Ep. 113 - Rex Brown of Pantera!

[@michaelsavage752]

Love Pantera--even the early "hair" stuff. They are Texas legends.

[@romansingleton8831]

this was a really good show, Rex is a very down to earth cool dude.

[@EB1775]

Ive been a fan since Cowboys and saw Pantera live 7 times. I was fortunate enough to meet the guys and get their autographs on the Far Beyond Driven tour. Rex was super cool and relaxed to talk to.

[@ttop23]

What a rad guy. I feel baked just watching this

[@PanteraFan293]

Awesome!! I've Always looked up to Rex's tone & playing style. That thunderbird looks hella good.

[@frankferriolo9212]

Yeah, the old-school approach....that's basically Rex's tone. Thankyou very much! Old-school is the way to go. You heard it from Rex and I agree 100% with him.

[@peterjepps1229]

Thanks guys, more bass players please, Rex the power, behind the power of the groove🤘😎👍

[@JackMcLeodJr]

Great chat all in all, am a longtime fan of Pantera, much appreciated Gents!

[@gregoryarbour]

Really love that Rex does all these interviews. Great insight. Like him more and more after every interview.

[@SonicDM64]

What a great guest. Good to see he still has so much enthusiasm for the music and gear, and such a nice chap.

[@bhefer]

Rex seems like such an awesome dude. My favorite concert was seeing Pantera on the RTS tour in Peoria IL with my best friend back in high school. Will always be burned into my memory as we came back to a flat tire in the parking garage! Totally worth it 🤣 Thanks for the memories Rex! Love the show fellas 🤘

[@daveyboy8907]

I was there man class of 98 East Peoria...I saw PANTERA 4 times in Peoria in the 90s...Those were the best shows I have ever been to still to this day..

[@tigerswood7481]

Rex is a national treasure

[@andrewmalin4087]

Rex is good dude.

[@Ontariosound]

Agreed about the hands. David Gilmour made every note special with his hands. Pick and fret hands.

[@BoostYourPerformance]

Amazing episode! Thank you again Marc, Dave and Rex!! Best show out there with the best guests! Thank you again 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Richtone85]

Thanks Rex this was a great watch. And I am the same, the last 5 years I have gone from plugging straight it to just loving the slightly different tones all the different Rat pedals can give me etc. Also the Bass looks amazing. All the best!

[@WyattWillis88]

Man whata great episode. Mr Brown has so many cool stories bet this wasn't even the tip of the iceberg

[@jessehoopes7042]

His book was great I had a laugh over some of the stories.

[@jesseolson3142]

@@jessehoopes7042 Yeah I read his book just recently.

[@YourCaliBos]

What a Banger of a show , great job guys . Cheers BC

[@paulsmith6837]

Love Rex hope you well, love you man so many good times to your music

[@Burkhimself]

Wow. Super nice guy. I drummer I jammed with (still do at times) jammed with him a lot (I think) in the last few years…..(a few European festivals). He spoke well of Rex, as well.

[@jesseolson3142]

His book is really good. I'm really glad I got to see Pantera twice. Great Southern Trend Kill Tour And again when they toured the 101 proof. The 101 proof was for me the best show only because it was in NYC Roseland Ball Room that's a great place to see a show it just a big floor 1st time was in NJ in a big stadium we were way up in the seats.

[@kinleydorji]

Show was a treat!

[@scottreynolds5455]

Super! Been close to Rex (and Dime)on stage! Anaheim, CA. Cowboys From Hell tour. Stage was pretty low.

[@stanislavmigra]

This is awesome show. Whoever shows up here, makes for very interesting conversation. Much love

[@mr5811]

Awesome interview with a great dude. There's only a handful of bands that blow your mind with a unique sound, and Pantera was a special one for me.

[@jessehoopes7042]

Guitar player that plays bass once in a while here, I've used a spectre and an ampeg it work's. I play guitar way more and don't have bass gear but at a time I was able to borrow a spector from one friend and plugged into an svt that a guy had in another band. I went to see the band with the guy that had the ampeg svt a couple months later and he switched from his fender precision bass(I think but it was definitely top of the line) to a couple of spectors. It was a great bass tone/sound when it comes to bass im all about spector it was also comfortable as hell perfect for the way I like to play.

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

The current Classic Vibe bass pickups are great, hardware more than serviceable, and if you run the racks you'll find one when dressed frets with their ends filed. Cortek Indonesia isn't f'ing around.

[@glukeable]

What an incredibly cool show! Awesome!

[@codymarshall7364]

Great show. One of my favs for sure.

[@felixdandrea8553]

Got the JST Rex Brown Plugin! Pretty cool!

[@mars6433]

@19:11 O.k. I'm not a big Pantera fan but, at this point in the video, I'm really starting to like Rex.

