I know, I know, Pantera twice in three weeks. But this is a new song! Or almost. PISS was recorded during the VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER session but was never put on the record. Not sure why. It's not the best and not the worst Pantera song. Definitively better than some filler at the end of the record. But the showstopper here is the video, ladies and gentlement. It's not before seeing it that I realized how much Pantera has influences me. Guys punching each other in the face, stuff getting destroyed, mosh pitting, flexing, all around rocking out. This is as manly as it gets. If I understand what's going on here, they are all fans who auditioned for the video. It's a cool thing to do, you know when you have a dead guitar player and an estranged frontman, so you can't put the band in the video anyway. I loved that fan comment in the beginning: "I'm just one of those kids who's gonna die in the same town he was born in..." I never through I'd say that again, but here's the latest song by Pantera.
Pantera - PISS
Half assed for most his life
Done nothing but stand
Talks big because he’s so small so
No one will give him a hand
The kinda guy that would steal your cast
And buy a burning house
Then call you up and invite you in
And jerk you off with a sandpaper hand
I’d leave him physically crippled
Without a leg to stand
I’d throw that trash away
Because a runt like that is piss in the wind
My fist would be the decider
I wasn’t raised a fool
I’d stomp his ass for free
Because a punk like that is piss in the wind
Piss in the wind
A go-getter who ain’t got none
A legend in his mind
Always the one to invite himself
And then just left behind
Someone must of clipped his balls
Or wiped his ass of his life
A self centered procrastinator
Attention seeker who’s got nothing at all
I’d leave him physically crippled
Without a leg to stand
I’d throw that trash away
Because a runt like that is piss in the wind
My fist would be the decider
I wasn’t raised a fool
I’d stomp his ass for free
Because a punk like that is piss in the wind

You notice the verse riff is the same as another song? Using My Third Arm, I think, could be wrong though. I assume that's why they never used this song. Because it's in another one. It's good to hear something from them though. Probably my all-time favorite band.
Thank you Ed V!! Searching long and hard to find someone else who mentions the bridge was used on Third Arm off Far Beyond.. Thought i must have headbanged myself stupid as no one seemed to mention it?!
In saying that anytime anyone wants to drop a concrete slap of groove that makes me reminisce good times and i get to hear new Dimebag riffage is all good by me!
