I would say Cowboys From Hell is more than Vulgar....it just depends on how much live Pantera you want from those eras. Cowboys at least has the demo version of the album, and Vulgar has an unreleased track titled "Piss" that probably should have remained unreleased.

The only Pantera album worth any dips is Power Metal and we all know that'll never get released

Speaking of Pantera, I met Vinnie at a club a few months back (for those who don't know... he was the drummer and Dimebag's brother, and is now in the horrendous band Hell Yeah)
He was wasted, but I shook his hand because DAMMIT, for all the shit Pantera gets, Dimebag was still a badass. I introduced myself and he repeated my name back to me, incorrectly.
I went home that night and listened to Burzum to forget about Vinnie's shaky musical legacy, but it was still kind of a neat moment

I think Down is the only Post Pantera band in this realm worth listening to.

I dislike Pantera's music, but Dimebag always seemed like a really down to earth, great guy. It's a fucking tragedy that he lost his life.
I'm so glad that you guys got me interested in this album; it's really legit good. I have no interest in anything else they did, but I really dug Power Metal.

I've not listened to Down before, despite seeing the name pop up repeatedly. Link me to something tasty of theirs brotha, and I shall right that wrong post-haste!

Awesome, I like the individual songs you posted Sandman. I'll check out NOLA when I have more time to devote to a full album listening session.
It's probably because I am not familiar with Down at all, but at first listen it's surprising to me that some of you who hate Pantera like Down. They sound extremely similar in style so far (which is fine by me, because I still really enjoy jamming to Cowboys From Hell every now and again)

Down is more sludgy than Pantera typically gets. They're firmly rooted in the NOLA metal sound.

I'm just going to leave this here for some Pantera debate: Exhorder - Slaughter In The Vatican
Andrew Korenchkin

I fucking love this album. Pantera can veer off into catchy/pop territory while Exhorder is just metal as fuck. Depends what I am in the mood for.

Pantera was interesting for a small period of time when Cowboys dropped, apparently that's because they heard Exhorder. Pantera did write some solid riffs on Cowboys though. Hearing them now is a metal buzzkill. Can't do it.

It's just beautiful, man. My record store wants 40€ for it though, can't justify that.
Edit: just saw discogs prices start at 60€. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh, NOLA actually stands for something? I didn't know that, let alone that it represented a whole metal styling.
Now THIS I can get behind. Such a metal record
While I'm sure there is a better article on it:

This. I'd actually buy it if I could find it anywhere. Fuck off non-Glamtera!The only Pantera album worth any dips is Power Metal and we all know that'll never get released
I'd get some merch to hang up myself if it weren't for the price.
Well, that and if I had a house I lived in for more than 2 years.

Thou CD looks neat. Is it actually scratched as part of the artwork or is that printed?
The Vinyl I got is basic but alright. Actually printed on the inward side of the gatefold and limited to 500 as I learned today.
Was about to buy the Cash album on CD today too, but I want my first Johnny wax so bad

I see Johnny Cash. I like your style.
I actually enjoy country, although am I in no way into the genre like I am with Metal. Cash is a bit of a lay man's country artist (almost everybody knows who he is, even those who really don't like much country), but I think he's worthy of the praise he gets obviously. I also have a few albums from Son Volt/Wilco/Uncle Tupelo.
I hate modern country, though. Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made. Makes my skin crawl.

Nah, don't worry about it. Mistakes like that happen. What else is there to say?
But opinions apparently must be known and shared!!!
Good friend Shane. I always find it sad when metal fans take their valuable time (cept Face his time is worthless) to shit on a band. Just..go make some popcorn..or watch reruns of seinfeld. The metal community is literally shrinking by the second. In a few years dudes will wish that there was a Pantera around to hate on.

I don't like that new Metallica song.
My response was indeed sarcastic
If you have nothing good to say, it just makes sense to not post. I do not care if someone thinks a band is complete shit.I was searching for an Iced Earth song to do for a school project and I can't help but notice how hit-and-miss their material is. When their stuff is good it's absolutely infectious, but when the song is a miss it's dreadfully boring. It baffles me.
I never gave them a second look, but my school project is on a genre and we have to dissect songs. I chose Power Metal, which was great up until I realized the only band from the American branch I listened to up until then was Kamelot, and they're not exactly a typical Power Metal band.
I ultimately chose to use Dark City.

Well, time to listen to Seventh Son again.

It's printed. I can't wait for the US vinyl, I need to keep up on when that comes out.
The Cash album is good too....digging it so far. I can't tell you if it would have been a hit in the 80s, but now it's great.
brother gr1m, i personally can do without all the hillbilly pantera fans. let the metal community be purged of that lot.

Thanks, I have the Cowboys one. Far Beyond Driven came out today and more curious if the "remastered" made a difference
Sorry breh I couldnt hear you over dat cowboys from hell swing.
This is a discussion board, is it not? If we all did was endlessly masturbate over our favourite bands this thread would get stale quickly.
Also, go fuck yourself.

Man, I never expected the metal thread to awaken a massive desire to listen to Johnny Cash.

One of my favorite artists of all time, I'll listen to his greatest hits right after Cowboys from Hell
Man in Black is my personal favorite Cash song:
