JustDave's Notes:
- This was at the end of side 2 of the My Dying Bride Waldrock 2004 cassette.
- This cassette I can not remember who I traded with to get, it was quite a few years ago I haven't traded tapes in a long time.

Editing Notes:
- Recorded & editing done at 24bit/96khz.
- I cleaned up the fade in and fade out of the beginning and end of the recording.
- I also evened the volume between the left and right channels. The left channel having been much louder than the right channel.

Other Notes:
- Promoting the Down III: Over the Under release, the lyrical content of which covers subjects such as the breakup of Pantera, the murder of ex-Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, the band's anger at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and Anselmo's recovery from back surgery and drug addiction.
- Down almost didn't let this broadcast happen due to their fear that the cover of When The Levee Breaks wasn't good enough.
- Down formed in 1991 with vocalist/songwriter Phil Anselmo of Pantera, guitarist Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity, second guitarist Kirk Windstein and bassist Todd Strange of Crowbar, and drummer Jimmy Bower of Eyehategod.
- All of the band members were longtime friends, and shared interest in bands such as Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus, which would significantly influence the music they made.
- The band made a three-track demo for underground trading. In an effort to build a fan base, the band would ask heavy metal fans if they had ever "heard of this band, Down" and hand them copies of the tape without telling the person that they were in the band.
- Eventually, the tape was distributed throughout the United States and Down played a small concert in its hometown. A record executive from Elektra Records was attending the show. When he found out who the members of the band were, he signed Down to a recording contract.

For our Out Of Print Music this week we have the very first Pantera demo/album, Metal Magic. I know you Pantera fans that don't have this were hoping it was coming up after I posted Power Metal. Those of you who don't know the past of Pantera are probably wondering what the big deal is. This release with former lead singer Terry "Terance Lee" Glaze is a far cry from the Pantera of Far Beyond Driven. This is Pantera in full grip of their Glam Metal influences. This album and the 2 that follow, Projects In The Jungle & I Am The Night (yes to be posted soon too) sound more like On Through The Night era Def Leppard (with a firm agreement from m that the first 2 Leppard albums are their best). Terry Glaze can hit the high notes that Phillip Anselmo can't. Those high pitched screams on Cowboys From Hell killed his voice when Pantera started to Road Dog it to promote their official debut. On this album and the next 2 following you get to hear Diamond Darrell out play every guitar player in the 1980's Glam/Hair Metal craze as his brother Vinnie lays waste to their drummers. If these guys had followed this path into stardom we may not have had a lot of those Glam/Hair bands. Their guitarists would through their guitars away or go back to the drawing board. Also the sound and influence of the band Exhorder may not have escaped the Metal underground.

This is the first Pantera album to feature Philip Anselmo on lead vocals, It also marked a turn towards a heavier sound. Power Metal sounds more like Judas Priest than Def Leppard's On Through The Night, like the Terry Glaze era. The band has continually stated that the early records were just demos, not legitimate album releases. They also continually say they will never see a commercial release. So for all of you Pantera fans who wanted to to here them but couldn't find them, here you go. Power Metal sounds like a natural step between their Cowboys From Hell release and the 3 Glam albums with Terr Glaze. From Power Metal on, the band kept growing more and more heavy till they released one of the heaviest albums to hit The Billboard Charts. Far Beyond Driven was influenced by Death Metal, New Orleans Sludge Swamp Metal, and the Post-Thrash Groove Metal of Exhorder. The fans of both bands to this day go back and forth over who stole who's sound, Ehorder or Pantera. They are both great bands in my humble opinion.

At any rate Power Metal is a damn good album of Judas Priest influences filtered through the American West Coast Hair Metal. Villian's 7 tracks are pretty kick ass too. Their Heavy Metal take on Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down" is worth the download alone.

The Only Time Will Tell EP was the first release by Villain.

Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was murdered on stage December 8, 2004, he was 38.

Pantera drummer "Vinnie Paul" Vincent Paul Abbott died June 22, 2018 from heart disease, he was 54.

Villian guitarist Carl Albert died April 22, 1995 in a car accident, he was 33.

Villian guitarist Greg E. Noll died February 27, 2020 from complications of diabetes, he was 55

This is the second of the 3 new CD's I said I would be posting this week. The wave files tested lossy so I encoded the CD to MP3 320kbps.

This is a great recording of Pantera's early work with Phil Anselmo. Phil can actually still hit the Rob Halford like high screams. The seeds for the emergence of the Cowboy's From Hell are all here, they just need to be fine tuned a little before world domination.

A great recording form Pantera on their Far Beyond Driven Tour. This was actually the beginning of the end for Pantera. According to band members, after a break in touring Phil Anselmo would start distancing himself from the band and acting quite strange. They figured it was Phil developing a big ego due to Pantera's success. Phil claimed it was due to severe back pain from his intense performing style. As it turned out Phil was addicted to heroin and would OD an hour after a homecoming gig July 13, 1996. The mounting tension between Pantera and Phil finally came to a breaking point in 2003 when the Abbott brothers formally broke up Pantera and formed Damageplan. During the first minutes of a Damageplan gig at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio December 8, 2004, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was murdered by a deranged fan. The gunman killed 3 others and had his gun at the head of another audience member when an off duty police officer, who was a Pantera fan shot and killed him.

On tour to promote Vulgar Display Of Power the Cowboys From Hell lay waste to The Hollywood Palladium. This is prime Pantera before Phil's excesses and health issues would make him a little unreliable in the live setting. Pantera's live show's however would recover the fire after Phil dealt with his drug addiction. Phil's return from the literal brink of death would renew his fire and passion. However Phil's renewed artistic energy and need for expression in many musical areas would be one of the many factors in the break up of Pantera. If you want a show featuring Pantera at their peak this is the one trust me.

This is Pantera's last Ozzfest performance ever. It is from the last date of the Ozzfest 2000 American Tour. Pantera would continue to tour until August 28, 2001, when they played the final night of their tour and last show ever. Phil went on to his many side projects including Down & Superjoint Ritual. Dimebag and Vinnie waited until 2003 for Phil to commit to a new Pantera project, before dissolving the band legally. Dimebag & Vinnie formed Damageplan and released their debut CD on February 10, 2004. The band was on tour in Columbus OH December 8, 2004 when a crazed fan shot Dimebag in the head several times. The gunman killed 3 others before a police officer shot and killed him as he held a gun to a hostage.

Zakk Wylde joins the band on stage at the end of "Cowboys From Hell", grabbing Dimebag's guitar and soloing.

The Cowboys From Hell hold a very special spot at Just Dave's Place. It was at a Black Sabbath Pantera concert that I proposed marriage to my Rosebud. It was our second Valentine's Day and when I had asked her what she wanted she said Black Sabbath/Pantera tickets. That year we saw Black Sabbath and Pantera together 4 times. In total we have seen Pantera like 9 times. I guess only a Metal Head can understand the feeling of watching a 5 foot 2 inch lady with her fist in the air screaming the words to "Becoming". So it was no surprise to me when my wife said that this show was her next pick to be uploaded. It is a great representation of Pantera live, although Phil's censored at times.
