[Ariana]

*sigh* Pantera

 

[The Flash]

One of the easiest ones yet. Pink Floyd.

 

[Black Wizard]

Pantera aren't great but I don't have any interest in Pink Floyd.

 

[Moon Child]

Floyd.

 

[LooseCannon]

I feel bad for Ariana. I like some Pantera, but I love the Floyd I love.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

What about the Floyd you don't love?

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Anyone but Pink Floyd

 

[Luke]

Oh my.
Two of the most overrated bands ever.

Though anything is better than Pantera. So Floyd.

 

[Saapanael]

What about the Floyd you don't love?

Floyd Rose it must be.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Floyd Rose it must be.

You just don't know how to set it up properly!
(> the online response one typically encounters whenever someone voices the legitimate opinion that they don't like a Floyd Rose bridge... )

 

[Eric Wright]

Floyd by a longshot.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

Floyd

I was never a huge fan of their stuff aside from Animals, and Pantera has some great songs, but in the end I'm voting for what I consider the more talented band.

 

[Black Wizard]

Dimebag is the greatest guitarist who ever lived.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Dimebag is the greatest guitarist who ever lived.

Dimebag was pretty special, but hardly the greatest ever. And I'm not sure if this really sways Pantera towards being "the better artist" of the two....

To hell with it, Pantera it is. They've got my vote.

 

[Ariana]

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

It's not going to stop them getting totally pumped by Floyd though, Ariana...

 

[Ariana]

I know that and it's been hopeless from the start, but 28% sounds good.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Shit footage & shit sound. Still, I remember being a little annoyed I missed this gig back in the day...

 

[The Flash]

Dimebag is the greatest guitarist who ever lived.

Hahahaha. No.
