[kj] Pantera (WAS: 1000 SUNS Outside Gate and PHANTASMAGORIA)

[Alexander Smith]

Pantera -- despite Phil Anselmo being a giant-sized asshole -- made  
great music.

Stop worrying about whether they're "punk" or "metal" or whatever.  
Get out of the hair salon!!!!

And the mourning for Dimebag is fairly genuine and justified. By all  
accounts, he was a good man, an innovator on his instrument, and  
killed in a senseless way.
