ZAKK WYLDE On Playing With PANTERA: 'I'm Really Happy People Can Still Hear VINNIE PAUL And DIMEBAG's Greatness'

In a new interview with The News-Herald, Zakk Wylde touched upon his ongoing involvement with the reformed PANTERA. He said: "The PANTERA thing is beautiful every night. I'm really happy the fellas put it together so people can still hear [late PANTERA members] Vinnie [Paul Abbott] and Dime's ['Dimebag' Darrell Abbott] greatness."

The current lineup of PANTERA — featuring the band's surviving members Philip Anselmo (vocals) and Rex Brown (bass),along with Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX) — is headlining a number of major festivals across North America, South America and Europe and staging some of its own headline concerts. They are also supporting METALLICA on a massive stadium tour in 2023 and 2024.

It was first reported in July 2022 that Anselmo and Brown would unite with Wylde and Benante for a world tour under the PANTERA banner.

According to Billboard, the lineup has been given a green light by Dimebag and Vinnie Paul's estates, as well as Brown, who in 2021 said Wylde wouldn't tour with PANTERA if a reunion were to happen. It's unclear what changed his mind.

During the question-and-answer portion of last month's Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp's "Metalmania III" in Los Angeles, Wylde was asked if he is planning to continue playing with PANTERA "permanently". He said: "Yeah. I told the guys [Anselmo and Brown] whenever… as long as they wanna do it. I don't know why you would wanna end it, 'cause all you're [doing is] going out there and you're just celebrating the fellas. I think it's a beautiful thing and I get to hang out with my buddies."

Zakk, who was close friends with late PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, was also asked about his relationship with Vinnie Paul, who was Dimebag's brother. He said: "Oh, Vinnie was great too… With Dime and Vinnie, every night was Friday night or Saturday night. 'Cause it wouldn't be Sunday. And even if it was Sunday, it would be Sunday Night Football. You know what I mean? Every night was Friday night, man. I mean, it just literally was. I always say it, if you [were hanging out with] Dime and Vinnie, there was zero time to get depressed. If you were bummed out, it's, like, 'Zakk, call the fellas up. We're gonna have a party.' You could either be depressed or you could be loving life and whooping as much ass as possible. They were always about having a good time. I mean, Dime would walk in a room if somebody was depressed as could possibly be, [and] he would just light up a room. Same thing with Vinnie, man."

Anselmo and Brown spoke about PANTERA's return to the stage during an appearance on the seventeenth episode of "The Metallica Report", the podcast offering weekly insider updates on all things METALLICA. Philip said: "It's empowering. It is incredibly beautiful, and you feel so much love when you're up there. And if you take it in, it's a great feeling, man. These days, man, that's where me and Rex, you know, we get to dig the shows more."

He continued: "When we were younger, we were at war and when we were on stage; we were just angry and at war, man. Now it's — the songs are there. I can concentrate on singing the fricking songs, number one. Geez, that's a relief for me, man. I don't have to break my fricking body in part anymore."

Anselmo and Brown also talked about Charlie and Zakk being part of the PANTERA team. Philip said: "Them two dudes, so enthusiastic. And they got their damn thing and they got their own damn legacy, both of them, without us. It's an honor to play with them. They're the nicest frickin guys in the world, man. I'm just so... [Laughs] Zakk, he's a crack-up, man. He's a sweetheart. And fricking Charlie, we've known Charlie since '87, man. It's a long time."

Rex chimed in: "The way [Charlie] plays Vinnie's parts is uncanny. I don't think there's any drummer out there that could play the way that Vinnie did. I would close my eyes, because I was trying to get tight, and sometimes if I close my eyes, I can hear a little better; I think I can. And there'd be a tear of joy just coming down, because that was so close to what Vinnie and I used to play. So you have the foundation."

Philip concurred, saying: "The low end sounds so PANTERA, man. It's freaking me out."

When the interviewer suggested that PANTERA in 2023 has Vinnie Paul and Dimebag's "spirit inside it", Philip said: "Only thing I can say is, man, I know for a damn fact Vince and Dime would want us to do this, hands down. They would want the PANTERA brand or the legacy to go on. And I don't know what you believe in, but sometimes, you know, you would like to think that them old fellas are looking down on us, giving us the thumbs-up."

While he was alive, Vinnie Paul had repeatedly dismissed talks of a PANTERA reunion, telling Germany's EMP Rock Invasion in 2014: "People are selfish, man. They want what they want; they don't care what you want. And it's unfortunate that people go, 'Oh, wow, man, they can get Zakk Wylde to jump up there on stage and it's PANTERA again.' No, it's not, you know. It's not that simple. If Eddie Van Halen was to get shot in the head four times next week, would everybody be going, 'Hey, man, Zakk, go play for VAN HALEN. Just call it VAN HALEN.' You see what I'm saying? I mean, it's really selfish for people to think that, and it's stupid. It's not right at all."

