A lot of people only respect Dimebag because he's dead. I'll be frank and say that Chuck Schuldiner deserves a lot more respect, and honestly I think the fact that Pantera was amazing had a lot more to do with Anselmo's vocals and the way the band wrote relatively simple but very effective songs. I could play almost anything Rex Brown or Vinnie Paul did in Pantera but that doesn't mean I could write it. And if you ask me, Anselmo was arguably the best metal vocalist in the past couple decades.
I appreciate you trying to actually have a dialogue with me about this, and I realize how hypocritical it is for me to say it, but there's really no point in discussing this since you and I will never convince each other that a7x has decent or terrible music. I'm just sharing my opinion on how awful I think they are, and each response by people like TheReverend just drives home exactly why.
