This is a great post as most people who know Pantera never knew that they had a heavy 80’s look & sound to them!  Look up “Power Metal” . psicozzy: Pantera before and after. Nothing I can say would be as funny as Vinnie in the 80s. Seriously.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

This song was from his Black Sabbath days but I feel to be a fitting song to pay tribute to a metal icon..

Ronnie James Dio
