Pantera "Reunion"? What do you guys think?
Are you taking to me?
Tribute is a better term but im excited for it. You?
100% against it.
The word reunion is in very bad taste. It will be cool to see the songs kept going though
Nope. No Dime and no Vinnie no deal. This is an insult to the Abbott brothers. At least call it a tribute band. As good as Zakk Wylde is he can't recreate what Dime did in the guitar. Dime had is own style and feel. Just my humble opinion 😌
Don't get me started on Nita Strauss leaving Alice Cooper band to play for Demi Lovato 🤦♂️
I am personally very happy that this is happening. Phil and Rex got the approval from Abbott state and their family members. This is gonna wash away a lot of bad blood between Phil and Pauls. Unfortunately, two of them died. We cant see them on stage ever again. It is what it is. Lets celebrate Pantera majesty by continuing the legacy. Rex and Phil were a important part of the band, as much as other two were.
You mean from the Abbotts - Paul was Vinnie's middle name, not his last name. The brothers' surname is Abbott.
@@dowens3781 I haven't had my coffee yet today and I was having such a difficult time trying to figure out who the Pauls were. Haha
@@dowens3781 Yes bro, I wrote that 2 AM my brain was half asleep 😂. I corrected
@@zachiswayposi1
Maybe he was thinking of Jake and Logan Paul 😄
@@dowens3781 LMAO
PANTERA should definitely tour with Phil and Rex! We should celebrate Dime and Vinnie too🤘
Voting for a Coffe with Brandon Ellis! He's such a BEAST! also seems to be a cool guy!!!
I have spotted the legendary Brandon Ellis! I hope he finds all the happiness and success that he deserves!!
It's so cool that Ola can just talk to Gary Holt
I actually happy that they reunite. Phil drastically improved his vocals. He sounds amazing now. It is time for reunion.
its likd they pissing on the Abott Brothers Grave
@@Endo-uu8mo I'm with him. it's just not Pantera without dime and Vinnie.
@@heylookitsn0ah It's not PanterA without Rex and Phil too. Don't be bias. It's great that we didn't lose all 4 of them.
As a Pantera fan since 1991, I am cool with it because no matter what the media says, I do believe it is being done as a tribute by the guys and it's keeping those great songs alive 🤘
I'm 18 years old, I Born in 2004 (Same year when Dime was killed), I discovered Pantera thanks To My father that It Is a Huge Fan (even he Likes the glam Albums of Pantera), so I started to listen to Pantera when I was Like 9 or 10 years old, it's so awesome that Phil and Rex will reunite Pantera, I'm from Mexico, and some rumors say that the First Concert of the Pantera Reunion will be in December in the "Hell & Heaven" Metal Festival This 2022, before make their USA Tour in 2023, so me, My Brother and also My dad are very excited To go and live the Concert
Edit: My father also told me that he had te oportunity to watch Pantera almost all the Concerts that they Made Here in Mexico
Same here brother, I was 2 when dime was killed and my dad showed me the way lol. Can’t wait to see them with my father.
thats why this Tribute show would be Good for people like me Pantera fan since 1990 ( & Never saw them live )
and for younger Fans who Never seen them Live.
Tainá from Brazil, she´s amazing!!!!Crypta!!!!
Fell in love with Pantera back in ‘97. From a friend that gave me the “Cowboys from hell” cd. Never looked back. My #1 Favorite band of all time. Never got the chance to see them live, So I will now. Is this the Pantera I’d give my left arm to see “NO” nevertheless I won’t miss this chance to here the songs I grew up listening too played live by two of the remaining members! It is a Tribute and always will be now. R.I.P. Dime & Vinnie!🤘will forever be missed! I think it’s about time and needs to happen. Those songs need to be played live for the masses!🔥
I mean.... seeing them now is not really seeing them. ITs seeing a variation of them with two of the most important pieces removed.
Ill say this much, i saw them 3 times and one of those shows was the near perfection you'd imagine. The other 2, one Phil was too fucked up, throwing up on stage, barely singing, it was pretty bad. The other one Phil and Dime were both very fucked up and while it was better than the second one, it was still pretty bad. And from what i understand, most people who have seen them multiple times, have had this same experience. Now im sure things are different now because Phil is..... nearly 60 and Zakk does not have the drinking issues Dime did but i don't know. I cant bring myself to go see them. I find this interesting and ill watch some videos of it. But its not Pantera and even if it was, i would question the quality of the show.
I got into PanterA about 3 weeks before they split, so also never got to see them. I did see Vinnie and dime(with damage plan) 6 months before dime died and they did walk. Fast forward a couple of years and I went to see down, who had Rex playing bass at the time and they also did walk. So i have seen pantera do walk just not all together or at the same time lol. I'll deffo be going to the tour!
