In their prime who's better: Pantera or Slayet

Pantera and it's not close. Never liked Slayer.

Prime slayer released one of the most important and influential metal albums of all time, and then released a few more great albums.

Prime Pantera was pretty good.

Wtf is wrong with this place?

Slayer. I can’t stand Pantera.

Pantera easily and I'm a Slayer fan. They were the metal band of the 90s. Slayer was always overshadowed by Metallica. Pantera never even had an equal like Slayer did with Megadeth. Dime's guitar work was iconic, one of the best ever in metal or hard rock. Hanneman and King were good, but Dime stood out on his own. Phil is also one of the most best frontmen in metal history. Tom never really stood out on stage.

Damn King.....I respect all of your music posts.......but thats almost fighting words.

Just kidding man!

Pantera was the heaviest, grooviest, nastiest most iconic metal band of the 90's until RTS in 2000. They pioneered heavy groove metal! Dime was a god!

My vote is Pantera!

Pantera had more hits and banger albums and their live shows were awesome.

I love them both

I was a huge Pantera fan and never really listened to slayer because I thought they were Cookie Monster singer music

I started listening to their entire catalogue and fell in love with them

Pantera was bigger but both have a huge influence on metal. Also both are riff machines

I really don't like most of the bands that were heavily influenced by Pantera like Crowbar and Eye Hate God.

Crowbar and EHG both started before CFH was released and have very little in common with Pantera.. If you want to talk about bands influenced by Pantera, Lamb of God and Machinehead would be much better examples.

I don’t like them either. I also don’t care for Korn or much of nu metal either. I really don’t like the direction much of heavy music took in the 90’s.
