I hope any true metallers out there will vote for Pantera for 2 simple reasons:
a) there has never been and probably will
never be a metal band to earn a board on
unless we step up and vote for it and
b) even if you hate Pantera with a vengeance then you should consider voting for it for the above reason (which makes us part of one big Metal family where we stick together no-matter-what) and because on the Pantera board there will probably be many threads devoted to other Metal bands from all of the sub-genres which you would not be able to find on any other board on
. I know I will want to chat about MANY other Metal bands from many different sub-genres!
The main reasons why I chose Pantera as the Metal band to request a board for are: This band is one of the first Metal bands I got into and have not 'grown-out-of-it'. Metal is not something you 'grow out of'. It is a genre of music that is a part of you. I always loved Metal before I even knew what it was. I honestly did not even know there were different genres of music back then!
But I did lean towards the heavy-end of the music that I was able to hear. (FNM, RHCP, Mr Bungle, Nirvana, AIC, NIN, GNR, Metallica, Pantera...etc) I also believe that Pantera would be a great platform to get a 'Metal' board onto
. The name
Pantera is well-known, for both good and bad things. Everyone has heard of Pantera so it is better picking this band rather than a more obscure one such-as Primordial, Malignant Monster, Dimmu Borgir, Suffocation or Virgin Black etc. I truly think that if enough of the Metal fans here on
band together and vote for this board, we can make it our home of Metal on
! Not just for Pantera, but for all Metal. That would be awesome!!
Full Metal Racket.
