Phil writes about pain and anger a lot. And love of friends and family. Metalheads get it. It's an expression of emotion, is all. It fits with the genre because we all experience those emotions. Phil and Dime are good at emoting through lyrics and sounds.
It is my all time favorite metal album. A masterpiece, indeed. The musicianship is obviously top notch, but the production is equally top notch. Just a fantastic album all around. Flawless.
I will pile on, their approach and how they discuss with each other without speaking at us is soooo refreshing!!! Favorite go to for their discussion and their eclectic musical choices.
This song hits me really hard. This song is almost word for word what happened to my best friend. He loved this song. I still go through every emotion at the end of this song. Miss you every day Josh
I always felt the angst of the situation with them going from the grief into the anger translated both in the lyrical content as well as musically. The chromatic descent of the guitar part leading into the heavy riff is the turning point in the emotion
9:07 That was a beautiful interpretation. I really, really liked that. Adapt this song to just vocal/piano would be incredible. Bring even more tears and emotion to the table of this legendary song.
It is the hate for losing a friend in the end. Frustrated on god or how you want to interpret it. So the beginning is more like him thinking back and also dealing with the pain. Great lyrics.
Great reaction guys! This song acually makes me cry sometimes when I listen to it and think of people I've lost who passed away. The more aggresive section and ending is acually the part where I tear up because I know that kind of anger, its not go f yourself type of anger its deep unresolved pain screaming within. They just so happened to let it out instead of keeping the anger of being subjected to such a thing as death within and they opened that wound to let it bleed on this track.
Dime really sings and emotes through his Guitar in this one. [Edit] Whoa, I thought that was a green screen but from the sound it's an actual Auditorium. lmao Add another Piano and set to the list. haha
This song to me is just about the different emotions one may go thru when losing a friend and the realization of that loss…. If that makes any sense. Anger frustration beauty all tied up in one interpretation.. prolly my fav Pantera song!! That’s just me
Hey guys hope you’re having a great day 🙂. That review was excellent! And Judson’s piano version immediately afterwards was absolutely amazing! 😮 I would love to see a full piano version of him covering this song but with his own interpretation or however he would like to do it, just like he did here. It really was incredible I’ve never heard it that way before and I liked it a lot. I actually think Dime and Vinnie would have loved that Judson ! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
"Shedding Skin" would be the great quiet/heavy song to explore next, it's also one of the songs that sticks the most in my head from my fav Pantera album, Far Beyond Driven, and there's 2 guitar solos that do not seem to interfere with the deep cryptic lyrics. An idea for another Slayer song would be "At Dawn They Sleep" or "Divine Intervention", since they are both 2 very long, very well written songs, with a load of build up to them, plus Tom's bass actually is in the mix in At Dawn They Sleep (he would come back later in Diabolus and GHUA). Those would be great songs to present how Slayer could if they wanted be a tech trash band, I'm aware you guys will never say do "Reborn" or "Hate Worldwide" lol. I remember Jetson liking Tom's vocals too, which was neat and surprising. Those are my suggestions for now, I'd have one for Anthrax but I'll wait until later. I'm enjoying this experiment very much!
Yall are such beautiful dorks. Awesome reaction as always. Love your content. Not one of my favorite Pantera songs. Sounds exactly like Metallica to me on just this song. Maybe I'm wrong. Keep it up guys
Love your videos! You guys are the Yin and Yang to music. I would love to see a video on Whitechapel's "Hickory Creek," even to their acoustic version of the song.
Great take! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm not sure why but at around 10m in the sound stopped working so I might have missed something. Metal with inspiring/positive lyrics? Hatebreed. Major scales, positive vibes and full of emotions? Devin Townsend
There's also "We'll Meet Again" from their first album with Phil; it was their father Jerry Abbott's favourite song of theirs apparently and has one of Dime's best solos.
The skill of Dime is a two side coin... technical I guess he was great but the way he can get emotions through the guitar is amazing!!! Cementay Gate is an nice one to listen to...
Good one. How about something right off the wall, I suggest Cattle Decapitation, could be something from Death Atlas, the title song, or Bring Back The Plague. Or Scourge Of The Offspring, from Terrasite. So much to be digested in those songs, the production is stellar, I would love to see what Judson thinks/reaction..I think he can take it!
@@paidguitaryou missed the point of the comment entirely lol. Trout was conveying that Dime sang with his guitar, which he did, and in that respect he was one of the greatest metal “vocalists” of all time.