@@dannyeglen4750 yea I got to see down in Myrtle beach back in 2001-2002. Whatever time I came back from deployment. It was a intimate setting and they were like 15 feet away and able to step off stage and shake hands. It was awesome. Rex was playing bass too. Anyways, totally not missing my chance to hear these songs played live ever again!🤘
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 it is just a TRIBUTE, is it hard to understand gaddammit
@@ernestofb591 Its not a tribute.
Tribute bands or tributes, don't have original members of said band and don't go by the name of that band.
Calling them a tribute band is like calling Alice in Chains a tribute band.
No.
Its the same band, with replacement pieces.
Do you not know what a tribute band is?
"Oh shit, we got a gig next week?! "
Love it! Even all the way to the top, it still happens. This gives me hope. And a hell of a laugh.
I love all your shows. This is the first SWOLA I've seen with you playing live. It's so great seeing you perform with a live band! Thank you sir!
Can we all take a minute and agree that ola englund would be the perfect fit to play guitar in a pantera reunion!😊👌👌
No Terry Glaze, No Pantera!
Seriously tho, I'll be at whatever show comes closest to my hometown. Zakk and Charlie are fine choices to pay tribute
Ola: “Get ready for some shitty riffs”
Also Ola: proceeds to play a riff that kicks everyone else out the water 🤣
Yes Ola, please do an updated 2022 tutorial on how you go about recording your guitars. I too have been a fan/subscriber since that first Matt Damon voiceover video and that’s how I discovered you. Love SWOLA and everything you do! In terms of the Pantera “reunion” I was blessed to have played a show with them here in NY back in 1991. Dime and Vinnie were the best and were so cool to us. It’s a night I’ll never forget. I’m sure there are lots of people that never got to see Pantera in their prime let alone get to just hang out with Dime and Vinnie all night the way I was fortunate enough to have. As for me, I’m ok with just the memories I have from back in the day, but I know there are so many who will enjoy the upcoming tour. RIP Dime and Vinnie 🙏🏻
Wow! You probably have some insane stories to tell!
@@stevemuzak8526 Def a night to remember! Have some cool pics as well but obviously there were no iPhones in 1991 so not as many as I would have liked! Dime wore our bands t-shirt on stage that night as well. He was so freaking cool!
I got in to metal in 2006 and found Pantera a year or so later. Never got to see a live version so this would be a dream come true. Is it the original Pantera? No. Is it a group of guys that love the abbot brothers and want to give one last hoorah? Hell yeah.
Guess it good for that
It should be a nice *tribute* to Pantera. Pretty sure that's what Phil and Rex are calling it
When I saw them the brothers were amazing but phil was so fucked up he could barely talk. Phil ruined the only chance i had to see pantera.
@@InfernosReaper It'll never be Pantera. But it's the closest we're gonna ever get.
@@Ottophil Man, I'm sorry. His ass needed to get into rehab sooner
I'm really glad to see Tainá in your video, I hope to see one coffe with Ola with her
The Metal Community shall stand tall at this critical juncture. For we must fight for the throne of true Metal power.
the other day, YT randomly showed me Zakk covering the Walk solo and he did an insanely good job. and he loved Dime, so this seems like a pretty good choice
Oooh actually a Coffee with Brandon Ellis would be absolutely sick ! Would really enjoy a long interview between you too ! 😄
You see I care so much more about that rocking girl playing the Solar on stage! She's getting it!!
This is gonna be an interesting one! Happy Sunday everybody!!!! 🤘🔥
Pantera without Dime and Vinnie? I wasn’t sure I was down with it. Zakk and Charlie being involved…Now I’m stoked! 😎👍🤘
lol Zakk ruined Rhandys solos Sabbaths Solos and now Dimes 🤬
@@Endo-uu8mo We don't care. We care about their legacies carried on by another musicians and their own bandmates.
People go nuts when Phil comes on stage for a song with some random band to do a momentary tribute to pantera during their show, but add Rex, the original bassist, and make a show of it, and now it's bad? And yeah Phil said some very bad things about Dime for sure and the other, but he's every bit as responsible for Pantera's sound as the Abbots. Don't hear people talk about pantera before cowboys from hell, and don't hear too many people really talk about Damage plan. And hell, even if someone don't like Phil, I'd still support to keep it alive in the generation, and most importantly, for Rex. Imagine never being able to feel that energy again that was taken from you so young. It's therapy for them both, and it'd be therapy for me as well, especially considering I never got to see them when whole. Yeah, it's not gonna be the same, but people don't have a problem with, and still pay to see ZZ top, Judas Priest, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Journey, G n R, Megadeth, Kansas, the list goes on. I mean I get it, but it's not that bad when you think about it.
