The story behind Madonna playing A New Level's main riff is because the guitarist sharing the stage with her is Monte Pittman, who was a member of Prong and her and Guy Ritchie's guitar teacher. Prong opened for Pantera on their tour for Vulgar and so he of course new Dime and she learned how to play some Pantera riffs. It was done out of tribute initially, and obviously became a fixture of this version of her song done live.
This is the best version of "Hung up" by Madonna, and also her best ever live performance she's ever done. Her previous concerts are great but this act here give me chills.
Her guitar teacher knew Dimebag and used a new level to teach her about drop tunings, she liked it so much that she put it in her show. stop gatekeepings so hard sheesh
It is so sad that metalheads can't just simply accept she rocks just because she's a pop musician. Do you really think that she couldn't have decided on her own to perform her own song doing this mix? A musician who's constantly doing totally unexpected new versions of her own songs live? Uhm, guys, when we are talking about Madonna, we are talking about a legend, an artist so huge as The Beatles. An integral and multifacetical artist. I'm pretty sure Madonna knows more metal than you think because hell yeah, she is a fucking queen. I'm so sorry that you cannot see this fact just because she is a woman and a pop musician. Metal is not only for metalheads. But is pretty clear most of metalheads just listen to metal.
@@MxLee192 Curioso, porque la década del 2000, es la era más heterosexual de Madonna... R&B with Timbaland, Electronica, Folkpop, Country... La era gay de Madonna fue en los 80s y 90s.
I get a Europe Vibe too,I assume it's trying to be retro. It's not an exact cover by any means,the presnetation is far different,but like,it definetely sounds like a variation on the main riff from "A New Level" by Pantera. As a Female Oriented Pop Star too it makes the song a very obvious throwback track since it stands out from the rest of her work directly,so I assume it's very intentional.
OK I am not sure this has been said, but Madonna started in Punk Rock, in the late 70's. She played drums in Breakfast Club, and Guitar in Emmy, yes, that is definitely her playing the guitar, and check out her performance on Letterman, she can certainly play, might not be Oranthi, but she's doing it. She plays drums, perhaps, at only slightly above Novice level, but enough to make them work and play as the drummer in a band, a guitarist too. I didnt know she revisted it live. I love her now.
That's been highly debunked that she's played guitar since the 70s. There's a video of her playing Don't Tell Me on TV in 2000 and she says she's just started learning two months ago. She's playing Am, C and G and is looking at the frets the whole time and is late on the G nearly all the way through. However, she CAN play because three years later she performed an acoustic version of an album track called Mother and Father off her American Life album. In that performance she's playing the same chords but this time she's playing (I think, if I remember correctly) an F major full barre chord. She definitely plays a barre chord and she plays it in time and sings beautifully. It's probably my favourite Madonna performance of all time. If she was playing like that in 2003, I can only imagine that almost 20 years later (how did THAT happen?! 20 years?!) that she's a very, very, good player. Plus she'll have the best guitars and best people to teach her. She had a second guitarist playing with her on the Mother and Father performance and people in the comments knew who he was and said she was taught by the best. It's definitely worth a watch if you like her and like to see her playing guitar.
@@Apis4 where? I'd love to see them. I'll happily admit I'm wrong if I am but she literally says in 2000 "I've just started learning to play so I might mess up, don't nobody laugh at me, promise not to laugh at me?" There's a video on here of a professional guitar player called Wings of Pegasus who analyses that video and he mentions what you said about her playing for what would have been at least 21 years and said there's just no way. Even I can tell that's not someone who's played since the 70s. I wonder why she lied and said she had just started learning then? That's odd. Anyway, link me the videos you're on about x
Am I the only Pantera fan that thought this was actually kind of cool? I mean it could've been worse, can you imagine Lil Wayne trying to play this riff? I mean at least Madonna got the riff down.
