Pantera - The Art Of Shredding Lyrics






Unity is a rare thing
Blind eyes of society bring
The category of minority
Now what are we supposed to be?
Born free to be
Powerless to change the world
With our lives in the hands of madmen

Now in times when society needs us
This is where the sin begins
We're aware they're going to free us
Rage from our hearts within
Born of this world
Which is a living hell
But we'll be closer to heaven

So now, this is the art
To shred... it's only emotion

Pantera The Art Of Shredding Comments
  1. E.... #....

    Esta sola canción tiene muchos riff más rotos que muchas canciones de bandas actuales

  2. L.... H....

    This sounds a lot like thrash metal to me.

  3. J.... R....

    Is it me or does the intro sound very very similar to brain dead by exodus

  8. D.... W....

    Best intro ever

  9. w.... ....

    The tempo / downbeat changes within the intro just bring it to a whole new level .

  10. S.... A....

    Unity is a rare thing
    Blind eyes of society bring
    The category of minority
    Now what are we supposed to be?
    Born free to be
    Powerless to change the world
    With our lives in the hands of madmen

    Now in times when society needs us
    This is where the sin begins
    We're aware they're going to free us
    Rage from our hearts within
    Born of this world
    Which is a living hell
    But we'll be closer to heaven

    So now, this is the art
    To shred... it's only emotio

    Как же тоскливо по тем временам, когда в Ютубе не лезли эти рекламные морды из каждой щели! Заходишь на видос послушать, например Pantera.., т.е. талантливый качественный МЕТАЛЛ, и на входе видишь чью-то хипстерскую рожу в жёлтой то ли футболке, то ли рубашке, и эта харя такая начинает повествование: "Меня зовут Алексей.., я с детства был окружён какими-то там людьми..." А ты всего-то хотел послушать МИтолл!!! БЛЯЯЯЯАААА!!!!! Ублюдочная реклама засрала интернет пространство!....

  36. T.... S....

    \m/ Hell Yeah!!

  37. B.... J....

    If I didn't have this music I would kill people

  38. G.... B....

    Dimebag sounds like 6 guitarists!! No one can match this icon.

  39. J.... ....

    324 people should take left right hook and a uppercut from Phil's Favorite Tyson, In the 90s dimebag bet against phil that Buster Douglas would ko Tyson. For the first time. Well it fucking happened. When phil showed up at the studio the next day. Soon as phil walked in dime smiled and started laughing and said pay up mother fucker. Haha phil was pissed

  40. B.... k....

    The bass line is incredible in this sound!

  58. R.... M....

    dimebag plays this in the afterlife while he shreds his way thru hell, up thru paradise, and back around again. I think theres a pc game in the works its called doom eternal

    I like to cut people off on the freeway while listening to this. I'm in my 40s and have been a big fan of pantera since I was in my teens. Like we used to say in the old days, "THIS SHIT'S CRUNCHY"!!

  65. A.... D....

    Pantera-my favourite glam metal band

  66. �.... �....

    Sonido espectacular de cojones. CFH forever

  67. M.... G....

    I guess that’s pretty old

  69. p.... ....

    my neck

  70. D.... M....

    Shredding is indeed art and Pantera were the masterpiece!

  71. M.... S....

    307 people need to go shred themselves

  72. L.... R....

    Dimebag was a fucking god. The six strings could not contain him.

  73. J.... Z....

    This Intro makes me Erect before even touching my Dick.

  74. S.... A....

    Heavier than heavy!!!

  75. J.... S....

    I wonder if the Bar/Casino they're in here in this cover photo, is the same Bar/Casino that Alice Cooper and his band were in on the cover of "Alice Coopers Greatest Hits."

  76. P.... ....

    This is the art of breaking my fucking neck

  77. C.... P....

    What an opening riff🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  78. S.... E....

    Who is that guy singing? That guy sucks. The only thing wrong about PanterA.

  79. N.... M....

    My God I've known since Cowboy's came out that every song on it was beyond amazing, and the album as a whole, is perfection thru and thru. But I just listened to The Art of Shredding again and I swear it's better than when I heard it for the first or second time.

  80. T.... ....

    00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00

  81. L.... F....

    The opening is one of the best in metal

  82. b.... b....

    Kakav intro!!!?? wtf

  83. K.... ....

    This album was them at their purest. Past the Glam phase, still hadn’t found their signature borderline death metal sound but this album still HEAVY as hell and sounded like the band was having fun, enjoying what they were doing. Still my fav Pantera Album, 4 more reasons PSYCHO HOLIDAY, DOMINATION, CEMETARY GATES and this little number!

  84. J.... N....

    Best band ever

  85. J.... M....

    That part was badass

  86. J.... M....

    3:08 🤘🤘

  87. J.... ....

    2:41 DAMN SON

  88. D.... F....

    I heard someone lost 287 dumbfucks with bad taste in music. I think i just found them. You're welcome. This song is so badass it hurts.

  89. u.... ....

    Am i the only one who can notice some metallica elements in the instrumental?

  90. X.... C....

    I enjoy this song, but it seems painfully slow paced for a song called “The Art of Shredding”

  91. D.... R....

    the beginning of this song i went what megadeth song is this then i looked and went wait this is Pantera wtf
    (edit) yep thats the same exact line from the beginning of millenium of the blind THE BONUS TRACK VERSION FROM 1994 NOT THE 2011 ALBUM VERSION

  92. C.... S....

    It’s an art form for sure.. I appreciate it

  93. R.... B....

    Why 2 & 1/2 FUCKING minutes with NO AUDIO AT THE END??? What a waste of space on the album😮

  94. B.... X....

    im a metal head and im proud!

  95. M.... T....

    Hace ya más de 15 años un buen amigo mío me hizo escuchar Pantera, al principio dije "que es ésta mierda". Luego se metió en mis oídos y sentí como si el diablo y dios hubieran parido un hijo en forma de música !!!!! Desde ese momento no he encontrado nada mejor que esta banda. RIP hermanos Abbott.

  96. D.... D....

    Jerry Jones should play this every Sunday.

  97. R.... k....