Well said 😎
All the money phil and rex make off old songs is plenty therapy
@@Ottophil have you saw phil's house? It's kinda run down from what I can tell. Google has pics of it when it was pretty nice but it's went downhill. I saw recent vids near it from a spoof thing a channel was doing with Phil. I don't expect you to have seen it, but yeah he doesn't drive no real nice car or anything either heck his pickup is 20 years old has a duct taped tail light and has for years or did back when the house was newer and did at the time of that spoof vid, too, so a good 15 years later still had the duct tape. And in fact, he didn't have enough money to save his dad's restaurant in New Orleans either, which he was pretty desperate to do. He ain't shittin in high cotton anyway and didn't have 50k or whatever to save the restaurant. Looks like he's getting by, but not necesarily got a lot. He spends a little money on his horror stuff but who doesn't have a hobby. Now Rex, I don't know as much. I did hear he drinks absolutely constantly though. I dont think they're rolling in the dough. Especially now that their album sales have probably went down tremendously compared to 2000's. Phil has done many many recent and somewhat recent interviews, and I'd say its mostly because he needed the money. I could be wrong, sure, but idk.
@@JETGuitars yet touring is nog going to make them millionaires, tours cost a lot of money to organize, and unless you do everything yourself like Joe Bonamassa you’ll lose a lot to venues and promoters… so I am fairly certain this genuine and not a money grab as some are saying…
@GRT XYZ
Except it’s going to make them more than anything else either of them can do at this point in music. More than making albums with down or PAatI ever could. There’s a reason bands these days tour constantly, because that’s where the money is both with ticket sales and merch, and Pantera having the history they do and this hype behind the “reunion” will make it very very likely this is their biggest pay day left on the table.
Personally idgaf about what Pantera wants to do today. NOTHING will ever ruin those awesome memories I made when they was at their prime. Methinks moar live metal is ALWAYS a good thing for us all. Metal heads unite! 🤘
One time I sold Brandon Ellis a guitar when I worked at Guitar Center. Really cool dude, just another person. No big headed personality and down to earth!
I'm totally up for it. Dimebag and Vinnie are irreplaceable, but having Zakk and Charlie honouring their songs is mad respect. Some would say it is a cash grab. I disagree. Phil has always continued to put successful records out and tours constantly but to tour as Pantera? Pantera is a fucking monster.
It's a half cover band. The heart and soul of the band are dead. Calling this newfangled thing "Pantera" was a shitty thing to do, especially since Dime and Vinnie respected Phil and Rex enough to form a new band (Damageplan) as opposed to just continuing on with "Pantera" while Phil was ignoring them and prioritizing DOWN and Superjoint Ritual back then. While this current thing is certainly a fat payday for all involved, I feel it's all more about weird, unresolved internal shit for Phil and a bunch of others involved. Pantera died when Dime died, and since Vince is dead as well, what's left of its members are a bassist, and a vocalist who can barely muster the performance from the latter half of the discography. No thanks.
Anyone who wants to see this sad attempt of a band need to get their head out of their asses
@@StephenChapman if they announced they would be releasing new stuff as Pantera with this line up, I'd be on that side. But I totally understand what you're saying. As for Phil not being able to perform, totally disagree. Check DOWN at Hellfest or latest performances with The Illegals.
Without Dimebag there is no Pantera Vinnie can be replaced but not dime
@@metalm4910 - no one can be replaced. I reckon it would be for the fans and also for themselves. They're not releasing new stuff as Pantera. It's going to be an official tribute.
Absolutely I can’t wait to hear them rock down the joint🤘🏼
THAT. RIFF…was AMAZING!!!!!! Great content as always Sir. Ola. Cheers mate.
Pantera reunion is cool! Also really cool to see the behind the scenes of you playing the Haunted gig. A very wholesome video. Thank you Ola!
I think you should be the clear choice instead of Zakk! I am from Texas, became a Pantera fan in 1990 and have never stopped being a die hard Pantera, Dime, Vince, Rex, and Phil fan. I have followed everything that each one of them has done and supported all of them 100%. I was able to see Pantera live 4 times through their time on stage together. And have seen and or hung out with Phil probably 20 times with all of his numerous projects/ bands. I am a horrible guitar player but have been in love with the guitar since the late 70's when I discovered music/metal/guitar etc. You are impeccable on guitar and when you play anything of dimebags I can close my eyes and I can't hear the difference. Love ya brother!
