Sadly I am not allowed to show the official video release of Cemetery Gates for this reaction due to copyright reasons. And I know, I know I missed the first 1:40 of the studio version which I have since listened to in all its epic glory and was suitably impressed. I don't understand why the opening was never included in the official music video. Time constraints perhaps? Also please forgive the choppy audio, I hate leaving anything out but CZcams is being feisty about certain audio content. Here is a link to the Official music video version: czcams.com/video/RVMvART9kb8/video.html Album version: czcams.com/video/1OYw7FPB7CE/video.html
I think vocally, this is it. There is not a better song to showcase what once was Phil Anselmo's voice. If you're looking for something to vocally punch you in the face, try "Walk". You'll be pumped up to fight a T-Rex at the end of that song.
If you’d like to check out another metal song. The og metal band Black Sabbath, formed in the late 60’s!! Paving the way for all to come. Check out the song sabbath bloody sabbat. Ozzy has always had one of the most unique voices in metal and this song is a good reflection of that. Also bangs super hard! Great video m8 (been a metal head all 21 years of my life you can trust me)
@@javierre 🤣🤣 What a completely random but absolutely hilarious response! ESPECIALLY to Pantera/Phil! First I laughed and then I googled wtf focaccia bread is. 🤷♀️ I guess I'm just a plain ol' Wonder Bread kinda gal. 😁
Very tragic. As a Pantera fan, this tragedy really struck home with me. A few months before this happened, my band played on the same stage and, as the lead guitarist, I was in the same spot where Dimebag was killed at the Al Rosa Villa in Columbus. It really had a profound and sad effect on me. He was definitely legendary, and a good soul.
Richie Young thanks for the correction. I hate hearing Dimebag was killed by a “fan”. With fans like that who needs critics. The dude was a crazed douchebag lunatic.
Darrell Abbott the guitarist died tragically in a shooting. Eddie Van Halen respected him so much that he buried his yellow guitar with Darrell. He was a one of a kind talent. RIP Darrell.
Hernán Salto -Dumb Attempt Productions- oh yeah, that’s right. Rita (Darrell’s longtime love) had requested a replica and Eddie brought the real thing.
Nah Dime: here hold this black tooth grin and I’ll hold mine shoot it back boy it ain’t candy, roach life! Afterwards he’d shoot a firework at the end with gates
I thought yes it is, a ballad just like "This Love". Nothing like a true Pantera ballad. Don't forget "Hollow". Actually might not be your typical ballad
Well he just conjured himself a bit of Hetfield while listening to Phil's vocal style... so fair enough lol not much expectation but he still seems like a nice chill guy
@Sleepy3810 I don't think saying "Dimebag deserves a beating" translates to "Someone needs to jump on stage and kill that motherfucker Dimebag in front of his brother". Kind of a stretch don't you think?🤔
Pantera and Metallica both formed in 1981, but Pantera changed their sound drastically when this record was released. Phil's first record with them was back in 1988.
I think 99% of the people watching any of the Cemetery Gates vocal coach/reaction videos would agree with you...and that's probably a conservative estimate! 😉 There are few things in this world as enjoyable as seeing a person's reaction to hearing that for the first time. 🤤🤗
@@staciehenderson6982 I couldn't agree more. RIP to both Dime and Vinnie... sorry so late on the reply. I got into a reaction for Pantera mood and remembered that Ken did this. Off to some more Pantera tonight!!! Rock on \m/
Phil Anselmo has had *a lot* of different colors to his voice over the years. Check out "Floods" by Pantera if you want to hear him sounding like a dead-ringer for Eddie from Pearl Jam.
Even a clearly educated man, with fine taste in music, cannot resist the draw of the mighty PANTERA! That band serenaded my late teens and most of my 20's.
@@joeyhammer6702 Me too, I’m 14 (almost 15). Last year I was really into hair metal and edm. My dad always listened to this style of metal when I was younger. But it was just recently (maybe almost 2 months ago) when I started really getting into thrash and groove metal, there is no turning back for me! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻☠️☠️☠️🔥🔥
"Oh that's kinda neat! Is he gonna go hi...😮 What the focaccia bread just happened!?"😂😂 I love people's reaction when they first hear the end of this amazing song!
Pantera is my favorite metal band of all time the talent the 4 of them had is one of those magic moments in music history that can't be replicated in his prime Phil Anselmo was one of the best metal singers he had amazing falsetto and could do crazy screams
You might like Alice in Chains (Would? Rooster, Man in a Box), Killswitch Engage (Holy Diver, My Curse), and Jinjer (Pisces, Judgement and Punishment) if you like Pantera. All TECHNICALLY metal, but they can all sing too. Also, Incubus (Wish You Were Here). More rock than metal, but you still might like them too. (Edited because I accidentally posted my comment before I was done writing it, and also to add Incubus.)
I don’t care if he never listened to Pantera ever again, it’s something special seeing the smile come across his face the first time he heard one of Dime’s solos. RIP Dime 🤘🏻
I'm enjoying your insight and discovery of these great singers from music styles that perhaps you have not had much exposure to in the past. Pantera and Tool have both been fixtures in my life since I first heard them in the 90's. If you want to try another truly unique vocal performer, I would strongly recommend the song "Christian Woman" from Type O Negative. They were an amazing goth metal band from Brooklyn, NY, in the 90's, and their lead singer was a 6'7" tall genius named Peter Steele. He had an amazing knack for composition and arrangement, could sing using a bass voice so deep it would crack concrete, mixed with a high falsetto and elements of Gregorian chant, and he was so big he could play an upright bass slung over his shoulder. Christian Woman does a really good job of showing the full versatility of his voice, but there are several versions of the song. The full album cut is like 9 minutes long, but worth every second. It was heavily edited down for its music video, which I would not recommend.
I consider this song a duet. Between Phil's vocals and Dimebag's guitar riffs. They went so well together. So sad that we will never ever have the honor of seeing Pantera perform live again. RIP Dimebag and Vinnie We lost some greats
Just FYI, Metallica formed in 1981 in L.A, while Pantera also formed in 1981 in Arlington, Texas.Both bands were peers and definitely influenced an entire generation of music.
This dude is cool. Musicians analyzing music. Music is nothing simple, and I’d gladly argue that vocals are one of the more difficult sections of a group. Great video. 432hz.
Great reaction Ken. I am sincerely enjoying your content and consider you one of the most insightful reactors on CZcams. I wish you the best of luck on your digital journey and will be there for the long haul. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Phil gradually lost his voice over the years :( Even with the Great Southern Trendkill, his bandmates listened to the first recordings and said he would never be able to sing that live....
