Pantera was one of the most popular and influential [[Heavy Metal (Music)|Heavy Metal]] bands of [[The Nineties]] <ref>although this is the period where [[Growing the Beard|they made their definitive sound and essence.]]</ref>, from Texas. Starting as a [[Hair Metal]] [[Old Shame|band]], they changed their style after replacing original singer Terry Glaze with Phil Anselmo in 1988. They disbanded in 2003, and any hope of reunion was dashed after the murder of guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott in December 2004.
Line 46:
=== Pantera has examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Angrish]]: Anselmo sounds like he's losing his mind in "Good Friend and a Bottle of Pills". By the final section he's launched into an [[Atomic F
* [[Anti Love Song]]: "This Love"
* [[Badass Beard]]: Everyone in the band, but especially Dimebag and Phil.
Line 54:
* [[Break Up Song]]: "This Love".
* [[Careful With That Axe]]: ''Fucking... fucking... fucking... FUCKING HOSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' It's so loud, there's a feedback whistle on the mic after he's done.
* [[Cluster F
** If they don't have it in studio, it'll be tacked in live. Check the ''Official Live'' version of "Walk".
* [[Cover Version]]: "Electric Funeral", "Hole In The Sky" and "Planet Caravan", all of these by [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Black Sabbath]], and "Cat Scratch Fever" by [[Ted Nugent (Music)|Ted Nugent]].
Line 67:
** He was even buried in a Kiss Kasket that was donated by Gene Simmons.
* [[Fatal Method Acting]]: Dimebag's last show with Damageplan. See the entry on this page for details.
* [[Four
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]:
** ''Reinventing Hell''. (2003)
Line 74:
* [[Heavy Meta]]: ''"Goddamn Electric."''
* [[Hot Blooded]]: The change from [[Hair Metal]] to [[Heavy Metal (Music)|Heavy Metal]] (or [[Groove Metal]], if you want to go techical) which started with their fourth album, ''Power Metal''.
* [[Last
* [[Loony Fan]]: Nathan Gale, Dimebag's murderer.
* [[Manly Tears]]: In the wake of Dimebag's death, Phil Anselmo posted a video online in which he pays his respects to his former bandmate. About halfway through the video he breaks down and starts crying.
Line 85:
* [[The Quiet One]]: Rex.
* [[Rated M for Manly]]
* [[Sex
** Pantera's former manager, Terry Date, has mentioned in interviews that if you hung out with Dimebag, you ''would'' be drinking with him. If he offered you a shot and you refused, he'd take it as an insult and make you do two shots as punishment.
* [[Song Style Shift]]: "Cemetery Gates" starts out with an acoustic guitar, then shifts into an aggressive heavy metal tune. "This Love" goes along the same line, except without acoustic parts - it starts low-key, then the chorus gets aggressive.