For me, I think if you didn't get to see them live those years ago and want the loud, in your face live experience, great. Im just glad I got to see them all those years ago. And Zack wylde is the only man on earth that should ever try to step in dimes shoes. I like charlie too. Both of them were friends of dime and Vinnie and spent decades touring with and knowing them.
That's what I'm sayin'
Last time I heard zach play one of dimes solos he kinda flubbed it. Couldn't imagine listening to a whole set of flubbed solos.
Well now that I finished the video and see that Zakk is confirmed lol I think all the fans are nonetheless just glad, especially for those of us who haven’t seen them live, to have a dream becoming true of catchin’ a pull 🤘
@@guitarware *getcha pull
@@scottypippen3778 doesn’t work with what I was saying
Love seeing the touring Vlog stuff! So cool to see the behind the scenes! 🤘
I couldn't be happier.tonight we will be celebrating your music.i am going to a Pantera tribute show tonight.i bet they are going to get everyone worked up for you,Phil,Charlie,and zakk.i will be thinking about you all tonight.in my mind,thoughts,and heart.👍💡🖐️😁🎸🎵🌟☕
Very excited to see all the old footage. Dad coming in clutch with the content!
Ola you should do one Sunday with Ola all in Swedish 😁 with English subtitles 😁😁
Apologizes, then lays down one of the sickest opening riffs... Love it lol.
Dude! Was totally fun watchin you rip it up live! Kudos to your lady for tapin that.
Brandon still looks so sad. I hope you gave him a big hug.
Brandon always looks like that imo
Getting Benante and Wylde onboard seems a good move - both don't have to prove themselves anymore than they already have for many decades, and there's a legit camaraderie between everyone.
When Slayer needed a replacement for Jeff Hanneman the reached out to Gary Holt mainly because Holt's a good friend & they cut their teeth together.
Of course being able to play the material is vital, but whoever Rex & Phil will take onboard must also definitely gel as a person.
They understand what this reunion will mean to the audience.
Imagine The Beatles doing this - Paul and Ringo getting 2 other people on guitar to replace George and John?
You could start an entire industry on the ensuing memes alone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 Ola would make a nice Beatles Vocal/Guitar!
They could get George's son and either of John's sons
Awesome as always. Looking forward to seeing more of the old young ola clips
Awesome to see you guys playing The Flood. Love that song.
Ola says be prepared for 'shit' riffs. LMAO. If that's shit, what is the good stuff? Pantera, I'm ready. Saw them in 99/2000. I'd love to see Phil and Rex again. It won't be the same, but I love Pantera's music. Hearing them live back in the day was one of the best metal shows I had ever been to.
Laughed my ass off at the fragile stickers on the case being drug and almost falling over in the gravel 😂 and dude, I can't wait to see the home vids! That'll be so cool! I always love seeing that type of thing. Wish more youtubers would do it.
dragged, not drug. come on bro
I always say Pantera was the best band to ever grace this earth. I was lucky enough to meet them and see them three times. Honestly there isn't a day I don't think back to those times and while Dime and Vinnie are gone, their music should live on forever. So I will be there.
Super excited for the reunion. You and Vogg were the first two I thought of to carry the torch outside the obvious Zakk connection.
I think it would be great to see them play again, Shure with out Dimbag an Vinnie will be different, but listening pantera live will be fantastic 😁😁
Pantera was my first "own" band after listening to dads Metallica and Rainbow vinyls. Far beyond driven blew my mind 🤯
@We Don't Have Supreme Love for Negations he probably means a band he discovered by himself.
Yes, I‘d love to see some more instructional vids again. That was the whole thing I started watchibg!
This will keep the Pantera name and music alive. The music is so good that it needs to be played forever.
@@E.L.C. Again I think it's a good thing. Yes it's a business. Sorry your feeling are hurt that Phil and Rex are playing Pantera music and using the Pantera name in a band that they were apart of.
@@E.L.C. what are we going to do about it? It's a business dude.
If that opening riff was tuned way down to hell, it would be an amazing fear factory-esque riff
Pantera Reunion Rocks!!! Zakk Wylde being Dimes Best Budd makes it somewhat Official though the guitar spot is filled but the drums is going to be interesting if those shoes can be filled. I personally think the line-up is awesome drums and all.. I know one thing the first few shows and the last few shows are going to be the most emotional and ROCK the most!!! Right on ;) 💀
Charlie Benante will do just fine
@@majesticpbjcat7707 You're right that guy is awesome on drums!!!
Awesome to be here. Thanks Ola & Louise 🖤
Please Ola, I would love another recording video like the early days. Love your tones and would love to learn more about your new concepts. Cheers!
