything. You might get the occasional slit-eyed dirty look, that's all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
