A true drunkard

Sebastian Bach is loosing it

"I remember, in 1999, when we did the last Ozzfest that we were part of, and I think DISTURBED was on it, STATIC-X, obviously Ozzy, us, and we were the only band on the tour that had a rider that had any alcohol. Nobody else had it. And I'm, like, what is going on? I mean, this is '99. And I'm trippin', and I'm, like, 'Man, this ain't what it used to be.' These guys finish their set, they go out to their bus and play Nintendo or call their girlfriends. What happened to rock and roll, man? I'm out going to titty bars every night, I'm out going to rock bars, I'll sit in and jam with bands, I'm drinking my ass off. Once I'm done, I'm done. I'm ready to have a good time".

A big loss. R.I.P.

I used to really listen Pantera a lot in my younger days, not so much now, and I never did listen to any of the Damage Plan or Hell Yeah stuff, but I still really like the way "Far Beyond Driven" starts. No slow dramatic intro, no TV/movie samples, just straight into it no bullshit. I always liked that.

[oettinger]

Damage Plan was boring.

Vulgar Display Of Power is such a cool album though like this

"Fucking Hostile!"

[RIPT2.0]

This was always my favorite Pantera tune.

"Far Beyond Driven" had some decent tunes on it. I always liked the opening riff to this myself.
