Yeah he was ferocious. Check out his antics and interviews at their appearance at MTV Headbangers Ball, the one where they go to Texas Stadium.

Nice find. The days when tattoos were taboo. Its weird how certain things become socially acceptable.

When tattoos and piercings were becoming the rage as well, at least among some subcultures.

1990 was when Grunge was big. Pantera stood out that they were doing metal, but new metal, more in the vein of Metallica, not like Motley Crue and those 80's hair bands.

But I’d say early Pantera had Crue influence though, especially Crues first couple albums.

Pantera was such a great product of a lot of bands that came before them: from Kiss to Rush to Metallica to Def Leppard to ZZ Top. Much like many bands of the 90s, Pantera was the gen x band that was influenced by all the great bands of the 60s and 70s.

Oh sure, not to say they don't have influences. But I would class them in with Metallica in that they had a punk/alternative influence.

I was a punker in 80's. And though my crowd didn't like heavy metal, we liked Pantera.
