Still don’t care. Pantera is blight for many other reasons. People who believe in a binary morality strike me as having oversimplified life to an extreme. I would also caution against taking anything this band did or said seriously; after all, they started as a bad glam band until they figured out how to rip off Metallica and Exhorder. Life is more nuanced than people want, however. God is dead, but spirituality is alive, and the AFD is winning in Germany for some reason other than that people are “evil.”

I don’t care about his political beliefs.

I do care that he ruined speed metal by making it into groove metal, that Pantera is for morons, and that his music generally is dumb as ass.

This is a live radio play making fun of him in the style of Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” (and Dickens can make fun reading, if you have the time).

Most of metal is far more un-PC than the Nazis and far less tolerant of idiots. Pantera belong in the camps for being idiots that sell garbage music to idiots.

You know, like Opeth, Tool, Cradle of Filth, Korn, Stryper, Cannibal Corpse, and the like…

Eh, too simplistic an answer, I think, given the longstanding flirtation.

Heartily agreed. This one is my favorite, but other early material was interesting as well.

They made prog into an aggro art form!
