Susumu, with all due respect if you are a genuine AOR/MELODIC ROCK fan you will hate Pantera as I do. They are a thrashy metal band, I admit the guitarist Dimebag Darrell(ridiculous name) is quite good but this band is ANTI-MELODIC and every song sounds exactly the same. The singer growls rather than sings and the overall effect is really morbid. In other words PANTERA suck. If you want to listen to MELODIC METAL go to bands like HELLOWEEN, DREAM THEATER, STRATOVARIUS, STREET LEGAL, RIOT, GAMMA RAY, HAMMERFALL ETC. These bands feature great vocals, plenty of melodic guitar something that Pantera don't have. I laughed when I even saw PANTERA mentioned in this site!PANTERA SUCK!DEATH TO FALSE METAL! AOR/MELODIC HARD ROCK RULES!
