Many moons ago, Dave Mustaine, Russell Allen, and Burton C. Bell teamed up with Dream Theater onstage to cover Pantera’s 1990 single “Cemetery Gates.” While the original version of the song already sounds stellar, this live cover is a truly thrilling experience that greatly honors the Pantera classic.
Among the band’s catalog of songs, “Cemetery Gates” is one of Pantera’s most beloved tracks. The song exudes a tremendous sense of mood and intensity throughout its runtime, and when it comes to representing that presentation, Dream Theater, Mustaine, Allen, and Bell do the song more than justice.
It’s always exciting to hear how a band/artist will interpret another act’s music, and while these musicians do properly pay tribute to the Pantera song, it’s so cool to hear them bring their own flair to the performance.
Below you can check out this incredible live performance of Dream Theater, Dave Mustaine, Burton C. Bell, and Russell Allen covering Pantera’s “Cemetery Gates.”
Also below you will find Pantera’s upcoming tour dates.
