"Walk" comes off Vulgar Display of Power, Pantera's sixth album, released on East West in February 1992, and it was born at a soundcheck: Dimebag Darrell played the riff on the Cowboys from Hell tour and his bandmates jumped on it. All four share the writing credit, and it lurches and stomps rather than charges, Rex Brown and Vinnie Paul locked in underneath while Phil Anselmo barks.
Anselmo aimed it at friends back home who treated the band differently once they came off the road, convinced success had gone to their heads; the message boils down to taking that attitude somewhere else. Terry Date produced, engineered and mixed it with Vinnie Paul. The video was shot at Chicago's Riviera Theatre, Rob Van Dam walked out to it in Extreme Championship Wrestling, and it resurfaced in the 2019 film Triple Frontier.
