*1. Please ask Rex about performing on unreleased Damageplan songs as Rita Haney has publicly mentioned a desire for both PHILIP & REX to perform on those tracks.* 2. Home video #4 status update 3. Pantera has NO LIVE concert DVD. Will they ever release a full length headlining concert DVD? 4. NO ONE ever asks Rex about REBEL MEETS REBEL. 5. Would Rex ever want to work with DOWN again someday? Even if its just for one song or two when he has free time away from his solo band. 6. When is the 2nd solo album coming & will he tour this time Thank you. I look forward to your interview.
Rex deserves a lot more credit. He came up with a lot of Pantera riffs and layed solos under dimes solos and all sorts of crazy shit. You've heard it. Dudes a beast.
@@waylonbeasley2838 That he was!😊 He Didn't give fck all away to press magazine's etc (RESPECT Rex)👌 Kept everything to himself The first glimpse of anything!! that went on in the Pantera camp His view was in his book And before the book you got a very small!! glimpse in what was going on in that documentary About Pantera🤘
His licks are classic...I used to teach the bass lines in the solo's for "Floods" and "Throes of Rejection" to show the importance of being able to play any style. I could talk for hours about his playing, the man is a legend in my book.
lim jahey - Yea, just the other day I was listening to 5 Minutes Alone, and I kept rewinding the guitar solo to listen to Rex's awesome bass line behind the solo.
Rex was so good they never needed a rhythm guitarist. I remember an interview when someone asked Dime about having a rhythm guitarist in the band. He said….nah I leave that to Rex.
Dime was being modest. Dime essentially functioned as a rhythm and lead guitarist. There are lots of examples of bands with one guitarist. Cream, Janes Addiction, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers…
Rex is and always has been: No fillter and No bullshit! These guys always knew how good they were. If they sold 10 copies of a record, they could sell out any arena in the world. Long live Pantera!!!!!!
There is a knot in my stomach, knowing I can never have yall back. Warms my heart that you are still putting out content tho. I love you rex and I thank you! Please help put out FOUR! forever stronger than all! 👊
@@mattdunlap3485 insanely bad. he took out all the low end. all the thunder is gone. it's super gainy and added a bunch of shit that just sounds off. weird endings to songs, guitar bombs that sound out of key, etc. no thanks. sterlings mix is superior.
@@noahalcoser1977 I’m still scratching my head thinking how the fuck that happened I’ve seen pantera in 92-93. 01ish still have Dimes picks from the 1st two gigs . All our bands are getting old and dying it’s life and all them new bands that came out in the 00’s had no staying power that’s my opinion but to me they hadn’t an honest bone in there body about playing no danger in them either .
@@paulnash2027 lucky I’ve never seen them I was too young to do so. The music and that energy lives on forever glad the music is there, glad you got to witness it brother
An island unto themselves, no one can touch them! They took the torch after Metallica decided to take themselves out of doing visceral metal and started doing more easy going hard rock based stuff in the 90's. Everything from Cowboys onwards are classics but they're super crazy in a league of their own, visceral take no prisoners groove metal from Vulgar Display right up to Reinventing The Steel is unprecedented. That's an unbelievable body of work for any band regardless of genre, album to album. I feel they transcended the genre; it doesn't matter what they play it's all extraordinary. Only Sepultura comes close-ish with some of there albums making that sort of earth shattering yet compelling noise.
I'll never forget being in Chicago for the reinventing the steel tour. Slayer and Pantera both destroyed. We had balcony seats but as soon as Pantera hit, we jumped down into the pit \m/ \m/
@@mr.mojorisin6402 No, I don't believe this was the same one. At least I didn't remember that. I did remember when Limp Bizkit got booed off stage when they toured with Metallica at Hawthorn race track haha You know those little lemons they handed out in the waters? Yeah, those lemon were LAUNCHED at Limp Bizkit as soon as they said Mancow sucks HAHAHA
@@ddpyogavsrob4700 - ok, yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw them twice on that tour, though it's foggy now. Both times were w Slayer & Morbid Angel.... one show had Static X and the other it was Soulfly. People just kept chanting "Slayer" during Static X... the dude got pissed and walked off...haha, that's hilarious about Limp Bizket
Rex is one of THE best interviews in music I've seen. Gracious, accommodating, insightful, honest, just plain good to the interviewer. Super proud to be a longtime fan of such a cool dude. I lived in Taos NM for a couple years, he definitely picked an underrated jewel of a place to get away.
