'We were sitting around and I started tinkering around with something that was half-beat time. I wrote the son of a bitch,' Brown says of the song. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the greatest album by one of the greatest bands of all time, Vulgar Display of Power has been remastered and reissued with a bonus track, the previously unreleased 'Piss,' recorded during the Vulgar sessions. Pantera will always be one of the greatest of all time in our book. The way Phil was singing with such intensity but also tone. 'The first time I heard them, I couldn't believe how great this band was. 'Those guys are gods to us,' says A7X vocalist M. That sound has influenced almost every metal band to crank it up to 11 since, from Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch to Lamb of God and Avenged Sevenfold, the last of whom have covered 'Walk' many times over the years and even jammed on Vulgar's opening track, 'Mouth for War' with Paul on drums at the 2011 Revolver Golden Gods award show. Video of Pantera - Mouth For War (Official Video) 'Vulgar Display of Power truly encapsulated the Pantera sound and that's where it absolutely came to fruition.' 'When you slice it all up,' Paul says, 'Vulgar was the most cohesive and unified Pantera ever was.' 'The album was the absolute stripping away of all the bullshit and letting everything come out emotionally and going for the money riff right off the bat,' Anselmo adds. Pantera's own vocalist Phil Anselmo, bassist Rex Brown, and drummer Vinnie Paul agree. That really was the Pantera that we all know and love so much today.' Cowboys From Hell was a heavy record, but Vulgar was the defining record.

'The band suddenly shifted gears in a really dramatic way. 'That's a very, very important record,' concurs Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, who collaborated with Pantera the same year they released Vulgar, on the track, 'Light Comes Out of Black' off the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie soundtrack. I remember hearing it and going, What the hell are these guys smoking?'

'I used to goof with Dime, Vulgar is like with the Spinal Tap album, except instead of it being, 'You can't get none more black,' it's 'You can't get none more heavier.' It was just the most brutal thing.
