@@marcokollmann8157 yeah it's a good song. That 4 second riff that is like one of the greatest riffs and we just get this teasing little taste of it. Few can shred like Dimebag could.
@@PeterBarber too many to list. I always loved "Revolution is my Name" "Domination" if you want heavy Honestly if you just did a 6 hour stream of pantera reactions I would watch the hell out of that.
That's Phil singing with himself on the record, but Rex does the backing vocals when they sing live. Phil was a Judas Priest nut (in fact he did covers of Priest songs before Pantera) so he sings with chest voice that high, just like Halford. If you were to hear him speak it would blow your damn mind. He's got a voice like a 200 year old oak door.
@@fanatic26 That said, shoutout Phil for being clean and sober for about 20 years now, which is evermore evident in his interviews and positive attitude when you hear him chat. I'm glad he's still around and rocking.
I wish this video version of this song would get scrubbed from the internet. It skips a crucial introduction to the song and gives it a different feel. And everyone reacts to it.
The full 7 minute video has been out there for years. Most dont realize Pantera made 2 videos for CEMETERY GATES. The other one has the intro and cuts off the outro. A fan just pieced them together. Full video...... Its a shame everyone requests the same song and reactors always get only half the song.
When you listen to Phil's speaking voice, it makes hearing him hit these high notes, even more impressive. When talking, he literally has the voice of a bass vocalist. His range is spectacular. There cant be very many people on this earth, with Anselmo's range.
Ironically, there is another singer named Phil that has similar, if not greater, range. Check out Small Town Titans. They do a cover of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” that showcases it very well.
@@TheVadrigar, yeah, he always had an E1 in chest-fry and an A1 in pure chest. When it comes to the depth of our voice in mode 1 (chest voice), we either have it or we don't... we don't exactly grow into it... we may gain resonance with age, but we don't gain much in the depth of our chest voice. From the 1990s, with crap audio, you can still clearly hear he is a bass. th-cam.com/video/Fjr1dsPpU7c/w-d-xo.html
no he's not, phil is a baritone, he has an extremely similar tessitura to M. Shadows, they're both high baritones, if not low tenors since both can sing in chest up till B4/C5. Basses aren't mixing in the mid 5th octave lol, theres plenty of low tenors who can hit G1~ area
@@triplej8666, I can show you several basses that can mix belt into the 5th octave. Definitely not true. High baritones don't reach an A1 in pure chest... sorry, been doing this for over 30 years. Like Peter, I went to school for music.
@@Duarki In the video it shows Rex doing it - usually (always?) the case at live shows - which is what I meant. I didn't know that he doesn't do it in the recording, but I'll take your word for it
@@Varandil oh yeh, i guess it’s like Metallica with Jason, or trivium with beau, or kse with Adam. even though live they sing quite a bit, in the studio it’s all the main singer.
Always love it when the opera singers and vocal coaches get to the dueling guitar and Phil's voice on the crazy high notes at the end! Phil and Dime both shredding!
Dime was a good friend. Vinnie was almost as big a Dallas Stars fan as me, lol. I’d see him at every game, sitting right behind the goalie. As a DJ, they gave me Cowboys From Hell as soon as it was recorded, so I was the very first to play them on the radio. Before Phil, they were a big hair/spandex band. 😎☮️❤️🎼
This was the first Pantera song I heard, on the jukebox in my local biker pub one afternoon. I left my pint with my friends and ran down into the main shopping street to buy Cowboys From Hell on CD. Those harmonies between Phil and Dimebag near the end..."Gaaaaaates..." Goosebumps!