Rex is genuine and I'm a huge fan of all his work from Pantera, Down, his solo record and even his work with Crowbar, Jerry Cantrell and CC. Wish him all the best and hope to hear more Rex soon.
This is a great interview Rex is such a great guy and musician. You really appreciate how hard these guys worked when you think about how much touring they did for each album.
I wanted to make a separate comment to thank Rex for taking the time to talk with all of us. We all miss the Abbott brothers; you miss them more. We still miss them too, though. Hello from Portland Oregon, I'd say come visit but they just shut the cannabis club down because things shut down now. You can still visit but now I got no place to hold a proper non-alcohol focused party. :-( Glad you're still with us, I don't have many friends left either. A lot of people who made it this far are the same, so we know how you feel and you didn't need to talk about it. You didn't, but you did. So I wanted you to know at least one person out there really gets it. It's lonely when your friends leave to a place where you can't get them back from, literally. It's a little more...final. Wolfgang VH said something that seemed to resonate and I can't get the phrasing properly but it was basically that it's never going to stop hurting eventually you just trust that you'll be in the same place again someday. Or something like that, but it make me feel better about my friends that are gone for a second. Be well. Be safe. Be as happy as you can.
Went to the Limelight after the New York shows for Vulgar at Roseland , Rex and I were in the VIP bar upstairs , head to the pisser and theres a kid with a Pantera shirt on , Rex tells him ,, nice shirt as we walk past ,, the kids mouth dropped open like he saw God. Great fkn night.
Such a badass interview/chat. Rex is by far the most underrated bass player IMO, should be up their with cliff, but thats what happens when the goat is your guitar player
Chris great interview! 20 years unbelievable! Time flies by so fast! Rex good to see you again man! Seen you from the beginning days and still headbang daily to Pantera! Thanks for sharing everything! Agree with Chris like the original tracks on vinyl this is the music I dug daily! These music executives adding technology I get it, man! I still have my first vinyl albums bought then of Pantera! As well seen Pantera in concert so many times in USA! Met you a couple times you`re a cool dude! Waving a hand hello from Missouri, USA! RIP DB- VP! Take care!
I first heard Cowboys From Hell when I was about 12/13 years old, that was almost 30 years ago and have been a fan ever since and ALWAYS will be. I’m blessed to have seen them when they were not even playing arenas yet and also got to see them when they did. Amazing shows every time. Omg the memories! Had cassettes and VHSs lol and of course got the cds and dvds later. Seeing you all together is very missed but glad Rex and Phil are still out there making music. RIP Dime and Vinnie 💔
Rex is so humble... Talkin' about dreading going on after Slayer. I had the pleasure of seeing Pantera several times. I've seen them with everybody from White Zombie to Soulfly to Morbid Angel... and I can tell you CONCRETELY.... Pantera was the best heavy metal band OF ALL TIME... not only on the stage, but in the studio. The Sheer POWER and AGGRESSION of Pantera, was unlike anything else ever. Dime's guitars, The Thunder of Vinnies drums combined with Rex's bass, and undoubtedly the best heavy metal voice of all time being the cherry on top, not to mention the energy and vitality they brought to the stage is just unrivaled by any band that's ever lived or ever will. I just saw them again on the Legacy tour with Zakk and Charlie, and while it's not the same, it's STILL a very powerful experience. I hear a lot of the old school fans from back in the day bitching and complaining about "It's not Pantera" and this and that. FUCK that! This is the only Pantera these kids today are ever gonna get the chance to see.... And it's STILL better than most bands on the road. I'm always gonna have a DEEP love and respect in my heart for Pantera, they are now and forever my favorite heavy metal band of all time.
Rex is the most underrated bassist of all time. He is a monster! There is not another band in the history of the world they had as much talent as Pantera. I seen them 27 times and every show was like the first time I seen them.