I know everyone loves Panteras earlier albums but the great southern trend kill is by far the best album in my opinion. Their other albums have some better songs but from beginning to end its the best.
I was lucky enough to see them in 1997 during the 100 proof tour, when they were touring with Anthrax. Phil's voice is just as amazing live as it was on CD and Dimebag jumped in with anthrax to jam with them. It is one of the best musical memories of my youth.
I saw Pantera 5 times in Colorado USA and they were Absolutely magnificent every time I've seen them. My Favorite Metal Band. 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼 🎼🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁 Rest in Paradise ABBOTT BROTHERS🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🎸
I love Phil, and Pantera, and now I love you! *What the focaccia bread...* Maybe react to his newest project, En Minor, next. Record comes out next month. Warm Sharp Bath Sleep or On the Floor? It's really different stuff. I am also a big fan of Phil's vocals with Down. Try something from Down live at Download 2009.
Pantera. Beasts. It’s awful that we’ll never see them perform again. RIP Dime & Vinnie. I’d love to see you react to Deftones. They are so completely unique in their sound.
One of their live in Moscow performances might be in order. Try "Domination". It's a more typical Pantera song from the same album, which is considered their first "big album", and second with Phil singing if I recall. Prior to Cowboys From Hell they were '80s hair metal, but on that album you can hear the crossover to their southern hardcore/groove metal sound. After that, go for something later, maybe "I'm Broken" or "Drag the Waters". It's also worth listening to Phil speak in an interview because he has a very deep voice that might surprise you coming from him. Finally, no Pantera vid is complete without talking about Dimebag Darrell. Everyone's top 3 guitarist at least (1st for me) , and the sheer sonic power that he and bassist Rex Brown put out together make the quartet sound like twice as many. Vinnie Paul's drumming is distinct and genre-building.
Cool show to watch and enjoy but to have a vocal coach react to that just doesn't make sense, the vocals on that video are trash. Phil just screams, and not in a good way, during that whole song and you can hear how out of breathe he is.... definitely not a live song you want an opinion from a vocal coach on... Unless you are hoping he says the vocals are shit...which they are in this performance.
Never in my life did I ever believe I would get to see a man with a cello behind him appreciate the actual art that is Pantera. I know he was critiquing Phil's vocal which of course blew his mind but the appreciation for Dimebag's legendary riffs and Vinnie Paul's fluidity of timing change. BRAVO!
when you write songs about things that have happened and you know in your life usually have emotion and put them in the music and they make the best like this one.
Check out “This Love” as well for vocal performance! Cool to watch you take a deep listen and hear your quickly thought out takes. I think you could be going off on a lot of other instrumentation than vocals if you wanted to.
@@fede_leiva if he dose it i can not wait 😂😂 coz i wasn't in to deathcore or that type of metal but slaughter to prevail changed my mind completely now im so in to that shit now. Alex vocals are fucking incredible 🤟🤘
Good reaction! I'm not sure about it getting quieter when you speak... It's a little distracting. Not sure if it is full volume on your end but if not I don't want you to miss anything!
Phil was awesome in his prime time. Unfortunatly, if you listen to him today, he's kinda the embodiment of what your voice turns out to be after years of vocal abuses, no training and not taking care of it.
My top picks of great songwriting and vocals for you to review: 1. Black Sabbath "Too late"; 2. Dead Can Dance "Song of the Stars"; 3. Textures "Timeless"; 4. Nevermore "Sentient 6"; 5. Tesseract "Survival"; 6. Manowar "Master of the Wind"; 7. Jeff Loomis "Chosen Time"; 8. Dream Theater "Pull Me Under"; 9. Madder Mortem "Evasions"; 10. Tyr "Mare of my Night"; 11. Rob Halford "Resurrection"; 12. Judas Priest "Painkiller"; 13. Jorn "Out to Every Nation"; 14. Textures "Messengers (acoustic live session); 15. Ninet Tayeb "Vague"; 16. Depeche Mode "Insight"; 17. Chris Cornell "Disappearing One" & "When I'm Down"; 18. Halestorm "I Am the Fire"; 19. Blind Guardian "Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)"; 20. Scott Matthews "Obsession Never Sleeps"; 21. The Gathering "Shrink"; 22. Dio "The Man Who Would Be King" & "As long as it is not about Love"; 23.Type O Negative "Wolf Moon"; 24. Muse "Take a Bow"; 25. Kamelot "Rule the World"; 26. Sinistro "Petalas"; 27. Iron Maiden "Hallowed be Thy Name" and that's it, for now... You won't regret it ;)
Check out their song "power metal" from their eponymous album if you want to see anselmo's chops front & centre. Alot of people dislike this album, because it was before they solidified their style, known as "groove metal" but i think it's a great and very technical album.
MY BROTHER UR DOING PANTERA. UVE GOT TO DO FEAR FACTORY NOW. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! DO SELF BIAS RESISTOR OR POWERSHIFTER OR FEAR CAMPAIGN. PLEASE MY FRIEND. IVE GOT TO SEE WHAT U THINK!!!
Ken, awesome reaction! Phil Anselmo is an excellent vocalist! I think at that time (1990ish) his voice would be classified as a baritone... now, it would be a bass. The last high note sounded like a G5 or so.
You should do the Janis Joplin 'Ball and Chain" at Monterey Pop video. Or, anything from Faith No More's The Real Thing album as others have suggested.
You can't imagine how much I would love you to confront the innovative vocal style of Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation) 'your disposal' live at Party San. No vocal coach has yet! I am dying to see this reaction. All the best, Tom
If you want to hear a higher note, go with Shattered. For lows you want Floods or a song from his new project En Minor, entitled On the Floor. If you want emotional, go with Hollow. If you want balls out aggression and screaming, maybe Living Through Me (Hells Wrath).
Pantera are the heaviest metal band ever. They are known for using the hook as the basis of their songs. Great choice! I love what you do for us. Older Tool please. Swamp song, Undertow or 4 degrees.....
Hey I just discovered your channel and I think what you're doing is great. I love when people who don't listen to metal, listen to metal with the intent of listening to it to evaluate it and are pleasantly surprised by what they find. I like to make a recommendation for a metal listen to, and that is Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth. They are known for being heavy while also being incredibly mellow and beautiful at almost the same time, and Mikael sings in a lot of clean vocals. I'd recommend this video as an example. czcams.com/video/BAlDEcQMLio/video.html

