BACK WHEN PANTERA WAS A HAIR METAL BAND…

The Glam Mistress Allyson over at Bring Back Glam! has reminded us of a truth that we so often selectively forget: Pantera got their start as a poofy-haired, spandex-wearing glam metal band. And by “start” I don’t just mean teenage garage-band days; I mean four full-length albums (!), the first three with original lead singer Terry Glaze. What would all the meatheads who chant “Dimebag! Dimebag!” at every metal concert these days say if they knew their slain hero pranced around the stage in videos like this one? I don’t know what’s better, Dimebag’s shiny silver spandex or the choreographed “wish I was Eddie” stage moves.
