the Outro to Floods is bar none the most chilling part of anything he has ever done. I still get chills when I hear it, and Ive owned GSTK since it came out.
Happy birthday Smokey! Btw, that Pantera news is about a Pantera reunion tour. On a side note, I'm glad you guys did the studio version of this song because the music video cuts out the best part of the song!
Love Pantera to death. They've been my favorite Heavy Metal band since I first heard them back in 1990 shortly after Cowboys From Hell was released. Had the pleasure of seeing them live 6 times in Philly and Jersey. Also have one of Dimebag's guitar picks that he threw out to the crowd. It's a black pick with his face on one side and signature on the other side. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMOKEY!
🥁🎸🎶🎸🥁 No. More. Head. Trip. 🤘🏻 Vulgar Display Of Power is permanently in my top 10 albums. "F*cking Hostile" is next on my list. Thanks for rocking with me this morning. P.L.U.R.R. from ATX!
Pantera basically invented "the breakdown" there are maybe 1 or 2 other examples of something similar prior to them but personally I would credit them with the invention of the technique. A lot of what your hearing in Dimes playing that sounds like "other instruments" is a digitech whammy pedal and/or his ability to pull what's called harmonics and bend them up or down. Harmonics is where you lightly touch a place on the string that creates a high pitched tone then you can use the whammy bar to bend that tone up or down.
PanterA invented the breakdown. Get the fuck out... Agnostic Front, Madball, Biohazard, Prong, all did that in the mid - late 80,s but ok. There are billions of hardcore bands who did it way before and from the 70's also. Vulgar Display Of Power and Super Joint Ritual are the only music Phil has ever created like that but nowhere near first or being the investors of it. Freddy Cricien of Madball was doing breakdowns with Agnostic Front when he was 8 years old.
This came out when I was coming up on 14. Blew my mind entirely one night sitting watching Headbanger's Ball on MTV at midnight or 1am. Went out and bought this album and Cowboys From Hell at the mall that week. Hits so damned hard that it surprised the hell outta me when they came back in 94 with Far Beyond Driven, and it was even heavier. Ayy happy birthyness sir.
Phil channeling his inner Layne Staley in this one. Love this tune! You guys should react to Geezer - "Seance Fiction" or "The Invisible." It's a band started by Geezer Butler, who was the bassist of Black Sabbath, with Burton Bell from Fear Factory on vocals. The first album is fucking brilliant and almost no one knows about them. Thank you Mortal Kombat soundtrack for introducing me to them back in the 90's!
I saw them with Slayer, Static-X, Morbid Angel and Skrape when they were touring for Reinventing the Steel. Best concert I ever saw. I think my second fave was watching HellYeah open for, and steal the entire show from Korn. Those are the only 2 times I got to see Vinnie live. :(
*There's a Pantera reunion tour coming up. It will be Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown who are the 2 surviving members of Pantera. On guitar will be Zakk Wylde and on drums will be Charlie Benante. Charlie was the drummer for Anthrax. On a different note, Happy Birthday!!* 🧁🍰😘
One of my Pantera faves!! This was a KILLER song live. Hopefully you guys will get to check them out on their reunion with Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante.
Nah, this isn't grunge. This is one of Pantera's ballads, same as "Cemetery Gates". You guys should check out "The Sleep" next time, the riffs are tasty and it's got one of Dime's greatest solos (if not, THE greatest). I know you guys will love that song, great reaction guys! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
There's definitely some Grunge influence here, but that's mostly from the Alternative Metal side of the song. Alternative Metal and Grunge went hand in hand in the early 90s. Both were based off of Alternative Rock and Metal. Grunge leaned more in the Alternative and Punk side, while Alternative Metal was of course more in the Metal direction.
Yeah ofc it's kind of grungy. That guitar effect alone....it wouldn't have sounded like this without "Come as you are" which was released only months earlier. 100%.
this song is literally THE song that got me into real Metal back when it first came out. well, this song, then afterwards, the rest of this album, and Master of Puppets were what really stole me from my hair metal and heavy rock beginnings and got me into the really heavy stuff.
Agreed. Dimes greatest solos. Whenever I introduce anyone to PanterA over the last 3 decades, I go right for The Sleep. Some of the sickest guitar work in metal period.