You listened for the vocals and got to hear one of the greatest guitfiddle players of all time. The day Dime was murdered the music world died a little, and when Vinnie fell a little more. RIP to the great Abbott brothers
It's funny a guy I know who lives down the road from me, was actually the original manager for Pantera back in Dallas Texas. He knew the Abbott brothers from high school. He's now moved on from them and moved up to doing only international tour management with bands like cristina Aguilara, U2, Madonna, Coldplay, Metallica (last time i talked to him was 2009ish). But he used to always tell us when we were hanging out with him about what he did and we all kind of didn't believe him but played along. Until one day you got a phone call and said that he had to go pick up his buddy from Dulles airport who was flying in for a show the next day and 20 minutes later we had Tommy Lee hanging out with us around his fire pit. And Tommy Lee was telling us stories that he was the wildest man to party with haha
Yeah, he did everything a singer should not do. It's like he said, "Yeah, well watch me, punk!" 😅 VDOP was the last album that he still had his full range and dynamics.
early 90's Portland Oregon. A sea of long-haired dudes with black t-shirts. when the song was over, they all dispersed. some guy from the front emerged with blood streaming down from his smiling face. Was a great show. With Sepultura and Prong.
Something I never thought about til recently: Dimebag plays his guitar as though he's a vocalist. Even with listening to Pantera for years I hadn't heard it until I watched Loli of The Fairy Voice Mother react to Cemetery Gate. Even before the final back and forth she mentioned it, and of coarse the ending confirmed it even more. Since she pointed it out I cant stop hearing it!
Show your guitar friend them playing "Domination" live in Moscow. The outro is epic. As they were waking off stage, Metallica was up next. Dime looked at Kirk and said, "Let's see ya follow that kid"! 🤣🇺🇲🤘 R.I.P. Abbott bros.
When Pantera hit the scene I was OBSESSED!! I was living in Louisiana at the time and they were HUGE!! Parties,clubs,radio stations, & Mtv ALL rocked Pantera!! Great times, awesome music…man I mss those days sometimes.thanks for bringing back the good times!! This love is another HIGH ENERGY and ROCKIN track i highly recommend.🤘🏼🎶❤️✌🏻
Same amount of concerts. 👍1990-2000. 5 albums + 2 songs. Thank you Abbott family! My knees actually buckled when my girlfriend (now late wife) called me and told me the news. I went home to grieve & play GST at top volume.
Really, really, cool listening to your explanation of his vocal techniques, and singing mechanics in general. I love learning new things, especially while listening to Pantera. You've earned my sub!
One of the best songs in the history of metal music, I'm not exaggerating. And that musical atmosphere they were able to create! Btw. is from those, who didn't understand who Dimebag and Vinnie were.... For these two I raise a hymn, a beer, not the cross. 🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺 Thx Peter 👍👍 Nice analysis.
...and now you have witnessed the greatness that was Dimebag Darrell. (in case you didn't look he was the lead and rythm guitarist) @sureduck head was thinking it, hands didn't type it.
I just came across your reaction to one of my favorite bands ever, Pantera 🔥. I love seeing how a lyrical singer can feel this band's music almost the way their fans feel it. It's impossible to listen to Pantera and not gesticulate your face with Phil Anselmo's expressions, that means you did it 👏🏻👏🏻. Well, there must be a link because most of us metalheads also love classical music. Thanks for this video, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Well they weren't really a glam band. Just a rock band of teenagers following the trends of the Whiskey in LA. Where Van Halen along with others hit the charts from. If you look at them after that 'Hollywood' experience, they became the anti glam heavy rock band they were. Dime even went out of his way to find an anti rock guitarist rock tone. Using Randal's not Marshal's, and none of that Charvel, Ibanez standard of the day. They were never the glam rockers the industry attempted to make them to be. Made them harder and more in your face after it all. Namely, 'the cowboys from hell.'
@@DV-cs4ye one that entertained me recently was a meme talking about HATEBEAK being a black metal band with a parrot. *Listens to it* Well, this is clearly death metal. It's great though xD
This song was a huge influence on me musically in HS, then the day before I graduated I got into a near fatal car accident with this song on. Everytime I hear it it reminds me of that moment in time. Flipped my car 6 times and took out a tree in a Dodge Neon.
This is the official music video, but this is not the official audio. The studio version is 7:03 in length and has an acoustic intro that was cut for the music video. I know im little late but highly suggest you check it out on your free time because it is truly a beautiful intro.
