Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power

I remember seeing it on a new friend’s dresser… I was like “what’s this?”

He’s is like “Oh my god. You haven’t heard any Pantera yet!?!? YESSSS! They will blow your mind man.”

AND….. they did

Yep. With headphones. In bed.

I was born right when that album came out… so I imagine sometimes I’m a sixteen year old kid in the 70’s in an old bedroom, with big coiled can headphones.

Dark Side would be the other, but doesn’t have that same effect.

What rioters? Ohhhh.

You mean the ones in Washington DC. Gotcha.

Yea this is the way.

YouTube has basic videos that show you the chords. And here’s a couple ways to make it easier.

• Try on an electric guitar, it’s easier to hold and get your fingers on

• Learn basic “Power chords”. Once you know how to put your fingers for one chord? YOU CAN PLAY EVERY CHORD ON THE GUITAR. (Most rock songs

• Learn how “Tablature” works. Then you will be able to play ANY song. PLAY ALONG WITH THE SONGS YOU LOVE and you will have fun!

—— all of the above should be available on YouTube in 5 min videos——

If you like that song???

“Something I can Never Have” - NIN on “Pretty Hate Machine”

^ That song is like Hurt, just as heart wrenching

Taylor. Has. Zero. Sway.

YES SHE IS MICHAEL JACKSON LEVEL.

But if she said “I’m not gonna tour until Congress does something!” like Pearl Jam did?

< Crickets >

Ticketmaster would be like…. “Okay, then don’t make money… the venue is open for these dates. Call me, or not. Don’t care. We make enough on Football.”

Congress would be like “Okay. My kids like you…. But wait this lobbyist is still paying me to not care.”

Last- You think Congress is on TIK TOK??? And Pearl Jam shows STILL easily cost / sell out just as fast Blink does. (I had SHIT tickets for PJ at MSG that we’re going for $800 a piece) I don’t think you’re even old enough to remember buying tickets in the 90’s.

But they own many of the venues.

Yes. I know right?!?

But it seems like people aren’t actually getting down that far.

I STILL see people blaming Taylor and the fans.

Yes but the ARTISTS TRIED and FAILED.

PEARL JAM TESTIFIED To Congress in the 90’s and boycotted them for a decade when they were THE TOP ACT.

TAYLOR, McCaRTNEY, The STONES. JIMI HENDRIX could rise from the dead and he’d still need to play a Ticketmaster venue or not play at all.

Every single artist (AND SPORTS TEAM) would need to stop touring and playing. The chances of that happening?

Zero. Touring is the only way artists make money now.

^ This is my point of my post. The casual concert goer doesn’t know just how much control Ticketmaster has over the artists.

YES. But can they do that for every show?

Nah….

No Air Force base or Big Cypress is going to be able to handle 15 shows in a row and the fans can’t travel and live there for it.

I’m a phan like you my friend, my friend. :)

….Can Taylor fans do the festivals that us phish phans do? What about Rage? Or Metallica? Nope. Woodstock 99 all over again. Most fans need running water, electricity and food.

This is pretty much it. The album has a distinct unique sound even for Pearl Jam.

The song flow is perfect and closing with “Release” is great.
