I'm glad you brought this point up. Dime and Vinnie were a HUGE part of the band, but they weren't the ONLY part of the band. They all contributed to the music, this is especially true for Rex. I read his book (which every true Pantera fan should read) and Rex was there from the very beginning, before Pantera was even a thing yet. He even lived with the Abbotts for a while growing up and very much was considered a part of the family. Sure, they did go through a few different singers before Phil, but Rex was there through all of it (even those awkward "glam" years that they tried to completely bury). Yes, the core of the songs did come from what Dime and Vinnie would come up with while they were jamming, and Pantera never would have happened without them, but then Phil and Rex would fill in the rest. I think Phil wrote most of the lyrics and came up with most of the vocal melodies too. And regardless of that, it was definitely that pure attitude and aggression that Phil had that helped Pantera become THE Pantera we all know and love. If it wasn't for him, they might still be an obscure, 80s style rock band in Texas. Or Dime would be playing guitar for Megadeth (or would have until Dave Mustain kicked him out like he did with all the other Megadeth guitarists LOL). Rex and Phil have both went on to do other things, but the Pantera stuff they created will never leave them. As someone who has been in a few different bands myself there are definitely songs from my former bands I still love to play live , and some that I can't really do because those former member aren't around or able anymore. One band in particular I was "just the singer" (I usually either play guitar AND sing, or just play guitar). Even though all I really did was write the words, name nost of the songs, and sing them, if a couple guys who weren't in the band knew those songs I'd love to sing them for people again. It wouldn't be the same without all the original guys, but it would at least "something".

No Vinnoes problem was that he felt it would tarnish there legacy, hence why even he didn't want to carry on the panteraa name into damageplan

Having seen this show live it's apparent that each night is done with love and honor for Dime and Vinny. It's also clear what a better place Phil is in mentally. The respect and love he has for Pantera and their fans is obvious. I have no doubts that if Dime and Vinnie were still with us we would be seeing them on that stage alongside Phil and Rex. Sadly we will never have that. I can say I had the time of my life taking my son to see them this past July at the same venue and almost the same seats I had seen Pantera for the first time 29 years earlier.

I really don’t see a problem with creating new music with this lineup. It doesn’t take away from the Abbott Bros’ legacy and contributions, but let’s not forget two of the band members are still alive. How many bands in history have continued to make new music with lineup changes when members (even lead singers) have passed away, quit or got fired, etc.? It’s happened with tons of bands in a variety of genres. I actually would to see new Pantera music brought to life with this line. It would be horrible to let a band and the potential to create new songs die when two of the members (including the lead vocalist) are still alive and kicking. This entire “it’s a tribute thing” makes sense right now being that it’s their first run, but I think this lineup has proven that it has the chops and ability to BE the band and not just a representation of it. I’m fine with them being Pantera and fully support new music. I love the Abbott Bros and what they did, but there’s no reason they can’t respectfully be honored and remembered while letting Pantera and its surviving two members live on with a new lineup like countless other bands have in music history.

Phil and rex did not create Pantera. Dime and Vinnie created Pantera long before Phil and rex came along. I don't understand what you people don't understand about this. Sammy hagar and Michael Anthony are going out with Joe satriani Jason Bonham to pay tribute to van Halen. Now eddie and Alex aren't going to be there cause eddie is dead and Alex isn't going to do van Halen songs without eddie. So should sammy and Michael Anthony just go ahead and call there self van Halen since they were in the band? I don't think so, and that shit would never fly with a true van Halen fan. And sammy and Michael Anthony would never do some stupid shit like that. If those 4 guys want to make a album together they better find a different name cause it sure isn't Pantera.

Back in the day I would go to see PANTERA every time they played in Dallas Texas and that was a lot. I was not able to go to see the tribute show. But my son that was raised on PANTERA's music but never got to see them went and took his 7 year old son to see them when they played the Arlington Texas show. DIMEBAG and Vinny were the heart and soul of Pantera. But I think it is a good thing that the younger generation gets experience PANTERA music live.

This actually is a legit tribute and I believe Phil has remorse about how things went down as opposed to what Hagar is trying to do…

I may never be able to see the true line up ever, but I appreciate the fact that 'the boys' are being celebrated.

Saw them at Sofi and they sounded amazing. Pantera was the first concert I went to when I was in high school back in 1999 or 2000 and it changed me forever. I’m so happy I got to see them again.

Vinnie already stated he was against Pantera ever playing again because of Phil and his actions and the loss of his brother Darrell.Darrell also stated he would be against playing with Phil again before he passed.

I took my teenage son to see them this year. Even if Vin and Dime aren't there, they're still reaching a new generation of fans

If they come back, I would love to see them again. There was never a bigger inspiration in my life than Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

Seen them in ATL recently and they was so bad ass. I’m going again in February to see them in Tampa with my 15 year old son.

