(1981 – 2003)
Pantera was an extremely popular metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed in 1981. Specifically, some fans consider them power metal, groove metal, or an amalgamation of both (so called “power groove”, a term the band devised themselves). Emerging alongside influential classic thrash metal acts such as Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, Pantera was a key formulator of the post-thrash subgenre of heavy metal music.
At the start of the career the style of Pantera’s image and sound was heavily influenced by bands like KISS & Van Halen. At certain stages, Pantera drew more on the popular LA glam scene. The extent to how far Pantera took the glam image is one of many disputes among fans of heavy metal and those who discredit the band’s popularity to the 90s; however most of the material on the albums themselves were a contrast to typical glam metal formula. They released three albums during this stage before acquiring Razor White vocalist, Philip Anselmo from New Orleans. As soon as Anselmo joined the band the group took a noticable change in style and image with their Power Metal. The album shifted away from most of the glam image and focused mostly on the more respectable speed metal genre. This style would continue evolving for two years as Pantera drew on many more sources of influence within the metal scene.

You've been basically using two arguments when describing your loathe towards Pantera ever since you appeared as DarwinsPitbull: 1) they play slow and dumbed down music. 2) Phil Anselmo is a schoolbully look-alike wannabe and he writes ridicilous lyrics. These are valid arguments in some level, yes, but have been reversed couple of times already in the past as well, yet you keep posting them like the one and only truth, hence my use of quotations. And since you've descended to use of pre-high school expressions, such as "stop crying, dry your tears" and "pearbrained", I assume you've ran out of bullets.

Best album is Power Metal, anyone saying otherwise is a douchebag with no sense of musical preference. If you try to post saying I'm an idiot for thinking this then your opinion is invalid because fuck you.

Why do you keep restating the word "valid" in quotations? Do you somehow believe that doing this will magically cause the validity of the arguments to go away, soothing your hurt and drying your tears?

Tithonu, you should drop accurate descriptions of my limited range of comebacks and start to repeat your two "valid" arguments again.

Wow, some serious bad-mouthing going on in here, I thought these shoutboxes were about bands, not about other users.. I guess I was seriously misunderstood.. Anyway, I've been listening Pantera for years now and their best imo is Cowboys from Hell. I'd like to give a listen to their older stuff too!

"Insults"? They're accurate descriptions of your limited range of comebacks. I realize you don't like being exposed as a squealing infant who basically repeats internet canards ad nauseum, but it doesn't mean they're "insults".
