The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits!
2003 greatest hits album by Pantera
The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits! is a compilation album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on September 23, 2003, two months before their breakup. The title of the compilation is a combination of the titles of their first four major label albums.
The compilation includes an audio CD of 15 previously released tracks and one previously unreleased track, plus a DVD with 12 music videos, two of them live. The tracks on the CD include songs from all six major label albums (two from Cowboys from Hell, three from Vulgar Display of Power, four from Far Beyond Driven, one from The Great Southern Trendkill, one from Official Live: 101 Proof, and three from Reinventing the Steel), as well as three cover songs, all in chronological order. The compilation album reached No. 38 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA in August 2004 and Platinum in January 2006.[3]
The International version of the album, titled Reinventing Hell: The Best of Pantera (combination of the titles of their albums Reinventing the Steel and Cowboys from Hell), is almost identical. It has different artwork and a cardboard slip cover. It also has different tracks than its US counterpart and is available as a standard version or with a DVD.
