All but Hellyeah played a Pantera song which was disappointing. It’s almost like Vinnie was ashamed of it at some point. I understand not living in the past but c’mon, I bet Chad Grey could kill some Pantera

      I've been saying in the recent years that they should just do a tribute-show in the sense of what they did with Queen and Freddie Mercury. As in, just let other guitar-players do a song or two each, while of course the other three cats do their original respective parts. - People kept saying "reunion", to which others kept replying "Impossible, because Dime...". - Both the fans and especially the band-members needed to start understanding that it's just about going out there and playing the music live with everyone possible, performers and audience, joining in.
      And now... Now it's even more fucked. - I wasn't even going to be at that event, as it would likely have been a one-off in the US. But for the sake of it happening I wish it did. - It's really sore, the way it stands now, cause life is fucking fleeting...

It'll always bug me that I was only 11 when Pantera last played, and though I started becoming a huge fan around that time I was too young to get a chance to see them.

    Dude I had no idea he was an all state tuba player. So am I...in the same fucking state. And we had the same reasons for picking up bass. My connection with Rex and Pantera just got fucking deeper, holy fucking shit. I already loved him as sort of the mellow, laid back, reserved member of the band. Now it’s like “holy fucking shit, we have a decent bit in common”.

    Anyone who's been in a band knows it's like a family.. but you can only be locked up with your favorite family members for so long before you start hating them. Even being married to your wife or husband... You need some apart time so your not up each others ass all the time. I don't blame anyone for the break up. Time ran it's course and sometimes that magic you bottled up runs out and that's it man.. magic like that is like a dragon. It's wild and you just hold on and enjoy the ride. When it's over you reflect and reminisce and embrace what you had and hi 5 the good times. That's all you can do.
