Is Pantera The Best Metal Band Ever?

[mrtrebus]

Fuck no! They are one of the most boring bands ever!

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

They're certainly up there.

 

[drf]

They are close but I would say that distinction belongs to Slayer. :banger:

 

[BDwestcoast]

Pantera is very good. "Vulgar Display of Power" is among the best metal records of all time.

However I am going to say that in my opinion System of A Down are my favorite metal band

WTF

 

[alexpnz]

Slayer
Metallica
Megadeth
Pantera
Anthrax

Rex ! :glugglug: :banger: :beer: :Flame:

I think that age has a lot to do with how we select

 

[Legzman]

They happen to be my favorite band. Even still I can't say they're the best ever. There is to much good metal out there to label just one band as the best.

 

[Namreg]

Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Metallica (pre-load)
Slayer

then there's a bit of a gap...

then there's everyone else.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Any best metal band thread loses all credibility without the mentioning of these guys.

mOtoRHeAd !

 

[lechepicha]

definitely not. AC/DC and Metallica are much better, IMHO.

but of course, it's a matter of taste.

 

[cartman24]

One of the best, yes. The best, no.

 

[JakeSnake]

No.

 

[kaseygrant]

I think Pantera was the best at the time, but now I'm on to other bands, like All That Remains, System of a Down, As I Lay Dying, etc.

 

[ed259r2345]

no not#1

 

[E-Ann-Hilden]

I am not metal fan, so my opinion means very little, but I am a Black Sabbatha fan

 

[red22]

MEGADETH
Metallica
Pantera
Slayer
Mushroom Head
Bloodfed

Is Pantera The Best Metal Band Ever? Fuck No!!

I'm sorry. I certainly don't mean any disrespect to anyone who's opinion is different than mine or is a huge fan of Diamond Darrell but if Pantera is your favorite metal band then you haven't heard shit. They had 2 great records and I mean great records. Cowboys was better than Vulgar but those two albums were excellent for what they were. But to be the answer to Metal? Again, fuck no.
There are tons of other metal bands before Pantera hit that are 100 times better. They never would have been in the same range as Metallica and the likes even if they had reunited. Those two brothers were very cool, Vinnie still is but other than that, they had some good tunes, but that's really it.

Just my opinion so don't slaughter me ok?
Thanks
