503-250 1 Posted August 24, 2006 Pantera broke up because of in-fighting in the band itself, Darrell and Vinnie always got along fine (brothers) but I think that Phil really found himself to be an outsider. When he chose to go solo, he didn't tell anyone in the band until it was already public. I think that just made a bad situation worse. Phil claims that he never had any bad feelings towards the rest of the band, but there are a ton of reporters who jumped in and fueled this fire with either real or fictional content, but once a fire is going, does it matter how it started? Sadly it's believed the fan who shot Darrell on stage during a show in front of his fans and his brother was of course deranged, but was despondent based on an article in which Anselmo told the press Pantera broke up because of Darrell, and he deserves to be beaten or beaten to death...or some other jackass type comment. A fan, a club employee and the head of Damageplan's security force were also killed that night. Luckily for their drum tech (I believe) who was already shot in the leg, the first police officer to arrive was able to shoot and kill the armed assailant who was holding the drum tech hostage.

nursekathy2u 0 Posted August 24, 2006 I partied with Pantera in their Garage Jam Sessions when I was in Nursing School. This was back before they were "famous".. just a local band. My life was so wild back then all I can really remember about them and those times with them is their house and their music. I didnt know them well at all. One of my girlfriends was dating one of them.. I was just along for the ride so to speak. They lived here in Pantego Texas.. I believe their family still lives in the same house (I could be wrong about that). They were an awesome band, even in their early years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foodstampchamp 3 Posted August 25, 2006 Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence? One step from lashing out at you. You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend? I've got more friends like you, What do I do? Is there no standard anymore? What it takes, who I am, where I've been. Belong. You can't be something you're not. Be yourself, by yourself, Stay away from me!!! A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time. Respect, walk. Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve. You cry to weak friends that sympathize. Can you hear the violins playing you song? Those same friends tell me your every word. Are you talking to me? No way punk. is there anything better than Pantera. I guess there is if you are talking about the Great Southern Trendkill. Not one of my faves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil also did and still has a very nasty heroin habit. That was a huge part of the in-band fighting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure how old you were when you knew them, but I have old magazines where they were definately 80's hair band rockers before they were famous. It's funny to see them in their tight spandex leopard skin pants with eyeliner on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa Bones 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Pantera is like a shot of Tequila, a little strong till you get used to the taste, but then it's like rocket fuel for the soul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dody 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Dody? WTF????? You know the group???? I say this will all the respect in the world but I am freaking impressed! I never heard of them. What can I say. I had a baby at 38 and rock music was blasting throughout the house every day when she was a teen. She was also a big Nirvana fan and we almost got shot for approaching Curt Covaine's ?? house to get pictures when we went to Seattle. They had huge guard dogs patroling the place and he had just been dead about 4 mo. or so, and I believe Courtney was still there. Scared the heck out of me let me tell you. Yeh, I've seen the rock age and even enjoyed some of the more mellow stuff....like Savage Garden and Journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
