Look, I don't hate Pantera, and maybe this partly has to do with the fact that because I live near Dallas I constantly have this band rammed down my throat by everyone around here, but I'm just getting tired of this huge constant infatuation with them. They're alright, but because Dimebag died they get friggin Tupac status in the metal world. Oh and I've never gotten into Down.

Ok i can understand that completely.
I've been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you

wrong they were gigantic before dimebag died....its sure they gained more mainstream coverage with his death....but i am so sick of people blaming there metal status on the fact that dime was killed
maybe towards the mainstream media and to kids who learned to like metal because of slipknot and limp bizkit......to true metal fans they were gigantic way before he died....but yeah it is kinda annoying

Yeah by no means am I trying to say that they became popular because of this, the infatuation has just kinda overstayed its welcome. I can understand if a band like Hellyeah wants to mention them, or maybe a band paying tribute around the anniversary of his death, but almost every single concert here has some mentioning of Pantera, even the sceney shows, and kids go crazy like they were lifelong fans. Oh and I'll never forget this gem that happened right in front of me during Mayhem:
yeah...its not jammed down my throat like it is yours so i can understand the way you feel lol...i do get annoyed with the whole mention it at every concert thing...i wouldn't mind it with Machine head seems as they toured with them and what not....but 5fdp and shit you know

As a lifelong pantera fan, as well as being originally from Oklahoma (where they are just as over talked about) I can agree with this statement....LOVE the band and their contribution to metal, but Dimebag's "RIP" shit has been fetishized.....
