Walk

About this song

"Walk" is the first single from Pantera's album Vulgar Display of Power and remains one of the band's most recognizable and celebrated songs. Its signature guitar riff is played in the unusual time signature of 12/8. The blue-tinted image of frontman Phil Anselmo on the single's cover is taken from the music video for "Mouth for War", another song from the same album.