I like you're reactions😃👍 Keep up the good work👏 Can you guys react to a band called Wardruna feat Aurora with the song Helvegen "live" please!!!! Greetings from Norway🇧🇻
I think he was telling the story of his best friend killing himself… or losing him in general, and still being so close to his friend that he is so close with his mom cause they are naturally close together
This dudes reactions are a snoozefest. Lol. This is what happens when all your music comes from books and theory. The boys didn’t write that way. I’m sure he can play the piano. Read the notes, play the notes. Smdh.
Would you include bands like faith no more and living colour? They changed the trash era to a groove new metal pace . Thanks, super interesting reactions from someone that knows what he's doing
Hi from a French guy in Paris, I've been following you for a while and I'd like to suggest you react to nine inch nail, we're in together. A track that has both power and sweetness ... See you soon
Love these vids man, excellent! A minor critique - I would have switched around left and right microphones if I where u, so confusing when Richard speaks and the voice comes from the right, and vice versa. :)
Sorry about that. We got a new camera that our mics connect directly to and didn’t realize this would happen until after we recorded the videos. Should have it fixed in the future.
I'm glad I found this channel. Such a cool idea to go through metal songs from a classical perspective. For some reason it brought me back to the musical/theater discussions Frasier and his brother Niles would have on the TV show "Frasier". And also your discussion feels very real. Best wishes from Iran.
btw, you in that Suffocation T-shirt, what is your friend playing at the intro, is that Debussy? "Clair de lune"? I, as an old metalhead, confirm this. 🤘 And he claims that metal and classical music have more in common than one might think. ❤ sorry, I wrote before listening to your video 😛
It's sad at first, he talks to the mom and misses his friend. When he's angry at god and feeling anger, it gets aggressive. Just seems like a natural progression of grieving.
Did Mr. J somehow miss the whole point of the song going from the feeling of grief to the total feeling of anger!? Hence the music became heavy to match the emotion of the lyrics.. 🤔
I think "the sleep" would be super cool to look at, Ive always found it to be a stand out in Cowboys from Hell and the solo is just incredible.
Yes, The Sleep! Definitely. Also 10's is kinda a mellower song if they are going through those
Great idea 👍
One of my favorite Dime solos, for sure. The Sleep is a perfect song.
I concur with all of the above.
Agreed
That interpretation immediately after the song was AMAZING!!! Really mind blowing 🤯
Well done Mr. J🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻
Phil writes about pain and anger a lot. And love of friends and family. Metalheads get it. It's an expression of emotion, is all. It fits with the genre because we all experience those emotions. Phil and Dime are good at emoting through lyrics and sounds.
Yes!! Beautifully put. They poured their hearts out in everything they did. Pantera got me through some really rough times. They still do.
True. This was always one of my favourite songs by them because of its emotion and crationdo of rage towards the end.
Definitely emoting on the want to beat the 💩 outta one particular piece of 💩...😂
@@mattadoan-6436 Rage is an emotion. Coming across loud n clear. 😀
This whole album is their masterpiece in my opinion, all killer, no filler.
Probably, but Cowboys from Hells fights hard for that spot.
Vulgar Display of Power is the crunchiest album ever made ill stand on that to my grave
@@hidralyskxtremoSCVulgar is better
It's their master of puppets and rust in peace sort of album..
It is my all time favorite metal album. A masterpiece, indeed. The musicianship is obviously top notch, but the production is equally top notch. Just a fantastic album all around. Flawless.
I don’t comment often but you two are so authentic… I love how real and heartfelt you two are.
Couldn't say it any better myself. It's the main reason why I watch them.
I will pile on, their approach and how they discuss with each other without speaking at us is soooo refreshing!!! Favorite go to for their discussion and their eclectic musical choices.
Agreed so autistic it is cool somehow.
You should comment more often, I love how real and heartfelt you are good sir
My mans sounds looks and sounds a lot like Link from Good Mythical Morning lol similar vibe as well.
This song hits me really hard. This song is almost word for word what happened to my best friend. He loved this song. I still go through every emotion at the end of this song. Miss you every day Josh
Metal is ALL about emotion. There are plenty of "positive" metal songs. Just as many as "dark" songs, in fact.
A New Level from the same album is a motivational song about not giving up.
I always felt the angst of the situation with them going from the grief into the anger translated both in the lyrical content as well as musically. The chromatic descent of the guitar part leading into the heavy riff is the turning point in the emotion
Would love to see Judson's renditions of these songs. He has a unique ability to feel the music and carry that same energy while he plays. 👍
Ah, finally someone reacts to something else other than Cemetary Gates
Vinni was such a good drummer.