Dynamics, atmosphere, and 4 virtuosos = amazing! These guys killed the circuit on tour, no one could touch their sheer talent. And very few today can eithier! May the Abbot Bros live forever in their musical achievements, and their humanity, the kindness they showed their fans, never to busy to chat or sign an autograph or share a beer.👍🤙💯👏👏👏👏👏
ok,if you want more of those high notes from Phil,you are gonna have to stick to "Cowboys from Hell" i recommend the songs "Shattered" & "Medicine Man" next for more HIGH note Phil cause after CFH Phil goes on this gradual journey each CD after seeking out his inner "Alex Terrible" lol (even tho Alex wasnt born yet lol) and he does find em,and this is both good & bad as we get some great different music from Phil but we also get a Phil that can no longer reach those once glorious highs!
Phil is such a musicians singer, he's got quite a few different projects. For something completely different, check out En Minor - On the Floor (there's an album version and a Live version somewhere on TH-cam). it's like taking a warm bath, cleans only with nice harmonies... no screaming. Speaking of bath, they've got a song called "Warm Sharp Bath Sleep" :P It's not a very well known project, but I like the melancholy.
Love that you finally hit Pantera!!! 5 major albums to go through! They have no bad songs, you gotta do em all! The titans IMO are: Domination-Live in Moscow Cowboys From Hell The Art of Shredding Mouth for War Slaughtered Throes of Rejection Suicide Nt 1 and 2 (together, a masterpiece of despair and subsequent anger 🤌) Floods (the truly greatest guitar piece from Dime) Revolution Is My Name Just to START 😏
Im brand new to this channel and the guy reacting to the video, Peter, has a great speaking voice. Really great . Bruce Dickenson and Freddie Mercury are my favorite male singers.
Early 90s indeed. Nice video. Oh, and I believe that's Rex Brown, that bassist doing harmony. He did in concert (and in the video), and it sounds like him on the record.
One of my most influential bands growing up and teaching myself how to play the guitar. Phil danced with Mr Brownstone and literally died and was resuscitated so that kinda lowered his register, let’s say. Dimebag was taken tragically and I wish he was still making music. What he did to the guitar changed how it was played. We were playing it, he was doing something to it. That’s how you know the legends when they’re in front of you. Great video.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to to recommend Silent Lucidity by Queensryche,and Diamonds & Rust by Rob Halford.these are both songs i feel you would highly appreciate the vocal ranges and styles of the singers. Id love to hear your take on Geoff Tate’s INCREDIBLE range & vocal abilities…and Rob Halford just sounds AMAZING on Diamonds & Rust!!! Thank you 🎶❤️✌🏻
The song Walk. Phil was very approachable after a show if you found yourself lucky enough to score backstage passes. I mean he just got done screaming and jumping around like a maniac and 5 minutes later, "so, how'd ya like the show?" Then he handed out free beers.
Welcome to the world of Pantera. As others have said, check out the full version. Also are you sure hes hitting an A at the end? I thought it was a G#. And now to check out more of your channel.
Okay replying to myself because Ive found the answer which Ive seen before, and forgot. The song (and entire album) was not recorded in A440. Most people say its flat between an eighth and quarter of a step down, depending on the song.
i remember hearing dimebag darrel died on the radio. he was shot on stage by a guy in columbus ohio. i still remember 20 years later i was driving on I69 from imlay city to flint MI. i had the casette tape in my truck. cowboys from hell was and will forever be one of my favorite albulms of all time
I know this is mainly a vocal channel for obvious reasons, but I will say there are certain guitarists who really are like vocalists where the second you hear them you know exactly who they are, and for me Dimebag has always been one of the top exceptional undeniably recognizable players. In my eyes where the instrument is exactly the same and doesnt have the natural personality that can come from each individual voice, it really is a difficult thing to stand out with such a defined identity as a guitar player, it's something that goes beyond technicalities or difficulty levels. RIP legend
RIP Dimebag and Vinny , Pantera is my absolute favourite band. That is my go to when I do my errands. I turn it up and sing along. Have you heard of Sleep Token? I suggest listening to The Summoning first. Amazing band.
