Reuniting Defunct Bands: Why Stop With Pantera?

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

For the love of fuck, watch the ENTIRE video to the end. I said I wasn’t going, but if you want to, then go and have fun and feel good about it as long as you know what you’re getting into. I even listed positives about this business. I do think some people are missing the point. It’s not like other bands that continue after a member dies, this is Pantera. The band was started and ran by the brothers, a family business. In this case, the chemistry was absolutely important. Chemistry in some bands is more important than skill. You can say “but Lynard Skynard” and “but AC/DC” all you want, but these all work or don’t work on a case by case basis. And if it’s “just a business and their job,” then why should anything be sacred?

[@kristophertibbets5986]

I respect you and your opinion. For a young kid I think you do quite well for yourself. But just keep in mind two things. Zakk Wylde was the first person to say anything and no one says shit about that. He straight up said “This is not Pantera.” And the widows don’t eat when Phil and the illegals sell merch or tour. I’d definitely be willing to bet that’s why it’s billed that way. And I’m all for those queens eating. I’d definitely Rest In Peace if my wife could continue to thrive from my hard work after my passing. Not everything has to be black and white. Keep up the good work kid. I’m new to you, but I love your videos.

My two cents: I think Zakk Wylde and the other guy from Anthrax are good choices to fill in but if they called it something else like Cowboys from hell, Rise, or Mouth for War or something like that just don't call it Pantera cuz imo without Dime or Vinny it's not Pantera

[@OfMoonlightAndGrave]

On the topic of this, where would bands like Sepultura and Suffocation sit? They perform under the original name but neither of them really have any original members left in their lineup. To me, at this point, they're tribute bands who've adopted a name

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

You’re right. I love Hobbs, but Suffocation isn’t really Suffocation anymore. It was weird enough without Mike Smith, and I got to see them with Frank once. Now I never need to see them again.

[@deckerh.7620]

@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack Suffo’s new singer is good though, but maybe that’s because I’ve never seen them live with any other vocalist

[@Gregbaltzer]

Paulo has been in Sepultura since their first album, so he counts as an original member. Andreas has played on every album except the first. Egor stayed in Sepultura for 4 more albums after Max quit, at that point Andreas and Paulo had put in 20 years of their blood and sweat into the band when Igor quit. So why should they have to give up the band because 2 members quit? At this point Derrick has been in the band longer than Max was, and they've made more records without Max then with Max, so to call them a cover band is ridiculous. Napalm Death has no original members and no one cares

[@coffeman3575]

pantera is my favourite band i always wanted to see them live but i know i couldnt becouse the main force behind the band isnt here, but im not gonna be mad about the "reunion" as long they dont make any new music. that would be just a crime against humanity

[@A-man1998]

I honestly thought I was never going to see Pantera when I first got into them. (When I was like 14) but when I heard that Phil and Rex were doing this, I was really excited. A chance I never thought was going to happen turned into a golden opportunity for me! Is it going to be the same without Vinnie or Dimebag? I'm sure it's not, but I'm probably not going to tell the difference since I've never seen them when they were both alive. Would it have been better to call it "A Tribute to Pantera"? Sure, but honestly I'll take what's coming to me.

[@theecuadorianxl2471]

I would want Eternal Suffering to make a reunion. I understand they were basically an underground brutal death metal and nobody really knows about them outside of people who listen to the genre but man did they make the best slam around the late 90’s and early 2000’s. It was slam done right. I really recommend listening to their full length “Drowning in the Tragedy” and their EP “Echoes of Lost Words”.

