Music Video of the Day: 5 Minutes Alone by Pantera (1994, directed by Wayne Isham)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Vinnie Paul explained how this song came about:

“The story behind this song is we were opening for Megadeth, and there was a guy that was flipping us off the whole show and so we stopped the show. And I was like, ‘Listen, in case you haven’t noticed there’s 18,000 people who really dig what we’re doing. You’re the only one doing that stupid shit without even having to egg the crowd on.’ Ten guys just jumped the guy and beat the shit out of him. His dad called the manager after all the lawsuits and this and that, and basically said, ‘Give me five minutes with that Phil Anselmo guy. I want to whup his ass.’ “

The music video, not surprisingly was directed by Wayne Isham.  Isham was one of those directors who worked everybody who was anybody.  Isham especially understood had to capture metal energy in video form.

This video, for what is arguably Pantera’s best-known song, was filmed at shows in Chicago and Minneapolis. Phil Anselmo has said that the song was a message to everyone who claimed that Pantera had allowed this success to go to their heads.  The song was their way of saying, “Take a walk with your attitude.”

Director Paul Andreson has also worked with Insane Clown Posse, Metallica, Urge Overkill, Collective Soul, and Meredith Brooks.

Congrats to the Super Bowl Champion LI New England Patriots!

Around here, we celebrate the championships of the teams that us editors are super stoked about.  Anyone that has been following this blog for more than 1 year knows that I’ve been a New England Patriots fan since 1985.  So, now that the New England Patriots have won the first Super Bowl to ever go into overtime, and also have won the Super Bowl from the biggest deficit, 25 points, I, pantsukudasai56, aka Zachary Boucher, can yell and scream and enjoy all this, and there’s one thing I have to post.  I don’t know whether or not this has ever been our song of the day, but if I had to say a song that should be played all I can think is that we should all be listening to Pantera’s Walk.

To all the haters out there, RE-SPECT, WALK.   Walk on home boy.  You don’t have to like them, but you have to respect them.  The Drive for 5 is over, the New England Patriots are the greatest football team ever, and Tom Brady is better than Joe Montana.  Sorry Arleigh, it’s true.
