No. 0731990·groove-metal·5 blocks
Cemetery Gates
Pantera's most dynamic song: a clean, chiming arpeggio intro that explodes into a crushing groove and one of Dimebag Darrell's most expressive solos. Recorded with producer Terry Date in 1990, the heavy tone is a Dean ML 'Dean From Hell' with a Bill Lawrence L-500XL through a solid-state Randall RG100ES — mids scooped by an MXR six-band EQ — while the clean intro comes from a Roland JC-120's lush chorus. Standard tuning.
