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.▼

** The Pantera home videos also feature clips of them performing "Grinder" by [[
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: ''The Great Southern Trendkill'' was recorded during a time of tension within Pantera. Philip Anselmo had started distancing himself from his bandmates and was using heroin to deal with his chronic back pain. When recording the album Anselmo recorded his vocal tracks at a studio (owned by [[Nine Inch Nails
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The change on the style of the band. Initially they were a [[Hair Metal]] band that was heavily influenced by bands like [[
* [[Dead Artists Are Better]]: Though he was extremely well-respected in the metal community, nobody in the general media acknowledged Dimebag as an awesome guitarist until his death.
* [[Dye Hard]]: Kind of; Darrell's long goatee that he usually dyed crimson.
Line 67 ⟶ 61:
** He was even buried in a Kiss Kasket that was donated by Gene Simmons.

* [[Greatest Hits Album]]:
** ''Reinventing Hell''. (2003)
Line 73 ⟶ 67:
** In 2010 the album ''1990-2000: A Decade of Domination'' was released. This greatest hits album actually features ''less'' tracks than previous greatest hits album. The reason for this is so that the album could be sold at Wal-Mart, which refuses to sell music albums with the "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" label, so the album omits some of Pantera's more profanity-laden songs.
* [[Heavy Meta]]: ''"Goddamn Electric."''
* [[Hot
* [[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 81 ⟶ 75:
* [[The Nineties]]: Their [[Growing the Beard]] period.
* [[Old Shame]]: The first four albums mentioned above, for both the fans and the band themselves. For some fans, anyways, it falls under [[Discontinuity]]. Anselmo's first album, ''Power Metal'', was later dismissed by him as "immature":

* [[The Prankster]]: The guys in Pantera were ''constantly'' pulling pranks on each other, and also on the bands that they toured with. Several of these practical jokes were caught on film and included on the Pantera Home Videos.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Rex.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]
* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock
** 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.
Line 93 ⟶ 87:
* [[Stop and Go]]: "Cemetery Gates."
