    Pantera

    Pantera. The word alone conjures images of ALL that is pure, American heavy metal. While the band founded by brothers Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell started in 1981, it wasnt until 1990 when they released Cowboys From Hell which many fans credit as their official debut - that they got serious about their metal and morphed into one of the biggest bands of our time, credited with the development of several, if not all other movements in the genre. Noted for their extremes (Vulgar Video anyone?) Pantera will always be a hallowed name in metal circles and an absolute must have for any serious metal fan.

    We recently asked drummer Vinnie Paul a few questions including why he chose METAL! Read on to see what he had to say


    WHY DID YOU CHOOSE METAL?

    I fell in love with KISS and to me, they were metal and
    I loved the heaviness and extremes of the music!!


    WHATS THE BEST KIND OF METAL?

    Groove metalIve never been into speed. I love a solid groove!


    WHY WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO CHOOSE METAL?

    Because its the best! Like KISS said you wanted the best, so you got the best!!
