- Critical Dissonance: During the 1990s music genres like grunge, alt-rock, and hip-hop achieved great mainstream popularity, causing many critics to triumphantly proclaim that Heavy Metal was dead. Apparantly nobody told this to Pantera: their albums sold millions of copies and their concerts filled up large arenas. The album Far Beyond Driven even managed to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the heaviest and least radio-friendly album to ever accomplish that feat at the time.
- Crowning Moment of Funny: The Dallas Stars hockey team were huge friends of the band, and the band hosted a party for them when they won the Stanley Cup. During the festivities, a drunken player tried to chuck the Stanley Cup into the pool off a balcony and missed badly, giving it a nasty dent on the bottom.
- Crowning Music of Awesome:
- "Cemetery Gates," "Walk."
- "Mouth For War" and "Immortally Insane" too.
- "Cowboys from Hell", which became That One Boss on Guitar Hero.
- "Floods." Just "Floods."
- "Suicide Note."
- Face of the Band: Phil Anselmo & Dimebag Darrell.
- Squick: The lyrics to "Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills."
- Tear Jerker: "Cemetery Gates," "Floods," and "Hollow."
- Too Cool to Live: Dimebag Darrell. In addition to being one of the most talented metal guitarists in the world, he was a friendly, unpretentious, outgoing guy who was loved by just about everybody who knew him.