Let me explain, why it completely sucks. First of all, almost every Dime's riff is a piece of art, that sounds like a mastership only when played by its creator (like bohemian rapsody). She will never perform this riff with the attitude and passion, comarable to Dime's. Second, she played it without announcing the real creator. So just imagine: literally 95% of the audience have no clue who Dimebag is, and after she started playing the riff they would think: ""Wooow, ShE iS sO hArDcOre", when basically she had just borrowed the riff without letting people know it's not hers. She, or anybody whose idea it was, simply privatised the riff, which i consider a complete disrespect for Dimebag. And yeah, screw sellout artists which she definitely is.
Im not a big fan of madonna, but mixing these two songs was an incredible idea. I bet that a lot of the fans in the arena might tought "OMFG, Madonna has been possesed by a demon, but the song rocks..."
At first I thought this was stupid because I was a young kid with the “metal metal metal everything poser this and that that’s not metal” mentality. But watching this now. I wouldn’t have any other pop artist than Madonna playing a Pantera riff. It’s pretty fuckin awesome when you think of it
They say imitation is the best form of flattery, this is a very difficult song to play and learn and she did it well. Great job Madonna in doing this, I dug it. That’s why she’s the Goat 🐐
It is very common for the more closed-minded rock / metal community not to enjoy anything that is not of their genre, especially when it involves someone from pop trying to cover a striking rock/metal song. But when you have an open mind and know how to value each genre that exists in this world, you start to understand and love these covers, the artists and their songs, and of course this version of Madonna's "Hung Up" with the striking riffs of "A New Level" by Pantera, made this song even more awesome and incredible, and this demonstrates once again, you don't have to be someone from rock / metal to be good at guitar or any other instrument related to this genre.
The Pantera riff aside, she goes full noise rock/punk with that guitar! Most would see this as ridiculous and hilarious, but it’s genuinely awesome in my book. Feedback and distortion glory 🙂
Im not a madonna fan, but as a fan of pantera, i think its cool that her guitar player (from PRONG who toured with pantera many times) showed her this kinda music... she seems to like jammin' it, if it means more people exposed to pantera and metal, who gives a fuck, win win for everyone.
luke knutson actually Madonna should know this type of music already. She discovered Deftones! I know Pantera and Deftones two different bands but, she should know whats up with Pantera lol
Nice! Old gal had her game on this night. Good show. The mix was very good, guitar talent is evident, and the vocals were nailed. The guitar riff is really quite simple. But she kept her rhythm very well and that extended string scratch session was almost classic. Great job girl.
Awesome.I love Madonna and at the same time love Metallica,heavy stuff,and am getting into Pantera beyond the singles.When this kinda stuff happens it's glorious.
Who knew before this that The Queen could play metal riffs, especially Dimebag's riffs?! He's up there right now smiling down at her and rolling a fat one for her...with Vinnie right alongside him twirling his sticks. Well done, lady, well done...
Madonna is a very talented.She also can play metal and grunge. At this Performance it's just a small part of her genius. Madonna rocks. That's real masterpiece. Best of the best.
Gotta have respect for a pop singer to pay tribute to one of the best metal bands of all time by playing their riff. In her own right she's done wonders for music, but this is just cool as fuck. Plus holy shit her drummer is badass
The metal aside, I always LOVED how she went all noise rock (Sonic Youth-esque) at the end. I actually easily liked that more than her playing Pantera (which I found pretty cool). Sick! 🔥
Awesome! I drove by Dimebag's old house in Arlington the other day and paid him some respect. Local legend turned World Wide phenomenom. Miss you bro....
Wow, even Madonna loves Pantera. It seems like you can't go anywhere without hearing about them or something from them. And Dimebag was one hell of a lead guitarist. Granted, his rhythm segments are pretty damn easy to do, but his solos are where he mastered in. And I give her props to nailing the rhythm of this one itself alone. Because, that is a pretty rough rhythm mostly because of the timing.
