Too Cool To Live is No Real Life Examples Please, and it's also about a side character who's killed off to stop them from overshadowing the hero, not any cool person who died young.


* TooCoolToLive: Dimebag Darrell. In addition to being one of the most talented metal guitarists in the world, he was a friendly, unpretentious, outgoing guy who was loved by just about everybody who knew him, and went out of his way to be kind and accessible to fans.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Listeners who are not a huge fan of '80s GlamMetal usually still listen to the band's early material for the kickass solos and riffs of Diamond Darrel.

* EvenBetterSequel: ''Cowboys from Hell'' is a great album, but ''Vulgar Display of Power'' took things to a whole [[IncrediblyLamePun new level.]]

Old Shame is in-universe only, and the trope this should be isn't a YMMV trope. Moving.


* OldShame: Their 80's HairMetal phase to themselves, though some of their fans find them enjoyable enough.
** Phil thinks making ''Power Metal'' was a mistake because he'd been in the band about five minutes at that point and hadn't really had time to gel with the other three.

** Phil Anselmo in particular is a source of this: was he a massively influential vocalist and vastly underrated lyricist whose youthful foolishness and severe substance issues derailed his career and legacy at a number of junctures? Or is he a racist and narcissist whose ego helped destroy the band and possibly led to Dimebag's death via his careless shit-talking to the media and who is now trying to shamelessly cash in on the band's legacy now that the Abbotts are both deceased?

* FandomRivalry: The Pantera vs Exhorder is one of the most well-known in all of metal, especially in the GrooveMetal scene where Pantera fans and Exhorder fans claim that [[TheyCopiedItSoitSucks the bands rip off each others' styles]], when in fact they developed the groove sound independently. Believe it or not, the members of Pantera and Exhorder are friends. Yeah, so [[{{Irony}} ironic]].

Believe it or not, the members of Pantera and Exhorder are friends. Yeah, so [[{{Irony}} ironic]].[[note]]The degree to which Pantera was officially beholden to Exhorder depends on who you ask, ranging from "common pool of influences and played a few shows together" to "unabashed worship" - for the latter, Marzi Montazeri (a longtime associate of Phil's who later played in The Illegals and later Exhorder) outright stated that Phil was obsessed with Exhorder, saw them as the future, and pushed the rest of the band to move in that direction. Nonetheless, all parties involved agree on one thing: Exhorder barely toured or even played shows outside of the Southeast and Texas and never took things as seriously as they should have, while Pantera worked their asses off and had to grind for their success in a way that few other bands did.[[/note]]
