No Picture Joe Average	#1 by Joe Montana at Aug 21, 1973 at 8:30 PM EST
	I agree with MikeL89, I also wake up with this song in the morning and it pisses off my neighbors. =P I love the meaning of the lyrics, especially because I live in a city with 20 million people and at least 90% of them follow the trend. It's just sad seeing people not being themselves to belong to the crowd. I love how it starts too!

No Picture Juandiego Rhythm Player	#2 by Juandiego Schubnell at Mar 4, 1975 at 9:44 AM EST
	Pantera owns a near monoply on all things that rock.

No Picture Randy Professional	#3 by Randy McKagan at May 22, 1976 at 9:11 AM EST

No Picture Adam Average	#4 by Adam at Aug 2, 1982 at 10:24 AM EST
	Pantera are one of the only bands that I can truly listen to. I love every single song, every riff, drum beat and lyric. Same goes for Down. Anselmo = God - rocks the pants off any other band. I listen to a lot of other albums and there will be the occasional song I skip, but with Pantera...ROOARARRRR THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL, THATS RIGHT! THE GREATTTT SOUTHERNNNN TRENDKILLL FUCK YEAAHHH!

No Picture Daniel Rhythm Player	#5 by Daniel Baxter at Aug 30, 1984 at 7:33 PM EST
	Eh? That doesn't really make sense - so you are basically saying I can't love Pantera and that I'm a hypocrite for loving Pantera because Pantera said so? Phil's always maintained that he keeps things real and won't give in to trends etc, but that's not the reasons I love Pantera - the reason I love Pantera is that everything about the albums they produced was just pure metal and I can listen to every song and drum beat - and Phil's got an amazing vocal style There was no following of trends - that's the whole point of this song, bashing the trends that some bands follow. I don't follow a trend here I just love this band... What you've basically said is a load of rubbish - this whole album is just Pantera writing the music they wanted to write. Yes, the last lyric is 'If I was God you'd sell your soul' - the point is Phil is NOT God - but well done for trying to analyse me and not the song...

No Picture ZENacheived Average	#6 by ZENacheived at Jun 20, 1993 at 1:45 AM EST
	yeah.. you're talkin about a Dimebag solo.. and saying if it was more kickass.. uh... huh..yeh.. well.. you're fuckin retarded.. but I do agree with the rest of what you said..
