Pantera may not be your cup of tea, but they are great at what they do so they certainly do not suck, phool! To say that Dimebag Darrell is 'quite good' is a total insult as he plays circles around most guitar players. Would he be on the new Randy Rhoads Tribute alongside Jake E Lee, George Lynch, Roy Z and Wolf Hoffmann if he was as mediocre as you claim? Hardly. To say that every Pantera song sounds 'exactly the same' is about as accurate as saying every Journey song sounds exactly the same. Complete and utter BS! And finally, Pantera flew the flag of metal and helped keep the genre alive and in the spotlight when the grunge and alterna freight train annihilated close to everything else in the early 90's, so you can shove your childish 'death to false metal' crap, pal. True, Pantera do not belong on this site, but you need to learn to differentiate between reality, i.e. the fact that Pantera have made some great music, and your personal, very subjective opinion which obviously prevents you from appreciating anything that doesn't sound like it originated in the 80's. I happen to like AOR/melodic rock AND Pantera as well as many other heavier bands. Just because you are close-minded doesn't mean the whole world is, too.