I have respect for Madonna and I saw her learning guitar on Letterman so ... yeah... it's her...BUT, it has to be mentioned... her left hand is not so impressive ,because the guitar has been tuned to an open chord so all she has to do is bar straight across the fret and she has the chord she needs (look closely). Having said that... her RIGHT hand has improved immensley... which in effect is the more improtant hand to work on. So.. all said and done... you can see the improvement as a guitarist. As a Jimi Hendrix/ Ritchie Blackmore /Stevie Ray Vaughn guitar show-off ... looks like she's a born natural... however... too bad she didn't SMASH the 3.679.00 dollar Les Paul at the end... then I could add Pete Townshend to te show-off list.
This is waaaaay better than a regular pop concert, isn't it? A show with a bunch of people dancing the same way is not what music is about (IMHO). Every pop star should try this at least once... Who knows, they might like it!
show respect to the lady! she's been on music for 30 years, and i hope she'll be here for more, and she actually CAN play! Dimebag would love this, peace out
Madonna is a real one, started in punk, did almost every genre out there and is still a beast when it comes to performance. also, hate seeing the metalheads patronising in the comments. It’s possible to like more than one genre of music and show respect. Madonna transcends those, a real icon, deserves better than those “that’s real music!!! that one pantera fan in the crowd who came with his gf must have loved this!!!!” when in reality most music lovers are able to love and enjoy both, women included.
Besides singing, Madonna has the ability to play several musical instruments. She learned to play drum and guitar from her then-boyfriend Dan Gilroy in the late 1970s, before joining the Breakfast Club line-up as the drummer.[274] This helped her to form the band Emmy, where she performed as the guitarist and lead vocalist.[274] Madonna later played guitar on her demo recordings. On the liner notes of Pre-Madonna, Stephen Bray wrote: "I've always thought she passed up a brilliant career as a rhythm guitarist."[301] After her career breakthrough, Madonna focused mainly in singing but was also credited for playing cowbell on Madonna (1983) and synthesizer on Like a Prayer (1989).[272] In 1999, Madonna had studied for three months to play the violin for the role as a violin teacher in the film Music of the Heart, before eventually leaving the project.[302] After two decades, Madonna decided to perform with guitar again during the promotion of Music (2000). She took further lessons from guitarist Monte Pittman to improve her guitar skill.[303] Since then, Madonna has played guitar on every tour, as well as her studio albums.[272] At the 2002 Orville H. Gibson Guitar Awards, she received nomination for Les Paul Horizon Award, which honors the most promising up-and-coming guitarist.[304]
I like how an already good song, gets a fantastic song just by adding a guitar. Its not that i like madonna's music style, but this is actually pretty cool!
OMG! 1) She's actually PLAYING it! 2) She knows and respects Pantera 3) When she starts the riff the crowd starts cheering - do THEY know it too? Putting all three together, I'm bloody amazed. Madonna's just risen to my tops beating Pink who did a Bohemian Rhapsody cover. Horns up!
I'm so late to this it's crazy, but the first thing I noticed was that the crowd and the musicians went nuts when she started the riff . . . I can't believe any of these fans would know Pantera just by a riff, but maybe . . .
@@erdisahin5657 People will say anything to discredit her. But at the end of the day, they’re anonymous haters on the internet and she’s on stage playing. This was awesome in person. My first M Tour.
Metal elitists will bitch about pop stars being too poppy, but then as soon as they go to incorporate something heavier, its not enough. This was pretty badass, even if I'm not a huge Madonna fan.
Is so damn "bitchy"!If she likes Pantera so much why wouldn't do that 15 years ago when nobody cared for this kind of music?Doing it for the money that's it!
The point is right there in your observation.She has no clue about metal, she doesn't like Pantera and she is jamming with a electric guitar now when metal is very popular.Why?!!!
