Phil is an asshole. He brought Pantera down. I saw those guys 9 times and the majority of them he was so fucked up
on heroin or whatever he was taking that they're performances were lacking because of it. The last time I saw Phil was
in Superjoint Ritual. He sounded fucked up and was a total ass to the crowd. He would stop songs to bitch at the crowd.
He was telling them how lame they were, how he wasn't going to continue unless people started getting into it more.
He said this was the worst crowd, used swear words, and said he would never come back. The funny part was that the
crowd was into him. People were slam dancing and generally getting off and he was a total dick. I've never paid attention
to him since. I have that "Down" album and another and I don't think they're that good. to each his own though.

That is sad about the no second chances, but proably true. Even if they replace people it's just not the same. The combination of all the right musicians creates lightning in a bottle, and there is no substitute the majority of the time.

Not really interested in Rebel Meets Rebel, again the artists aren't on the same page. That song is all over the place. Cliched lyrics too. Stupid video. I haven't really been interested in much that Dimebag and Vinnie have done since Pantera. The Hellyeah band looks like shit although I must admit I haven't listened to the Damageplan album which I just never got around to. Even though Dime is really respected I always thought Phil was the man in Pantera. The first Down album is awesome but the second and third are a bit patchy and their live album is abysmal. I get the feeling that Pantera, like Priest, are at their best when they are together, not involved in other projects. Unfortunately that's never going to happen again for those guys.

Well I watched the whole video right through. It was ok but I don't think the bands image suits their music. It almost sounded like country metal on the chorus which is ok but the verses just sounded like indecipherable nu metal crap from the late 90s early 2000s. The video looked like it was influenced by Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas with the scarecrow. The part where the guy tried to look thoughtful and meaningful as he sang towards the end of the video cracked me up because it was impossible to take seriously with that stupid costume. I think this band would be better if they were more focussed instead of taking all these elements from everywhere and trying to put them together. ie The horror movie image, the heavy nu metal riffing, the distorted rapped verses and the country metal chorus. It sounds like they aren't to sure where they want to be. I think the guys voice sounds like he could be in a good country metal band, maybe along the lines of Alabama Thunderpussy, who were awesome.

Normally, I'd say that I'd start the download immediately but I have too much Halford / Priest clogging my drive.
Time to continue the backup to make space! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Saturday, February 19, 2011 9:52:17 PM)

Well the album that song is from is called Termination Bliss, I think it came out 4 or 5 years ago. I'm sure amazon will have it. There's loads of their stuff on youtube to check out. Just punch in Deathstars.

I can see that, they are pretty hard to pigeonhole, I thought Sisters of Mercy because the singer sounds similar and Rammstein for that heavy militaristic, wall of noise riffing. But yeah those keys definately sound like Yello or something.
