The current Pantera lineup is a cover band. Anselmo was canceled because he’s a KKK member.

I'm super happy for Ola. Hard work pays off. To be told by Phil his name was on, "The List" is a lifetime achievement.

What an amazing honor to be told by Phil that you were in consideration to be a part of helping fans celebrate the legacy of your favorite band! You have already been doing just that in your own way for many years now. That had to knock you on your ass to be told that! I've seen Pantera 9 times from 1994-2001 and now 22 years later I get the opportunity to take my son and experience these amazing songs to the same venue I saw them for the first and last time! 26 more days and counting!

Being on the list is the biggest honor and you deserve it man

To keep it short and sweet: I went to their Amsterdam show, they ruled, the crowd roared, I cried of joy and was 16 again.

OMFG!!!🤘🏼 Thank you for sharing that experience!! Zak & Charlie are definitely the right choice to Celebrate 2 of the most incredible human beings I’ve ever personally met back in the day. I have Pantera stories of my own (by the way I’m from Texas!) I’ve met ZaK as well & on that same night Dime was there and I got to chat with both. PANTERA for LIFE!! 🙌🏼. Don’t be surprised by what Phil said, you belonged on that list!

Without a doubt you would be on that list! You've done a lot to keep the Pantera spirit alive! Great covers and so much passion for the music.

Phil's voice is the star of this tour, damn

Thank you very much for the footage and thank you for the pic we took before the show! I've found myself several times in the crowd on this video and this is a wonderful memory of the day and gig. I've never thought i'd have the opportunity to see those songs played live. A dream came true! Thank you Ola!

Your compassion for music is epic. Thank you for keeping metal alive.

So incredibly awesome. Phil sounds his best ever. I’ve seen pantera live 13 times back in the 90’s at their best and Phil never sounded this good It’s amazing what sobriety does to a person

Saw them in Prague last month, brought my 17 year old son with me, both minds blown. Incredible night. Fair play to you for making the list man, that's a story for the grand kids!

DUDE. Love your comments about the fans being so ready for these longs to be played live again, and that's not that big of a surprise that you were on the list. You crush those tunes and your passion for the music is without question. Cheers brother! Can't wait to see them in Philly.

So Awesome that you made the list to be considered to be in Pantera!!! What an Honor just to be considered!!! Congrats!

The show looks awesome, I can't wait to see the band in a few months. Thanks for sharing the content Ola!

It was, even if the sound did not massage your organs and it was about 45 degrees C inside the venue.

im glad phil told you that. you deserve it. you do a lot for guitar players. more than you could ever know. thanks for everything.

Beautiful. Philip gave me a nickname in 2016 when I was working w/ Warbeast and mixing their demos that became their last effort.. I cannnnno remember, but it was legendary. He once looked at me super honestly and said "Man, you have great ears". I'll take it.

I flew from Ireland for this gig.......first off what a killer venue.....i done the meet and greet and i knew beforehand it would be an unbelievable atmosphere cos of the small venue that it was......secondly massive respect to Zakk and Charlie......they killed it and without them this wouldn't happen....when it was over it was amazing when everyone from the front was walking out....everyone drenched and stinking of sweat...but no-one cared, probably been a long time before some or most had a night like that and probably many didnt think they would see ever again

That is incredible to be told you were on the list by Phil that must have been like one of the highest compliments of your life for sure,you must have been amazed😀it show's your hard work definetly pays off😀

I'm happy they're doing Dime such great justice I'm sure he'd be proud of what Zakk is doing. This looked like a genuinely great show. Its also cool Grady Champion is the guitar tech. Im happy that Phil Anselmo is in good sprits. And SO COOL you were on that list to be considered and that says a lot!

I saw Pantera with Dime twice on the Vulgar tour. I was at the show that they used footage from for the Walk video.. I saw Down once. I wish I could've seen Damageplan.

Så JÄVLA kul att du va med på deras lista Ola!! Såg oxå dom på Sweden Rock, tyckte det va otroligt jäkla bra! Synd att jag missade att se dig på festivalen! Brorsan som älskar dina gitarrer skrev att du va på plats! All kärlek!

Phil's awesome! Can't wait to see this in September.

