Pantera byla založena v roce 1981 bratry Diamondem Darrellem a Vincentem Paulem Abbottovými, kteří se rozhodli hrát hudbu, jakou mají rádi, tudíž tehdy ještě glam metal, spolu s baskytaristou Tommym Bradfordem, kytaristou Terrym Glazem a zpěvákem...

Píseň: Suicide Note Pt. II

Interpret:
Pantera
Album:
The Great Southern Trendkill
Out of my mind, gun up to the mouth 
No pretension, execution, live and learn 
Rape and turn 
Fret not family, nor pre-judged army 
This is for me, and me only, cowards only 
Try it 
(Chorus) 
Don't you try to die, like me 
It's livid and it's lies and makes graves 


It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a 
rotting life 
I'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off, 
fuck you all 
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me 
for weakness is a magnet - watch me do it 
(Chorus) 
Graves descending down 
Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it, 
doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice 
when a mind's made up to go ahead and die? 
What's done is done and gone, so why cry? 
(Chorus)