Cowboys from Hell came out in 1990 and I bought it on CD (still have it) and I've listened to Cemetery Gates a few times. This entire album is monumental and in all ways the bomb but on a song to song basis Cemetery Gates is like no other. We'd party and when Phil Anselmo did his GGAATTEESS duet w/ Dime Bag everyone would always sing along. This is on my top album list... RIP Abbott bros.
I can't remember what i originally found you reacting to, but i love it, and i almost peed when i saw that you were reacting to Pantera! A match made in heaven!
By now this official vid has made good rounds in the reaction community, and I’m sure it’s obvious why. Absolutely an epic metal tune, all the way. Pantera is considered groove metal, and some of their tracks are really heavy on groove for sure. Which I personally do dig. The astonishing high notes that close out the song get everyone- countless reactors have had their eyes bugging out of their heads. Phil’s vocals got much more predominantly harsher on following albums. And while his speaking voice is deep, I do think he favors using high screams the majority of the time. One exception to that, and hardly anyone catches it: very low in the mix, right before the killer guitar solo begins, he growls the word “gates” darkly.
Okay, my friend, as an Opera singer, check out Iron Maiden, "Hallowed Be Thy Name", live from Beast Over Hammersmith, 1982. The lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, vocal cords of titanium.
Wonderful breakdown. Glad you enjoyed... Pantera was a favorite of many and still is to this day. That being said.. I am wondering if you have ever heard of Ronnie James Dio? He was one of the greats in both rock and metal from the 1970's until his passing in 2010. He sang for many bands over the years, including Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own band simply named 'Dio'. Many would request either 'Holy Diver' or 'Rainbow in the Dark' from his solo band.. or 'Heaven and Hell' from Black Sabbath.. but I would ask for the song 'Stargazer' from his time with the band 'Rainbow' as he was younger and had a bit more vocal range due to youth. His later works were still very strong.. but it is my belief that his best recorded performance was Stargazer. If you are already familiar with Dio then please ignore this post :P hehe
Big shouts to everyone that recommended I check out Pantera! What else from them do I need to analyze?
My favorite Pantera song is "This Love". 😊
@@marcokollmann8157 yeah it's a good song. That 4 second riff that is like one of the greatest riffs and we just get this teasing little taste of it. Few can shred like Dimebag could.

If you want your mind blown watch Domination live. There were 1.6 million people in the crowd and Dime’s solo is insane.

Try listening to En Minor. His voice deteriorated for sure, but he still has voice, it's just much lower now

I was just about to comment about my anticipation 😅 12:24
I was just hoping he wasn't going to cut it off early....
You know it!!! RiP Dime and Vin \m/

When he could sing like in this video also his normal voice was different......

I see Pantera... I click
Of course!!!
i try to watch a video featuring Pantera every day... for years.
Anyone else smile when he mentioned his range knowing what's to come?
I wish this video version of this song would get scrubbed from the internet. It skips a crucial introduction to the song and gives it a different feel. And everyone reacts to it.
I totally agree, and it doesn't even have to go that far. Literally all they have to do is edit the intro back in and it's perfect.
The 2 min intro is the best part really showcases what phil can actually do...
Should watch it after seeing Cemetery Man, that's where I first heard it and it really sets a tone
The full 7 minute video has been out there for years. Most dont realize Pantera made 2 videos for CEMETERY GATES. The other one has the intro and cuts off the outro. A fan just pieced them together. Full video......

Pantera was the funnest concert to go to! So much energy and the biggest mosh pits. Got to see them 10 times.
This is my favourite Pantera song (the full length, album version at least), from the album “Cowboys From Hell”, which contains Phil’s best vocals.

This song was a huge influence on me musically in HS, then the day before I graduated I got into a near fatal car accident with this song on. Everytime I hear it it reminds me of that moment in time. Flipped my car 6 times and took out a tree in a Dodge Neon.