Happy birthday Smokey, thanks for all of the great content. You guys are easily one of the best reaction channels out there! Could I ask for you to react to 'The Sleep' as your next Pantera reaction. It really shows the best of Dimebag's soloing ability.
Happy birthday Smokey! “How many balls…” “Two!” 🤣 Great song choice! I think Hollywood was thinking of the Maroon 5 song. Very different LOL. Pantera is “reuniting” with some different people filling in. By the way, The Blues Brothers is a hilarious movie. I think you guys would love it.
Hell yeah. This is a banger. ,. Soft and hard at the same time. ,love you guys. Can't wait till y'all get that 100k subs, I wanna see that TH-cam plaque. Hanging behind yall
Happy birthday Smokey, great track, there are so many amazing Pantera songs out there, just go through vulgar display of power album you won’t be sorry Keep on rocking guys 🤟🤟🤟
oh my ....I wanted to recommended this song yesterday that's because I'd been listen that. now you just put it in your react. unbelievable. wowwwww. thank you. thank you 👍😉👑🤘💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍 happy birthday mr smokey🎂🎂🎂
I saw Pantera live in St. Louis a week or two ago. When they got to the chorus bit of this song I couldn’t help but yell “this love” as loud as I possibly could. Pantera forever🤘
Just too cool! Don't know what year Smokey was born, you share this day with the release of the iconic AC/DC release of "Back In Black"!! The first album with the new lead singer Brian Johnson in 1980. Oh, Happy BDay Smokey!! Hope it's an awesome one!
Happy bday to Smokey ha! N the pantera news, I’m sure one said it already. They are doing a reunion/tribute thing! I’m excited as hell! To see these songs and hear em live again will be amazing. Obviously the Abbot brothers aren’t there, but it’s gonna be a great celebration to honor Vinnie and a Dime. They have anthrax drummer and Zakk Wylde from ozzy and own band Black label. Zakk was one dimes close music friends and he in my opinion is a no brainer to play guitar. Shows coming next year I hear.
God Pantera will NEVER get old for me. I'll be 80 in a rest home and STILL blast them into my ears. Anyways, yes it's me again 😁. Ya'll ready to react to S.U.I.T (So Us Is This) by Blindspott yet? I'm gonna keep asking till yous do react to it or get annoyed with me (sorry in advance) lol. I'm just a proud kiwi tryna get a great great nz band out there to a new audience. And I'm surd you guys will dig them and their music. Thank you 😁🤘 And a massive metal happy birthday Smokey. Another day younger 👌 lol
There's a reason Pantera aren't part of a hypothetical "Big 5" is that the "Big 4" are the big 4 of thrash metal. Pantera aren't thrash, they're groove metal. This is their best album though, no question. And a happy birthday to Smokey too.
The last notes are a bridge towards next song, "Rise", another banger. Not as connected as Suicide Note pt 1 and pt 2, but still they mix very well. Happy birthday Smokey!
Good one... You try "WAKE UP" by Hed PE... And the trash talkers need to react to more Pantera. I'd love for them to react to PRONG. Such an underrated band. They should have been headliners.
YES! This channel needs more Pantera!! …nothing personal, every channel needs more Pantera 🤪 best metal band ever
Facts
Goats, cause they never sold out!
Every channel needs more Pantera.
PUCKING HOSTILE
No one is better than dimebag Darrell! I was lucky enough to see them twice in concert here in Dallas.
That outro solo has to be one of the most haunting solos of Dime's IMHO - it rips hard.
the Outro to Floods is bar none the most chilling part of anything he has ever done. I still get chills when I hear it, and Ive owned GSTK since it came out.
didn't think that I will see anyone else appreciating the outro ... Dime was a different breed
Happy birthday Smokey! Btw, that Pantera news is about a Pantera reunion tour. On a side note, I'm glad you guys did the studio version of this song because the music video cuts out the best part of the song!
to clear it up,it is tribute,not reunion,for snowflakes to not get offended.
Love Pantera to death. They've been my favorite Heavy Metal band since I first heard them back in 1990 shortly after Cowboys From Hell was released. Had the pleasure of seeing them live 6 times in Philly and Jersey. Also have one of Dimebag's guitar picks that he threw out to the crowd. It's a black pick with his face on one side and signature on the other side. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMOKEY!