Look i'm a huge metal head. Not a big madonna fan. Pantera is one of the greatest. That being said, you've gotta giver her credit. At least she(a pop star) is actually PLAYING and instrument and really singing. That's way more than can be said for anyone else in here genre. The chick unmatched IMO as far as reinvention.
Im a metal head here for pantera i most say well pop goimg back to rock and metal was about fucking time see if it inspire music to go back the right direction we need music again
that look Rocked on her & I love her twisting her songs with Metal....I mean she really put all 'rocker' chicks in their place....sitting down. Thats how you do it, bitches.

Montes also from my little east Texas town. Played for a group called Myramains back in the late 80's
small world man... so weird that the guitarist from prong is madonnas guitar teacher. cool though
You sailed the seas of cheese to drop that knowledge on us. Praise the metal and punk gods.
im sure there was one dude here who was a pantera fan dragged along by his girlfriend and when he heard that riff he was really confused
"The fuck....wait, no..yeah that's Madonna and that IS a Dime riff..."
*immediately starts a one man pit*
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
XMorbidReignX *starts fighting everyone
Came here for Pantera
ahahahah :D
Madonna x ABBA x Pantera
The combination you never knew you needed
yes, i did. like you!!
The drummer is happy.....finally....he can use his whole drumkit for once :)
Pantera still kicks ass!!!!
Big time respect for this performance. She showed much musical passion and payed homage to Dimebag Darrell and Pantera. A New Level of Madonna
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Passion sure.. skill.. ughhhh.
This is the best version of "Hung up" by Madonna, and also her best ever live performance she's ever done. Her previous concerts are great but this act here give me chills.
Right up until the end when her guitar was this close 🤏🏻 to being a butt plug.

i'm a metal fan and i do like it. Stop raging it will probably bring more people into metal anyway don't complain.
no
So you need more people to listen to the music you loke so you dont feel guilty... i dont care if i am the only one that enjoy a particular music!

Madonna is a real one, started in punk, did almost every genre out there and is still a beast when it comes to performance.
also, hate seeing the metalheads patronising in the comments. It’s possible to like more than one genre of music and show respect. Madonna transcends those, a real icon, deserves better than those “that’s real music!!! that one pantera fan in the crowd who came with his gf must have loved this!!!!” when in reality most music lovers are able to love and enjoy both, women included.
SteveT brought me here.
Shame didnt talk about the actual pantera bit
She actually did a decent cover, all that was missing was a REAL guitar solo
Same here!
We don't like him. :p
She knows how to play, he just saw the bad part
she was 51 years old ...still hot for her age!
1bottlejackdaniels hahahahaha hell fucking no
@@guerochristophermaldonado9060 You like dudes.
She was never hot.
5:53 St. Anger!!!
Besides singing, Madonna has the ability to play several musical instruments. She learned to play drum and guitar from her then-boyfriend Dan Gilroy in the late 1970s, before joining the Breakfast Club line-up as the drummer.[274] This helped her to form the band Emmy, where she performed as the guitarist and lead vocalist.[274] Madonna later played guitar on her demo recordings. On the liner notes of Pre-Madonna, Stephen Bray wrote: "I've always thought she passed up a brilliant career as a rhythm guitarist."[301] After her career breakthrough, Madonna focused mainly in singing but was also credited for playing cowbell on Madonna (1983) and synthesizer on Like a Prayer (1989).[272] In 1999, Madonna had studied for three months to play the violin for the role as a violin teacher in the film Music of the Heart, before eventually leaving the project.[302] After two decades, Madonna decided to perform with guitar again during the promotion of Music (2000). She took further lessons from guitarist Monte Pittman to improve her guitar skill.[303] Since then, Madonna has played guitar on every tour, as well as her studio albums.[272] At the 2002 Orville H. Gibson Guitar Awards, she received nomination for Les Paul Horizon Award, which honors the most promising up-and-coming guitarist.[304]
This is so cool lol. And it looks like she is actually playing!
i think dimebag darrell would be proud of this
I like how an already good song, gets a fantastic song just by adding a guitar. Its not that i like madonna's music style, but this is actually pretty cool!
