TO ALL THE BANGERS, BEER DRINKERS, & HELL-RAISERS -- THIS ONE'S FOR YOU -- KANPAI!

PIC INFO: Spotlight on vocalist/lyricist Phil Anselmo of American groove/thrash metal band PANTERA, photographed in Japan during the band's "Vulgar Display of Power" Tour, c. summer '92. 📸: Joe Giron.

"In July of 1992 the band made their first trek to Japan for a headlining tour. There were dates in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Every show sold out and the fans were amazing. Traditionally, Japanese fans stay in their seats and show their appreciation by clapping, but Pantera’s infectious “power” metal had the crowds on their feet at every show.

To liven up the backstage hours before the band hit the stage, we did a bunch of portrait sessions using Japanese props and signage.

We also discovered Kirin and Asahi beer on this trip. The best part was that they sold small "pony" kegs in vending machines on the street. Any time we ventured out of our hotel, we’d load up to bring back to our rooms. One night, we were riding back to our hotel in a cab when we spied a beer vending machine at an intersection and attempted to hop out of the cab. Our cabbie thought we were skipping out on the fare and freaked, but we somehow convinced him to pull over so we could stock up."

-- JOE GIRON (PANTERA photographer on the band's exploits in Japan)

It is an old-fashioned bookstore located in Kuramae, Taito-ku, Tokyo.

Kuramae is called the Brooklyn of Tokyo, and although it is downtown, it is a city with a modern atmosphere.

Among them, it was a restaurant with my favorite atmosphere.

東京都台東区蔵前にある昔ながらの書店です。

蔵前は東京のブルックリンと呼ばれており下町ですがモダンな雰囲気を感じさせる街です。

その中でも私の好きな雰囲気のお店でした。

And because the Japanese scene in its entirety would sound waaaaay different than it does today had it not been for the kick in the pants that the Dis-fathers provided over 40 years ago.