''booze is a healer'', Phil confirmed the same thing, if I remember correctly, DIme said, ''c'mon man, just like in ol' country'n'western days''. Rex also mentions seeing parts of Homevideo 4 so that's great news. I just can't imagine how much material these guys have... Anyways, I'm off to go and roll a big ass joint and listen to this album again
Can’t wait for another home video or Dime vision!! Bobby and Rita have sooo many hours of footage and as a true fan I’d love to see it all and hear some unreleased riff tracks
@@JunkyardHog me too man, can't wait. I mean, they have so much material, that they can make numerous home videos, it's up to them how are they doing to do it. The thing is, when they released dimevision 2, there's so much footage in there, especially these short 1-2second clips that most of the people cannot catch if you watch the dimevision only once. You have to watch it a couple of times and pause the video every few seconds or rewind it, to catch all of it. The thing is, Bobby and Rita recorded most of the stuff, or if they didn't, they were there, so they know whats going, they know the background story. Unfortunately, most of us don't, so sometimes we have a hardtime catching up what's really happening, if you know what I'm saying. I think it would be a great idea to do all this editing with a good videographer, not only by themselves.
my 1st was in 97 !! damn this hillbilly didnt even know what a mosh pit meant !! still have nightmares!!!! I hear pantera on the radio to this day i duck just like that ,then throw a elbow , kids you just dont know !!we didnt spend whole show with a phone in our hand !! we spent whole show with someone's foot in our ass !!! No Safe Rooms !!!!
20 years!!! 😲 omfg am I getting old! This was a long waited pantera album that came out when I was in high school! I loved it, many people didn't. It was a time when people thought they were gonna break up and this album was rush out for the record labels and them to go back doin there own thing......... which... kind of was
My First Love and the Greatest Band ever!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ That is So Amazing he mentioned Deftones, Chino is on Film saying that Pantera was their first inspiration when it came to choosing the producer!!!
I had no idea it was the 20 year anniversary when I was listening to that CD this past weekend. I was driving my kids (son is 13 daughter is 10) back to their mom on Sunday and put on Yesterday Don't Mean Shit. My daughter was singing the chorus with a screechy growl and I was all smiles. I am all about the timing.
Yup! My son is 11 and me and my wife take him to most concerts with us. He's seen some amazing gigs for a kid his age. But I always tell him, "That was good. But, it wasn't PanterA with Morbid Angel on the Steel tour in '01..."
Hearing him talk about the recording process just reiterates my desire for a full documentary of them writing and recording. I know that's impossible now but it would have been amazing to see.
I'm a big pantera fan then and still am! I finally got to see them in person on their great southern trend kill tour in springfield missouri since I live in branson mo. I found one of Rex's bass picks on the concert floor . I still have that pick. I'm even a fan of the 80s pantera as well 🤘 Rex aka T Rex
Man this is a great interview! There's a lot of folks out there that should take notes on this one. Anybody who thumbs downed this interview, your parents failed as human beings.
Rex is the man! Such a thoughtful, down-to-Earth, and insightful cat. Vinnie and Rex were the anchor of Pantera. Tight af. I'm glad I got to see them a couple of times.
I've seen Pantera live so many times, from small venue Cardis to Compaq Center in Houston. BEST METAL SHOW EVER, my favorite show was Black Sabbath w/ Pantera and Deftones.
1st of 5 times seeing Pantera was August of 1996 (17 years old) at the Minneapolis Target Center opening bands Eye Hate God, Deftones, and White Zombie. Great interview man! I enjoyed it.
God I love Pantera. Seeing them live a bunch of times was an experience of a lifetime. I love Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven the most. Still love all the albums, even the pre Cowboys albums. Power Metal is sick. I wish they would have played some of those songs live. We’ll Meet Again would be so cool live, I like it more than Cemetery Gates.
the original might be a bit muddy on the low end but overall it just sits way better than the new mix. The remix is just too "clean", and that kind of makes the guitar sound harsh at times. Also drums sound weaker, i suppose too much compression. The original just needed a bit better low end cleanup, thats all. It sounds punchy asf otherwise and i love it. Not so much the remix.
