Yeah. I never cared for Hellyeah, though.

I know Pantera were a very polarising band, and yes it sucks they're very highly influential for nu metal and core bands, but by that logic I should hate the Beatles and The Rolling Stones for being indirectly responsible for 90% of the crappy pop and rock bands out there. Pantera had pretty cool songs. Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar Display of Power were my favourite studio albums of theirs.

We're taking over this town
