Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
I don't even think the superfans on the Pantera message boards have seen this yet--then again, I might've just missed it among all the talk about the best Pantera songs to make love to--but here's some sweet news for all you Pantera lovers out there:
Yesterday, Idolator spread the word on a story from News Corp's British tabloid, The Sun, that announced the top 25 guitar riffs of all time, as found in a poll conducted by a UK guitar school called Guitar X. And, yep, you guessed it: The Arlington-bred Pantera made the list, checking in at a very respectable No. 12 with "Walk." Congrats, fellas! Somehow you beat out every single Angus Young and Jimmy Page riff!
I imagine this news will only help this cause.-- Pete Freedman

Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
