Charlie is literally the backbone of this entire Pantera tribute operation. Charlie been killing it since the first South American show. What a beast.

I fully respect Charlie’s hard work he put to honor Vince

It's Vinnie!!!!

When people talk about who was best for this tribute, Charlie is 100% hands down the best pick! He respects Vinnie's work all the way down to his thunderous drum sound. Hell yeah Charlie, so incredible! \m/

That's true. Vinnie typically played with tipless drumsticks. Charlie is playing with his sticks flipped around to emulate the sound. I can't wait to see them in a couple of weeks!

@@AstroEscape Yo homie. I love Pantera and Charlie too BUT all those drum sounds are 100% sample replaced. The kick is a sample. That why it's perfect sounding. No hate at all (except I didn't get this gig lol) that's the way it's done. You can see what looks like a black ddrum trigger on the tom tom right in front with a right angle 1/4" cable. Yo Charlie- Much love bro. Hear the drummer get WICKED!

He only uses the sample sound for the mixing desk operator and his own in ear monitors, the house speakers are mic'ed up to his bass , the venue gets full acoustic sound of his drums , I know this for a fact , I'm not hating I'm just clearing this up .

Dude. It’s Pantera. The live shows are a tribute to the Abbott brothers. Charlie is as good or better than Vin. Sorry. Charlie’s own style is far more technical than Vins.

I saw Anthrax last year and he was about 20 feet in front of me. I kept noticing that he kind of swings his upper body around almost like he's playing jazz. Very relaxed, just feeling the groove. I spent a good portion of the night watching him. He's a machine. So good.

They are in every presentation of Pantera...

Charlie, you doing Vinnie proud. Please get Pantera down to Australia, I need to see you guys.

I still think you are the only possible person who could have played drums for this tour. Your playing is absolutely perfect and so close to Vinnie’s. And of course the personal connection you had with the Abbott brothers is a vital part of why it had to be you! I hope I get to see this lineup at least once before it’s over.

Killin it brother

I love the sound the snare!!! It sounds so good with your kick drum!!! Plus rex's bass sounds good too!!! Happy Birthday Philip and could you Imagine Philip saying "This one's called Domination" and they played the whole song! Can't wait for the Lamb of God / Pantera shows this summer!!!

I wish they would do full Dom! But idk if Phil can do it anymore, but man that anticipation for the breakdown is everything to that song!

Man, seeing the passion and hearing the same in Phil's voice in certain sections......this is awesome for us fans.

Still one of the best drummers and seems to only get better!

Best of the Big Four drummers in my ever so humble opinion. Highly underrated.

Charlie is doing such a good job at this reunion. I'm not even an Anthrax fan.

🤘🪽 What a ride, all those concerts I’ve seen you from the 80s and 90s and now playing Pantera concerts how lucky are we! VINNIE & DIME RIP 🤘

Charlie, been following you since Among The Living and you are the ultimate in groove and style. Thank you!!! \M/\M/

Rex sound is killer !!! Charli put a lot of work in this !! Love it !

Damn, love everything about this, specially the sound on Rex's bass on this video

This is an amazing performance by all 4 of them! And the sound quality is even especially good. I love how clear you also hear Rex's bass the entire time. 🤘

Thank you Charlie! I been in the front pit at Graspop paying tribute to the brothers :-)

Jeez dudes, stop acting like Vinnie was Charlie's mentor or something. Charlie's a legend in his own right.

I think with the monitor being so well audible in this clip it might be the best quality audio from a new show we heard this far. Totally speaks for everyone in the band. I have never heard them sound this good. And I was at a concert!!

Dom/Hollow sounds amazing, Zakk not quite in the pocket on Cowboys but I think there was always going to be a question how well he was going to pull off the rhythm parts….this kinda harder-edged/faster metal is just not his forte.

The goat of thrash metal drumming.

Got the sticks turned around aswell. Love it

Longtime fan from Dallas area. That was bad ass!

Charlie nailed the position of honouring Vinnie Paul!! !!! One of my favourite drummers and influences to my drumming since among the living!

Yeah ! That's sounds incredibly good ! Horns up Charlie , you're doing an exceptional job 👏👏👏 333 🤘👽🤘

Rex with the crushing bass tone on that intro 🤘

Cheers from Santos, São Paulo, Brazil!!!!

Charlie you were born to rock those F'ing drums my friend. You are one of the best.

No doubt the best choice for the job!!! Been a fan since Fistful of Metal. Man, how old am I? LOL! Cheers.

Hola Charlie! You are the reason I started playing drums! That's thirty-three years ago! Now my daughter is walking the same path. And she's already better than me when I was at her age!! Keep on man!! You're still an inspiration!🤘🤘🤘

spot on. Need more of these Charles.

I’ve been in the Knot Fest in Brazil in late 2022, and it was one hell of a concert, all four members are doing such a great job paying tribute to the Abbott’s brothers, specially Charlie, for playing note for note of Vinnie’s parts. Amazing Charlie Benante, cheers

best thrash drummer of all time.... not just a good choice... the ONLY choice to take part in this tribute tour... Pantera's music needed to be heard on stages around the World again... Charlie and Zakk were the only 2 who could do it (Honorable mention to Ola who could have stepped up if Zakk wasn't able.)

Charlie is so underrated up there with joey jordison dave Lambardo unbelievable! 🤘 🇬🇧

I know Pantera is probably using the same sound crew they always have but the drum mix sounds awesome here. Snare and bass drums are right on point and sound just like Vince is there.

Doing Vinnie right!🔥

Love this. So much respect for what he’s done for pantera. This dude and the dude from gojira might be the only who could sit in the pocket where Charlie does. The push and pull of his drumming feels so good

I just saw the episode of Married With Children that Anthrax guest starred in and I just gotta say that was hilarious. When you called Marci a sir 😂 Keep on rockin' bro 🤘

Charlies a beast, been listening ro him for 35 years

Great work in anthrax and especially pantera honoring Vinnie, a true legend and drummer❤

Just crushing it Charlie 🤘🤘

Since the first show from the new formation of Pantera, i knew you where the right choice! amazing vid Charlie! Thanks for helping to bring Pantera alive again!!!!

Pure emotions from Charlie. Absolute a worthy substitute...I hope he is a permanent member of Pantera

I love you guys so much. Thank you. 1,000 times thank you.

Pantera has been my favorite band ever since 1991, I was lucky enough to see them 5 times during the 90's, and Charlie you are killing it brother! 🤘
