Phil Anselmo is a classic case of a little guy overcompensating for his perceived "shortcomings". The misplaced anger, his juvenile junkie/daddy issue/self-pitying lyrics, the ridiculous tough-guy posturing, total Napoleon syndrome.
Plus, he's an idiot. Watch him deliver one of his classic stage rants & you can actually see the empty thought bubble form over his head.
Dimebag Darrell was a fine guitar player, sure, but seriously, it was mostly just a heavier take on the typical Zakk Wylde/Skid Row-style squiggery with some hillbilly thrown in for flavor. All this fawning praise like he was Ritchie Blackmore or something is silly.
Pantera's biggest influence was on shirtless dudes with Confederate flags hanging in the rear window of their trucks who like to spill beer on themselves & scream "fuckin hostile" over & over again while looking for someone to punch.
Dime is massively overrated but Zakk's career is garbage across the board.

his vocal style changed / influenced a lot of metal / bands >Pro Tip: NOLA / Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow >Zakk Wylde outsolos the fuck out of dime last concert i saw zakk, people startet walking away because of his idiotic, monotonous 15 minute solo
Then this whole pointless thread is pointless. Just like my life.

This. But at least I like Dime. He wrote some badass riffs. Phil on the other hand is absolute shitbag. He always to be a skinhead but never had guts to finally tattoo swastika on his forehead, so instead he takes it out by growling at and verbally abusing his weak teen fan boys.