I saw the show last summer in Camden NJ and it was a blast

I saw them at ford field amazing show and I do really appreciate how they’ve handled everything and the tribute to the abbot brothers was amazing

I did at Rocklahoma, it was incredible! I’ve seen the original Pantera 10 times in my life, no lie! I think this is what it truly is a celebration/ tribute… made cry to see them in video 💔

The first Pantera show I saw back in 2001, Reinventing The Steel, was awesome. I'll never forget it. I saw the "celebration" show this year in August. Both in Albuquerque, I thought it was kool they kept what Pantera has carved into metal history alive by playing songs that meant something to so many. It was an honor to see and hear music that'll live on. But it also hurt, that the Abbott Brothers....were not there.

I really hope they do at least 1 more round of these shows. I got to see the original band in 1994, to this day it was the best show I've ever seen. I haven't got to see them on the celebration tour, & still hope I'll have a chance to do so. Even if they would do a run of these shoes every few years, you are bringing Pantera to fans new & old. And it is a celebration, not a reunion. I once heard Vinnie say in an interview that he had hundreds of hours of unreleased material. I'D love to see a tour where they play some stuff the brothers helped write, but never put out. COWBOYS FROM HELL FOREVER!!!!

It's great man it's love for the fans lobe for the band and love for dime and Vin man

I had the pleasure of seeing them on the M72 tour earlier this month and it was fantastic 🤘🏼 Not to throw shade on the original lineup at all, but Phil was in such rough shape the last time I saw them at OzzFest ‘99, that the recent experience was far more enjoyable 🤷🏻‍♂️

Saw original Pantera back in the day,took my 14 year old son to see them recently and the band,crowd and all around atmosphere were amazing.phil sounded great and was great to see him healthy and zakk was amazing as usual.dont care about the controversy my son and his generation get to discover panterà music live.

I went to see them at Darien Lake NY on 8/9/23. I've been a fan since 1992 and am still legitimately bummed about the loss of both Dime and Vince. I totally get what they are saying about the difference between a reunion and a tribute. I have to say, the vibe at the show I was at was ALL tribute. Dime and Vince pictured on Charlie's bass drums, the video montage that played while Planet Caravan was performed on stage. It was incredibly moving. I saw or felt no sense of the continuance or moving on for Pantera as a band. Vince was right, there can never be a Pantera reunion. But what Phil, Rex, Charlie, and Zak are doing now is pure and heartfelt. The same feeling we fans have about the band and the Abbot brothers who are still sorely missed. I love what they are doing and will see them again if they keep touring and come through my area again next year.

The tours bring the music and the Brothers to a new generation of young metal heads so I'm for it.

Yea man. Vinnie may have gone to his grave having a bunch of resentment toward Phil. Regardless of wether or not he would have approved of this tho…it would be hard to believe that he didn’t get some kind of satisfaction from it if he knew that that was the result of it all. As someone who was just a liiiiiittle too young to have seen the original line up…. I know I appreciate it. 🤘🏼

The fact that they got Zak him and dime were like close as hell man so it's great to see him do this and honor dime and Vin

Starting a 4:54 is exactly what my comment was going to be, it was never PHILS band, he was a hired gun. He has no right to even pay tribute because he broke up the band. No one else but him, go back to the story, and everyone in the Pantera CAMP that was left said, he wouldn't answer the phone, he just ignored everyone, did another Down and Superjoint record, but made no time for them. And Phil also stated "Man I'D Kill those guys, and they need a severe beating". Drugs or not drugs (drugs of course) he said it, and what happened was because of him. He didn't pull the trigger, but he could have prevented it from being pulled, IF he would have done his job. We all know this. I lost all respect for Phil 20 years ago, and I intend for it to stay that way. He's doing it for money, nothing more nothing less. Thank You.

Pantera is legend.. I love every album that included Phil.. Every album had its sound and vibe to it and loved Power metal as well.. Always wonder what a post 2000 album would of sounded like if Dime didn’t go but they never ended up having an album that was bad which is a testament.. and to tribute hell yeah recording new material nah it would be a cop out..

I saw them this summer. I enjoyed the show a lot. Never saw the original Pantera, so I cannot compare.

Vinnie said absolutely no Pantera without Dime till the day he died. I'm all for a tribute to Pantera but the current lineup is not Pantera. R.I.P to the brothers

I have saw Pantera 12 times with the original line up. Then saw them in Arlington, TX with Metallica. It was SO weird, and emotional, because I knew both Vince and Dime very well. However, it was also a very beautiful, and nostalgic feeling as well. I think it’s important to bring these shows to all the fans of metal that never got to see the original Pantera play live.