This interview with the one and only Rex Brown is amazing. I told my brother when we were in a band you gotta get you're bass sounding like Rex' s or I'm walking 🤣🤣🤣🤣 GETCHA PULL 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
I saw that tour april 19 2000 great show and i still remember rex and winnie standing out from the show a solid rythm section and when they played walk the place went insane ..:D
Great interview. When RITS first came out I didn’t like it too much but in recent years I started to absolutely love it. Can’t wait to hear this remastered version.
His bass mix was always buried/scooped on the early records. His best mix was on the Rebel meets Rebel album- he positively shines on it. Perfect bass playing and righteous tone. He’s a beast on the bass; you can hear the jazz influence in the way he lays it down. Underrated
REX my man YES and you guys accomplished turning us ON to high voltage raw energy THANK YOU for those shows. Greatest experiences in my life. Nothing like the powerhouse of Pantera!
I agree with Terry Dade not messing with the original sound. Rex is a Legend. I’m still turning people on the Pantera all the time. They’re still my favorite band.
ozzfest 02 I wore a shirt that said f*uck you I have enough friends and at downs signing table Rex said I love that shirt man I told him I would give it to him if he gave me his shirt he stood up took his shirt off we traded shirts and he wore it on stage that day that will forever be my favorite Rex moment he wore my damn shirt and I still have his plain black shirt in storage love Rex and long love pantera!
Pantera has been my favourite band since I was 18 but to say they're the greatest metal band ever is a far stretch. I'll hands down give that to Metallica, the things they have accomplished and done in un measurable by any other band. Even with their sound changing they are still by far the most successful and biggest metal band ever. It is unbelievable to me that pantera is over too, I find it surreal and there will never be another pantera. But there will also never be another metallica. Music is changing, it's not how it use to be and that in itself is probably the most heart breaking thing.
@Ryan B yea i also think that. original had some mud issues (especially on low end) but it was killer otherwise, i always loved their sound on that one. The new mix drums just sound weaker (and vocals), and guitar is harsh at times. Its not bad but i prefer the original.
DBD was my EVH. As far as technique, innovation and attack, Pantera was an evolutionary lunge forward in metal. The power in those riffs and the artistry woven within their solos , will always stand out as one of rock historiy's most lethal ..Even if he got it all from Eddie. LOL

Rex was so good they never needed a rhythm guitarist. I remember an interview when someone asked Dime about having a rhythm guitarist in the band. He said….nah I leave that to Rex.
And honestly the solos are so much better without a rhythm guitar, and your hear only the bass and drums grooving. Heavy as fuck.
Dime was being modest. Dime essentially functioned as a rhythm and lead guitarist. There are lots of examples of bands with one guitarist. Cream, Janes Addiction, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers…
The break in the song , "I'll cast a shadow" is fucking phenomenal!!!!!

I saw them in Maryland on the ritstour and they were hard as hell and unfortunate it was the last time I saw pantera
@noisy parrot have to check that out
@noisy parrot where can you download it at? I heard he was talking shit about Vinnie and some about Dime.
@noisy parrot will do thanks 👍
@noisy parrot k thank you really I didn't know she did to.
Rex is responsible for Panteras groove. Incredible musician.
Vinny possibly had something to do with it as well.
All 3 Rex Vinny And Dime had something to do with the groove
Rightttttttttt. He played exactly what Darrell played 98% of the time so I’d say Darrell and Vinnie were.
careful now.... they were all pretty groovy dude
Yeah, I wouldn't say he was " responsible " for anything. He contributed to it.
There is a knot in my stomach, knowing I can never have yall back. Warms my heart that you are still putting out content tho. I love you rex and I thank you! Please help put out FOUR! forever stronger than all! 👊
Damm straight brother damm straight
Right on Adam ! As usual, we end up on the same comment section of a PanterA video. 🤟🏻

Good non-in person interview
I love how Rex has matured in his personality. This guy is incredible
here in Ky we call that burnt out ! Ill smoke to that ! lol
THERE IS THE BIG 4 AND THEN THERE IS PANTERA IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
thats what I always thought as well
Yep and to be honest as much as I Fucking Love Thrash and the big 4...Pantera is just on another fucking level
#facts
Indeed, if the big 4 are in the first league, PANTERA are definitively in the Champions League, without any doubt

Rex was also in Kill Devil Hill. They put out 2 studio albums.

The bass part during the solo on Floods is one of my favourite of all time.
