It's official, a """Pantera reunion""" is happening.

[Turd Ferguson]

What musicians (if any) would it take to get any of you guys interested in a reforming of the band? If this is just Phil and Rex asking Zakk and Dave Grohl to play some stadium dates...uggh. But if they were to announce that Pantera, the band will go into the studio to make new music as well....is there any chance you would be interested and what musicians would have to round out the band to make it seem legit?

Can't be done. Pantera without Dime is not Pantera, simple as that.

Irrelevant bassist and neonazi cash grab tour extravaganza

I'd be happier with a limited tour with guests like Zakk and Dave and maybe some other guys who were friends of the band. That actually sounds like fun.

I think I'd actually be more interested if they didn't have Phil, and just got a bunch of different vocalists to pay homage to the band.

I wouldn't be shocked if it's some of Phil's solo guys filling the slots.

If its just a who's who of celebrity musicians then it doesn't feel like getting the band back together or a true reunion. The only only reason I ask is Judas Priest is now NOT KK or Glenn. If you asked me years ago how I would have felt about that I would have scoffed but after how much I enjoyed Firepower and how much I like Richie as a guitarist the once unthinkable is now thinkable. I totally get that Pantera's identity is critically linked to Dime, but if the band were to reunite with permanent replacement members does anyone create intrigue and lend legitimacy?

How about CC Deville on guitar?

Most likely this. The dude from the Illegals or whatever who looks like an awful Dimebag stunt double.

He far too underrated

This is different than Judas Priest. I think, despite Richie kind of coming across as somewhat of a KK Downing understudy, he has the chops and so on to make it work. Plus, KK left. Meanwhile, Dimebag and Vinnie started Pantera, played on every album, were heavily involved in getting Pantera from bar band to worldwide touring act, etc. Touring without Dimebag is like Van Halen attempting to tour without Eddie.

I am 100% for bringing Dimebag back as a Jedi ghost, if not GTFO.

As hard as it is to fill Dime's shoes, the only person that comes to mind is Wes Hauch.

Man Rocky has to be one of the most underrated guitarists ever. He's sooooooo sick. Shit now i have to go listen to him rip it up on "You Can't Bring Me Down" haha

 

[mmr007]

If Rocky George played I would be VERY interested

 

[pahulkster]

Shitty cashgrab.

Also, i genuinely lol'd at their two best tough guy faces in the photos.

Same face as every Pantera fan reading the article

 

[John]

That's a Panterrible idea.

Honestly, back in the day I would have been totally cool with a memorial thing with Zakk filling in. And I'm like Ola when it comes to Pantera...but dude...your 5 minutes are up.


But this reminds me, is Down still a thing anymore?

I think they literally just went back on tour a month ago.