I went to the pantera celebration show in austin this past year and it was actually on august 20th, Dimes bday. They stopped the show, brought out shots on the stage and the whole place sang happy bday to dime. That was a heavy moment and im so glad i was there. They def kept the brothers alive in the show, so to speak. Im going to a meet and greet with them in Feb at the kansas city show. I cant f’n wait. Pantera for life suckas.

Saw Pantera and Metallica in st louis , very awesome.

When I walked away from the show I realized it was a 1000 times better than I expected and I was very proud that came

Will be 4 times in February for me and it's fuckin amazing ! One of the best LIVE Bands in the world rite NOW!! PERIOD🔥🔥

Fukken Ace! Vinnie and Dime spirit lives on. Great music deserves to be played. 🥁🦁🦁🎸

Vinnie already said in detail what he thinks of it if you do some research, I see where he’s coming from but theirs alot of us younger folk who never got to see them live and want to experience it and pay tribute to dime and Vinnies legacy!

@@crankfastle8138okay…. We still want to see the tribute, idk why your panties get in such a bunch over this

How could Vinnie have ever thought any different after what he saw happen to his own brother? I reckon its awesome and i cant wait to see them in Melbourne next year. Its been long enough that I believe both brothers would appreciate it now. Its another way of fulfilling their dream of Pantera living on as one of the powerhouses of metal.

Seen 3 shows recently, and going to a fourth in February, that basically says it all.

There is no Pantera without Dimebag and Vinnie.

Seen them at ford field with Metallica and the smashed it! Got tickets for the February 20th show at van andle in 2024! Let's go!

They both have passed and I’m pretty sure they are looking down happy that their legacy is living on.

It's just about enjoying the legacy. Surely it's not Pantera, but it's gotta feel good to get back on stage and play the awesome music they created with the help of some really respected metalists.

I can’t wait to see Pantera kick ass at Madison Square Garden in February. I’m excited.

I bet after about 5 minutes Vin would love it!!!!

If Dime didnt go out the way he did, in the position he stood with Phil at the time. I believe Vinny would have been for it. Dime seemed to be a very humble and caring dude. If he was alive i think that relationship could have been patched up.

Dime was great-a regular, normal person-and he wasn't hung up on himself. None of them were. He supported local music in the D/FW area, and he has bought me enough beer to float an aircraft carrier at our gigs. Once, He, Rex, and Vinnie were the only ones in the bar, lol. By them playing these gigs, the Abbot brothers live on, and thanks to Zakk and Charlie for doing this. If they want to carry on, and put out new music, I fully support that.

I absolutely loved seeing them but kinda thought there could have been a better set list. I don’t know I was shocked by a lot of songs on the set;it’s and that weren’t. Wish they would have sang cemetery gates instead of it just playing with video. Video was great! It actually made me cry thinking about all the old memories I have and their music being a such a huge part of my life. Our chow chow is even named Pantera! Can’t think of any other 2 guys to help for a fact than Zakk and Charlie bring this tribute to the fans. It’s was so amazing! Really brought me to tears a few times. Loved it!

I have seen the “legacy” show twice now and I have seen the original lineup 3 times. Honestly, it wasn’t a bad experience. Being able to see these songs live again was a lot of fun. BUT, it wasn’t the same experience (nor do I think that was the intention of these shows). For those that have seen the original lineup, there was just something about Dime hitting the high “squeal” and Vinnie just hammering the drums all night that when you left the show, you felt satisfied. I am not sure if that makes any sense, I would hope that it does to those of us that have seen both. lol. Being able to see the band with the Vinnie and Dime is something that will always be special in my heart. But I would still go see another legacy show if given the chance.

Total Respect!!! 🤘 🤘 🤘

Can someone PLEASE tell Zakk to tune his guitar to the correct pitch? It drives me nuts that all the songs sound "off"

@ThePhantasm95

He's downtuned because Phil can't do the same vocals and pitch that he used to

Saw The celebration of Pantera in Arlington, TX & Pryor, OK both show were amazing I thought I’d never hear some of those songs live by anybody

Agree!!!!! Dime and Vinnie would of loved it. I know Vinnie said he wouldn't after Dime died. But before he died he didn't want to because it was too painful. I bet if he was alive today if he wasn't ready eventually he would have

I feel what there doing is a celebration. It's keeping the name alive, and paying homage to Dime and Vinnie.

If Vinnie and Dime were still alive there wouldn't be a Pantera reunion. Plain and simple.

If they made new music I would love it!

