The untimely passing of Dimebag Darrell, one of heavy metal's TOP 5 axemen of all time, just a few years ago has only increased his relevance in the world of rock'n'roll. His absence pretty much signaled the end of American Heavy Metal as we knew it. Gone is his unbelievable mastery of the guitar stick, but his legacy lives on in this collection. Not to say the other 3 members of Pantera were not significant contributors, but the playing of Dimebag (in my humble opinion) was the most prolific offering in the guitar world since the emergence of Eddie Van Halen in the 80's. Of course he had destructive riffing down to an art form (see: "5 Minutes Alone"), but he crafted absolutely beautiful licks in "Cemetery Gates." Bottom line, if you love hard rock or enjoy exemplary musicianship, you owe it to yourself to listen to this collection of his greatest works.Read full review
To the average person, Philip Anselmo, Dime, Rex, and Vince might seem like four of Hell's minions, and to that end they might be right. But delving deeper, we see that this was just another 90's rock band that was too special. The self destructive nature of these four beasts were on display early and often once they hit the charts, while on tours, and in the eye of the media and Pantera fans alike. But I digress. This is a great setlist, and the DVD just sweetens the deal. If you like Metal, and I mean REAL metal (cough, screamo...gag!) then grab this guy right away. I haven't listened to Pantera on a regular basis in awhile, but nothing beats popping this bad boy in and immediately reveling in the Tom Morello-like CFH intro! Yes, they ARE taking over this town!

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
love this cd. love the fact that cat scratch fever is on it. some of their greatest songs on one cd. the dvd is awesome, especially if you don't have any of their home movies. i probably would have picked a few different songs to have on it, but still bad ass. definitely should have put FLOODS. STRENGTH BEYOND STRENGTH would have been another one to add, but how can you limit yourself to under 80 minutes of PANTERA?
Awesome love it had it before
