- Thanks for watching our first time reaction to Pantera. We ended up checking out Cemetery Gates based on the recent poll, and it did not disappoint. Lex was basically in a trance this entire song. What other songs should we check out from Pantera?

This was my brother's favorite Pantera song. We used to listen to this one together. I lost him to cancer a few years ago as fate would have it. It's a grief song, that reminds me of him every time I hear it, that expresses my own grief at losing him.
I'm sorry that happened to you , I recently lost my brother and I miss him so bad . I'm so sorry you have to feel this
Damn...im sorry brother and may he rest in peace 🙏🏼💪🏽
So sorry, man. I understand.
Rest his soul souds like he had good taste in music
So sorry for your loss
Lex is such metalhead that noone can prove otherwise. :D (The part when she explains that the music took over and she just couldn't listen to lyrics....100% true)
I've noticed this as well. She def rocks out...metalhead all the way!
I love Lex! Her appreciation of music is so pure.
She like slaughter to prevail, shes def a metalhead
The way she smiled when DD starts his magic was beautiful. She feels it in her soul.
When she said that I couldn't wait for the guitar solo to come.
I still get goosebumps every time I hear Phil and Dime trading off the high notes at the end.
Oh she's totally diggin' Dime's masterpieces. I see a metalhead in the making 🤘
She's reacting. He isn't.
She is already there.
She’s wrong about Phill as a great singer. He was a great fit for the band though
didnt dime die before this song was made? thought i heard that somewhere
@@drgreenthumnb Nah, Dime died in 2004. Cowboys from Hell, the album this song is on, was released in 1990.
“Hollow”, “walk” , and “five minutes alone” are really good songs to check out by pantera also.
"Cowboys from hell" FTW! Especially live from Ozzfest
Need to venture to at least one song per album. Lots of choices.
Walk
And also Cowboys from Hell by Pantera
These are all great! Floods is extremely underrated, too. man I miss Dime
"to be honest, I haven't listened to the words, I'm jamming to the music" - she's awesome
I have been a metalhead for over 25 years and I also get so absorbed by the music, the talent, the feeling I also struggle to follow the lyrics too. Many people 'hear' metal and think it's all noise... if you actually 'listen' to the music it is far deeper in all aspects to many other genres you can appreciate it in so many ways. Lex, I appreciate that you appreciate the structure and depth like you do. Thanks!
I love the way that she processes music! You can see her getting affected by all the changes and the way she described the speckles of color dancing around the main melody! She has art in her heart fr
And he's just like "Wurt... Wurt's going in? Is sumpin' happ'nen?"
You also appear to a poet and didn’t even know it
“She’s got art in her heart”
Both Dimebag's band Pantera, and his brothers band Hell Yeah focused heavily on dealing with loss. Unfortunately, both men gone way too soon themselves. Adds a whole other level to both bands music.
Their other band "Damageplan" was also fantastic!
@@shanemckenna392 Absolutely
Both Dime and Vince were in Pantera.
@@benwoodruff6568 yeah, I worded that all wrong
A New Level of sadness.
Dimebag is one of the greatest guitar players in history. So sad he got taken way before his time.
One of?
One of the coolest riffs in history and this man sits there like he’s watching a documentary about penguins
This girl can't hide it! This is how a true metal head reacts to Pantera.
Lex is feeling the chills in the right moments!... She has a good hearing!!
You’ll love their song “floods”. Raw lyrics and master guitar riffs.
Floods is one of my favourites.
The only Pantera CD I had for a LONG time was Great Southern Trendkill.
You guys are my new best friends. You finally did Pantera. Dimebag Darrell was the greatest metal guitarist period. Rest in peace Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott and Vinny Paul Abbott AKA the Abbott brothers.
As soon as Lex started talking about the way the music makes her feel, I knew the end of the song was going to be goosebump city for her
That is one of the guitar gods Dimebag Darrell. Now to see more of his guitar playing skills I like “5 minutes alone” I personally like the video it shows him playing a bit.
While I may be A tad biased, I would never say ONE OF. And no offense meant by this. I would only say "This is THE guitar god.
@@Tylerdoesit no offense taken brotha. I could say the samething. But I also do think Stevie Ray Vaughan was very good as well. DBD is definitely in my top 3
@@navajofisher7389 I was going to say the same thing. SRV can't really be touched. Other guitar legends were amazed by his flow.