9:07 That was a beautiful interpretation. I really, really liked that. Adapt this song to just vocal/piano would be incredible. Bring even more tears and emotion to the table of this legendary song.
That piece you played on the piano after the song ended, was so good.
It is the hate for losing a friend in the end. Frustrated on god or how you want to interpret it. So the beginning is more like him thinking back and also dealing with the pain. Great lyrics.
Great reaction guys! This song acually makes me cry sometimes when I listen to it and think of people I've lost who passed away.

Dime really sings and emotes through his Guitar in this one.
[Edit] Whoa, I thought that was a green screen but from the sound it's an actual Auditorium. lmao Add another Piano and set to the list. haha
Dimebag is the reason i picked up a guitar. And Kurt. But Dime man, there will never be another like him. RIP.
This song to me is just about the different emotions one may go thru when losing a friend and the realization of that loss…. If that makes any sense. Anger frustration beauty all tied up in one interpretation.. prolly my fav Pantera song!! That’s just me

When that heavy riff drops I get that killer riff face 😠
Your piano interpretation was on point.
Loved it!
I can’t wait for the punch in the face. lol!
😂
Glad your boy Judson found it interesting, and he's definitely ready for the likes of Rise and Fudging Hostile. The journey continues
Love your videos! You guys are the Yin and Yang to music. I would love to see a video on Whitechapel's "Hickory Creek," even to their acoustic version of the song.
The sadness that this song brings is overwhelming
Great take! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm not sure why but at around 10m in the sound stopped working so I might have missed something.
Metal with inspiring/positive lyrics? Hatebreed. Major scales, positive vibes and full of emotions? Devin Townsend
Tornado of Souls is a must
100
"He comes from France" lmao. Many will not get the reference but I did and I loved it Judson🤣
The piano Jam is on point.
Please react Archspire Drain of incarnation
Big hugs from Brasil.
There's also "We'll Meet Again" from their first album with Phil; it was their father Jerry Abbott's favourite song of theirs apparently and has one of Dime's best solos.
The skill of Dime is a two side coin... technical I guess he was great but the way he can get emotions through the guitar is amazing!!! Cementay Gate is an nice one to listen to...
Make him Listen to Dream Theater’s Erotomania
We need more Metallica and Megadeth, maybe throw in GnR, Velvet Revolver and Slash as well, awesome channel
Yes, please do a cover of this on piano 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’m trying to make it happen. 🤘🤞
I forgot about this really, I really should revisit this quality album.
Good one. How about something right off the wall, I suggest Cattle Decapitation, could be something from Death Atlas, the title song, or Bring Back The Plague. Or Scourge Of The Offspring, from Terrasite. So much to be digested in those songs, the production is stellar, I would love to see what Judson thinks/reaction..I think he can take it!
I like this setting. Looks a lot more professional than the previous filing area. You guys should film here more often!
Dimebag is one of the greatest metal vocalists of all time...just happened to wail with his guitars. Love this song ❤
Dimebag is the guitar player fyi.
Phil Anselmo is the singer.
And, yes, he is one of the best metal vocalist in the history of Metal.
@@paidguitaryou missed the point of the comment entirely lol. Trout was conveying that Dime sang with his guitar, which he did, and in that respect he was one of the greatest metal “vocalists” of all time.
My bad! Totally missed it.
I like you're reactions😃👍 Keep up the good work👏 Can you guys react to a band called Wardruna feat Aurora with the song Helvegen "live" please!!!! Greetings from Norway🇧🇻
Big improvement on the audio! Much better :)
Good to hear! Thanks!
I wanna see him react to porcupine tree, great content.
Nice video. it's been a long time since I last listened this song. I'm getting old.
Dude was dying to hit the keys listening to Dimes harmonies lol
I think he was telling the story of his best friend killing himself… or losing him in general, and still being so close to his friend that he is so close with his mom cause they are naturally close together
I really love your piano interpretation of "Hollow". It would be great to hear what could be done with the entire song. (Hint, hint. :) )
Have him listen to Within The Ruins - Tractor Pull or Conducting from the Grave - From Ruin we rise or When Legends Become Dust
I think it matches perfectly , you start off sad then you’re angry that’s usually how it goes 🙆♂️
This dudes reactions are a snoozefest. Lol. This is what happens when all your music comes from books and theory. The boys didn’t write that way. I’m sure he can play the piano. Read the notes, play the notes. Smdh.