I agree! I really don’t see a problem with creating new music with this lineup. It doesn’t take away from the Abbott Bros’ legacy and contributions, but let’s not forget two of the band members are still alive. How many bands in history have continued to make new music with lineup changes when members (even lead singers) have passed away, quit or got fired, etc.? It’s happened with tons of bands in a variety of genres. I actually would to see new Pantera music brought to life with this line. It would be horrible to let a band and the potential to create new songs die when two of the members (including the lead vocalist) are still alive and kicking. This entire “it’s a tribute thing” makes sense right now being that it’s their first run, but I think this lineup has proven that it has the chops and ability to BE the band and not just a representation of it. I’m fine with them being Pantera and fully support new music. I love the Abbott Bros and what they did, but there’s no reason they can’t respectfully be honored and remembered while letting Pantera and its surviving two members live on with a new lineup like countless other bands have in music history.

If you really think about it, the current pantera setup is very respectful to the Vince and Dime. And I think the fact that both Vince and Dime were very unselfish people, they were givers, then they would love seeing the impact of the songs on todays crowds. that was one thing that pantera always agreed on back in the day - that the fans come first. Phil is upholding that well. most of all Dime and Vince loved Zack and Charlie from way back.

I seen them at cowgirl stadium it was a great show

I missed the Pantera Show not on purpose in Detroit, But i have Seen BLS and Zakk Does An Amazing Tribute And I Think Zakk Is The Only Person for the Celebration Tour,Think Its Fine,But Putting Out Music wouldnt Be a Good thing,Except for Maybe Phil and Rex,Hard to Explain but I think You know what i mean,Thanks for the Awesomeness and Respect you have Given to all Concerned, You Rock🤘

Just saw the show in Detroit with Metallica. I loved it. Definitely wasn't the same as the previous 5 times back in the day. But damn it was great to hear them songs live again.

I talked about this on my KZread the other day. I was talking about the best of both worlds VH celebration but touched on the Pantera situation at the same time. Look honoring Eddie, Dime and Vinny should be done. It should be a celebration of the music they gave us. As for ever doing a song or album nah I'm good that doesn't mean go ahead and do a song and call it Wylde's adventure or Phil's collab but you def couldn't label it a Pantera album.

I agree with you! I love the celebration shows for the legacy and giving younger fans a chance to see the songs live……but absolutely no “new” music lol!!! I saw the celebration tour once in September and I have tickets to see it again in February 2024!

Loved the show! Love PANTERA! Like to see Zakk and Charlie featured as DIME specifically was featured heavily in the day, and lacking that makes this show a lot different! Phil hasn’t had too much time w this lineup, so I’m guessing as they go it will change for the better on that note!

people who go thru the type of shit Pantera went through in the late 90's/early 00's generally wind up not being friends for a while but as they get older, they re-kindle those friendships. i know this from experience. i do not think that these shows are some sort of cash-grab. i think it is more like "hey; we've grown up a lot and we want Pantera fans who have never seen us live to have a chance to see us perform these songs live." probably especially for the younger crowd. i think it's great. and i've been a Pantera fan since Cowboys From Hell.

Call it An homage to the fallen. If some proceeds go to the family..then Hell Yeah Rip Boys

I saw them. 10/10. It was a holy experience. Panera has always been one of my favorite bands, and to finally see them live was incredible. Zak and Charlie really do it justice.

@@mac24seven You're missing out bro. They got a pretty sweet turkey pesto and Mac n' Cheese bread bowl.

Seen the show and I can say it was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to. People say this shouldn’t be going on well it is and commenting about how you don’t want it to happen won’t stop it. I also think with all the talent of those 4 guys I’d love to see what kind of music they can put together bc I know it would be killer, I just wouldn’t use the name Pantera.

My first concert was Pantera in 97........all I can still say is Holy FK!!!!!!!!!!

I always thought this was an awesome situation with great people involved, I wouldn't mind this band putting out new original material and even having it tie in with the name Pantera, every fan out there should understand the situation and not be "offended" or whatever. Of course it's not the "real/original" Pantera but it is the heir to the legacy so why not?

As someone who had the pleasure of seeing Pantera about a dozen times in the 90's, I can tell you that it will never be the same as it was. At first I had a n issue with this tour to the extent that they were going out as Pantera, considering Vinnie Pauls statements. I think the bigger question is the motivation of Rex and Phil. If they are truly, in their hearts, doing this as a tribute to Vinnie and Dime, then so be it, if it's about money, then that's a sad perversion of the name and legacy. They are coming to my city early next year and I have debated on going to see them for nostalgia sakes, but at almost 50 years old, I am not sure that I can handle the crowds. Cheers.

I have no doubt that their performances are top notch. I just think they should be billed as Cowboys from hell.

I can't speak to the performance, but the name thing is spot on. Being billed as "Cowboys From Hell" makes sense. I was thinking something along the lines of "Spirit of Pantera". Either way, just "Pantera"... not exactly accurate.

Exactly. Even if they just put that in a small font size above or below the main PANTERA name id be happy. But just going about business calling it Pantera is an utter disrespect to Dime and Vinnie.