@@Tylerdoesit There is no such thing as one best at anything, especially in music. But Dimebag is certainly up there for most people.
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy he's certainly the best in my eyes
Lex closing her eyes getting lost in the music is awesome! Lol enjoy
I love the way they establish this song as a conversation. The lyrics position it as a conversation between the vocals and a reverend, but the song is designed to be a back and forth conversation between vocals and lead guitar. It's amazing.
These guys are legends. They have influenced many many bands.
Very tragic death for the genius guitar player, DIMEBAG DARREL
Love it! You gotta do “ This Love “ by Pantera! - Edit- not the radio/video edit! It leaves one of the best parts of the song out!
Please.
Thats one of my favorite songs by them!
GREAT song
Not the video/radio edit though!
💯
RIP Dime and Vinnie.
Also, definitely watch the song “Domination” live in Moscow.
One of the best solos ever!
They have done this one already.
@@terryosborne272 4 weeks ago when I commented this, they hadn’t.
I love how Lex was really feeling this one. The song is such a classic.
I love this reaction simply because you listened to the whole song! So many reactions leave off the beginning! She seems to just be jamming out and he is intensely listening to the lyrics and wanting to know what the song is about...Perfect symetry you two, great job. I really loved this...no fake reactions here.
it's because they do the official video that doesn't have that part.
Also you should know that the guitarists Dimebag was SHOT on stage and killed.
The best guitarist ever! RIP
Pantera is such a sad tale, but sooooo talented and good.
That’s something that happens in the rap world. In metal, musicians die from overdoses or horrific accidents but not from getting shot. And there’s a conspiracy that phill (the singer) wanted dimebag and his brother (drummer) dead. The shooter tried to go for the drummer to but wasn’t able to get him.
Whattt 🤯👀 why? How could someone do that?
Rip
To me it feels like they are talking about the need to allow yourself to grieve so that you can move on. The lyric's about not crying when she died and then the need to reverse their life and not live in the past, passing the cemetery gates feels like a metaphor for finally moving on with life.
Dime will always live on in the metal community's hearts. One of the best guitarist that ever lived and taken way too soon
9:46 when he hits that first high scream, and I watch Lex go *exactly* where I go when I hear old Pantera. ❤️💜 man, I love you guys. Thanks for doing this, and thanks for making sure you used the whole song.
So the few times I've seen these two, I see the dude as someone who can appreciate the metal, but the chick seems to feel it. She's got metal in her soul.
This song is proof you can do metal with emotion and have it still go hard. Makes me sad that darryl and vinnie are both dead we will never get to hear anything new from pantera ever again.
Love you guys! And I love at the end how Phil is screaming and Dime mirroring his scream with his guitar. Nothing quite like it. More Pantera!
I remember hearing Phil say that this was the fans' favorite song. It's always been one that I have to immerse myself in when hearing it.
As a side note, I also think that Lex is a metal head!
i truly enjoy watching you two. Lex gets so into the music that has fed my soul thank you now how about some Megadeth Cant wait to see you two go down that rabbit hole
Pantera playing Domination live in Moscow...its gotta happen!!
Nothing special with that one, Everybody allways wankin' bout that shit 😂
I feel like Brad only hears in Hip Hop, but Lex hears everything
You need to react to "I'm Broken" by Pantera. Its got a really heavy/groovy type riff.
Pantera was amazing!!! They were just as good live too. Saw them 7 times in concert. Love seeing Lex vibing to the guitar!!! Dimebag Darrell (lead guitarist) was a guitar god!!
It's about how the loss of someone influential in your life can send you down a negative spiraling path in which there seems to be no return, and the regret of letting them down through your selfish ways of coping with it... At least that's what I always got out of it. One of the best songs ever written.
That was an incredible explanation. Such a powerful message
@@brentgreen468 we all have our own way of interpreting music. Phil probably didn't mean it when he wrote it - it's what I always got out of it.
🎯
Great reaction, welcome to groove metal 🤘 Been listening to Pantera since they started and I still get goosebumps from this song. It's one of the many songs that have helped me through some pretty dark times in my life.
The way music of any kind from these yesteryears makes you feel…my goodness.
We need it back. ASAP!
