blabbermouth.net/news/its-official-panteras-surviving-members-to-embark-on-reunion-tour-in-2023Yeah, I don't know about this. Pantera ended when that lunatic killed Dimebag. It was buried even deeper when Vinnie Paul died. This just feels like an obvious cash-in and both guys really don't need to do it. If they were marketing as a tribute tour, I could see that. However, marketing as a reunion when the heart and soul of the band is gone is not great. I mean, shit, I know I would much rather get another Down album/Down tour. Bitching aside, I'm a hypocrite and will absolutely go check this out if it comes around here. I never got to see Pantera live and this band was huge for me as a young metal fan.

Maybe Matt Sorum?? I'm not a heavy metal guy, but can Matt Sorum really do Pantera and be a replacement fans would like? Or is his lot in life being replacement drummer for guys? |

Paul Bostaph is a name I keep seeing spring up for drums. I have read Kerry King rumors too, which would suck. Let's be honest, if they're going to do this, it has to be Zakk Wylde on guitar. Even Rita (Dimebag's girlfriend) wants Zakk to do it. Zakk and Phil are cool, it seems. He played with Down at a show not too long ago. Rex, judging by his book, hates everyone, so there's that.

I know he's a fine drummer, but outside of Guns fans and the occasional Cult fan, you never hear his name. |

Cash grab. Phil's voice is shot and the heart and soul of the band was taken away long ago....
Just stick to playing covers with one of your current bands, Phil.

Yeah I'd be fine if this was marketed as a tribute that happened to feature Phil and Rex but actually calling in Pantera really rubs me the wrong way, especially given how vocal Vinnie was against doing tours with different guitarists when he was still alive.
FWIW Charlie Benante looks to be the drummer they're going with so at least it's a friend of the band and not some rando

I mean I would love the chance to see Pantera live but is this really Pantera? I think I might have to wait until Time travel is invented.

Phil is digging up the Pantera grave after the last Abbott brother died... and I'm oddly interested? I feel DIRTY for that, but I need to see Pantera.

I kinda get it as it'll be 20 years since (2023) they disbanded but for me, the Abbot brothers define Pantera and without them, it's a tribute act imo. I read somewhere that Zakk isn't involved and he'd probably be the only guitar player I'd respect enough to fill Dime's shoes owing to their friendship. If they happen to play a festival I'm at, I'll twaddle along for a gander but I'd not go out of my way to watch it. I'd much prefer to watch a Down set tbh
