	Jay	BLYTHE ALL THE WAY!!!! Phil use to be glam... teased hair, spandex pants, should I say more? anybody ever herd of the album power meta? lol, pantera was a joke until Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth showed them what real metal is...   Posted by Jay on April 6, 2009 - Monday - 7:34 PM [Reply to this]

	Corey[m0UTH] Corey White	Alright. First off Jay, I heard the power metal Pantera, and that is a personal opinion you have there, because I think it was good, so fuck off calling them a joke, because anything Dime touches is fucking golden and the majority of people here would agree. Also, don't go saying Those thrash bands get all the credit for what they became[and I love Slayer so no insult to them]. Although those bands heavy sound helped them shape their change, they are by no means thrash, they were groove. Dime theory style didn't change at all. Kevin, in response to your comment, Phil Anselmo is actually one of the coolest guys in the world, the only time he can be hit with the being an ass insult is when he was on drugs due to his back problem. Now that I have responded to two comments I was not content with, I will give my opinion on the two vocalists. I love both of them, and all of their projects. My personal favorite would be Phil, due to Pantera. In screaming, it is no contest that Randy is superior. But Phil however, has a very large range of vocal styles he uses, all of which he is very skilled with. This includes singing, refer to CFH for best example, growling and rough lows, refer to VDOP for best example. And his screaming style very nice as well, GSTK for best example. In the end, it is a rather close race, me siding with Phil as a previosly stated. But both are amazing vocalists, and no doubt extremely important in metal music, also both great live frontmen. And in a fight Phil would whip ass haha. To agree with everyone else, Phil had nothing to do with Dimebags death, that's bullshit. Rest in Peace brother Dime, your legacy lives on.   Posted by Corey[m0UTH] on April 6, 2009 - Monday - 8:24 PM [Reply to this]

	Zombie	Although being quite the Lamb of God fan myself, I'd have to say that Randy Blythe can't hold a fucking candle to Phillip Anselmo. Although I do think he could beat the shit out of him..   Posted by Zombie on April 6, 2009 - Monday - 11:37 PM [Reply to this]

	Jay	Hey corey, go choke on a dick... Pantera only covered about 10 metallica songs, hmmm... wonder if that means anything? And there almost was NO pantera... Dime tried out for megadeth right before phil joined the band. Dave Mustain was going to let dime play for him, but dime said that Vinnie had to came with him. Dave pretty much just laughed at the idea and told him he already had a drummer. Then he went and got a guitarist that could destroy dime, MARTY "fUCKIN" FRIEDMAN. Dime was alright, the only reason you hillbillys in like him so damn much is because he never took a shower and he had nappy ass hair. But you should think of the good ole days when he was SOLD OUT. with the teased hair and spandex singin about suckin dick and takin it in the ass. and lastly the big "four" bands in the 80's that helped sculpt the metal of today is Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. Pantera's first "metal" album was 1990... cowboys from hell   Posted by Jay on April 7, 2009 - Tuesday - 3:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Ghost and the Machine	Shit. All this in-fighting makes me question your dedication to all that is metal. To answer the question at hand: Randy definitely wins the scream award. On his recent stuff. Some of the earlier recordings were absolute shit. Phil is a better vocalist overall, with the ability to both scream and sing, and do it LIVE to boot (I caught Pantera on tour before they split, amazing show). While I've never personally seen Lamb of God or Halo of Locusts live, I've seen live videos on the internet and know that Randy's voice is over-processed in the studio. He does have a great scream though. In a fight? Who cares? They're both pretty nuts. They both have about the same build. I don't really think they would ever be in a situation where they would throw down. But if they did, I'd have to go with Randy. Still, neither one can hold a candle to Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth. Growling, screaming, singing, he owns the both of them. Maybe not in a fight, but I bet George Fisher from Cannibal Corpse would wail on them and not even break a sweat. Oh, and Jay, you're a complete greg-bag for that whole argument you just had. This was a simple question, and you had to go interjecting your personal opinion about the history of metal (which isn't even relevant) and dragging both Pantera's and Dime's name through the mud. Then you go insulting Pantera fans by calling them Hillbillies? What the fuck? Really? Are you that immature and into labels that you had to go and insult other metal-heads with a childish comment about greasy hair and poor hygiene? Grow the fuck up and get over yourself. Yeah, Pantera STARTED OUT as a hair-metal band. But they learned. They got better as musicians, and evolved. Dime was an excellent guitarist, not because of his technique, but because of his STYLE. He definitely wasn't a slouch, and it's granted that Fucking Friedman may be "technically" superior, but he influenced an entire generation of guitar players. Friedman can't take credit for that.   Posted by Ghost and the Machine on April 8, 2009 - Wednesday - 9:12 PM [Reply to this]