I'm with you Lex, most of metal is me just loving the sound. As for Pantera concerts, you would have loved them. They were very wild, I went to many many of them, never got old. Those were back in the good ol days when I could still mosh pit. Never been in mosh pits crazier than at Pantera concerts.
True story!!!
It. Sounds weird to say it now, but a Pantera concert was a pure release of energy and adrenaline for 2 hours.
I saw them in the early '90's on Vulgar Display Tour & it was INSANITY! Literally the roughest mosh pit I'd ever been in.
Phil had that circle shaved in the back of his head with the long pony tail & he pulled some guy up on stage who had the same haircut. They were both moshing around & you could tell dude knew the song so Phil just handed him the mic & he starts singing the rest of the song.... he 'looked' AND 'sounded' JUST LIKE PHIL. At the end Phil grabbed another Mike & they 'dueted" it out. WhATT?!!
In the pit random people kept flying literally 15-20 feet in the air. I moved toward the front & slammed into this 7 foot UNIT of a skin head! He looked at me & in a growling voice goes, "You wanna go UP?" He clasped his hands together & goes, "Come on!" I put my foot in & dude launched me higher than I've ever been tossed in my life!! It wasn't until I came back down on that crowd that I remembered I wore cowboy boots to the concert... I still feel bad for whoever I caught with those boots. 👢 👢 Man that had to hurt. What a great concert!!
Dude! Your girl knows what’s up! Love that she’s so into the guitar work! Dimebag is the GOAT!!! Lex is totally feeling this shit!! 👍😁
Bro im still sad. Its still gets to me he is gone. GOAT. Never will be anyone to fill that mans shoes. Dime just covers all the right areas for guitar for me. Straight up inspired me as a guitar player. Long time fan. Im 46 now and remember when they first hit the metal scene.
@@Herringboner every time I hear his solos… I don’t know if I’m tearing up because I’m sad that he is gone or happy because of how amazing it is, but I feel them so much more. He poured his soul through that guitar man
Every appreciates the vocalist and the guitarist but the bassist is equally skilled here. The transitions are heavenly.
Never feel bad for getting lost in Phil's voice and Dimebag's licks. That's just appreciating their raw talent. Seeing them live was a amazing
You 2 must check out Suicidal Tendencies "Can't Bring Me Down" if you like background guitar work. Gotta watch the official video to see the madness that is ST.
omg so much yes !! ST was incredible. the world needs that video lol
ROCKY of ST one of the most underrated guitarists in metal. He is great!
Omg I loved ST and that whole 90's skater music scene
Yes!!!!ST next!!😃try How Will I Laugh Tomorrow by Suicidal...and listen to both the music AND the lyrics!!! They are my favorite group from when I was in Jr High,and still one of my favorites today!! You will love them!!!😃✌
The lyrics are important that's how the emotions and the feelings are through the music. It tells a story and and the music reflects the emotions.
"Hollow" an emotional rollercoaster that can bring a tear to your eye as your headbanging!
I think this song speaks to a typical male experience with grief. The line of letting yourself cry and sparing yourself some pain is a very helpful thing for the male grieving experience.
Some people get that deep, emotional connection with the music and lyrics but can't explain it. You may not be able to recite the lyrics but you have like an emotional bond to the song. To me, metal is that emotional feeling for the grief that I have had in my life
For some people verbal expression can be difficult. Its hard for me to put the right words in the right order to describe how I feel. But my soul knows, I can use music to express my feelings or mood, and its like the most perfectly fit puzzle piece sliding into place.
My god Lex is so dam cute, beautiful smile.
She's a gorgeous woman.
There's a superstition in Texas (it could just be local to the area where the Abbott brothers are from) that says that you should always lock you car doors when driving past the cemetary gates or the spirits could hitch a ride in order to escape. That's why he's singing "I will unlock my door and pass the cemetary gates" because he wants her spirit to come with him.
I was lucky enough to meet and hang out with Pantera. Both the Drummer Vinny Paul and the guitarist Dimebag have passed away unfortunately. They were both great guys. RIP Abbott Brothers.
My take on the song is that passing the cemetery gates is a metaphor for leaving his grief behind. When his wife died and she lay to rest he continued to live at her side stuck in a state of grief or living in the past.
This song is SO haunting! Glad y’all watched the lyrics but you should watch it live also!
