This is no longer a "pantera" thread.Is this the politics thread?
where's RATT FFS ?And the "Big 4 of Hair Metal" without Poison or Cinderella? Completely unacceptable.
I mean you're not wrong, but is this the place to start up a conversation about Israel-Palestine? Im completely on your side, but not the place, please.This is no longer a "pantera" thread.
It's about 4 racist pieces of shit that need to be cancelled. Two of them are dead thankfully, two more to go ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
Good four.
Though I'd probably throw Cannibal Corpse in the mix, they're sort of the Metallica of Death Metal. Who else? Maybe Death or Obituary? Though maybe that's too much early Florida sound.
By how much we personally like the band of course.![]()
My DM Big Four would be Cannibal Corpse, Death, Deicide, and Suffocation.
I don’t think Death was ever commercially successful. Their music was less catchy and the lyrics and imagery rarely controversial.
I think many are forgetting or are too young to remember that Morbid Angel had so much hype behind them that Covenant was released on a major label; Giant records(same label as Air Supply and Kenny Rogers), a subsidiary of Warner Brothers.. in 1993. That's a huge feat, I can't think of any other death metal band having that level of commercial mainstream attention and/or success. That's worthy of big 4 placement.Along them Morbid Angel and Deicide were quite successful (considering we’re talking about death metal) for a short period of time in the 90s. And MTV aired Don’t Care by Obituary quite often. They’d play stuff from Entombed and Carcass too.
Carcass went on to Columbia records (subsidiary of Sony). The wikipedia for them lists Beyonce, David Bowie, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand among many other names. It seemed to destroy the band. and they broke up soon after, but that's the mainstream attention that they had.I think many are forgetting or are too young to remember that Morbid Angel had so much hype behind them that Covenant was released on a major label; Giant records(same label as Air Supply and Kenny Rogers), a subsidiary of Warner Brothers.. in 1993.

Nelson is infinitely better than Slayer.
Brett Garsed > Slayer Guitarists
To be fair:
A brick > Slayer Guitarists
Sure, you guys say this now. But if you were under 20 in 1991?I would take Nelson over Slayer any day. Nelson is light hearted, musically inoffensive, and actually kinda fun.
Slayer is....Slayer. And their fans are neck and neck with the most insufferable fanbase of all time with Pantera. Those two are definitely in the top 3 of worst fans.
Thanks for reminding me of Nelson, now I wanna listen to their stuff.
You mean under 20 IQ? Then I could see how Slayer would be coolSure, you guys say this now. But if you were under 20 in 1991?
Slayer has always been a terrible band known more for their "satanic" imagery than they ever were for their music.Sure, you guys say this now. But if you were under 20 in 1991?
Granted, Slayer's guitarists never really were players, until Holt was in there. But I still dig some of what they did back in the day. Lots of derp among the fans though. Honestly, I always thought the over-the-top fans were the worst part of Slayer. Barring, of course, Kerry King. That man screams walking testicle to me. And I don't mean that in a complimentary way.
