To call Rex Brown a phenomenal bassist would be an understatement. Always had a great tone and held down that groove, especially while Dimebag would be soloing.
Loved it when he would break loose from Vinnie and kinda ghost the hook parts of the solos under Dime and then right back to holding that groove down .
Rex a great bassist. It's easy to overlook bass when you have the greatest guitarist of all time and one of the greatest vocalists of all time in your group, buy Rex definitely deserves some spotlight.
This is shown very well during the solo to 5 minutes alone. That bass line that Rex throws down at the beginning of the solo is one of the grooviest bass lines of all time
Floods (more like a duet!), Walk, Hard Lines Sunken Cheeks (omg the bass line under the solo) and 5 minutes alone. Also, for the most part, Cemetery gates gets its unique key from the bassline, its only until dimes solo comes in does the guitar sound better than the bass!
I listen to Pantera almost everyday, when I work out listening to Pantera gives me power through pain. Pantera is one of the greatest bands ever in history, and will always be my number 1!!!!!!!!
This was easily one of the most entertaining and informative videos I’ve seen in a while!! Feel free to do whatever you want, of course, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if you did this type of video for every band you like😂
@@ikon4255 I was thinking the same. It sounds like it'd be good until you really listen. Like you said it sounds processed and muddy to where you can't pick the notes out so much
Pantera are just the greatest of all time. One of the things that impressed me about Rex's parts was the parts he would play during the guitar solos. Sometimes a totally new riff but always fitted perfectly. No need for a rhythm guitar part.
The breakdown in Five Minutes Alone will always be the heaviest music I'll ever hear. No amount of machine gun beats and gurgling into the mic can top how simultaneously aggressive and confident that 15 seconds is.
I actually think the breakdown in One is the heaviest shit ever. But the idea behind our opinions are one in the same. I say this as a huge technical death metal fan haha. I agree that no amount of blast beats or growling can top how heavy both breakdowns are. 5 minutes alone is a serious contender for One though. I'm glad I saw this comment because those two songs are about as heavy as metal can possibly get.
You nailed every bit of those and that tone is monstrous! That bass itself is sick as hell too. I also really like the fact that you don't use a pick. I don't play with a pick, myself, so this makes me incredibly happy to see. Nicely done 🤘
Im a guitar player but bass was my first love still love bass i dont want to hear a band without a bass player love hearing bass gettin to shine with its own solos ive heard some really good bass songs just bass and drums...i could listen to a good bass player like this guy and just drums and i love guitar but im ramblin sorry nice video!
Dimebag is one of the best metal guitarist of all time, but people underestimate how much Rex added to Dimebag's live sound. I remember watching a live video while they were playing and Rex's bass cut out for a few seconds and you could hear the difference. Not taking anything away from Dimebag, absolutely not, just saying that it makes a big difference and it takes Dimebag's sound to a whole other level. Go check Art of Shredding from their 1990 HQ live performance, you can hear Rex's bass during Dime's solo and it's pretty insane what he is doing.
I’ve mostly focused on Dime Vin, & Phil depending on the tune but hell yeah this rocks🤘🏼 gives a whole new appreciation for what Rex was doing! Great playin man ….Rock on 🤘🏼 💯🎶
Know what, I'm gonna say it - Rex was/is truly one of the best metal bassists ever. Usually when you listen to isolated bass tracks in metal you think "huh, this doesn't really sound all that great on its own", but when you listen to Rex's isolated tracks, or along with drums like in this awesome video, you automatically adapt your "war face" and start headbanging like crazy. Such insanely talented people, all of them in Pantera.
Loved the video all of those songs sound so much better with Brown’s bass behind dime. Another song the bass is great in is shedding skin I would love to see you make a part 2 with more great pantera songs with profound bass.
What in the actual hell was this other worldly phenomenon I just heard? Holy shit! I’m trying to learn some Pantera songs and you made all that look so effortless. When I play it, it sounds like a guy dropped his bass in a pile of elephant dung.
@@seansullivan7928 playing with a pick vs fingers brings a lot of different tones and can make certain riffs more difficult to play depending on how they’re written. A big part of Rex’s style was the specific tone he got from playing with a pick.
I just found your channel by chance and I honestly don't understand how you don't have WAY more subs than you do. You're an extremely talented player and you have a KILLER tone. You got a quick sub from me my friend.

Rex was a big reason why pantera still sounded so full/dense/heavy with only one guitarist.
Absolutely correct
layering aswell.
Agree
Pantera in all was a Super Group. Every member was outstanding.

