    It's not much of a secret that Pantera used to be a glamish heavy metal band in the 80s- and a damn good one at that. Just linking a few old school vids you might enjoy. Fans of Dokken, Def Leppard, Crue, Priest, etc.- this should be right up your alley!

    Meet the band! (Circa 1985)

    We'll Meet again (198 8) - IMO Their best song- Phil had joined as lead singer at this point.

    Widowmaker

    Hot 'N Heavy

    All over Tonite/Like Fire (Live '84)

    Pantera is one of my favorite bands. I like some of those songs. Power Metal is a pretty good album and Phil sounds damn good on it. However I still love the Pantera in the 90's. Heavy shit and I believe kept metal alive. R.I.P. Dimebag

    Are you sure dude?

    There are enough vids here that say that they were once glam/hair. Dimebag has his own signature guitars and amps. What have you got?

    Power Metal is arguably my favourite album of all time, definately the record I've listened to most. Phil's vocals were excellent on Power Metal and Cowboys from Hell, I guess his voice diminished somewhat from all the abuse. Vulgar Display is alright, but much of the later stuff isn't really my bag.

    Terrence Lee/Glaze was an excellent frontman and went on to front Lord Tracy. I've only heard a couple of their tunes, but from what I've heard- good stuff.

    I've never seen Pantera as a hair metal band. But it's no secret that they DID keep metal alive in the 90s & some of the 00s. I saw them twice at OzzFest and once on their own and I love their stuff, hair/glam metal or not. And I DO think it's a shame that Dimebag got shot in the head five times, cause whether he was glam or not, I liked his style and personality. He seemed like he was a fun guy. And if you saw me introduce myself a couple days ago, you know that I DO like other music. Maybe I'm not exactly glam by everyone's standards, but I do believe I am metal 'til I die!

    I never cared for their 90s and on material but the first four Glam albums are some of my favorites.

    Pantera, I love their 90s stuff but hate the 80s cheese. They are better suited to 90s metal cos they did it so well!

    As for brothers Dimebag and Vinnie - they made an awesome combination.

    Pantera rules. I dunno if I am a big fan of their 80s stuff,think it is kinda weak in some bits & quite amateur. Their best work was the 90s wth Dimebag shredding it hard on guitar & Phil's vocals especially on the Cowboys album really sounded fantastic. But as a glam band I thought they failed
