growing up in the middle of nowhere Texas maybe gave me a better appreciation of where Pantera was coming from, not that im a huge fan or that i feel its possible to defend a lot of their music. i remember first hearing them in the late 80s on Z-Rock when i was visiting Dallas. they were one of the middle of the road, more "power metal" bands on there, compared with the wimpy hair bands and the more aggressive thrash bands that got played there.

the next time i heard them was "Cemetary Gates" on the radio in the summer of 1991 and this was a pretty big thing in East Texas when Metallica had only been played one time on any radio station within ear-shot EVER. i wasnt really into them as much as most of my friends were but remember liking "Vulgar" and "Far Beyond Driven" because there were some cool riffs in there. at the time they seemed to be the only popular thrash band not trying to sell out or retread the same album over and over, so they were a Big Deal with the crowd i hung out with. i actually saw them a couple of times during this era, but they were hopelessly outclassed by the bands that opened for them ("Cleansing"-era Prong and "Chaos A.D."-era Sepultura, along with a 1996 (?) Clutch that schooled them in every way possible in an arena in their own home town).

anyways, i just thought id add to this that they really kept heavy music alive around Texas and they get my gratitude for that. there were literally hundreds of bands that would have gotten no exposure whatsoever in that barren musical landscape without Pantera as their benefactors. so they get props from me for that at least.

I saw Pantera back in the CFH years a couple times. Once opening on the Suicidal Tendencies / Red Hot Chili Peppers tour (if I'm not mistaken, and once on their own at Hammerjacks where Phil impressed everyone with his crude sense of humor and his circus talents by balancing a bottle of beer on his cock while keeping his pants on... I knew they were headed for multi platinum success after that!!!

they did "tear it the fuck up" on stage.

Hey guys, I think the date for the Winnipeg show is incorrect. Pollstar and the local media both have the following:

Wed 08/05/09 Winnipeg, MB Burton Cummings Theatre

But Ticket Hub has the 6th. Which is the correct one? I have made arrangements and will be at the show for sure!

Yes, the show was originally going to be on the 6th and the date was released to the public originally as that, but about one week later it was corrected to the 5th....