Rex is so humble... Talkin' about dreading going on after Slayer. I had the pleasure of seeing Pantera several times. I've seen them with everybody from White Zombie to Soulfly to Morbid Angel... and I can tell you CONCRETELY.... Pantera was the best heavy metal band OF ALL TIME... not only on the stage, but in the studio. The Sheer POWER and AGGRESSION of Pantera, was unlike anything else ever. Dime's guitars, The Thunder of Vinnies drums combined with Rex's bass, and undoubtedly the best heavy metal voice of all time being the cherry on top, not to mention the energy and vitality they brought to the stage is just unrivaled by any band that's ever lived or ever will. I just saw them again on the Legacy tour with Zakk and Charlie, and while it's not the same, it's STILL a very powerful experience. I hear a lot of the old school fans from back in the day bitching and complaining about "It's not Pantera" and this and that. FUCK that! This is the only Pantera these kids today are ever gonna get the chance to see.... And it's STILL better than most bands on the road. I'm always gonna have a DEEP love and respect in my heart for Pantera, they are now and forever my favorite heavy metal band of all time.
Still driving to and from work blasting Pantera. As a 40 yr old metal head for life, these guys will always be #1 for me \m/\m/
Me too brother ,fuck yeah!
@@peaner083 HellYeah!
Rex is the most underrated bassist of all time. He is a monster! There is not another band in the history of the world they had as much talent as Pantera. I seen them 27 times and every show was like the first time I seen them.
Mr bungle lol
He's not underrated. Everyone I know says he's good.
''booze is a healer'', Phil confirmed the same thing, if I remember correctly, DIme said, ''c'mon man, just like in ol' country'n'western days''. Rex also mentions seeing parts of Homevideo 4 so that's great news. I just can't imagine how much material these guys have... Anyways, I'm off to go and roll a big ass joint and listen to this album again
@noisy parrot well, rex recommended it at the end of the video :D
@noisy parrot he said to smoke a joint, not to drink
@noisy parrot already did dude! 420 all the way
Can’t wait for another home video or Dime vision!! Bobby and Rita have sooo many hours of footage and as a true fan I’d love to see it all and hear some unreleased riff tracks
@@JunkyardHog me too man, can't wait. I mean, they have so much material, that they can make numerous home videos, it's up to them how are they doing to do it.
The thing is, when they released dimevision 2, there's so much footage in there, especially these short 1-2second clips that most of the people cannot catch if you watch the dimevision only once. You have to watch it a couple of times and pause the video every few seconds or rewind it, to catch all of it.
The thing is, Bobby and Rita recorded most of the stuff, or if they didn't, they were there, so they know whats going, they know the background story. Unfortunately, most of us don't, so sometimes we have a hardtime catching up what's really happening, if you know what I'm saying.
I think it would be a great idea to do all this editing with a good videographer, not only by themselves.
Pantera Video 4 Is gonna be the best and saddest thing ever. I can't wait to see it.
Still the best live shows I have been to.. 94 to 98 Panteta shows are unbeatable..
2001 final tour was the best.
my 1st was in 97 !! damn this hillbilly didnt even know what a mosh pit meant !! still have nightmares!!!! I hear pantera on the radio to this day i duck just like that ,then throw a elbow , kids you just dont know !!we didnt spend whole show with a phone in our hand !! we spent whole show with someone's foot in our ass !!! No Safe Rooms !!!!
Did the world get softer or did Pantera keep getting harder?
@@matkirk4783 The president too, if you will
Yes

@@mr.nobody68 hell yeah
Ever LP they made went harder especially the great southern trendkill which is their heaviest and darkest
The new mix is off the charts. Love it
I bought this CD on the day it came out. I was waiting for it. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. Very very special band.
20 years!!! 😲 omfg am I getting old! This was a long waited pantera album that came out when I was in high school! I loved it, many people didn't. It was a time when people thought they were gonna break up and this album was rush out for the record labels and them to go back doin there own
thing......... which... kind of was
My First Love and the Greatest Band ever!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
That is So Amazing he mentioned Deftones, Chino is on Film saying that Pantera was their first inspiration when it came to choosing the producer!!!
