(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.

There's no need for arguments like this...who cares how fast the music is as long as it's good, fits the style of the song and moves people. :) Tithonu's posts are just useless random ramblings -repeated over and over again- that don't get to the point and certainly don't add anything to a good music discussion. Pointless might be the right word because after what feels like thousands of hate-posts it's actually getting a bit deranged . :D I predict many more, though, haha.

The whole essence of the groove thing they had going on was breaking down those fast thrash tempoes. That's not failing to play fast, that's just their style. Domination was used as a counter to Titho stating Pantera can only play 'slow and sloppy at 120 bpm'. First off the correct musical term for 120 bpm would be moderate, not slow. And secondly, Pantera has a lot of songs at different tempoes, some around 120, some slower. And of course faster stuff too like Fucking Hostile, The Great Southern Trendkill and Death Rattle to name a few. And then we come to the point, playing at whatever bpm doesn't say shit about your musical talent. So Titho, next failed argument please.

Maybe you should concede the point that everyone isn't buying those opinions you represent and move on? I'm not, I somewhat respect them yet I do not underwrite them... "That's because it's his lazy way of sounding "tough" " May I see the reliable Internetsource considering this? And majority of Panteras stuff is around 120 bpm, since they were a groove band; slower tempo was essential to their sound. And about this "are they playing fast or not" question: like mentioned, playing 64th notes at 120 bpm rate is fast.

Floods is one of the worst songs ever, yet the outro is awesome. Phil used to be able to pronounce things.

TithonuSyndrome wrote:
Oh, and for another point; Phil Anselmo can't reliably pronounce any vowel other than the "O" phoneme. That's because it's his lazy way of sounding "tough", when really, he just sounds like Elmer Fudd.

TithonuSyndrome wrote:
He seems to think that the fact that he stuffed his fingers in his ears and squealed "CAN'T HEAR YOU" over and over is a "counter". Then, when I repeat myself because he hasn't acknowledged the point, he throws a second tantrum because I'm "repeating myself". Gee, maybe you should *concede the fucking point* and I'll move on?

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.