He continued: "They call it a reunion for a reason. It's called bringing the original members back to what it was. So there's a lot of these things that they call reunions that aren't really reunions. They've got one dude from the band floating around in them, you know. That's not a true reunion. With PANTERA, it'll never be possible."

He repeated those same sentiments a few months later, telling PlanetMosh in a separate interview: "Without Dimebag Darrell, there is no [PANTERA] reunion. And that's all there is to it. We were a very influential band, and we touched millions and millions of people with that band, but it's over. People really have to come to grips with that, and that's all there is to it. If all of us were still here, then the possibility would truly be there, but since it's not, you know… It's selfish of the fans to want something that they can't have. And they don't ever understand that, and I get it. There's things I want in this world too. You know, people in fucking hell want ice water, but they're not gonna get it."

Up until his passing in June 2018, Vinnie remained on non-speaking terms with Anselmo, whom the drummer indirectly blamed for Dimebag's death.

Vinnie Paul and Dimebag co-founded PANTERA. When PANTERA broke up in 2003, they formed DAMAGEPLAN. On December 8, 2004, while performing with DAMAGEPLAN at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, Dimebag was shot and killed onstage by a troubled schizophrenic who believed that the members of PANTERA were stealing his thoughts.

Dimebag's longtime girlfriend Rita Haney in 2011 called on Vinnie and Philip to settle their differences in honor of Dimebag.

Vinnie, who was Dimebag's brother, and Anselmo had not spoken since PANTERA split in 2003. But the relationship got even more acrimonious when Vinnie suggested that some remarks the vocalist had made about Dimebag in print just weeks earlier might have incited Dimebag's killer.

Haney told the producers of "Behind The Music Remastered: Pantera" that she forgave the singer after they found themselves unexpectedly face to face at a concert in California.

Когда уже величие покойных братьев альбом "насвистит во сне"?

Конечно, когда твой работодатель, благодаря которому ты не на автозаправке работаешь, по возрасту отходит от дел, надо искать нового
Желательно тоже с именем.

Mike Barlow, в отличие от Майка Барлоу, у Закка никогда не было небходимости идти работать в ментовку. Даже когда в 2010-м он расстался лет на 10 с Ozzy.
Black Label Society - это конечно, не уровень Ozzy и Pantera, но вполне себе востребованный и культовый проект. Как и сам Zakk Wylde.

Интересно,он сам понимает какое это лицемерие - издеваться над наследием братьев Эбботов?

Red One

Termofucker, конечно, понимает. Но всё имеет свою цену.

Уж не знаю, что он там вообще понимает насчет лицемерия, насчет цинично-коммерческой эксплуатации чьего-то там наследия и возникают ли у него подобные мысли в принципе, но вот насчет гарантий сохранности своего худо-бедно устойчивого финансового положения он (именитый гитарист, второй по значимости музыкант в группе Оззи) всё, когда получал соответствующие предложения, понимал прекрасно.

А вообще, у меня, если честно, нет какого-то особого презрения в связи с этим ни к Закку Уйалду, ни ко всем прочим участникам современного состава Pantera : у американского шоу-бизнеса свои законы, и если ты, живя в Америке, по ним не работаешь СЕГОДНЯ, то рискуешь быть вообще выкинутым на помойку без малейших перспектив на ЗАВТРА.

Damien, логично. Нет работы - нет денег.
И все бы ничего, если бы не табу со стороны Винни при жизни, но всей этой условно безработной и желающей в Pantera бригаде на помощь пришла знаменитая формула и немного цинизма: твори свою волю, таков да будет весь закон.
Проще говоря, плевать они хотели на негодование и отдельный хейт, ибо профит реален, а хейт - это лишь мнение отдельных людей, даже если их немало. Ну подумаешь! Не придут они - придут другие, без этих комплексов и пацановских понятий с принципами (описываю их логику мышления).
Остается дальше лишь гадать, чтобы было, если бы люди предлагали более 100 тысяч долларов, чтобы устроить пикник, или справить нужду на могиле братьев. Боюсь, как бы и тут коллективный Кроули подобно швейцару у парадной, беря под козырек не приоткрывал проход.

gravitgroove, ну, "коллективный Кроули", конечно, жаден до легкой наживы, но под козырек он всё же, мне кажется, в двух последних описанных тобой ситуациях возьмет вряд ли - по крайней мере, мне хочется в это верить.