I think Zack will do just fine performing with Pantera
He is gonna be awesome.i can't wait for 2023.
Ola and Delta would be my choice for Pantera reunion. Delta nails Vinnies drum style and has same setup. 🤘just my opinion..
dork aleeeert
I saw pantera in 2000. They had a big metal pantera sign attached to pyrotechnics that would shoot flames when Phil would scream. I was halfway back on the floor and I could stillfeel the heat. Those truly were cowboys from hell.
i just wanna say that is AWESOME !!! that Pantera music is once again in the mainstream !!!!
Taina quebrando tudo, crypta nas alturas o/ as brasileirinhas ganhando o mundo
I’m all for the Pantera reunion if they do it right. Get a guitarist that has the same playing style and overall vibe of dimebag, which it looks like they have done with Zakk, and a hard hitting aggressive drummer to match the intensity of Vinnie, I personally would’ve preferred Gene Hoglan but Charlie is a decent choice
I don't think Gene Hoglan could physically take on another gig. I was expecting it to be Chris Adler, who seems more in line with the "Pantera style".
Not even close to the playng style. zakk is a good player but cannot tap the Dime vibe.
@@LCRLive687 I can't wait to NOT hear Zakk ruin various parts of Pantera's music with his same old pentatonic runs. (Yes, he's a phenomenal player, but he's been "saying" the same damn thing on the instrument for countless years now.) Wes Hauch is the only guitarist I've ever heard the heart and soul of Dime's playing come through.
@@cope847 I was wondering if anyone other than myself had Adler in mind.. I'm honestly not a big Anthrax fan (although I did like the John Bush era), so I don't know if Charlie's on the same level as Vinnie.. Then again, I hate the idea of this whole thing happening, especially if they use the name PanterA (by itself).
@@StephenChapman Wes could definitely pull it off, especially with Grady's help backstage.. but Zakk can sell more tickets, and that's what this is all about.
I just hope he tries to at least "blend" some of Dime's tone with his own.. Maybe compromise on things like pickups (like using Duncan Blackouts, since they sound like EMG's w/18v, but they have blade magnets like a Dimebucker.. Little things like that matter.
attila!!! 🙌🙌 i would LOVE to see him with phil and rex!
Great job Ola! (That includes, well, everything!) The gig, t/talk about Pantera, and not lest - having a look at your younger self!!
Black Panthrax Society
I'd vote for Attila Voros also, this man is the closest to Dime i know of and pays so much attention to details & articulations of his playing. Tbh i'm a fan of Pantera since childhood and i have no problem with this reunion, all the arguments online i read don't really have merit and lead nowhere:
1- " Vinnie and Dime would spin in their grave", no i dont think so. While they were alive they were clear about the fact that Pantera was a thing of the past for them and they moved on with Damage Plan. They wouldn't have cared after their death what would have happened to Pantera. Matter of fact, that's the best compliment you can make them : see the online community struggle to find a best fit for each to revive their work 20 years later. Not only they were never forgotten, Pantera still has an important place in our heart as metalheads.
2 - Cover band argument : really i don't know why that is a problem for fans now. Almost all of my iconic band have none of the original band members that made that band great at one point in time and we still go to their concert hyped af. Sepultura has no Max Cavalera, Metallica had no Jason Newsted ( or Cliff depending of your fetish), In Flames and Soilwork are constantly changing line ups, Mayhem had to rebuild the whole thing because there was only one member left....and there are millions of other examples no one bat an eye on but when i comes to Pantera...hell yeah Vinnie & Dime are certainly blushing right now.
Also let's not forget that Phil & Rex wrote these iconic songs too and they are the only one who can call it Pantera, it's as legit as this can get. After all it's a tour band, i don't think they will go on studio to write a new album....
Let's just hope that Rex & Phil are aware of the fans expectations : it's not just a Pantera revival, it's Dime and Vinnie revival too in a way.
Nah. Zakk's the man.
@@dowens3781 Zakk is just gonna play like Zakk. Friendship is cool but a "BLS meets Pantera" is not necessarily what we all hope for....
@@alfiesolomon3531
Zakk will kill it. I'd rather hear a player add a little of his own style than copy Dime's solos note-for-note like a tribute band.
@@dowens3781 Zakk always kills it but that's not the point. Imo he might add too much of his own style, Zakk & Dime have vastly different lead playing. I'm the opposite of you : i'd like to hear a very good rendition of Dime's solo. Amongst the myriad of copycats out there that can play & bend all notes perfectly on time, with an awesome tone there are very very few people who sound like Dime does.
That's why Attila is the man, his "tone is in the hands" approach & articulation make a difference.
