The Great Southern Trendkill
Floods

Of course i could do better, there’s no “Fucking Hostile” or “Cemetery Gates”!!!!!!!! how can you miss that out?

also floods would be a welcome option

Destroying Dignity

i know i already commented on the other pantera story, but this is just a record label cash in!

reinventing hell contained most of the band’s best songs and can be bought for a fiver most of the time,plus all of the studio albums are frequently on sale. most fans will own all the albums already so there’s really no need for another best of

p.s i know u picked 3 tracks per album, but no cemetery gates? blasphemy!!!

I think you nailed it guys

Cowboys from Hell
Psycho Holiday
Domination
Fucking Hostile
This Love
Live In A Hole
Becoming
5 Minutes Alone
I’m Broken (or just put in the whole FBD album)
Drag The Waters
Floods
Sandblasted Skin
Goddamn Electric
Yesterday Don’t Mean Shit
Revolution Is My Name

krasherr

reiventing hell is good enough, no point in another compilation that nobody will buy.

where’s fucking hostile, cemetery gates and floods?

Bassman

HOW COULD YOU MISS OFF CEMETERY GATES?????!!!!!!!

Woodhouse

nah, i’d be more likely to buy it if it had a rarities disc or live DVD but as others have said reinventing hell will do me for a compilation.

Errr no Cemetery Gates=fail. I know It’s hard to pick but anyone can tell that Gates is far better than Heresy and Domination. Rise would be low down on my Vulgar list, This Love and Fucking Hostile would definitely come ahead of that.

This will be shit. Don’t get me wrong, will be a fucking fantastic 60 or so minutes of metal, but WHO THE FUCK cares about Pantera that doesn’t own all of it anyway? Stick a DVD onto it and it could be a winner.

The Real Ollie

Good, apart from you’re missing;
Slaughtered, Sandblasted Skin, A New Level, Cemetary Gates, Fucking Hostile, Hollow, No Good (Attack The Radical) : D

Solictice

Cowboys, Domination, Cemetary, Rise, Walk, Suicide note pt2. Which means i can’t choose…

And the whole Official Live proof Album ofcourse. They played every good song on that.

there is no such thing as Pantera`s best of!
the closest thing is “All Pantera`s songs”
\m/ (-_-) \m/

Ummmm you are missing Cemetary Gates guys!!!

A Pantera best of would be 80 minutes of silence with a short message explaining that the best of Pantera is the silence between their songs, all of which is compiled here.

Moshtank

Here are my favorite songs….
1.A New level
2.Walk
3.Cemetery Gates
4.Mouth For War
5.Cowboys From Hell
6.Fucking Hostile
7.Suicide Note Part 1
8.Fucking Hostile
9.Hollow
10.Rise
11.Primal Concrete Sledge
12.I’m Broken

Thrillkill

No gates or hostile? Fuck me.

Hammer, where the fuck is cemetery gates?!

Yeah or Fucking Hostile and this love!

I’d want The Badge on there

toilet face

They released a ‘Best of’ CD some years back…Nowadays a ‘best of’ is just a torrent anyway.

The best of Pantera???? Well for me the best of Pantera looks like that:
Cowboys from hell
Vulgar display of power
Far beyond driven
The great southern trendkill
Reinventing the steel

all in one massive box set with full live dvd included…that will do:)

^Steve^ Good call, Id forgotten how great the “The Badge” cover they did was!
And as for MH list….Your no h/c Pantera fan as everyone here seems to of gathered by omitting:
Cemetery Gates, Primal Concrete Sledge, Hollow, This Love, Drag The Waters….

J_Priest

At the risk of some ridicule I’d suggest putting together a best of including some of the Power Metal material, while not exactly what we are used to, it’s still miles better than alot of the crap that bands produce today. And yeah, no Floods or Cemetary Gates? what were you smoking this when you wrote that list?

Destroying Dignity

lets face it, pantera were awesome (still are) and no single cd can do justice to their legacy!

@relph. you’re a dickhead!

there is no “This Love”

Cowboys From Hell
Primal Concrete Sledge
Heresy
Domination
Cemetery Gates
Mouth For War
Fucking Hostile
Walk
Hollow
By Demons Be Driven
5 Minutes Alone
I’m Broken
Becoming
Throes Of Rejection
Drag The Waters
Floods
Suicide Note Pt 1. and Pt 2
13 Steps To Nowhere
This Love
Revolution Is My Name
Goddamn Electric
Cat Scratch Fever

Spanner

where the fuck is The Art of Shredding?!

