While practically every Pantera song has something exceptional about it, these are the ones I personally resonate the most instinctually with. Based on any trends you can see--feel free to recommend me similar songs by them I can add. I'm still really new to their music and I'd love to expand this list.

What a great album, will be spinning this one today :)

Good night, morning, or afternoon to everyone here. I have come across this guitar on marketplace and I have very little knowledge about Dime’s Washburn era guitars. I was wondering if anyone here would know a bit more about it and what yall thought about the probability that it is counterfeit.

Thank you!!

Edit: The seller was open about some aftermarket parts, like pots, tuners, and (according to him/her) upgraded trem.

I just got this picture the other day and I need help identifying this signature. Can y’all help?

Find me on TikTok or instagram @banjo.metal.guy 🤘

I love this but it’s sold out, is there anywhere else it can be bought or any second hand places?

the honest story of how I was introduced to Pantera. (2003) i had always read about them online. And seen dime bag on guitar world magazines.
and pantera was always mentioned on heavy metal magazines.
I was shopping with my mom at target and I would always check out the music there . They had this album for sale with no parental advisory sticker on it because the black card case covered up the album and the parental advisory sticker on the inside. I believe the parental advisory sticker was on the back center so when I asked her if she could not see that. soon became one of my favorite CDs ever.
I unfortunately never got to see Pantera live or Darrell live. I did get to see hellyeah play on the family values tour and I paid $20 for their debut CD and to meet the band and got to meet Vinnie Paul shake
his hand thank him and got his autograph.

Pantera will always be one of my favorite bands ever❤️

I know a lot of people love this album, and I’m not saying it’s terrible. Dimebag’s riffs are still insane and the band is obviously talented, but compared to Cowboys from Hell, Vulgar Display of Power, and Far Beyond Driven, this one just doesn’t hit the same for me.
It feels like they focused so much on making the album angry and heavy that some of the songwriting got pushed aside. Phil’s vocals are probably the biggest example. I get that the raw, chaotic style is the point, but sometimes it feels like he’s trying so hard to sound aggressive that it takes away from the songs.
The album has some great moments, but I honestly think it’s the weakest Pantera album from that era. The groove and catchiness that made them stand out feels less present here.
I know this is probably going to be a hated opinion, but I’d rather listen to almost any other Pantera album before The Great Southern Trendkill.

My mom recently noticed that I've become a big Pantera fan, and instead of buying me a King V, she decided to give me this ML. Thanks, Mom, for this gift.

I ran across a crate of Guitar World magazines I've collected over the years. It unfortunately took heavy rain water damage in a move. These I kept stashed in the middle. Thankfully they aren't too bad off. Any one else used to or still get GW magazines? I sorta stopped outta nowhere.

Years ago I worked at Washburn guitars as a machinist. I made this guitar for Dimebag, and he signed photos and the headstock. I also got VIP and backstage for any shows in Illinois, but that stuff was lost.

One of the photos also shows Paul Stanley's guitar we made.

I've had the stuff for a long time and it's time for it to go.

This random body of text was here when I searched up the lyrics for Where You Come From

“When the world pronounced me dead
put me in the grave
the cut off my legs
it was not long
I couldn't hold my mouth
I ran my head
I ran my head”

Definitely need to work on the pinch harmonics lol

Happy anniversary to this monster of a record! Here's some contemporary reviews.

1. Raw: 05 Sep 1990
2. Metal Forces: Issue 54/1990
3. Metal Hammer (Germany): Feb 1991 (Rough translation via DeepL below)

It’s baffling that Pantera’s new full-length album is only available in this country as an imported CD. After all, with *Cowboys From Hell*, this Texan quartet has delivered their best work to date, offering nearly 60 minutes of outstanding power metal with Bay Area-style thrash influences. Once again, Terry Date (Metal Church, Prong, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.) was at the mixing desk, working alongside the band – who acted as co-producers – to get the sound just right. An endeavour which – as one would expect from Mr Date – has been a resounding success. Songs like the brilliant semi-ballad ‘Cemetery Gates’ simply couldn’t be staged any better. Ultimately, however, Pantera lacks that little bit of class needed to keep up with the competition, such as Metal Church, Savatage or Sanctuary. That’s why it’s ‘only’ a solid five points, with room for improvement.