If Ola himself ( who can play all Pantera tunes & solos) points in his direction, he knows that's the man right there
@@alfiesolomon3531
I'm sure Ola would be totally cool with Zakk doing it as well. And Dime and Zakk have "vastly different lead playing" styles? I wouldn't say that at all - they both came from the same era of hard rock/metal, both had many of the same main influences (such as EVH and Randy Rhoads) and both play bluesy pentatonic-based leads yet still shred.
Man, how cool is that? From RUclips early years to playing in the haunted.
Crypta is bad ass ! Nervosa is too ! The metal scene in South America especially Brazil is always banging . Those chicks thrash harder than most and cover a lot of styles, I definitely hear later Chaos AD and Roots era Sepultura influence, but also straight thrash, to groove metal, to maybe even some black metal in the vocals. Seriously if you haven’t yet you should check these girls out !
Pantera was & is the Abbott brothers!!! If its a tribute to them I believe it will be cool, if its anything else besides that its not a good thing for the fan base.
I think it's cool for the legacy of the band and for the Abbot bros, getting the name out there for a protentional new audience, but at the same time calling it a reunion doesn't feel right when half the people involved never had anything to do with the band. But I'd assume that's more of a marketing thing to get more nostalgia cred I guess. Terry Glaze should be involved in some way shape or form.
And I guess this means Zakk is gonna be the one to debut the new Dime guitars, so is Wylde Audio/Schecter making them, or maybe with Rex's new Gibson sponsorship, they could be up to something sneaky.
At the end of the day people still talking about Pantera is a good thing.
Actually, ZAKK WYLDE was very close to DIME, BIGVINPAUL, & PHIL, in the beginning of the 90s for sure. He supported them all as well as other friends. ZAKK motherfucking WYLDE is the only choice to shred with PHIL & REX
I figured Zakk would just play the Razorback Dime gave him. I don't know why Dime Guitarz haven't already come out. Ola started Solar Guitars pretty damn fast after leaving Washburn..
I see your point Myke....but for me...it isn't Pantera without VP and Dime. That's like reforming Nirvana without Kurt. People will still talk and listen to Pantera regardless of a reunion/tribute tour.
I had the good fortune to see the haunted at Gefle metal festival. It was a great show!
I’m all in!! Was fortunate to see Pantera 4 times and I think Zakk and Charlie are going to kill it!! Not too mention I think you should sit in for a song!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I mean, can we step back a second and just appreciate Phil and Rex for not trying to do this while Vinnie was alive and causing a lot of unneeded anger that would have been dragged out publicly? Or that they actually got the blessings of the Abbott family estate to do this instead of going through a legal battle like so many other bands have? There's a certain level of respect being portrayed here that is largely being ignored and I don't think it's fair to ignore it.
The fact vinny was so against it and the last proper spokesperson for the band as being the last true original member. I don't support this. If you respect vinny how could you support something that would 100 percent have him rolling in his grave
@@preston2636 Hey, we don't know what was in his will or what he was or wasn't ok with after dying.
What the hell kind of backwards logic is that? Let's stand back and appreciate two guys for not being callous assholes to the brother whose other brother was shot and killed on stage right in front of him? That's a pretty low bar to sit back and recognize.
There's no respect in this whatsoever. There's only a payday now that Vince is deceased and he can't put the kibosh on this. He was adamantly against ever having Pantera be anything other than himself, Dime, Phil, and Rex. In fact, that was the whole reason Damageplan was formed while Phil was being wishy-washy for years. The brothers were tired of waiting on him.
You want to talk about respect? It was out of respect to the original 4 (from CFH, of course) that the brothers didn't carry on with the name "Pantera". It was all or none for that band. That was always the agreement. Pantera was on hold until such a time that Phil wasn't prioritizing DOWN, Superjoint Ritual, and whatever the hell else. (Rex was always on board to continue.)
But then Dimebag Darrel died, and with him, so did Pantera. Vince made it clear throughout the rest of his life that there was never, ever going to be a Pantera again. Do you even realize what Pantera was to him? No Dime, no Pantera.
For anyone who has been clued into this whole thing throughout the years starting with Phil abandoning Pantera, it's blatantly obvious that this is now just a fat, convenient payday for Phil and the rest. They'd might as well stop by Vinnie's grave on tour so they can go spit on it, because that's basically what they're doing by shopping this half-cover band AS the band "Pantera". If it wasn't Pantera without Phil and Rex, then it sure as hell isn't Pantera without Dime and Vinnie.