Got chills when you said they mentioned you being on "the list" :)

I commented a while ago when they were about to reunite that they should ask you, you nail all the tones and covers! 🤘🏼

Bro, that is amazing for you to hear you were on the list. While they are in your neck of the woods it would be awesome if they invited you up to play at least one song with them. I hope this happens for you, you deserve it.

@@Fartinhalerr no no no I don't believe that at all!!!!!! The best thing would be to have rotating hired guitarists honestly. But I appreciate the smart assness. But again I think the majority of Pantera fans would agree if both played 2 concerts same set list and compared both concerts. I agree zakk is an amazing iconic guitarist / hired guitarist. But his solos are stale these days and all mash together. He is amazing with his stuff. I believe dime would have picked ola. Honestly brothers or not. Ola has history with dean history with Washburn has the chops has mutual friends mutual custom shop contacts and friends he knows note for note the solos. And had the hair and beard to go with it. The only reason zakk got the job is because the it was a seen public opinion if we had the choice by vote and it was zakk ola Michelangelo fucking bet. Ola would have won the vote! As a matter of fact. @olaenglund #olaenglund man there has to be way to figure this out.not for you but for us the fans of all 3 Pantera zakk and ola. I can't think of anyone else. Way everything out and tell me other than best friends who has more I'm the offering bucket. Ola or zakk with credible evidence not word of mouth or wishing in one hand and shitting in the other shit always wins

I know Phil would love to be running around that stage. Bums me out he can’t but the fact that he’s still alive and going is f’n great

So cool to hear you were actually on the list. What a great honor! Back then I actually did think they should consider you for the job, but I can see how hard it would be to be chosen over someone like Zakk, with all his massive experience and metal cred. But now at least you know they were considering you as a possible candidate for the job, and that in itself is HUGE! Det är verkligen något att berätta för barnbarnen 🙂

Zakk was one of Dimes best friends and has known the Pantera crew since their beginnings. Only makes sense he would be the guy. Huge Honor for Ola but Zakk was the obvious choice.

Damn dude not even on the best dreams you would have thought that you were on that list!! Incredible!

I would suggest to ANYBODY who loves Pantera and never saw them with Dime and Vince, go see them. Zakk and Dime were best friends and so was Charlie and Vince. I was lucky enough to see them on the Far Beyond Driven and Reinventing The Steel tours. I'm so happy that these young people can see at least some form of Pantera. We still have Rex and Phil so...go see em if you can! 🤘

Respect Ola you love so much Pantera.. Im big fun of Pantera,maybe one day I will watch them

I'm seeing them in Pittsburgh PA. July 28th. Can't wait. I was lucky enough to see them in 1999, 2000 and 2001. But they couldn't of picked 2 better guys to fill in for Dime and Vinny. May they RIP

Glad you had a good time at the show in my Hometown! The Band was tight that evening and the audience was grateful. How mind blown you must be to be on the list!😃Congratz man! Next time you're in town, hit me up dude!

Man, i love you brother!!! Great video!!! I can totally see you as one on the list when they were planning all this! Bro, from Lakeland, Florida... USA, in the spirit of united humanity... Long live Pantera!!! Keep making your amazing videos! Much Love and take care!

Saw them June 2nd in Stuttgart at the same venue where I saw them on March 4th 1991 at the Cowboys from Hell tour supporting Judas Priest. Absolutely incredible show ❤❤❤

That’s awesome congrats on Phil telling you that ! That would be a huge thing to hear as a fan well done Ola you deserve that

Pan fuckin Tera! Thanks for this. Love those guys. Never could saw them live. Really appreciate what they´re doing.

Seeing them Open for Tallica in November at Ford Field. Seen them a handful of times from 91 to 2001. Wasn’t wanting to see it in the beginning of the tribute but I soften up and figured might as well see Tallica 2 last times and see the tribute since it seemed to be going fairly well.

GETCHA PULL!! My first concert was Pantera in '94. It was so overwhelming and I was moshing so hard I barely remember any of it. Apart from the pain I was in for the next three days.

That’s awesome that they considered you for their guitarist. It would have been a huge honor, but Zakk was definitely the most logical choice imo. You would have killed it though 🤘😎🤘.

