27 comments so far (post your own)It's absurd to say Pantera 'brought back' metal in the '90s, because metal never truly went away, and half of the 'alternative' artists were really heavy metal bands at heart - Tool, AIC, Soundgarden, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, Faith No More - while certain other explicitly metal acts remained successful at least to some degree into the decade. Even Grunge/alt-rock groups that leaned decidedly toward more punk or classic or rock - like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins - still had metal roots that were obvious in their music. However, Pantera chose to embrace the metal tag, and were the most explicitly metal band of their time. Dimebag's guitar playing is for the ages, and reason enough to induct Pantera. But, I don't see it ever happening. Posted by Sunking278 on Wednesday, 04/24/2013 @ 07:11am |
Heinous oversight but so many tremendous metal bands are overlooked that they won't get in for another decade, if ever. Phil Anselmo and Dimebag did brilliant things. If Pantera ever played with a guest guitarist at the show (I'd suggest Scott Ian) they would blow everybody else off the stage and cause half the attendees to piss their pants.

Come on HOF get your heads out of your asses. Who put these tool bags in charge anyway? Posted by Mike Lawson on Wednesday, 09/11/2013 @ 12:24pm |
Pantera definitely deserve to be inducted. They had a swagger matched by none. If you think they didnt carry metal and attitude throughout the 90s you either werent alive or old enough to see it or you simply werent paying attention. They are absolutely innovators of extreme music. you truly missed something special if you didnt get to see them live. They purposely took struggling/unpopular metal bands that deserved to our attention on tour with them and they didnt give a shit what anyone thought. Dimebag changed the way extreme music could be played, if that makes sence. No one can play like him. He had soul and feeling in his riffs and solos, ya he still played solos when alot of bands found it uncool. Listen to the solos on songs like the sleep or floods. Anselmo changed the way vocals and even lyrics were used in metal. That dude is the metal frontman template. They should be inducted now, but i can see it taking a few years.

RIP Vinnie Paul Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 06/23/2018 @ 01:40am |
Vinnie died peacefully in his sleep. I just thank God he wasn’t in pain when this happened. #Panteraforthehalloffame Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 06/23/2018 @ 15:53pm |
Okay, I would like to extend my most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Vinnie Paul, I am certain that he will be missed. :-( Posted by Enigmaticus on Sunday, 06/24/2018 @ 08:13am |

Did ya know there’s an edited, instrumental version of “Death Rattle” from Pantera’s last studio album, Reinventing the Steel? It was used on Spongebob Squarepants, for “Pre-Hibernation Week” episode. Posted by The Dude on Tuesday, 11/27/2018 @ 17:13pm |

Dude, saw Phil's set at LTL! Really enjoyed it. Had a big crowd & all were entertained. Mr. Anselmo was very appreciative of the crowd & their reaction to his covering of Pantera songs. Sure glad I saw them. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 10/17/2019 @ 10:11am |

Pantera and Dimebag with Vinny are a sound that will never be duplicated. Of course they should be in there!!! Posted by Shredder on Thursday, 04/22/2021 @ 14:44pm |
Look just the name PANTERA evokes a certain mentality. Posted by Brandon on Saturday, 05/8/2021 @ 18:09pm |
Dime alone should be enough to get them in. Enough said. Plus, they were one of the few metal bands to hit it big in the 90s alongside grunge acts. Posted by JDL on Sunday, 08/8/2021 @ 18:09pm |
This is a f!cking joke right!? Wow, says alot about the voting!? Posted by Tim on Tuesday, 12/28/2021 @ 18:11pm |
PanterA saved Metal and single handedly carried the flag loud and proud for a decade. They should already be in the Hall of Fame. Posted by Christopher Brown on Sunday, 02/13/2022 @ 16:06pm |
To say Dime was the best since Hendrix is a little off there style of music is completely different completely different day and age . If you look at Dime as the completely package with his heart and soul the way he lived his life treated fans just look at every aspect of Dime ... Nothing comes close to Dime he broke the mold . Then you put the rest of the band behind Dime which is unbelievable PANTERA was and still is unstoppable the band deserves to be in the hall without a question. There style of music gets no respect and the peopel the does the voting im sure not one of them has plaid an instrument in there whole lives. Its sad but true and it needs to be changed let the fans have some say in it and without a doubt PANTERA would be in the hall for sure RIP. DIME AND VINCE you guys are very missed .

I can proudly say that I watched Pantera play in small clubs in Dallas. Spoke with him many times. What a beautiful soul , if only we could all be more like Dime . What a great place this could be. I think about the brothers often. I for one truly miss then . Posted by Dave Damage on Monday, 09/12/2022 @ 22:05pm |
Pantera was the best thing for Rock and Roll since Black Sabbath. These guy went heavy and stayed true to the core. Posted by Sidneey on Wednesday, 10/19/2022 @ 15:35pm |
never gonna happen. on top of the halls tendency to leave out metal, pantera must be low on the pecking order. they never broke into the mainstream, and compared to the mass appeal of iron maiden and Megadeth, and the iconicity of Motorhead and Dio, Pantera have a considerably worse shot. adding onto this, their imagery is gonna be a problem, sure Skynyrd used confederate flags too, but that's panteras entire image, from dime bags guitar to all their merch. there's no way the hall would want to risk that, which could wind up a pr nightmare. Anselmo's penchant for controversial remarks doesn't help at all either. if morrisseys controversy can leave the smiths on the outs, pantera aren't getting in Posted by Will M on Wednesday, 01/11/2023 @ 10:12am |
IMO they are the greatest metal band of all time. Will they ever get inducted? I don't know, but I hope they do one day. Posted by Henry on Thursday, 01/12/2023 @ 19:50pm |