Metallica??? NOT even close lad. Philip Anselmo (pantera) & Sebastian Bach (skid row) are best buds and had same vocal lessons.
Another Pantera song you should DEFINITELY check out is THE SLEEP
Sorry but DRAG THE WATERS has NO vocal epicness of the likes of CEMETERY GATES & THE SLEEP
1990 Phil - His voice has a little rasp to it - Ken
2010 Phil - His rasp has a little voice to it
Sadly yes. 😕
I saw him on slayers farewell tour and honestly I thought he killed it. Definitely not like the pantera days but it wasn't bad by any means
Some where in between his rasp has no voice to it
Yeah, Phil now sounds like a black hole fueled by whisky
He can barely make himself understood when he speaks
“oh that’s pretty neat, is he gonna go highe-“
_”GAAAAAAAAAAAAATESSSSSSS”_
👁👄👁
When Phil said "gyyyaaaaAAAAAAATTTESSS", I felt that...
WHAT THE FOCACCIA BREAD JUST HAPPENED HERE!!
Jahasha
And then the vocal coach understood....
there was no hype. it was an undersell, if anything.

You should hear phils speaking voice, it sounds like a hammer smoked 1000000 cigarettes and gargled with bourbon.
Most accurate thing I've seen on youtube today
I couldn't have said it better....
Haha hahaha
Imagine a conversation between Phil and Tom Waits
😂😂😂 correct
One would say a.... vocal.... display of.....
I'll show myself out
man i was actually hoping for that joke lmao, hella funny pun