Just another home video either of pantera, or more of the dime-esque shit! That’ll do me, pantera deserve nothing more than for every1 to buy their entire back catalogue!!!

I`d go with Dingo`s setlist but with The Art Of Shredding in there aswell

Even though I already have Reinventing The Steel…..why are they bringing out another one? :S

acht well its Pantera songs so i cant complain

DIMEBAG DIMEBAG DIMEBAG!!!!!!!!!!!

Joebass

@ rElph

Who the fuck are you mate? the last few comments I’ve seen you write have been pointless metal bashing comments (as in saying shit about legendary metal bands! what the fuck music do you like then?)

Gotta agree with most people when they say the reinveting hell already has everything you need, plus the one I have has all the music videos and I got it for £5 plus the pantera home videos have live stuff, and I got all the best albums!! So why the hell would I buy this??!!

nailmann

fucking hostile and this love has to go on there. actually just re issue vulgar display.. cause thats a serious album.. ya got to agree with joebass. have all there stuff so i wont be gettin any more greatest hits stuff. so ya re issue vulgar display.

KARMALENER

These might not all be the typical ‘Classics’ and very few singles are on here, but for me these are Pantera’s defining songs:

Primal Concrete Sledge
Cemetery Gates
Domination
Mouth For War
This Love
Hollow
Strength Beyond Strength
Becoming
Use Of My Third Arm
The Great Souther Trend Kill
Suicide Note pt 1
Suicide Note pt 2

You’ve Got To Belong To It
Uplift

That would be a good introduction.

TomithyTTomilson

for pantera aficinado’s, The hits just aren’t enough. For me Anyway. I hate the best of format, showcasing the same songs that everyone’s heard. amd starting at the start of their carrer and finishing at the end. granted all those songs are killer but how about making so we mix the order of the songs, and put the real best songs by the band.
Slaughtered
war nerve
regular people
Godamn Electric
floods
fucking hostile
the art of shredding
I’ll cast a shadow
heresy
Shedding skin
Hells Wrath
The great southern trendkill
Throes of rejection
revolution is my name
use my third arm
domination
a new level etc etc etc.
I think this is a small but good representation of what pantera truly offered us in the metal community.

TomithyTTomilson

I forgot suicide note part II and yesterday don’t mean shit. I have just realized its an impossible task unless you released a 5 disc box set…

You don’t need a boxset… they usually have them all in HMV anyway xD

LOL at all the faggots making their own lists. nobody gives a fuck. MH people don’t even read the replies. idiots.

anyway this is a stupid post because there’s already a Pantera “best of” CD and the new is just another record company cash in for the gullible suckers.

Destroying Dignity

this album is getting slaughtered (pardon the pun) in america. apparently over there this is only being released by walmart (which would be like tesco or asda), only has 10 tracks and has all the swearing cut out!!!

i sincerely hope the band has nothing to do with this, what happened to ‘against the grain american metal’?

Laurence

I get a feeling cemetary gates should have been included in MH’s list, though I’m not sure everyone here agrees :p

Cemetery Gates !?!?!?
Floods !!??!!?
Fucking Hostile !?!?!?

apart from these misses, that’s a pretty fine list you guys got up there..

Not one of you idiots mentioned “Hard lines, Sunken Cheeks” one of their best.

Yes shame on you metalhammer for not adding Cemetry Gates, Fucken Hostile & Floods.

Alcapwned444

cemetary gates and this love HAVE to be in that

mallett!

pretty sure its already been said but got all the albums shit loads of live footage all the music vids and put it all together in one big boxset and tht will b greatest hits coz all the songs are so god damn good!

I want them to re-release the 3 Pantera Videos in One deluxe edition DVD disc include all their Music Videos, a complete behind the scenes history on Pantera, interviews and of Course an entire live concert or two. Package should look like a jack daniels label

king of heavy metal

StraightOuttaThrace

Screw another best of.

A ‘Soundtrack to the Apocalypse’/'Warchest’ style package would be excellent. Every album, rarities, live footage, the whole kit and kaboodle.

My Pantera ‘Best Of’ would definitely be a double CD!

TheLevy

didnt they already have one of these put out a few years ago?

TheLevy

wasnt a similiar cd put out a few years ago? if you dont already have the songs their putting on the cd then your a failure. and as far as this greatest hits cd goes its all about the money, lets go pay another 13 bucks for a cd with a bunch of songs we already heard. Pantera is/was/and will be one of the best metal bands ever but this is just proof that agents are worthless money loving s.o.b.s