He also shared an unreleased Portal record with me, start to finish. I died. It was phenomenal and Philip was a child the whole time

Respect for keeping their inner sanctum exactly that, a sanctum

I love this video I actually had the opportunity of seeing them and meeting them in Bakersfield at the the reinventing the steel tour they are so awesome live

Thank you Brother Love the footage !!!!!!! im going to see them in Detroit Positive Vibe so glad this is happening the Pantera muisic is being played again !!! im 57 a Metal Head 4 life !!! You are a great guitar Player Brother so cool you were on the list !!!! for me muisic is the best Drug around im in 2 bands my self one cover and one original i cant get enough LOL Rock on Brother😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Stage hand here. Cant wait to get them set up

Goddamn Ola! Thank you! I know when I see them in NYC this summer with Metallica I’m going to be in tears the whole time!! 😭 you’re the best brother! 🤙🍦

Who needs a bucket list when he´s on The List. Congrats, man. Great honour, well deserved.

I saw Pantera in the early 90s London Brixton Academy it was Awesome the best gig ever , it was a riot .

i seen pantera one time in the early 90s i was 14 or so in upper darby pa at the tower theater, at end of the show one of our boys ended up smoking a joint with phil and we got invited join it was epic

Ola watch the vids of the show in Noblesville, Indiana on 7-29-23. PHENOMENAL SHOW

Great vid Ola thank you!!!! This is part of history man!

Ola, if anyone deserves to be on that list, it’s you brother. I know how much you will cherish this experience the rest of your heavy metal life. Thanks so much for sharing it.

I knew you gonna met them. I am happy for you. You would have been on place 1 on the pantera tribute guitarist list. Peace 2 would have been Trent Hafdahl from After The Burial. Then Zack... It was nice meeting you in Hamburg. At the way home my wife and me Talked about that you must have been visiting Hamburg for the concert to meet them. GGWP

Amazing Ola! Over a decade watching you and the recognition you have earned is incredible and I am so proud of what you have achieved and look forward to what more you will conquer! Ola the conquererer! 🔥🔥🔥💪💪🤘🤘

1000% well deserved to have your name on that list, your passion for Pantera and metal clearly shows in the community, cheers Ola!!!

Who wouldve thought they would be holding an actual tonites show ticket for PANTERA! Fucking amazing!

I´ve been to the show in Hamburg after over 20 years of listening to Pantera, one of the greatest shows of my life (maybe RATM were in the same ballpark when it comes to waiting for a band).

You should try to do a song or even a solo with them! That'd be a memory to cherish for the rest of your life!

Awesome video...really cool you "made the list" too. Glad you enjoyed the show and got to talk woth some of the guys🤘

Saw them in Rockfest in Finland earlier this year. After a healthy wait of some 25 years. So yeah, it was much anticipated and yes, they did deliver. Gonna be very hard to not get tickets if Pantera decides to visit Finland ever again.

I can't wait. I'll be seeing them in September

Wow awesome video ola I love to see them live but I’m sure they will probably not come no where near Memphis,tn

Fan vad coolt, dream come true kompis!

On the list... Dude, they should have got you up on stage for a track... but you'd show them up because you can play Dime's stuff properly ;)

Thank you for the footage! It would’ve been rad if they’d pull you in for a tune.

Amazing Ola, rock on!🤘

You, Wes Hauch, and Zakk were my first 3 picks for Pantera reunion. But for you to hear it from Phil himself gotta be an amazing feeling. Ill be catching Pantera and Lamb of God w/ Child Bite in Hershey, Pennsylvania when they come back to the states. Cheers, Ola.

I'm wondering if they are going to try and write a new album soon? With their talent they could create an awesome! New Metal album and it would probably be really huge.🤘🍺

My friend that I play in a band with is going to see Pantera and Mammoth WVH open for Metallica in Montreal this summer and I still say that he's super lucky, Pantera definitely puts on a fucking hell of a live show from all I've seen and I still love that the guys are doing this in honour of the brothers

Big hugs and respect for Grady 🤘

Wow! ON THE LIST!!

Zakk is definitely the right guy, maybe Kerry King could have done it but if only because he was super tight with Dime. Ola being in the discussion is legendary, another feather in our boy's cap!

Back when this whole Pantera Tribute/celebration/thing was announced, the first person that jumped into mind for the guitar was you.