It is what it is and I'm not as upset as it probably seems. I just had to chime in and let you know how bonkers your assertion sounds to anyone who has lived through the history of this band. Even if everyone else currently living is okay with it happening, at the end of the day, Phil knows that he's taking a hot shit directly on Vinnie's wishes by doing this. Given EVERYTHING Vinnie had to say about this up to his dying day, there's absolutely no reason to assume that Vinnie cast any sort of post-mortem support of Pantera carrying on without either of its two founding members.
Quite the contrary to your assertion, this all feels about as disrespectful of a thing as I can think of given the history. This definitely isn't an effort I can support in the way it's being done. But I'm just a rando, so I know it doesn't matter how I feel one way or the other.
@@preston2636 Did Vinnie actually say he was against a Pantera reunion at all under any circumstance... or was he just just against playing with and not associating with Phil on anything anymore? I think people are jumping to a false conclusion because there is a difference, he was just done with Phil... and it would have been in bad taste for them to do this while he was alive. He loved Pantera tribute shows, I saw him at a few. This is getting some of his best music out there live for the fans again, even Rita supports this 100%. If you want to make assumptions what his thought would be for this to happen given the circumstances, you don't have to go... makes it easier for us to secure our tickets.
@@StephenChapman At least they have you to speak on their behalf... lol.
Those Crypta girls slay!
That was bad ass to see Gary Holt pop up at the end
"Frutishion" 🤣 I love you man!! Keep making #metal videos!!! 🤘🔥🔥🔥
As far as being Pantera is concerned, the only consistent member of Megadeth has been Dave Mustaine, while similar is the case for AC/DC. In theory, the right musicians could at least play the songs and use the name.
As far as what this is, it's apparently just meant as a tribute. Pretty much nothing ever stopped Down or one of Phil's other bands from breaking out into a Pantera song or two during a concert with half of Pantera. *This* is something that's apparently got the blessing of the surviving Abbot family, so with the right guitarist and drummer, that's something a lot of people would be down for and would be a good show. I think they might have good picks lined up for it.
I can guarantee you this does not have the Abbott family blessing ! I'm waiting to see lawsuits
@@toddpisano352 It does have their blessing. The Abbott family is all for it.
@@thegreatsoutherntrendkill272 last time I spoke to Dime he said no that was right before he died his exact words were this and I quote Darrell. Their will never be a Pantera reunion. So your wrong it doesnt have Dimes blessing
@@thegreatsoutherntrendkill272 your just to dumb to admit the truth this is a money grab like Rita and the ride for dime it's a money grab ! This reunion will destroy Dimes legacy! Watch the trainwreck
@@thegreatsoutherntrendkill272 I never thought I'd ever see the day people make lame ass excuses to sponge off of Dime and Vinny's dead bodies ! You suckers have no soul ! To Jeff Mr biker Zack shame on you ! It's good to know your friendship has a price !
I'm so fucking lucky that my first concert was Pantera with all the original members. Still one of the best I've been to. Morbid Angel was on the bill and I think Soul Fly was there too. Just to see Pantera and Morbid Angel was enough.
West palm beach auditorium?

Also, I would love to see a re-vamp of your earlier tutorial as well with all the modern gears now :-)
So good to hear you are working on the "just sayin" I didn't want to comment on it but now I know I was not alone. LOL
After thinking long and hard about this topic, weighing the pros and cons, really thinking things through and evaluating all the possible repercussions of such a reunion, I finally found my true opinion: I just don't care. At all. It's just another "reunion tour".
As a long time fan of your channel....you Sir, should play for Dime live. I'm not even going to argue as to why other guitarists should not. Zak is more than capable, and a great friend of Dime's....but i would rather see a couple of new members that loved what those original guys did give it some real life to a new generation.
Imagine the show they d put on all that nerve ....can you imagine ola and the aforementioned channeling dime with that much untapped respect and humbled intent ....dude.
I'm just glad I got to see the original lineup live, and I even got to meet Dimebag at the end of the show and spend 20mins or so chatting with him (Manchester UK, Far Beyond Driven Tour).
Really enjoyed following you to and through the show. It very cool to see the process as I am a bedroom player. Played with friends and recoded but never on a stage. More of that content would be awesome. Seeing Pix is always cool and made me smile. We had to put our two Dachshunds down one week apart from each other with the last being yesterday. One cancer and one disc disease.
Just a thought on who Pantera "could" have as their guitarist, but I think it would be an interesting idea to have a rotating lineup of All-Star guitarists paying homage to Dime. Like Ola mentioned, Wes, Brandon and Attila are all wicked players and I'd be more than down to see them along with Zakk playing with Pantera
There's also a pile of drummers you could put on that list
like a traveling dimebash lol
Nah. As a touring band it makes 1000x more sense to have a solid lineup of the same guys who create a sound together.
you know with zakk and charlie in the pantera thing you have two guys that are capable of pulling it off and paying worthy tribute to dime and vinnie the only thing gets me is calling it a reunion, for me half a band isnt a reunion, maybe revisited or tribute tour would be better
Hi Ola!