🤘😝🤘 my favorite band for ever thank you @thepit for this awesome interview with REX BROWN.. RIP DIME&VINNIE 💪PANTERA FOR EVER 🤜
Big Rex! .. unsung hero of the quartet! LORD UNMATCHED! (Phenomenal musician) 👑
Damn dirty bird. I'll do what I damn well please sir.
Every time I hear any member of this band talk ... I love them more... man. Such real dudes thanks brotha.
Hands down the best metal band Pantera was a monster and to listen to them now it still sounds fresh not dated at all
Yesterday don't mean s***.. Great song
I had no idea it was the 20 year anniversary when I was listening to that CD this past weekend. I was driving my kids (son is 13 daughter is 10) back to their mom on Sunday and put on Yesterday Don't Mean Shit. My daughter was singing the chorus with a screechy growl and I was all smiles. I am all about the timing.
Luv what ur doing..👍 pass it on to the next generation..we owe it to the music
My daughter is 3 and is always mesmerized by Domination 91 live. Since she was a baby it would always shut her up.
Yup! My son is 11 and me and my wife take him to most concerts with us. He's seen some amazing gigs for a kid his age. But I always tell him, "That was good. But, it wasn't PanterA with Morbid Angel on the Steel tour in '01..."
@@kylemcgill2966 pass it on brother... Getcha pull
@@bradbiggs4283 Getcha pull 🤟
Love Rex Brown man's a true LEGEND
Hearing him talk about the recording process just reiterates my desire for a full documentary of them writing and recording. I know that's impossible now but it would have been amazing to see.
I'm a big pantera fan then and still am! I finally got to see them in person on their great southern trend kill tour in springfield missouri since I live in branson mo. I found one of Rex's bass picks on the concert floor . I still have that pick. I'm even a fan of the 80s pantera as well 🤘 Rex aka T Rex
Man this is a great interview! There's a lot of folks out there that should take notes on this one. Anybody who thumbs downed this interview, your parents failed as human beings.
I'm Glad We Had PANTERA , For A Short Time ,Then To Not Have Them At All.
Great point Aaron.
Rex is the man! Such a thoughtful, down-to-Earth, and insightful cat. Vinnie and Rex were the anchor of Pantera. Tight af. I'm glad I got to see them a couple of times.
I've seen Pantera live so many times, from small venue Cardis to Compaq Center in Houston. BEST METAL SHOW EVER, my favorite show was Black Sabbath w/ Pantera and Deftones.
1st of 5 times seeing Pantera was August of 1996 (17 years old) at the Minneapolis Target Center opening bands Eye Hate God, Deftones, and White Zombie. Great interview man! I enjoyed it.
Yeah man that would of been killer
What a line up!
20 years already? I can still feel the stage flames from the extreme steel tour. RIP Abbots...much love Rex
I still listen to Reinventing the Steel all the time. Love it. It’s really interesting to hear the inner workings of how it was put together.
You don’t interview Rex. He lets you ask him questions. Pantera is and will always be the greatest metal band ever
This is true. I've seen him be a really tough interview for others.
Pantera are the Gods of true metal!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
I'm so excited right now !! Carnt wait 🤘from the UK And that album to this day fcking kicks ass
God I love Pantera. Seeing them live a bunch of times was an experience of a lifetime. I love Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven the most. Still love all the albums, even the pre Cowboys albums.
Power Metal is sick. I wish they would have played some of those songs live. We’ll Meet Again would be so cool live, I like it more than Cemetery Gates.
I grew up with panteras music love the freaking band👍😎
Hell yeah. On this.
😎
Rex: What did you think of the new mixes?
Pit: ehh...I'm found of the old ones
Rex: So you have chosen death
Original is way better, no doubt about it
the original might be a bit muddy on the low end but overall it just sits way better than the new mix. The remix is just too "clean", and that kind of makes the guitar sound harsh at times. Also drums sound weaker, i suppose too much compression. The original just needed a bit better low end cleanup, thats all. It sounds punchy asf otherwise and i love it. Not so much the remix.
Original mix is garbage
Rex is a criminally underrated bassist
Rex is a great guy. Amazing bassist and Metal dude.