Please read this people. I have something for you guys to think about regarding Pantera. My comments won’t reflect negatively to either side of the fence here. I get the sensitivity on both sides of the fence. Pantera fans are easily the most passionate fans in the world, well at least neck to neck with Slayer. But put two things into perspective here. One Zakk said “This is not Pantera.” Yet it is billed that way. So I get the confusion. Number two, which is actually the most important factor here. The widows don’t make money from Phil Anselmo And The Illegals tour and merchandise. But anything with Pantera goes on their dinner tables. I can’t speak for Vinnie’s old lady because I have no idea what her capacity is or what she’s allowed to do. But Rita isn’t just sitting on her ass collecting cash. She’s out working hard all year long. Dime’s guitars for example, we all know the scenario with Dean. She did the right thing by Dime getting out of that contract. She’s doing the right thing for everyone getting Grady involved and Dean Zelinsky. Dime Hardwear, Dime Bash, The Ride for Dime. I was privileged enough to see and meet Pantera. and I’m excited to see what this might do for metal. There are young kids (mine included) who hear this music and get passionate about it, even though they weren’t there. Seeing this shit live at this level could do some damn good shit! Pantera saved metal, and even though half of them are gone, the legacy of Pantera may need to save metal again. Let’s be honest guys, the core and the crybabies have pretty much taken over the metal scene. There are still plenty of good bands doing plenty of good shit, but a bunch of those guys won’t be around too much longer. Lamb of God for example. Randy straight up said he wouldn’t be doing this shit nine ten years down the road. Maybe this inspires something new and refreshing from younger crowds. I get the passion. But please don’t hate. Their best friends are paying tribute here. It might be billed as Pantera, but as Zakk himself said it “THIS IS NOT PANTERA.” Maybe take that for what it is and appreciate it.

[@themetalheadmartian4249]

isn't there plenty of bands for the iconic lineup wasn't the original?

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Which is fine sometimes, but in this case it really was Darrell and Vinnie’s band. They started it together, ran the business, did everything together. Only thing that stopped Dime from joining Megadeth was Vinnie couldn’t come. With some bands its all about chemistry on stage and in the songwriting.

Imagine Grym Synner/Devil Daddy replacing Peter Steele for Type O Negative.

1:40 well said

[@KardboardKenny]

Type O Tribute would be great w/Denis Pauna (here on yt)

[@665demondog]

0:29 why be excited for Pantera (Fagtera, Shittera) when Marduk, Possessed, Cradle of Filth and Epica are on there

[@DefenestratedMessiah]

I once saw "Carnivore AD" and they literally had a Peter Steele look-alike.. was pretty weird but I'm sure he would've found it funny

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

I miss Peter so much

[@thingfish000]

Peter was one in a million.

Funny you mentioned the Minutemen! Mike Watt & the Missingmen have been doing Minutemen sets for quite some time now. He recruited guitarist Tom Watson from Slovenly to do D. Boon's parts. Raul Morales and more recently, young Nick Aguilar have played drums. It's honestly really brilliantly done and Tom Watson is phenomenal in his role. Not quite the larger than life D. Boon, but he captures the spirit perfectly. Oh, and let's not forget Voivod! I never thought it would be possible to replace Piggy (RIP) but somehow they found the one guy in the world who could not only fill his shoes, but somehow channel the songwriting spirit. Daniel Moncrief has revitalized Voivod and their last two albums are two of the best they've ever done. Getting back to this Pantera act...I won't bother with them because I basically hated them in the 90s and think Phil Anselmo is a little puke.

Geoff Rickley for Joy Division and Cronos for Motorhead but good choices

[@douglasransom4138]

If you wanted to reunite Motorhead with a Lemmy replacement, there's only one guy who comes to mind to replace him, considering how similar they look and they both sing and play bass. Jeff Walker of Carcass.

[@Gregbaltzer]

Slayer did it with Jeff Hanneman and Repentless was their worst album

[@samuelblinne6040]

Keep up the good work

[@TheBaker2004]

You are awesome mate….love watching your video, please make more highlight videos about Industrial Metal music PLEASEEEEE………….

[@alexanderson2086]

Megadeth has only Dave and no original members but their new album is great, what would be wrong if Pantera did something similar?

[@NEXUS2040]

What about Napalm death? They have no original members.

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Mitch kinda gave them the band and they were doing most of the work anyway by the time he left. In Napalm’s case, Shane and Barney were around for a while before Mitch left anyway so I think as long as those guys are there, it’s cool. Napalm’s always been progressive in a way.