This song tends to fly under the radar, but it represents the raw talent and power of prime Pantera. Thanks for taking me back.

metallica had some great breakdowns/riffs in the 80s tho. megadeth too, especially sweating bullets which was out in 91
This came out when I was coming up on 14. Blew my mind entirely one night sitting watching Headbanger's Ball on MTV at midnight or 1am. Went out and bought this album and Cowboys From Hell at the mall that week. Hits so damned hard that it surprised the hell outta me when they came back in 94 with Far Beyond Driven, and it was even heavier.
Ayy happy birthyness sir.
Happy Birthday Smokey 🥳🎉
Saw them in 94 with Sepultura and Prong. They were on Far Beyond Driven and Sepultura was on Chaos AD \m/
Amazing❤
saw that show at the San Jose Civic, my 1st metal concert. changed me forever🤘
Thank you so much for doing the full version!!! So many people do the edited one - but you boys killed it \m/
My birthday today too .....cheeers bro !!!!1 Nuthin better then a kick ass Pantera song to celebrate ;)
HBD SMOKE!! Can't go wrong with any Pantera song. They always slay every track.
Phil channeling his inner Layne Staley in this one. Love this tune!
You guys should react to Geezer - "Seance Fiction" or "The Invisible." It's a band started by Geezer Butler, who was the bassist of Black Sabbath, with Burton Bell from Fear Factory on vocals.

Happy Birthday Smokey! 🤗🤘🤘 This is one of Pantera’s best. You need to do Mouth for War next.
This band was so awesome live. My fav time was when saw them with Type O Negative opening
I saw them with Slayer, Static-X, Morbid Angel and Skrape when they were touring for Reinventing the Steel. Best concert I ever saw. I think my second fave was watching HellYeah open for, and steal the entire show from Korn. Those are the only 2 times I got to see Vinnie live. :(
I didn't see type o negative open up for Pantera but I did see phil come on stage with type o negative to sing Kill all the white people.
*There's a Pantera reunion tour coming up. It will be Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown who are the 2 surviving members of Pantera. On guitar will be Zakk Wylde and on drums will be Charlie Benante. Charlie was the drummer for Anthrax. On a different note, Happy Birthday!!* 🧁🍰😘
That sounds awesome, charlie the beat ,the beat ,the beat you beat
@@jasonduvall6565 I"m the man! I'm so bad I should be in detention... lol yesssss 🔥
Rumor says Suicidal Tendencies is on the tour too!!
Pantera could never reunite, but that's a pretty cool tribute tour.
Zakk and Charlie! That sounds awesome! Obviously will not be the same as original line up but can’t wait to hear it!
You can’t not frigging move with that groove from Pantera, man!
Happy Birthday Sir Smokey! Cheers from Portugal!
Finally someone reacted not a shorted for some stupid resons version. HB, Smokey.
One of my Pantera faves!! This was a KILLER song live. Hopefully you guys will get to check them out on their reunion with Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante.
meh
Happy Birthday Smokey. I didn't realize that I liked this song for years until TH-cam came out.
Nah, this isn't grunge. This is one of Pantera's ballads, same as "Cemetery Gates". You guys should check out "The Sleep" next time, the riffs are tasty and it's got one of Dime's greatest solos (if not, THE greatest). I know you guys will love that song, great reaction guys! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
Definitely the best! That solo is a tearjerker, man. Psycho Holiday's solo is pretty damn gnarly, too though.
There's definitely some Grunge influence here, but that's mostly from the Alternative Metal side of the song. Alternative Metal and Grunge went hand in hand in the early 90s. Both were based off of Alternative Rock and Metal. Grunge leaned more in the Alternative and Punk side, while Alternative Metal was of course more in the Metal direction.
Yeah ofc it's kind of grungy. That guitar effect alone....it wouldn't have sounded like this without "Come as you are" which was released only months earlier. 100%.
Hollow also
grnnge please.pantera paved the way for metal
this song is literally THE song that got me into real Metal back when it first came out. well, this song, then afterwards, the rest of this album, and Master of Puppets were what really stole me from my hair metal and heavy rock beginnings and got me into the really heavy stuff.