	Zombie	'Greg-Bag'!? I think I may just like you, Sean. hah!!!   Posted by Zombie on April 11, 2009 - Saturday - 1:07 PM [Reply to this]

	Jay	Yes Ghost, Panterd DID start out GLAM. But did Metallica, Slayer or megadeth? I don't think so... I simply started out with the argument that Randy would crush phil in a vocal contest. And I thought It was gay that pantera was EVER glam rock, but I guess most pantera fans tend to ignore that part of their past because It isn't cool right now. Dime may have influenced more people then friedman, but who do you think influenced dime? Hetfield, Hammett, Mustain? and who the hell has opeth influenced? you? Lamb of god and pantera have far greater influence, no matter how much "technically better" opeths singer is. I never said I hated pantera, but the pantera fags need to get the shit straight. I do agree that George fisher would destroy everyone tho...   Posted by Jay on April 9, 2009 - Thursday - 1:08 PM [Reply to this]

Where's the nearest blunt object...   Posted by AineDynae on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 4:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Jay	Pantera WAS an influential band, I have not denied that... Metallica has a much more massive appeal of influence tho... who has sold more albums? won more grammys? made more money? do you really think Metallica, sitting in their mansions give a fuck what ass holes like you really have to say? The "poser" is the person who likes a band because they "think" it is cool to do so... how do you get from Phil to Randy? Phil use to sing like a girl and wear tight spandex... then he herd the Master of puppets album, he started wearing jeans... and he still kept singing high pitch, while randy is a consistant screamer... I don't see the transition, but you guys can label is as such to make your side look cooler. My ONLY point is that Metallica isn't such a sell out after all, they never was OVER THE TOP with a style, a fashion, a TREND, as pantera was. oh and I did see that Metallica had an ENTIRE guitar hero dedicated to them, and pantera only had cowboys from hell? lol, they do not compare in any way do they? Pantera covered many Metallica songs right? Did Metallica ever cover a Pantera song? pay your respect to the masters, just like pantera did... bow bitches   Posted by Jay on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 4:21 PM [Reply to this]

	Jebus	metallica hasn't written anything good in over a decade. i agree that some kind of monster was a huge pile of dog shit that somebody dropped on my front door step. PANTERA is twice the band that metallica ever dreamed of being, but they never sold out. so of course metallica is more popular. anyways, back to the question. After all the years of thrashing his vocal chords Phil would lose to Randy in a screaming match. though if you could rewind time Phil would kick Randy's ass at screaming and singing. the fist fight would be a joke!!!! Phil wins hands down. i've been in a mosh pit with Randy, he's not a fighter. Finally, no way did Phil have anything to do with dime's death. that was all some delusional fuck who lived in some far off place in his own mind and thought that dime was stealing his music. and i sincerely hope that every metal heads spirit is pissing on that guys soul in hell these days and fucking him with splintered bossal wood!!!!   Posted by Jebus on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 10:06 PM [Reply to this]

	B. Bobby Fitzpatrick	I think Phil and Randy are equally talented. They both are fucking brutal vocalists. But as for the Phil having anything to do with Dime's death, I highly doubt it. Dimebag's death was not only highly ironic, but also really fucking stupid. R.I.P Dime. And btw, awesome blog. You guys sure do know how to start a good debate. KEEP ROCKIN.   Posted by B. on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 10:06 PM [Reply to this]

