Vulgar Display of Power
Pantera on the Hi-Fi all day yesterday. Who would gun down one of the heaviest axemen of all time? Where is the motive? My guess is that the disturbed man who went forth with this crime of violence did so after he spent years and years trying to reproduce the solo from ‘Floods’ – but he just couldn’t do it. Couldn’t hit all those notes with that much speed. It’s a good thing that Ohio police officer gunned him down as I can’t even begin to imagine what this guy would have looked like after a nation of Speed Metal freaks, high on revenge got a hold of him. There isn’t a security facility strong enough to hold that lynch mob at bay.