This is the official music video, but this is not the official audio. The studio version is 7:03 in length and has an acoustic intro that was cut for the music video. I know im little late but highly suggest you check it out on your free time because it is truly a beautiful intro.
Enjoyed your reaction! And appreciate your insight & expertise. Pantera was definitely my “gateway drug” into the heavier music genre.✌🏻🤙🏼
Right on!
Dynamics, atmosphere, and 4 virtuosos = amazing! These guys killed the circuit on tour, no one could touch their sheer talent.
And very few today can eithier!
May the Abbot Bros live forever in their musical achievements, and their humanity, the kindness they showed their fans, never to busy to chat or sign an autograph or share a beer.👍🤙💯👏👏👏👏👏
ok,if you want more of those high notes from Phil,you are gonna have to stick to "Cowboys from Hell" i recommend the songs "Shattered" & "Medicine Man" next for more HIGH note Phil cause after CFH Phil goes on this gradual journey each CD after seeking out his inner "Alex Terrible" lol (even tho Alex wasnt born yet lol) and he does find em,and this is both good & bad as we get some great different music from Phil but we also get a Phil that can no longer reach those once glorious highs!
Ah nice. I've seen a few of your vids and liking the song selections. Love me some Pantera.
Pantera can surely be counted as one of the driving metal bands in the 90´s, one of the big ones.
Anything and everything from Pantera. One of the top. Thanks and you got a new sub. 🤘
Phil is such a musicians singer, he's got quite a few different projects. For something completely different, check out En Minor - On the Floor (there's an album version and a Live version somewhere on TH-cam). it's like taking a warm bath, cleans only with nice harmonies... no screaming. Speaking of bath, they've got a song called "Warm Sharp Bath Sleep" :P It's not a very well known project, but I like the melancholy.
Warm Sharp Bath Sleep is so good. The whole album is.
Probably my favorite Pantera song. Awesome, thanks!
R.I.P Dimebag -- the greatest metal guitarist ever . . every note dripping with feel, the cleanest runs, the sense of melody, the dive-bombs . .
I will be forever be extremely thankful etc that I seen these men perform live with every album release & then sum
Dude your reaction to those high notes at the end lol priceless 😎
You need to check out Devin Townsend, now. Either Kingdom (EMGTV), or Deadhead (Live in Royal Albert Hall). Cheers
This is an insanely informative video
Id love to hear you cover this in your own style !!!
Love that you finally hit Pantera!!! 5 major albums to go through! They have no bad songs, you gotta do em all! The titans IMO are:
Domination-Live in Moscow
Cowboys From Hell
The Art of Shredding
Mouth for War
Slaughtered
Throes of Rejection
Suicide Nt 1 and 2 (together, a masterpiece of despair and subsequent anger 🤌)
Floods (the truly greatest guitar piece from Dime)
Revolution Is My Name
Just to START 😏
Fantastic video 👏
Im brand new to this channel and the guy reacting to the video, Peter, has a great speaking voice. Really great .
Bruce Dickenson and Freddie Mercury are my favorite male singers.
Early 90s indeed. Nice video. Oh, and I believe that's Rex Brown, that bassist doing harmony. He did in concert (and in the video), and it sounds like him on the record.
One of my most influential bands growing up and teaching myself how to play the guitar. Phil danced with Mr Brownstone and literally died and was resuscitated so that kinda lowered his register, let’s say. Dimebag was taken tragically and I wish he was still making music. What he did to the guitar changed how it was played. We were playing it, he was doing something to it. That’s how you know the legends when they’re in front of you. Great video.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to to recommend Silent Lucidity by Queensryche,and Diamonds & Rust by Rob Halford.these are both songs i feel you would highly appreciate the vocal ranges and styles of the singers. Id love to hear your take on Geoff Tate’s INCREDIBLE range & vocal abilities…and Rob Halford just sounds AMAZING on Diamonds & Rust!!! Thank you 🎶❤️✌🏻
Try Domination live in Moscow
When you dig for gold 😁👍
"Any of them could do that part". Never underestimate guitar players who shred like a maniac but sing like a dying goat.