OMG! 1) She's actually PLAYING it! 2) She knows and respects Pantera 3) When she starts the riff the crowd starts cheering - do THEY know it too? Putting all three together, I'm bloody amazed. Madonna's just risen to my tops beating Pink who did a Bohemian Rhapsody cover. Horns up!
I'm so late to this it's crazy, but the first thing I noticed was that the crowd and the musicians went nuts when she started the riff . . . I can't believe any of these fans would know Pantera just by a riff, but maybe . . .
I love that she actually plays unlike some pop singers who just act like it and only hold the guitar
Very funny how the drummer suddently goes full metal.
Kool RIP Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott August 20, 1966 - December 8, 2004
That Drummer is pure fire.
Never thought I'd be interested in a Madonna concert, Great though
I presonally love it!
From 4:29 on, probably best and most exciting moment on the whole gig for the guitar players.
She really played good.
I hope you're joking.
@@hcsd48 what is wrong with that
@@erdisahin5657 People will say anything to discredit her. But at the end of the day, they’re anonymous haters on the internet and she’s on stage playing. This was awesome in person. My first M Tour.
Only just read about this tonight. Really fucking cool tbh. Rest in Peace Dime🤘
You can tell the guitar player is having the time of his life.
ABBA and Pantera in one song? never thought i would hear it. Ever.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this is lit
Metal elitists will bitch about pop stars being too poppy, but then as soon as they go to incorporate something heavier, its not enough. This was pretty badass, even if I'm not a huge Madonna fan.
If there is anything more threatening to metalheads than a pop star they mock perfectly duplicating their hero I don't know about it.
you can say whatever you want... it's so damn sexy that she plays guitar, and even more a Pantera Riff!! \m/
Is so damn "bitchy"!If she likes Pantera so much why wouldn't do that 15 years ago when nobody cared for this kind of music?Doing it for the money that's it!
The point is right there in your observation.She has no clue about metal, she doesn't like Pantera and she is jamming with a electric guitar now when metal is very popular.Why?!!!
***** Here Here!
because she likes the fucking riff that's all dude.. and metal is not that popular... it was on the 80's :)
*****
I can't believe that you all stand in awe with this talentless show.And yes metal is quite hype nowadays ;).
With this she just earned the headlining set on the 2nd stage at Ozzfest
Not bad for a pop queen...pantera rules
They ate it up, all they need is a pop star to feed it to them.
That's why she is the G.O.A.T 👑
I think it's cool and my wife being a Madonna fan from her first album thought it was freakin' awesome.
Look i'm a huge metal head. Not a big madonna fan. Pantera is one of the greatest. That being said, you've gotta giver her credit. At least she(a pop star) is actually PLAYING and instrument and really singing. That's way more than can be said for anyone else in here genre. The chick unmatched IMO as far as reinvention.
Im a metal head here for pantera i most say well pop goimg back to rock and metal was about fucking time see if it inspire music to go back the right direction we need music again
thats what she did in NY underground clubs before getting " discovered ".
My thoughts exactly. I think it's pretty cool that she even acknowledged metal!
that look Rocked on her & I love her twisting her songs with Metal....I mean she really put all 'rocker' chicks in their place....sitting down. Thats how you do it, bitches.
she is in a tuning where she only needs one finger to play this is more pop than ever cause its F A K E
I don't think Pat Benatar has anything to worry about.
WOW in memory of dimebag.much props to madonna
I'll give my respects to her. Fucking badass to play some Pantera infront of Madonna fans :D
madonna is a God I say!!! able to put ABBA and PanterA in one, that's just a masterpiece.
Badass Madonna
@11DNA11 yeah good cool mate, Dime would have loved it!
That was kinda cool tbfh