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

Well thank you!!

[@coreyclark6505]

Awesome chat! You guys should try to get Dug Pinnick from King’s X. He’s had ridiculous rigs for years and was friends with Rex.

[@edwincrain986]

I got one thing to say ABOUT REX. HE'S A GOD DAMN MONSTER ON THE BASS. I love him.

[@glot1n]

Walk is my alarm ring in the week and I use led zep's rock'n'roll for my weekend alarms... Ringtone is Television's Marquee moon... Been that way the last 20 years 😄

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

I use Zep’s “ The Rover” in most of my alarms!! Right on..

[@joehervey84]

I'm here, Love 2 see Jim Root on as a guest. Ty

[@andreslaurito9031]

Awesome m! Rex Brown. Watch em go!

[@firewalker6712]

I saw Pantera 3 times. The best show was was in DC at the capital ballroom. It was on the great Southern Trend Kill tour. That show was insane! They were so fucking good it was unbelieved! They gave 200% I remember my brother was crowd surfing the whole time and I wound up getting 2 of Dimebag's pics. Neurosis opened and Biohazard was the 2nd band. Fucking Crazy!

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

Thx brother!! Heart felt..

[@firewalker6712]

@@REXBROWNOFFICIAL You're more than welcome REX! You guys inspired me and all my friends. In our development as musicians.

[@iradole8362]

I was at that show at the Ballroom! I drank 15 beers before hand and got clocked in the pit and bled like a stuck pig! Great fucking show!!!

[@joehervey84]

Thank you Rex!! Do you like to jam at home well watching tv? I do that all the time . Un-pluged

[@indian3750]

Wow these rock royalties talking about cheap gear like squire. I love this

[@JPM777]

Really liked that Gibson Sig. Hopefully, it is reachable for me (doubt it). Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the Epi version.

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

Worldwide July 12-22

[@JPM777]

@REX BROWN OFFICIAL thanks for the answer. Your tone is amazing man. Thanks for all the music. You're a major influence.

[@deadbeatwilliam]

Suicidal Tendencies was a huge inspiration to Pantera sound.

[@NEUWRIGHT]

Great show, I love the Rex Rocker Gibson bass!

[@georgepelekoudis]

That club would be, Les Foufounes Électriques in Montreal. Still there, still as slimy as ever 😅 Thanks for the interview, Rex, Marc and David :)

[@johnnyberardi9947]

Best venue around the 514 back in the 90s...all the best came through there at some point...when downtown was poppin

[@botorototot]

Great show!

[@luckylicks3497]

43:35 Rex, wasn't Primal Concrete made up on the spot in the last minute? Someone said we've got to have this in the record. Also, it's not on the demo.

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

That’s was for CFH!! We were breaking down the gear & Vinnie(RIP) came across this beat!! We stopped the crew & continued recording..Hope that helps!?

[@luckylicks3497]

@@REXBROWNOFFICIAL That's a cool story, nice to have the confirmation! I sent you a DM on Instagram regarding a 'shrine for Dime' I've had going, preserving original Dime pics..

Great show i wonder what pedal it was he used??? DS-1? Maybe😀 we will never know but Spector with tone pump on-board preamp Emg pickups and sansamp your almost there 🤘🏼

Hahahahha KZbin is a rabbit hole. I have spent 10 hours figuring out songs on my guitar

[@chris.bradshaw]

Golden material!

[@richowen4377]

Desdimona Tx says howdy!

[@frankferriolo9212]

I'm with Rex. Old-school approach with the rig is the best. This new digital way....SUCKS!! I dont care what anybody says. Digital equals bad sound for metal as far as I'm concerned. This new digital interface way might be good for Pop & Rap; but not metal. Period! Just put some cabs on the stage with your amp. Get some monitors and mic it all up. Period! Screw that "cab off the stage" crap with a in-,ear monitor. I couldn't deal with it.

[@terribletimes01]

Fucking love Rex. I will listen to anything he has to say. Job well done Fellas

[@clausm2203]

Great interview

[@mcafee1971]

Can we get that question? I’ve read through the comments and I can’t seem to find the question. Love these videos

[@tone-talk]

What question?

[@maximeputigny1135]

I try : the mystery pedal is a Vox wah, for more cutting sound ?

[@PetParadiseVB]

So what is the Yamaha combo amp?

[@belongtoit]

did Rex ever get that yamaha combo back?

[@tone-talk]

No, the guy didn't sell it back to him. Not cool.

[@edwincrain986]

So he's been to obx right

[@shmokeyamomked9431]

So what was dimes secret amp?

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

This was just an amp that Dime & I used in the early, pre- Phil days, that has gone missing,,.