This band is very special to some of us. RIP Abbott Boys. Thank you for covering them.
The song Walk.
Phil was very approachable after a show if you found yourself lucky enough to score backstage passes. I mean he just got done screaming and jumping around like a maniac and 5 minutes later, "so, how'd ya like the show?" Then he handed out free beers.
Phil speaks in drop C. I love Pantera till the end. Cool video
"A hard rock group"😆..Love it🤘
Welcome to the world of Pantera. As others have said, check out the full version. Also are you sure hes hitting an A at the end? I thought it was a G#. And now to check out more of your channel.
Okay replying to myself because Ive found the answer which Ive seen before, and forgot. The song (and entire album) was not recorded in A440. Most people say its flat between an eighth and quarter of a step down, depending on the song.
Wonderful reaction!
I have some of those stoneware mugs exactly like that! Got them in Colorado.
i remember hearing dimebag darrel died on the radio. he was shot on stage by a guy in columbus ohio. i still remember 20 years later i was driving on I69 from imlay city to flint MI. i had the casette tape in my truck. cowboys from hell was and will forever be one of my favorite albulms of all time
I know this is mainly a vocal channel for obvious reasons, but I will say there are certain guitarists who really are like vocalists where the second you hear them you know exactly who they are, and for me Dimebag has always been one of the top exceptional undeniably recognizable players. In my eyes where the instrument is exactly the same and doesnt have the natural personality that can come from each individual voice, it really is a difficult thing to stand out with such a defined identity as a guitar player, it's something that goes beyond technicalities or difficulty levels. RIP legend
RIP Dimebag and Vinny , Pantera is my absolute favourite band. That is my go to when I do my errands. I turn it up and sing along. Have you heard of Sleep Token? I suggest listening to The Summoning first. Amazing band.
Cowboys from Hell came out in 1990 and I bought it on CD (still have it) and I've listened to Cemetery Gates a few times. This entire album is monumental and in all ways the bomb but on a song to song basis Cemetery Gates is like no other. We'd party and when Phil Anselmo did his GGAATTEESS duet w/ Dime Bag everyone would always sing along. This is on my top album list... RIP Abbott bros.
I can't remember what i originally found you reacting to, but i love it, and i almost peed when i saw that you were reacting to Pantera! A match made in heaven!
Saw Pantera in 1995 with White Zombie and Deftones. Cedar Rapids Iowa. Pantera is an experience!
I can't believe how hard it is for these people leaving this song as a suggestion to type in studio version with their comment.
By now this official vid has made good rounds in the reaction community, and I’m sure it’s obvious why. Absolutely an epic metal tune, all the way. Pantera is considered groove metal, and some of their tracks are really heavy on groove for sure. Which I personally do dig. The astonishing high notes that close out the song get everyone- countless reactors have had their eyes bugging out of their heads. Phil’s vocals got much more predominantly harsher on following albums. And while his speaking voice is deep, I do think he favors using high screams the majority of the time. One exception to that, and hardly anyone catches it: very low in the mix, right before the killer guitar solo begins, he growls the word “gates” darkly.
Okay, my friend, as an Opera singer, check out Iron Maiden, "Hallowed Be Thy Name", live from Beast Over Hammersmith, 1982. The lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, vocal cords of titanium.
Wonderful breakdown. Glad you enjoyed... Pantera was a favorite of many and still is to this day.
That being said.. I am wondering if you have ever heard of Ronnie James Dio? He was one of the greats in both rock and metal from the 1970's until his passing in 2010.
He sang for many bands over the years, including Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own band simply named 'Dio'.
Many would request either 'Holy Diver' or 'Rainbow in the Dark' from his solo band.. or 'Heaven and Hell' from Black Sabbath.. but I would ask for the song 'Stargazer' from his time with the band 'Rainbow' as he was younger and had a bit more vocal range due to youth. His later works were still very strong.. but it is my belief that his best recorded performance was Stargazer.
If you are already familiar with Dio then please ignore this post :P hehe
Good video. I think I’ve seen you at the Schermerhorn here in Nashville before.
