Nope, Pantera still kicks ass though..
But I like Slayer, Overkill, Kreator and Judas Priest better.

JUDAS PRIEST???
JK.
I myself love Pantera, they're my favorite band, and "Walk" is my all-time favorite song.
Painkiller, Stained Class and Sad Wings Of Destiny are by far better than any of Pantera's studio output.
*beep* you pantera owns
shareThat's right! no one should ever talk smack about pantera...especially on a pantera thread. I am a diehard Pantera fan and nothing ever will beat the power and heavyness of pantera. They Were the best, and still are! Pantera influenced me soo much as an artist. They made me a better person and made me strong enough to not take anybody's crap. Now...can any other band affect someone's life soo much? I think not.
share Pffft... Hahahah. There are many others who are more artistic who deserve the accolades more than Pantera. Their whiny/tinny guitar sound should never be associated with the terms "heavy" and "power". Yes, they gained commercial success that opened a lot of the mainsteam's eyes to heavy music, but only after trading in their hairspray for a more hardcore look (btw, a look does not mean you have credibility) when they acquired Phil Anselmo.
On another note, for someone to be influenced by a single band only perpetuates the creation of one dimensional musical creation which gets us nowhere in the evolution of art. Try listening to Exhorder to see where Pantera got their sound from and you'll see how only one influence can direct a band's final output. As always, the originators get no credit, while the bandwagon that comes later undeservedly gets the success.
lol someone always brings up exhorder...
yes but - EXHORDER ARENT THAT GOOD!
theyve been described as "pantera without the good songs" & i agree...i mean yeh there's similarities, but its like saying black sabbath ripped off blue cheer...yeh they sound similar but one totally kicks the sh** out of the other, yknow?
Love Pantera my favourite metal band of all time. Listened to Far Beyond Driven and Vulgar Display of Power when I was at school 10 years ago and still loving it now too. Greatest metal band ever IMO

Hey! Those are my three favourite JP albums!!! :D And I like Sin After Sin and Rocka Rolla as well!
sharePantera had many influences, Kiss, Judas Priest, Metallica, are just a few examples, even some country music, you shouldn't make statements about something you know nothing about.
oh and, "[edit] Controversy
It has long been claimed that Exhorder pioneered the angry, 90's post-thrash metal that is often linked to Pantera, as Exhorder were signed to a record label around the same time as Pantera (though Exhorder's first released their music on demos in the 1980s, while Pantera were still playing glam metal){2}. Many have claimed that Pantera ripped off Exhorder, with the resemblance of stripped-down rhythm guitars, heavy double-bass drumming, and angry (almost identical) vocals (complimenting the basic American thrash style of the late 80's) however, Exhorder's first album Slaughter in the vatican was more in the vain of pure thrash, and Exhorder didnt introduce heavy use of groove metal techniques until they released the Law on March 15 1992, which still leaves the controversy of whether or not Pantera ripped them off or not as Pantera already had two Groove metal releases (Cowboys from hell two years before hand, And Vulgar display of power a month before hand) before Exhorder released The law, being Exhorder's first groove metal release.[citation needed]
Vocalist Kyle Thomas recently claimed that while Pantera were definitely influenced by Exhorder, and may have even deliberately ripped Exhorder off, Pantera worked a lot harder for their success than Exhorder did.[1]"
