Pantera is nazi?

Edit: Thanks for letting us know. Just looked it up, in 94 a seig heil, then in 2016 or something that and worse, from the lead singer. Shit, I listen to them a bit, but never did before, I had no idea just thought it was kind of catchy and different from my normal rock and blues and jazz and electronic.

Phil Anselmo always came off like an angry white supremacist, but then in 2015 he expressed regret about Pantera's past use of the confederate flag.

Dimebag's views were racist as fuck. It's really a shame considering all his musical talent.

That sucks, I just got into them a bit, not much but working out just as a change of pace sometimes, and I endorsed them to a few people too. I guess I need to read about bands before I listen to them.

I'm sure there are plenty of metal bands I could get into that aren't nazis I just have to look for them.

I think that's a running joke in metal circles. You hear a band that sounds awesome and you spend the rest of the show researching to see if they're Nazis before buying any merch.
