Song information
The riff for “Walk“ is played in a time signature of 12/8.
Dimebag Darrell played the riff at a soundcheck during the tour for Cowboys from Hell and the rest of the band loved it.
Vocalist Phil Anselmo said that the message of the song was “Take your fucking attitude and take a fuckin’ walk with that. Keep that shit away from me“.
His message was aimed at friends that treated the band differently when they arrived home after touring for Cowboys from Hell.
He said “they thought it had gone to our heads, like we’ve got this rock-star thing embroidered across our faces“.
The music video was shot at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago.
In 2019, the song was prominently featured in the film Triple Frontier.
Wrestler Rob Van Dam used the song as his entrance music during his time in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