I had the Great fortune of Seeing the PANTERA 4X IN Colorado USA and they were Absolutely magnificent every time. My all time Favorites. 🌟🌟🌟🌟......😎🤘 R.I.P. ABBOTT BROTHERS 🥁🎸🥁🎸🥁🎸
My dad was killed when I was 18. This song helped to deal with the pain. Very special to me.
One of their best. It's their easiest listening. They generally are a lot heavier band. You should check out their live version of "Yesterday Don't Mean Shit " Lex if you wanna jam and see what they can do, you will absolutely love it!!❤🖤❤🖤❤ watch the live version from Ozzfest !!!
Definitely one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Saw them when the co-headlined with Slayer and also when they supported Black Sabbath.
Brothers reunited once again.R.I.P Dime and Vinnie you're truly missed.
One of my favorite metal bands!! I love the vibe of the channel. Thank you both for taking the time to put these videos out!! Much love from Seattle
Error: "I'm a man *cut in half* in this world, left in my misery."
I have the CD with the liner notes and the lyrics. That ain't the only error. Lyric sites' treatments of songs are either good or a whole joke, no in-between.
Subscribed. Keep with this band. Not only will your subscriber count and view time jump dramatically, but you will be musically enriched. An all time favorite band for a steadily growing number of people.
My personal favorites are "A New Level" and "I'm Broken"
The opening of this song still hits an emotional spot of nostalgia. It’s an amazing ballad.
I love how The guitar speaks to Lex, she feels it in her soul! ♥️👊
that made my eyes water.... I miss Dimebag so much, I remember the exact moment I found out he was killed on stage... one of the greatest tragedies of mankind and biggest losses in heavy metal music.... R.I.P. Dime and Vinny... ;(
Rest in peace Dimebag Darrell. Evey Pantera fan on this planet misses you so much. You were a blessing and a gift that was taken way too soon.
Lead vocalist Phil Anselmo told several stories about the inspiration for the song. He said in an interview in 1991 that the song was about his good friends that had committed suicide.
Though he also stated, that he had a friend who had died in New Orleans and this incident had a heavy impact on a group of his friends.
You guys are hitting all the greats this week. I remember hearing all these songs the first, I'm jealous.
I feel like this is one Lex needs to listen to several times. She focused on the musicianship and not the lyrics. She should totally check out "Key of Geebz" channel.
Yes! I watch his channel as well… they both just get so into the FEELING of the music and not really listen to lyrics right away. :)
You can see it in her face when the solo hits. wow. Thank you.
I really love how she’s digging the masterful guitar riffs. Pantera was top notch, I’m glad I got to see them live 3x.
Suggest Black Label Society, In this River. Great song dedicated to Dimebag Darryl by his best friend Zakk Wylde.
Thank you random internet stranger- never heard of it before. Rough to watch, but a beautiful tribute.
Yes! Such a good song as well!
Thats a great song! Rest easy Dime!🤘
Awesome thanks for sharing your reaction always a good time! “Cowboys from Hell” live from Ozfest is my personal favorite it will have your head banging and body jumpin thanks again!
Yesterday Don't Mean Shit is also from Ozzfest!!! Live!! Do the live Lex!!!!!!
Man, I can tell you guys enjoy this so much. Lex especially, the music really moves her. I love seeing people discover music I love. I hope when my channel gets off the ground I can make it look as natural as you guys do. Thanks for doing this.
You guys should react to some "Skidrow"! Wasted Time, I Remember You, 18 and Life, are good ones to start with.
Next needs to be 5 minutes alone just be warned you’ll feel badass enough to eat a bowl of nails with glass sprinkles after
That song makes me want to throw my trash can through the neighbors picture window!
@@Tylerdoesit never lose that feeling 😂
@@TH-camcanbitemyhairybanger NEVER
The story behind the song is pretty funny too. It went something like the band received a letter from a listeners Dad who was angry at the band for the music they make. In the letter, he said "I wish I could just get 5 minutes alone with you", so they made the song! There's a video somewhere that might explain it better
@@flamezor123 the way Phil Anselmo tells it. There was this kid at a concert being a total ass heckling the band etc so the crowd kicked his ass. Because he’s black he tried to say it was racially motivated hence the line “you use complexion of my skin for a counter racist tool” the letter was from the boys father saying forget the law suit I just want 5 minutes alone with Phil Anselmo. The bands manager replied “no, you really don’t”
And that right there was the best metal guitarist that will ever walk this planet...miss you Dime. X
Drag The Waters! Pantera....the ultimate Groove metal band. Getcha pull son! R.I.P. BIG VIN AND DIME!