	Jay	I'm not even touchin the whiskey for breakfast comment, but I do have job and i'm not aware of your employment situation. and tell me how metallica changed to fit a scene? describe it to me, they cut their hair? And just because your old, doesn't make you more wise on the subject. chistopher columbus "discovered" america, even tho people was living here. before I was "shittin solid" too. And look at corey, i'm pretty damn sure most of us is older then him. so your pretty much sayin his words mean shit to the convorsation as well. I've watched the movie some kind of monster, are you mad because they are real people or because they are not the "real people" you want them to be? I wish there was a good documentary on pantera, that was unbiased, and dove knee deep in that glam rock bullshit. the "trend" here seems to be pantera, am I really just another sheep in the herd? or are you guys the fuckin herd???   Posted by Jay on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 10:07 PM [Reply to this]

	Rippy Rip Mojo	Randy can scream his ass off, in a fist fight Id say Randy, cuz Phil is older and that dude is short, i got to meet him and im 5'10" and i thought phil was tall, hes short lil dude, like 5'5" maybe, and Randy is tall so randy would have the reach, just dont get him drunk before the fight, he he he   Posted by Rippy on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 10:07 PM [Reply to this]

	I'm gone Jaime Loves Jay Conklin	hey Zombie cunt, quit flirting with Jay. He is my tool! First off pantera was glam, everyone is admitting this? what is the problem if metallica has a guitar hero game and a comercial where they look like they do on stage? they didn't glam up for the comercial like pantera would have back in the day. this argument is weak, ignore the glam pantera because it only consisted of 7 years of the band!!! bands are ALLOWED to grow, mature and evolve their style. but pantera sold out from the start! tryin to make that quick pay day, but they weren't selling shit. so they started running down the beaten path made by the real speed/thrahers of the 80's. It would be the same if Lamb of God started out as bon Jovi, then went to where they are now.... I'd hope that kind of tranformation would be brought up and discussed and people SHOULD look down upon it. So keep talkin shit about Metallica, we all know who the reall sell outs are here   Posted by I'm gone on April 15, 2009 - Wednesday - 10:07 PM [Reply to this]

	Zombie	I'm going to take the high road here, and instead of going off on a complete tangent about how ignorant you are, and how all you're doing is regurgitating your boy's words (who's the sheep there?), and just tell you to be very careful about who you call a cunt, and why.

	Jebus	exactly. i completely agree with trevor. hetfield hasn't been able to sing since he blew his vocal chords. not that he was that great of a vocalist before. and lars sux cock for a living. and yes pantera started out doing some pop 80's hair band metal, but then they got smart and changed their style. and as i remember, phil wasnt their original lead singer. i may be wrong on that tho. back then the hair metal was what everybody was doing though. thrash was little heard of so i don't see how they were sell outs. as for height and reach, having met both guys on a couple of occaisions, randy is definately shorter than phil and a lot bigger build. and the guys from lamb of god might have a younger band, but they r not young. i do love both bands and am a huge fan of pantera and lamb of god. i also love all of both bands side projects and have seen every one of them live. both guys are great frontmen, unlike hetfield. did u see their performance for the induction into the hall of fame? horrible vocals!!!! and megadeath started out as a band to destroy metallica because they kicked out dave mustaine. and as for the covers coments jay. bands only cover songs for two reasons, to pay omage or to do a better job of it than the original. which do u think it was u lil' dueche bag. most of the metallica covers i've ever heard were better than metallica's versions.   Posted by Jebus on April 16, 2009 - Thursday - 2:33 AM [Reply to this]

	DarkEvilPhotos	I would have to go with Randy he totally kicks ass onstage and off stage. I have met him and interviewed him a few times and he is a good guy. A little crazy sometimes but now that he has quit drinking he isnt so crazy anymore.....in the fight it would be a good one, Phil is bigger but I have seen Randy fight too. So it is hard to say who would win. And Pantera was a great band, Dime was a god on guitar, but Phil is one of the biggest DICKS out there. Vinnie Paul is awesome which I have met and hung out with. Metallica is some of the biggest sell outs...my son always says they lost there power in the music scene when they cut their hair...lol. That is about when they started sucking. I do have the game because I have all the other guitar heros. Randy has better stage energy and presence. I would go with Randy Blythe hands down.     Posted by DarkEvilPhotos on May 5, 2009 - Tuesday - 1:07 PM [Reply to this]
