MAGICAL COWBOYS?
In the beginning of the Pantera history, they started off by playing KISS and Van Halen Covers.
They have also been support acts for Stryper, Dokken and Quiet Riot. The bands promoted Panteras debut album Metal Magic ('83). The album was produced by the Abbott brothers father Jerry Abbott at Pantego Studios. before Phil Anselmo took the place as the frontman. Also before they went on the thrash & Groove metal train.
Before the big hit with the Cowboys From Hell album, the band Megadeth wanted Darrell Lance Abbott (Dimebag Darrell) to be their new guitarist, Dimebag said no the opportunity because he wanted his brother Vinnie Paul (Vincent Paul Abbott) to join on drums, but the band already had a drummer. So the brothers went back to Pantera.
Which we are grateful for.
After the release of Cowboys From Hell in 1990,
Rob Halford (Judas Priest) performed with Pantera onstage. They later on opened up for Judas Priest in 1991.The year after, Rob Halford left Judas Priest and recorded the song Light Comes out of Black with Pantera for Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Other interesting fact: Pantera's Behind the Music, ('06) Jerry Abbott (Country music songwriter & record producer) talks about how his son Dimebag used to be in the KISS Army as a child.