PLEASE can you make your next reaction Pantera also, the track “The Sleep” it’s got arguably the best solo Dime did, it’s amazing!!! Kudos from 🇬🇧
I just recommend "The Sleep" as well, great minds think alike lol.
The sleep used to be my least favorite track off of Cowboys from hell but has become a sleeper 😉 no pun intended 😂
Agreed. Dimes greatest solos. Whenever I introduce anyone to PanterA over the last 3 decades, I go right for The Sleep. Some of the sickest guitar work in metal period.
I agree. Dimebag went off on that track
The sleep is glorious, one of their best songs and def one of Dime’s best solos
Morning fellas! Oh hell ya! Love Pantera! Gotta do more Pantera for sure! Thanks guys!🤓❤️😁
Happy birthday Smokey ! Great reaction guys 🤟
OMG Finally. Hands down my fav Pantera song. Thanks guys. Happy Bday Smokey!

Happy birthday Smokey! “How many balls…” “Two!” 🤣
Great song choice! I think Hollywood was thinking of the Maroon 5 song. Very different LOL. Pantera is “reuniting” with some different people filling in.
By the way, The Blues Brothers is a hilarious movie. I think you guys would love it.
Yes and thank you
Hell yeah. This is a banger. ,. Soft and hard at the same time. ,love you guys. Can't wait till y'all get that 100k subs, I wanna see that TH-cam plaque. Hanging behind yall

Five minutes alone is my personal favorite by pantera. Imo that's when they went "groove"

Walk is my all time favorite Pantera song
Just too cool! Don't know what year Smokey was born, you share this day with the release of the iconic AC/DC release of "Back In Black"!! The first album with the new lead singer Brian Johnson in 1980. Oh, Happy BDay Smokey!! Hope it's an awesome one!

Happy birthday, brother! Y’all are different from the others. In a good way. Keep it up!
God Pantera will NEVER get old for me. I'll be 80 in a rest home and STILL blast them into my ears.
Anyways, yes it's me again 😁. Ya'll ready to react to S.U.I.T (So Us Is This) by Blindspott yet? I'm gonna keep asking till yous do react to it or get annoyed with me (sorry in advance) lol. I'm just a proud kiwi tryna get a great great nz band out there to a new audience. And I'm surd you guys will dig them and their music. Thank you 😁🤘
And a massive metal happy birthday Smokey. Another day younger 👌 lol
Happy birthday Smokey! You guys need to check out Revolution is My Name by Pantera
Have ya'll done Testament? "Return to Serenity" is a great, cool, chill song.
HAPPY BDAY SMOKEDOG!!
You dudes are so entertaining , keep it up ,
From Australia 🇦🇺
Happy Birthday Smokey! Two Balls!!! 🤣
That’s DISGUSTING! Best way to describe that break down lmao. Love when you say that because it’s always spot on! Cheers! More PanterA please!
There's a reason Pantera aren't part of a hypothetical "Big 5" is that the "Big 4" are the big 4 of thrash metal. Pantera aren't thrash, they're groove metal. This is their best album though, no question.
And a happy birthday to Smokey too.
Sounds like a hybrid of genres...great reaction, as always.
More Pantera!!! With that guitar outro I was ready for "Fucking Hostile"
The last notes are a bridge towards next song, "Rise", another banger. Not as connected as Suicide Note pt 1 and pt 2, but still they mix very well.
Happy birthday Smokey!
Clearly one of the best metal bands! This is MY JAM!!!
Happy bday smoke dawg
Happy happy b day smokey!!
This is my wake up song. First easy going and when you don't get up immediately, pantera is going to kick you out😈
Good one... You try "WAKE UP" by
Hed PE... And the trash talkers need to react to more Pantera. I'd love for them to react to PRONG. Such an underrated band. They should have been headliners.
@@beezysbeatz4924 Wow. I think this is the first time I heard someone mention Prong since the 90's. But you are right about them.
You guys should react to the Pantera home videos. Classic!
What an amazing album, one of the best metal ones ever. Cowboys from hell another great album from them, their first
Love you guys and awesome reaction!
It's funny now,so many years later how I know the ambumn so well,I just start anticipating the first notes of rise.
Yes! Finally I see a reaction to the original version of the song.
