Awfully overrated Nu-Metal/Groove Metal band from Texas. Started as a tolerable, if not likeable glam band, but then in the Nineties changed the style to ride out on the success of thrash metal by playing semi-intense "metal" riffs. Guitarist Dimebag Darrell, formerly known as Diamond, is ridiculously overrated and only plays generic bluesy pseudo-metal riffs over Vinnie Paul's overproduced drums. Phil "Anal Slam-o" Anselmo's vocals are the most horrid heaps of garbage to ever come from human vocal cords. Inspired the likes of Lamb of God and countless others.
Kid who hangs out at the mall: R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell! Pantera's the best band ever.
Person with musical knowledge: Get outta my face you piece of shit.

Metal Forces rated the horrible Pantera album "Metal Magic" 8 out of 10 because the metal elitists would beat them up if they didn't.
Thrash, sludge, and groove metal were extremely influenced by hardcore, Panterarized.

A very good heavy metal band from the early '90s, yet they are also one of the two bands (along with Nirvana) that destroyed '80s metal such as Mötley Crüe, Poison, and even Metallica. Pantera introduced a much more dark and heavy type of metal to the public than they were used to. This later spawned many subgenres of metal such as death metal, dark metal, and goth metal. Each and every one of these genres sucks, because this is one of those things where the first one is the best one.
Music was great before, and even during the early Pantera days, now the mainstream music scene is all whining emo kids, wannabe rappers, suicidal goths, and screaming ass holes who have no clue what real music is, and I blame you, Pantera.

BEST FUCKING HEAVY METAL BAND IN THE WORLD. they created a whole new genre, and without them all the little hardcore bands wouldn't be here today. They have a variety of sounds, each album has a different sound. They have the best line up too...best guitarist you could ask for (Dimebag Darrell), best vocalist (Phil Anselmo), best drummer (Vinnie Paul), and a damn good bassist (Rex Brown).
