Official Live: Panther, Angel, and Power Grooves

We’ve been living on the road and in the pit! This week on The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff are breaking down our thoughts on some killer recent live shows, including the high-octane thrash of Death Angel and the hilarious, riff-heavy spectacle of Steel Panther. If you want to know who still delivers the goods live in 2026, we’ve got your front-row report. Then, we are shifting gears into the ultimate temple of groove. Rex recently went back to school, relistening to the entire Pantera discography from top to bottom—including the legendary live albums. We’re breaking down how the albums hold up today, the evolution from Cowboys from Hell to Reinventing the Steel, and why their live recordings capture a level of sheer, hostile energy that few bands have ever matched. Crack open a cold one, turn the volume up to 11, and let's get vulgar!
