Pantera received criticism from Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, who told MTV in 1994:

"When I got together with James [Hetfield of Metallica], he and I created a guitar style that everybody and their brother is playing now, everyone. I'm not gonna name anybody 'cause I'm not gonna promote them. OK, we'll say 'panther' in Spanish. You're welcome guys. We might as well be cooking their dinner for them or pushing their little wheelbarrow to the bank for them."

However, Mustaine may have put these ill feelings to rest, as he has posthumously expressed his admiration for "Dimebag Darrell," saying:

"I knew "Dimebag" by wanting to play with him. We had Pantera open for Megadeth in the U.S. and in Europe. When you get to the level of guitar playing that I'm at and that he was at, the air is pretty thin up there...Darrell was a really gentle spirit and pretty easygoing guy."