I hate you....and all the others who were going to say it. I thought i was being super clever when I thought it up......

Dimebag Darrell is a legendary guitarist!!!Tragically his life was cut short by a crazy fan who shot him while he was performing on stage. RIP
"fan" yeah right lol. Rip dime 🤘🏼

I saw Pantera over 20 times and was supposed to go to the tragic show for Dime but couldn't find a ride from Pittsburgh to Columbus.
I don't think you knew how right you were when you said "guitar vocals."
Bro...and he let it play...and enjoyed it. It's like his spirit knew..."shhh...let the master speak now"...

You treat your stepmother with respect Pantera!

Well he just conjured himself a bit of Hetfield while listening to Phil's vocal style... so fair enough lol not much expectation but he still seems like a nice chill guy

Phil is the guy that every other singer tried to be in the 90's metal scene. That is why it is so indicative of the 90's.
When I close my eyes I hear Paul Rudd reviewing music. Not a knock at all as I have a man crush on him. Love the reviews.

You should react to the song shattered off the same album. His voice goes even higher on it and he sounds more like rob halford from judas priest
Their first big shows were when they opened for Judas Priest in Europe in 91, Phil was a huge fan of Rob Halford
Shattered for sure 🥇
LListen power metal
Definetly my favorite track by them. Phil's vocals on this one is mindblowing and you can feel all emotions through Dimebag's guitar playing!
I consider this song a duet.
Between Phil's vocals and Dimebag's guitar riffs. They went so well together.
So sad that we will never ever have the honor of seeing Pantera perform live again.

This dude is cool. Musicians analyzing music. Music is nothing simple, and I’d gladly argue that vocals are one of the more difficult sections of a group. Great video. 432hz.
The lyrics of "Cemetery Gates" deal with the sorrow of the death of a female lover and the idea of joining her in the afterlife. Incredible song!

My man that is a double bass. Cellos are a bit smaller.
when you write songs about things that have happened and you know in your life usually have emotion and put them in the music and they make the best like this one.
Finally someone who reacts to this. I've BEEN SEARCHING FOR SO LONG ^^ great video
Check out “This Love” as well for vocal performance! Cool to watch you take a deep listen and hear your quickly thought out takes. I think you could be going off on a lot of other instrumentation than vocals if you wanted to.
06:15 - My reaction after hearing every Pantera song for the first time 😅
There isn’t a single person on this planet who doesn’t get giddy and excited during a dimebag solo.
When this album hit. We were never the same. Love them still to this day.
6:17 Ken channels his inner Paul Rudd
Thumbs up for Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher
hell yeah
I said this 1 month ago and still hasn't done it
It's about time, Ken! Prepare yourself to be demolished 🤯
@@fede_leiva if he dose it i can not wait 😂😂 coz i wasn't in to deathcore or that type of metal but slaughter to prevail changed my mind completely now im so in to that shit now. Alex vocals are fucking incredible 🤟🤘
The amount of pleasure in his face during Dimebag solo's is amazing!
THAT guitar solo replayed at the end of your video is killing it!!!
More Devin Townsend and try some Mike Patton!
Good reaction! I'm not sure about it getting quieter when you speak... It's a little distracting. Not sure if it is full volume on your end but if not I don't want you to miss anything!
It's due to copyright.
xVDRx sounds like bullshit cause everyone else just pauses and will say what they wanna say then press play again 🙄
@@cmdrdredd which he does at multiple points in the video. He also apologizes for the choppy audio levels which he said was due to copyright.
That final high note battle is one of the greatest things to ever happen.
You are one of the few reviewers on CZcams who knows what you are talking about. Thank you.
Phil was awesome in his prime time. Unfortunatly, if you listen to him today, he's kinda the embodiment of what your voice turns out to be after years of vocal abuses, no training and not taking care of it.

