Song of the week

Pantera is no more. Luckily the brothers from Pantera (Vinnie and Dimebag) got together and formed a new band called Damage Plan. One of my favorite songs off their CD is called "Fuck You". Very reminicient of the Pantera classic Fucking Hostile. Overall Damageplan does a very good job, and Dimebag proves he is one of the greatest heavy metal/hard rock guitarists. He plays everything so smooth and crisp, it's amazing. On a few of the songs, he gets the guitar to virtually scream ad moan.

The lead singer of Damage Plan looks and sounds a lot like Phil Anselmo from Pantera. He's got the bald head, tattoos and a nasty scowl permanantly plastered on his face. I think Phil had more range, but the new guys does a respectable job. His vocal styling is particularly effective on the song Breathing New Life. If I screamed like he does on that track, I wouldn't be able to speak for a month.

I would post a quote from the "Fuck You" chorus, but to be honest I can't really understand what he's saying. Check it out anyway and start moshing into something. Your couch, wall, dog, signifigant other, whatever you have around....
