Pantera are so underrated

I have a Pantera shirt of my bro's that he wore to their concerts. Sure it's got a few tiny holes in it, but I still rock that shit on the anniversary of his death. FFS he used to inject whiskey into himself whilst listening to thrash metal. He was those ppl that wasn't destined to live long, though he died of cancer before he hit 33. I think he'd have preferred to have died with whiskey in his veins. He lived my life 3 times over before I hit that age last year.

How the hell can one think that one of the best selling and highly regarded bands in the history of metal is underrated?
Do you even understand the meaning of the word underrated?

Means so much to me. Think my bro was there live. I've got an Ozzfest 98 shirt of his, but he says he went to a few.

I live in UK, most people don't know of Pantera. So from my perspective they seem to be.

^ So tight dude.
I'd have loved to have seen them live. I'll absolutely settle for seeing Lamb of God when they tour that new album though.
They were phenomenal.
Saw them headline three times, including both of their last two tours.
Also saw this lineup New Years Evil December 31 1998 in Phoenix. Was insane:
Soulfly
Megadeth
Slayer
Pantera
Black Sabbath

Just got his Ozzfest 98 shirt out now. It's got on it 'Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, Pantera, Soulfly, Fear Factory, Coal Chamber, Life of Agony, Entombed, Human Waste Project, Pitchshifter, DJ Krusher'
Some bands I never heard of, so are some worth listening to besides the obvious Ozzy and Pantera and Coal Chamber?

That sounds insanely good. I'd rip off my own flesh to bang like that track.

I live in UK so here nobody knows who they are, unless they know their music. If most of you are from the US, then you need to preach to us more, because they're amazing.

I don't wanna derail your thread. But if you dug that, then check out the real deal:
Streetcleaner is an underground classic. One of the all-time greats.

This was played at my bro's funeral. Which was weird as when he was alive I'd listen to it with him. He loved it.

I member when my mates were telling me about dimebag interviewed for the guitarist in Megadeth for the Rust in Piece album but he turned it down when Vinnie couldn't join because Nick Menza was already in the band and Dave wouldn't kick him out

Cowboys from Hell, Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven were some of my favourite albums growing up.
Saw them ~1994 in a 2,100 seater stadium. I was in the front row getting crushed to fuck. After about half an hour the power kept cutting out every few minutes. After ten minutes of that Phil launched the mic off the wall, walked off and they didn't come back out. I did get one of Rex's picks which I had stuck to my wall for years.

I don't listen to Pantera super often but this song is one of the greats.

The best band I ever saw live. Only got to see them twice, once in Ozzfest and once when they toured for the Steel album. When they opened with Yesterday Don’t Mean Shit, it was amazing. I’d been to more than a few Ozzfests and other shows and I’d never heard anything so loud or felt such an energy from the crowd. Closest thing was Metallica at Ozzfest years later but they closed the show and everyone had been out for hours in hundred degree Texas sun, there wasn’t as much energy as there should have been.

Are they underrated?
I feel like people that know metal generally love Pantera.
I feel like maybe they didn't get the success they deserve but on the whole.
Great Southern Trendkill is one of my favorite albums of all time. I wish I could have gotten to see them live, it's one of life's big let downs.

Pretty sure they started as a glam band which is why they got some stick in their early years.

They were too mainstream to be underrated.

Ah, makes sense. How is the metal scene in the UK?