He was great at “walking bass” lines under Dime’s solos.
@@ricwood7976 this guy playing on this video is freaking awesome
Definitely one of the things I loved about Rex's bass parts was what he played while Dime soloed. No need for rhythm guitar at all.
That really sums up Rex. Thank u.
Rex a great bassist. It's easy to overlook bass when you have the greatest guitarist of all time and one of the greatest vocalists of all time in your group, buy Rex definitely deserves some spotlight.
i agree with you about rex but phil cannot sing !!
@@michaelgmcauliffe have you even heard the vocal range of that man? what in the world are you talking about
You kinda forgot the greatest drummer there
@TiaButCooler after cowboys his voice dropped off, and became worse during his junkie years.
Rex brown was the key to making dime's solos sound more amazing than other's. Cannibal corpse is a great example.
Alex Webster is a beast lmao
This is shown very well during the solo to 5 minutes alone. That bass line that Rex throws down at the beginning of the solo is one of the grooviest bass lines of all time
There's zero comparison between Rex and Alex Webster. Rex isn't playing anywhere near in the same ballpark. He isn't even playing the same sport
Floods (more like a duet!), Walk, Hard Lines Sunken Cheeks (omg the bass line under the solo) and 5 minutes alone.
Also, for the most part, Cemetery gates gets its unique key from the bassline, its only until dimes solo comes in does the guitar sound better than the bass!

It's that unbelievable energy ⚡
@@neffetSnnamremmiZ Pantera is one of the best energy bands ever bro, metal is forever and it's in our genes.
Sick rifs, from one of the best metal bands in history, personally my favorite metal band.
A much missed band! One of the greatest metal bands, and IMHO, the perfect metal band! Pantera forever!
The basslines are phenomenal. Those played along Floods' solo are incredible
he follow the guitar 99% of the times and play with a pick lol
@@sebg2086 it complements Dimebag. So what? Less a bassist for that?
@@miguelporras8366 yes any average guitarist can replace him
@@sebg2086 so why he was picked to play with the band and noy any average bass player? Because of his texan moustache?
@@miguelporras8366 probly because he was friend with them? Anybody can replace him lol.....if they did replace dime in the pantera tribute band.....
This was easily one of the most entertaining and informative videos I’ve seen in a while!! Feel free to do whatever you want, of course, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if you did this type of video for every band you like😂
Thanks 🔥 🙏
One of the best bass tones I have ever heard
sounds way too dry sounding, you can barely hear the note under the distortion and high treble.
@@ikon4255 I was thinking the same. It sounds like it'd be good until you really listen. Like you said it sounds processed and muddy to where you can't pick the notes out so much
@@ikon4255 and the finger style does not have the pick attack and tightness that rex had
Very well played. That 5 mins alone bass groove is so sick
Pantera are just the greatest of all time. One of the things that impressed me about Rex's parts was the parts he would play during the guitar solos. Sometimes a totally new riff but always fitted perfectly. No need for a rhythm guitar part.
Dude, you have such great metal tone. Love it.
A gift to the bass community thank you

@@coltonpugh9669 can't argue there. As much of a chode as Lars Ulrich is, I really love that beat.
@@merces47letifer4 The chodiest of chodes! 🤣
Totally agree
This video actually made me realize how awesome Pantera is. Never gave it a second thought til now, and now I like Pantera
You have a wholeeee lot of listening to get to, mate.
That's sick dude, my favorite band of all time \m/
Wow, what a video bro! You killed every single song! I gotta go check out more videos you’ve done now!
That tone would make Rex and Dimebag proud. Absolutely love it, keep rocking it🤘.
Thanks a ton!
Can’t have the grooviest metal without a badass bassline
Nice
Viva PANTERA 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
R.i.p. DIME VINNIE
Legends never die
Nice man!
Great skills!)
Pantera forever in my ❤️
Heard the bass tone, instant like!
The precision on your right hand is NUTS!!! Reminds me of the damn hand from The Addams Family 😆
You nailed every bit of those and that tone is monstrous! That bass itself is sick as hell too. I also really like the fact that you don't use a pick. I don't play with a pick, myself, so this makes me incredibly happy to see. Nicely done 🤘
Eugene from Jinjer uses that bass as well! He's a phenomenal musician too
i agree with you!!! i started playing bass way back in 1985. i seldom use a pick
That tone is godly!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That's a great tone right there!
its always good when i can tell what the song is just hearing the bass
this is one of the better rex videos ive ever seen, well done
"Revolution is my name" is my gold. Awesome tone dude..
But he forgot the best bass lick in revolution is my name 😅
@@neffetSnnamremmiZ yess 😅anyway, i love it.. i have a tribute of Pantera since 90's
Im a guitar player but bass was my first love still love bass i dont want to hear a band without a bass player love hearing bass gettin to shine with its own solos ive heard some really good bass songs just bass and drums...i could listen to a good bass player like this guy and just drums and i love guitar but im ramblin sorry nice video!
Domination has the BEST bass line ever
Sick ass TONE my bro!! Absolutely killed it. RexFuckingBrown is the Groove Master .