This interview with the one and only Rex Brown is amazing. I told my brother when we were in a band you gotta get you're bass sounding like Rex' s or I'm walking 🤣🤣🤣🤣 GETCHA PULL 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
We love you Rex! Thank you for everything you've done in Pantera, Down, Kill Devil Hill and your own music too 🤘🤘🤘🤘 #legend #powergroove
What a fantastic interview. Loved hearing the way Rex spoke. Fantastic questions too by the interviewer.
at the end rex says we'll see yall soon..making sense now, im fuckin pumped
I saw that tour april 19 2000 great show and i still remember rex and winnie standing out from the show a solid rythm section and when they played walk the place went insane ..:D
23:15 we can only hope Home Video 4 comes out soon🤞🏼
PanterA RULE
🤘🏼⚜️🥃
Great interview. When RITS first came out I didn’t like it too much but in recent years I started to absolutely love it. Can’t wait to hear this remastered version.
RTS is their best album. the whole band loved it and it is Philips favorite despite the silly rumors of him hating it.
@@integrity101 That's awesome!
@@RitchieRosson
I hated it at first also but it grows on u over time. Very catchy.
One of my favorite bass players, and my favorite Pantera album.
Reinventing the Steel was the first Pantera I owned right when it came out and I think the terry date mixes are badass
Thank You for the amazing music guys, PANTERA forever
His bass mix was always buried/scooped on the early records. His best mix was on the Rebel meets Rebel album- he positively shines on it. Perfect bass playing and righteous tone. He’s a beast on the bass; you can hear the jazz influence in the way he lays it down. Underrated
Wasn't that hank 3? Or did rex do the tracks and 3 screaming on a couple?
Rex is a straight up dude. Stoked hes doing well.
Solid interview mate.
REX my man YES and you guys accomplished turning us ON to high voltage raw energy THANK YOU for those shows. Greatest experiences in my life. Nothing like the powerhouse of Pantera!
I agree with Terry Dade not messing with the original sound. Rex is a Legend. I’m still turning people on the Pantera all the time. They’re still my favorite band.
God bless you, Rex !!
Love and respect from 🇧🇷!
ozzfest 02 I wore a shirt that said f*uck you I have enough friends and at downs signing table Rex said I love that shirt man I told him I would give it to him if he gave me his shirt he stood up took his shirt off we traded shirts and he wore it on stage that day that will forever be my favorite Rex moment he wore my damn shirt and I still have his plain black shirt in storage love Rex and long love pantera!
Rex is such a nice guy! Greets from Anette / Norway
Happy Anniversary 🎉 Keep Jammin on that bass! You are my favorite bassist!! Allways 💜🤘👊
Inspirational always when Rex has anything to say. Love his Bass playing and anything Rex has to say. 🇨🇦 Bass player.
That was a super cool interview. 🤘🏼🥃
My favorite Pantera album!
The best bassist on planet earth what a legend respect 💪👊👊👊👊
It actually disturbs me knowing, the greatest band ever will never be, again. My hero’s are dead, and it’s still unbelievable to me.
Agreed. Only consolation is no one here gets out alive
But at least we still have all the records and history to forever appreciate
Pantera has been my favourite band since I was 18 but to say they're the greatest metal band ever is a far stretch. I'll hands down give that to Metallica, the things they have accomplished and done in un measurable by any other band. Even with their sound changing they are still by far the most successful and biggest metal band ever.
It is unbelievable to me that pantera is over too, I find it surreal and there will never be another pantera. But there will also never be another metallica. Music is changing, it's not how it use to be and that in itself is probably the most heart breaking thing.
Yeah man, I tell you h'what man, dang ol' great to see Rex and Phil in their current sobriety, man.
Terry Date really corrected the sound on this record. That is how it was supposed to sound.
@Ryan B yea i also think that. original had some mud issues (especially on low end) but it was killer otherwise, i always loved their sound on that one. The new mix drums just sound weaker (and vocals), and guitar is harsh at times. Its not bad but i prefer the original.
DBD was my EVH. As far as technique, innovation and attack, Pantera was an evolutionary lunge forward in metal. The power in those riffs and the artistry woven within their solos , will always stand out as one of rock historiy's most lethal ..Even if he got it all from Eddie. LOL
Somebody obvious never listened to Exhorder. Pantera is nothing but a rippoff.