I understand what Judson meant but it had to have the heavy elements or fans would’ve ate em alive. You guys are fun. Love it.
The, mother fucking, Suffocation!
Would you include bands like faith no more and living colour? They changed the trash era to a groove new metal pace . Thanks, super interesting reactions from someone that knows what he's doing
This is the first time someone had a go at pantera song that wasn't the mainstream like walk or domination...
Well done to the difference
I love how Judsong has evolved and become such a respectful gentleman and a metal boy scout in recent videos
What about 10's?
It just has THE GREATEST SOLO OF ALL TIME, no big deal...
Hi from a French guy in Paris, I've been following you for a while and I'd like to suggest you react to nine inch nail, we're in together. A track that has both power and sweetness ... See you soon
Love this! NIN is definitely one I wanna react to! Merci pour votre commentaire et votre attention!
Great cant wait for it @@judsong
Would love to see reaction to "This Love" one of Panteras greatest imho.
Love these videos! And Clair De Lune is also a personal favorite!
you have to get him to listen to 'Testament', any of their three ballads.
Planet caravan next …… yesss 👏
Richard with the based suffocation shirt
Pain is dark.
My favorite Pantera album
You really must do a reaction to some of Wintersuns songs.
Love these vids man, excellent! A minor critique - I would have switched around left and right microphones if I where u, so confusing when Richard speaks and the voice comes from the right, and vice versa. :)
Sorry about that. We got a new camera that our mics connect directly to and didn’t realize this would happen until after we recorded the videos. Should have it fixed in the future.
if you have done this song, you need to do "By Demons Be Driven"
I love your videos. From Brazil !
My favorite Pantera song!!
Wow, that "friend" does not want to be there...
My my... that piano was beautiful.... wow
Suffocation shirt... Black Dahlia shirt. My music. You listen to Slaughter to prevail.? Or Lorna Shore.
Yes… We did a reaction to Sun//Eater this past weekend. Going to get it uploaded in the near future. 🤘
Sweet.
Please invert right and left between Judson and Richard !! Thanks Saludos
Great!!! Thx
Next...Sonata Arctica "Last Amazing Grace " please
BEST tiny wee partial intro ever, love Debussy Clair de Lune 🎶👂 🤍🏴✌️ Raine
I'm glad I found this channel. Such a cool idea to go through metal songs from a classical perspective. For some reason it brought me back to the musical/theater discussions Frasier and his brother Niles would have on the TV show "Frasier".

The Sleep!

And he claims that metal and classical music have more in common than one might think. ❤
sorry, I wrote before listening to your video 😛
U could also check Alice In Chains - Nutshell (MTV Unplugged ) think He like it
This song and Cemetery Gates are both loosely about Phil's friend who killed himself at the age of 17.
Did u do "this love" already?
Not yet
It's sad at first, he talks to the mom and misses his friend. When he's angry at god and feeling anger, it gets aggressive.
Just seems like a natural progression of grieving.
Somebody needs to change the lightbulb in the background
Did Mr. J somehow miss the whole point of the song going from the feeling of grief to the total feeling of anger!?
Hence the music became heavy to match the emotion of the lyrics.. 🤔
This was a great video, thanks guys. Cemetery Gates would be an excellent follow up!
Did anyone else notice the voices were coming from the wrong side. Left guy was coming thru left ear right guy came thru left ear
Half measures availed us nothing. I really like this channel. Thanks for your work.
he needs to listen to by demons be driven or slaughtered. Still great reaction. I could also listen to him play piano all day.
Water In My Wine by Dirt Miller is amazing!!! @Great Measures
What was the 2nd piano piece that was played, it sounded amazing!
do Towers Dead End by Children Of Bodom
Metal Heads have feelings too Judson. lol
😂😂
@@Greatmeasures look how ahead of the game Pantera was about dudes talking about their feelings. They started the ball rolling. Lol
@@TinkMcGathy the OG emo band. 😂
Todos los pubis juntos of Charly García
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘😉🤘 Like your reactions way to much.
This is one of the more (if not the most) slept on songs of their catalog & definitely the album.
Should react to there version of planet caravan
You GOTTA do "Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills" before you do the heavy shit...
Judson's rendition should be interesting!😂
Id love to see him react to a Car Bomb song.
You’re wearing a suffocation shirt. Suffocation reaction?
It might melt his brain. 😂
Great show Great Measures 💥👊