Dig it brother . Pantera is my favorite band all time. Those 4 dudes shook the pillars of hell with awesome grooves and pure American metal.
Awesome !!! I can hear Phil screaming in the background !!! Hell yeah !!!!
Amazing tone on that bass and youre a damn bad ass player. Thanks for the video man..
Dude thats a sick bass tone. Great video :)
so good 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
I’ve mostly focused on Dime Vin, & Phil depending on the tune but hell yeah this rocks🤘🏼 gives a whole new appreciation for what Rex was doing!
Great playin man ….Rock on 🤘🏼 💯🎶
Congratulations !! You have won best bass tone on TH-cam. Here is your trophy sir 🏆
Jesus, that god damn tone kept giving me eargasms all this video, awesome, man!
This is awesome, really helps me appreciate those bass riffs even more. Pantera fucking rules. Nice playing dude!

5min alone is my favorite video. Watching the stings vibe in slow mo is mesmerizing
I just realized (as a non-Pantera fan) that I don't even know if Rex plays pick or fingers - awesome job with the video, my good man! \m/
Glad Rex started getting some love man, always thought he was super underrated one of the reasons I got into the bass.
Loved the video all of those songs sound so much better with Brown’s bass behind dime.

Mate that was bliss hearing them strings loud!
Splendid work my friend!!!
Abrazo mexicano!!!
Keep it up bro!!!
🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
That tone is fantastic.
Awesome MAN! Awesome!
Sick bro
I was waiting the bass part in the Sleep solo, that Riff is Sick
bland selection of famous singles
Dude..... this put a pause in my breathing. I will be buying a twisted neck bass. Thank you for playing every bass like it's your only one.
Pantera is the band that made me start playing bass.
Nice tone. Like a gnarly jazz bass.
Getcha pull!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That tone is phenomenal.
Had me headbanging the whole time.. good lawd thank you man!
Played this in my car with 2 12s in the back. I suggest everyone hears it this way! Pantera: greatest to ever do it
The bass solo on 5 mins is one of my favs
Cool bass tone! Very punchy like DD Verni from Overkill.
What in the actual hell was this other worldly phenomenon I just heard? Holy shit!
I’m trying to learn some Pantera songs and you made all that look so effortless. When I play it, it sounds like a guy dropped his bass in a pile of elephant dung.
5 minutes alone-my respect👍
Rex didn't even needed to play that good because most of the times we couldn't listen him, but he did. Great guy, Pantera has some hard stuff on bass
Outstanding job
CFH4life
Holy shit dude, that tone is so sick.
Amazing. Now I know what to add to my practice routine 😉
🔥🔥 amazing man, greetings from Mexico.
Can't stop watching!
Del carajo! 🔥🔥🔥
Great tone
super clean, that was awesome.
Снимаю шляпу перед прекрасным музыкантом! Мой брат бас-гитарист и я волей-неволей приучился разбираться в игре на этом инструменте.
What impresses me more you did this without a pick which is something Rex always used.
Agree!!
What's the big deal, really?
@@seansullivan7928 playing with a pick vs fingers brings a lot of different tones and can make certain riffs more difficult to play depending on how they’re written. A big part of Rex’s style was the specific tone he got from playing with a pick.
I remind a rex interview, he was sayin he could play with his fingers too
@@antoinelizambard7509 I think I’ve seen that one, I think he mentioned he likes using a pic because of the tone it gives him
Nice work, and nice bass, too 😍
Sweet to listen too.🌹
Крутяк! Спасибо!
Enjoy watchin you play man. Dead on
You Have A Very Cool Bass
Awesome job there dude! Rex Brown is a fucking beast he should get more credit to metal bass haha
Great sound dude! And picking also!
The best bass riffs from pantera are always at the solo
Dam...your play so effortless....great has always ...the sound is amazing in my car ...👍
Awesome job. Even more impressive to get that tone with no pic.
This sounds amazing.
Pretty good sound and you were in the pocket...even though Rex played with a pick. You got this man!
Very entertaining, awesome content, keep it coming!
Que buen video...muy buena técnica para el bajo
Muy buenos ángulos de cámara
Saludos desde Chile !!!
Glad I was able to see Pantera back in the 90's \m/
Awesome how you play to bass... 🤘🤘👌
Master of the Bass, need one class of You 🧐🍷
So F'ing tight !!!
This was really cool! 🤘
I just found your channel by chance and I honestly don't understand how you don't have WAY more subs than you do. You're an extremely talented player and you have a KILLER tone. You got a quick sub from me my friend.
