I listened to Cemetary Gates the other day
and it refreshed my opinion that while Pantera had their moments, and Dimebag was pretty good, they are on the whole quite gay.

I saw them once - they were indeed quite gay.
cf Sepultura. Gaylords.

as a big fan of Metallica
I can recognise that they are bent, whiny, money grabbing shitheads, and yet they still produced significantly less gay music than Pantera

Must disagree with you most fervently here sir
Pantera were the finest metal band of the 90s, for my money. Please note I do not consider Tool, Korn or NIN to be "metal".

Also producing one of the finest albums, with Vulgar Display Of Power.

I thought it might get to you
They're just a band I've never been in to and revisiting them now does nothing for me. Unlike Slayer who I like far more now than I ever did before.

I tend to go the other way with Slayer
They are obviously exceptional, and their performances live are astonishing. But that doesn't stop me from getting quite bored, quite quickly with them.

Hearing Tom Araya roaring 'Raining blooooood' is something entirely special though.

I actually agree that Pantera don't sound anywhere near as good now as I remember them
but that's because my tastes have moved on. At the time, they were fucking brilliant.

they were of a time
it happens with some bands. Some of Pearl Jam's stuff for instance is kind of dated.

Couldn't agree more
Find it hard to believe I ever liked them as much as I did

With regard to your best song ever answer, would it be wrong to ask you why?
( djtrialprice, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:41, Reply)

Not at all, sir
Faith No More are by far my favourite band and Digging The Grave is my favourite song of theirs.

Or anyone else's.

Today.

Complete and utter fail
What's the first line of that awesome song?

I actually recorded a cover of it when I was learning to use home studio software. That's from my favourite FNM album too :)

The first line is "It would be wrong to ask you why"
/pedantry

Apologies for missing that, I mistook it for a genuine query. On B3TA. There is no hope for me.

Yeah, so your answer should have been
It would be wrong to ask me (you) why.

Meh. I fucking love Faith No More too. Saw them twice in 2009.

Grr
Never saw FNM live. Not once. Was unable to make the reunion gigs.

It still burns.