6:54 I’m the same way Lex and that a good thing. You’re just feelin’ the music. Later after hearing a song multiple times you’ll start to pick up on the lyrics. But yeah, Metal is more about the feeling then the lyrics.
Exactly
I would love to see y’all react to Sevendust - Denial.
I really think y’all would enjoy it!
Lex, your description of Phil’s singing ability was fucking spot on!!
She loves it! You can literally see it tickle her soul.
I would recommend Hollow or The Sleep next by Pantera
If you thought this was grief, wait until you hear "Hollow"
Grief. Flogging Molly, If I Ever Leave This World Alive. Heart breaking.
You guys are awesome! Keep up the killer reviews!
This was on the Tales from the Cript Demon Knight sound track.
I (Lex) was terrified of that show!! 😂
If you loved this one...then You have to do " Revolution is my Name " and " Mouth For War "
Not shy I'm saying this... Pantera just might be the best band ever to record.
"I will unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates" is a reference to suicide, unlocking your own door to eternity as your body passes through the cemetery gates on it's way to the final resting place. He is suicidal after the loss of a loved one that he just can't get past.
Maybe he's a cemetery care taker and lives on site. So he had to unlock his door and pass the gates to go back in .. .
Nope, in the south it's a custom to lock your doors when passing the cemetery to keep "bad luck/spirits" out and he's saying he'll unlock his doors and let them in, maybe in a literal sense but more probably talking about letting in the sadness and grief he's been shutting out
It wasnt his wife that passes away, he wrote that part in different perspective, if i remember phil said he didnt want it to be to personal cuz it could be "cheesy". Its about 2 of his friends that committed suicide within 2 weeks of eachother. The song is about him dealing with the loss and flirting with the thought of suicide ,
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery Gates
Thats what unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates means.
yep exactly, the "believe the word" is basically like a "trust me I will do it"
Been waiting for this not knowing it came out 9 months ago! But damn I’m still super excited! Keep it up guys!
TY so much for doing the full version of this song! So many people do the vid, and it bypasses the intro that sets the whole song up. You listened to it the right way, and that is rare!!!
And got a subscribe out of it lol
The “You took my youth” line, usually is in connection with sexual abuse. And the line “crucified for no sins” sounds like being punished for not doing anything wrong. The rest of the lyrics seem to fall in place with this idea “I couldn’t cry the pride within my soul”. “I should’ve cried to spare myself some pain” “You left me incomplete” IMO
I went to high school with the lead singer, Phil Anselmo. Back then he was in a band named Razor White (1983-86).
We experienced the suicide of multiple friends in 1985. I never spoke to Phil personally about the close friends we lost, I was closer to the drummer and bass guitarist. 5 close friends for me in that year. I know Phil was very close to 2 of them. After hearing it for the first time, to me it always represented that year for us as a group of friends. Phil was and is an amazing singer, his control and octave range reminds me of Rob Halford of Judas Priest.
Great reaction!!!
@@charlesgaudin1691 Wow man, that’s possibly some insight that millions would appreciate. Thank you, I could ask a billion questions, but no need to put that burden on you. I’m really glad you shared.
Y’all should check out their live version of ‘Domination’ from the same concert y’all reacted to with Metallica in Moscow… it’s redonkulous…:) Dime’s guitar solo is otherworldly in it
Still to this day, I have to fight back tears everytime I hear this song. My wife took her life in 2017.
Great reaction! Thanks for doing this one, ya'll are fun to watch. Keep it up!
Guys you need to hear Sevendust, some old classic songs like "Praise", "Waffle" or "Denial".
The Moscow 1991 performance of their song “Domination” is legendary. Same concert as Metallica 1991 Moscow. Lex will love it the most! Guaranteed ! lol
Pantera, without question, have the most consistently violent mosh pits I’ve ever been in. I’m a bit of a mosh pit connoisseur, for lack of a better way to put it. i’ve never seen a mosh pit I didn’t like. I’ve been to something like 16 or 17 Pantera concerts. Pantera music is straight fire energy. There is plenty of music in this rabbit hole to love!
Your hears were just blessed by the greatest guitarists of all time. Dimebag Darrell. R.I.P.🤘