Thanks for your work and energy. Just wanted to dump this somewhere, idk if you'll ever read my message, but its very important for me to get this off my chest..
.. After 10 years of being stoned and drugged everyday all the time, I am currently trying to stop that shit, it ruins me and hurts everything i love, esp. Guitar playing.
Your content is a blessing, which came along, and i watch your and Glenn Frickers content to get over the most awful parts of cleaning/sobering up. I'm on a good way and your Vlogs with The Haunted motivate me to achieve goals again.
Watching you and Louise is just wholesome and i said to myself: Fck, i want smth like that.. Love, Swedish death and fun in life. No more drugs, no more running from feeling things.
I play for 'bout 25 years, had the chance to study music, do studio and touring, but smoked it all away.
It's rough, but I'll get through it. If i manage to stay sober 'til December, I'll get the Sustainiac Solar and go to IA's Freak Camp next summer. 😁🤘
I just wanted to put it out there, bc it's lighter to put this out. Maybe you'll stumble upon my emotional breakdown down here.. Gotta get it off my chest^^
Oh, and I'm clean for a week now, after not sobering up for 10-15 years. rough, but its okay.
Thank You. Looking fwd to SWOLAs, Vlogs and other Vids in the future. Thanks, man. Youre kind of the virtual go-to-place i need in this particular moment.
All the best to you, hopefully you achieve all your goals too. 🤘
Stay as you are, your new fan, Peter.
Great to see you playing live again Ola! Sounding great brother. Have a great week!
8:19 really cant believe you didnt mention kayla kent. she above all people right now is doing the most justice to pantera stuff. go watch her cemetery gates, floods, domination solos they're incredible. and she dedicates her entire channel to dime.
There are many guitar players that could pull it off including Kayla and also Courtney Cox for instance, I was just throwing out examples.
I dont think she fits in the pantera vibes with badboys around
@@Eri4Jp dude her playing stands on its own and honestly, if phil wants to undo his *cough* image *cough* he's developed since 2016, maybe he would do good asking a girl to join them on tour.
Great. Good choice to add Charlie and Zakk to the line-up
I saw Becoming the Archetype at a skate park, it was amazing! You rock Ola!
Ola, they're awesome cuz they arnt scripted! Love ya Ola! Have a great vacation with your family!!
Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as a Pantera fan who never got to see them together...this is as close as Ill get so IM hyped! People need to stop taking entertainment so seriously and enjoy....
It´s a real tough one... no easy answer as you said. Understand both sides ofcourse, but brothers Dime & Vinnie were freakin monster legends! Dime especially is one of my all time heroes (I´m a drummer and can´t play guitar but LOVE all things guitar just as much). And it goes without saying that Vinnie is also one of my heroes.
I still remember the news in 04´ when the tradgedy with Dime happened, but at that time i had never heard of Pantera, Damageplan or Dime. Some time later when i was at my friends house and were listening to music, he showed me his newest favorit guitar solo. It was a song called The Sleep by a band called Pantera. He was like: "Check out this amazing guitar solo, it has so much feel and is just insane". He put it on and i was hooked! Damn they sound good, heavy and hade awesome guitar/drum playing! It was at that time i remembered the news from before and i was like fuck, there is no more Dime...
They are to this day one of my all time favorites, they inspired us and many others to this day. Top tier legends!
So yes, Phil & Rex is just as much Pantera as Dime & Vinnie ofcourse. But it will never ever be the same just because Dime & Vinnie had such an impact on me. It can be done in a cool way but the musicians they choose is critical and as much as Zakk & Charlie are great it doesn´t really make it "tingle" for me.
Thats my "quick" take on it 😁
Ha de gött!
I loved your early videos lol. I remember them well!!! I made a video as well as soon as “the news” came out. Of course a few hours before they announced Zakk and Charlie.
Great show brought a smile to my face a few times!
A really funny, entertaining, and informative video. Bless you 😇
Man I wish I went to Gefle Metal Festival this year. Seeing those clips makes me miss that place.
Ola I’m almost 60 years old and can still listen to Pantera every day and never get sick of it. I’ve never seen them live and I want to. The first thing I thought of when I heard about the reunion was if Pantera went to Sweden you would get on stage and play a set with them. I think Dime is the best guitarist of all time and you honor him so well. Ola please upload a video next year with you playing a song on stage with Pantera, it would be epic!
