Yes...nothing better than making fun of a dead legend. Personally I don't think it would matter if Pantera were copycats (they weren't). They were better than Exhorder in nearly every aspect. They were successful for a reason. Mainstream doesn't always equate to "selling out" or sounding generic (ex: Nickelback, Foo Fighters). It could just mean they were a good band. Did Megadeth sell out? No, but they are still immensely popular.

What are the community's thoughts regarding Throwdown. Yes, I know they started out as a hardcore band, and yes I'm aware of their Pantera-esque sound. However, from what I've heard from their latest effort Deathless, they seem to have a very calculated groove sound that works really well with Dave Peters' voice.

Pantera was always a mediocre band of rednecks anyways. Dimebag was the closest to talented they had, though I think he is also given to much credit personally for being a better guitarist than he actually was. Boring seeing him listed as best metal guitarist in mainstream magazines... Chuck Schuldiner could of shredded circles around him... yet he never seemed to make the lists.