Aaryan Rana 👍🏻
I love the way he goes full Irish when Phil hits the first top note at the end 😂😂
R.I.P. Vinny Paul & Dimebag Darrell Abbott, Brothers in arms and back together again in Heaven. You both are sorely missed.
Check out their song "power metal" from their eponymous album if you want to see anselmo's chops front & centre.
Alot of people dislike this album, because it was before they solidified their style, known as "groove metal" but i think it's a great and very technical album.
MY BROTHER UR DOING PANTERA. UVE GOT TO DO FEAR FACTORY NOW. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! DO SELF BIAS RESISTOR OR POWERSHIFTER OR FEAR CAMPAIGN. PLEASE MY FRIEND. IVE GOT TO SEE WHAT U THINK!!!
you'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.
Poor Burton blew out his voice as well afaik. But yeah, my teen years were mostly me blasting Pantera, Sepultura and Fear Factory out of my speakers.
Awesome Reaction.... Classic Metal Song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ken, awesome reaction! Phil Anselmo is an excellent vocalist! I think at that time (1990ish) his voice would be classified as a baritone... now, it would be a bass. The last high note sounded like a G5 or so.
He was 18 on Power Metal when it was recorded in late 86-87.
His vocals are out of his world
You should do the Janis Joplin 'Ball and Chain" at Monterey Pop video. Or, anything from Faith No More's The Real Thing album as others have suggested.
I've decided to change my most used swear words to Ken Lavigne quotes 🖤
Pantera is from my town. Arlington/Fort Worth Texas 💪🏻
You can't imagine how much I would love you to confront the innovative vocal style of Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation) 'your disposal' live at Party San. No vocal coach has yet! I am dying to see this reaction. All the best, Tom
please, react to anything of faith no more or mike patton, i really like to ear you opinion about him
Could you please check out the band Blind Melon and either the song Mouth full of Cavities or the song Soul One.
One of the best bands ever
If you want to hear a higher note, go with Shattered. For lows you want Floods or a song from his new project En Minor, entitled On the Floor. If you want emotional, go with Hollow. If you want balls out aggression and screaming, maybe Living Through Me (Hells Wrath).
Pantera are the heaviest metal band ever. They are known for using the hook as the basis of their songs. Great choice! I love what you do for us. Older Tool please. Swamp song, Undertow or 4 degrees.....
Phil *had* range. I don't know if he could pull those high notes off today.
Hey I just discovered your channel and I think what you're doing is great. I love when people who don't listen to metal, listen to metal with the intent of listening to it to evaluate it and are pleasantly surprised by what they find. I like to make a recommendation for a metal listen to, and that is Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth. They are known for being heavy while also being incredibly mellow and beautiful at almost the same time, and Mikael sings in a lot of clean vocals. I'd recommend this video as an example. czcams.com/video/BAlDEcQMLio/video.html
Great job on this classic song. Thankyou.
The whole band were monsters, all equally amazing
Please do the band Type O Negative, song Love You to Death. An incredible bottom end rock singer. Extremely bottom end.
This was an edited version. There is an excellent intro that was cut out
I believe the music video cuts it out, and the studio versions keep it in
"Well, thats kinda neat!"
I don't think I've ever heard that in a discussion about Pantera before but great reaction!
your reactions really are the best, man
It sounds like you grabbed a shortened version there's a longer intro.
when you order conan o’brien from wish
The song shattered is another Pantera song with great vocals
Happy Birthday Dime!
