But after that episode, it appears he never spoke to Anselmo or Brown again, except to deal with business issues. But the way I look at it is, if it really is affecting someone to where they have to come out and say hateful things about me, untrue things about me, paint bullshit mystique about me, then, in their heart of hearts, they do care about me — that's the point. Vinnie Paul's closed-door policy when it comes to me, that's something he's gonna have to ride around on his shoulders the rest of his fucking life.
I know this: My door is always open, and always has been open. I wanna look forward; I wanna keep moving forward. I understand them wanting to see it, especially people who've never had an opportunity to see Pantera, but without my brother being part of it, it just doesn't make any sense.
I'm not gonna trample on his legacy to make some people happy. We had 14 amazing years together and we sold nearly 40 million records around the world. That's some pretty amazing stuff. And the band is, actually, to me, bigger today than it was then. This band was awesome. No arguments about that Being Black and Mexican, it offends me What Vinnie said was deep, real deep I remember I heard when Dime died, I was sad, even now, its been over a year, and every time I think back to it, I tear alittle But its good that Vinnie is moving on I have to say I don't really know Pantera's music, I wasn't listening to metal much after Metallica and Megadeth's first few records, but I have to complement Vinnie.
I have seen him address Anselmo's does this guy really think he's Anglo with a name like that?!?? But Pantera were 4 guys, not one or two, but four awsome musicians The Abbott Brothers would have been nothing without Phil and Phil would have nothing without Dimebag and Vinnie.
This isn't right and this bad blood needs to stop flowing, who else has to die onstage? What would happen if Dimebag wasn't shot but instead died of alcohol poisoning because he drank black-tooth grins like a fish. At the rate He's going He'll be a parody of himself before it's over. A friend of mine met Phil This was dureing the vulger display period. He was a complete prick. He was supposed to be interviewed for a local mag artvoice I think. He did not do the interview because he was talking to a couple of 16yr old girls at the time.
He was apparently seriously rude about it too. It's really sad to see him go down the road he's on but nobody made him do it. There is something cool about that. First, I give much hats off respect to Vinnie for finding the strength to carry on with his life.
In short my brother was murdered 10yrs ago the same way and it still feels like it happened yesterday. It brings tears to my eyes when I think about the connection the Abbotts' had as well as when I listen to not only the D-plan cd but all of Panteras' stuff.
Nothing in that genre will ever top what they did!! But like they say it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch and I fully agree with Vin's decision to sever ties with phil. Being African American myself and being involved in the underground metal scene since '85 as well as punk I can honestly say that I had only one experience with rasicm all those years and it wasn't from any band or members from bands. Racism, racist comments and racist people don't belong in metal cuz I feel it is possibly the greatest music out there.
It can't continue to grow with little phils' out there. Once again much heart felt props to Vinny for being strong and keeping Dimes' legacy alive I can't wait to hear what pounding drum licks Vin comes up with next! He said bad thing about dime but man thats the past man. I just refuse to acknowledge ignorant people. I treat it like someone else is singing. Not that you could expect one from him. Yes, we will appreciate what Pantera did for the metal world The reason Vinnie doesn't want to associate with Phil is probably because Phil severed the brotherhood, and at the worst time he could have.
Can't blame him. Phil did not sever the brotherhood. Keep in mind that he was not allowed to go to the funeral of Dime. At one time, they were liek brothers. But, Vinnie and Phil should be men and end this.
I am not sticking up for Phil, but I am not a moron. This is a problem between both the Abbots and Phil, and both are equally responsible. I'm sure there's all kind's of stuff that the fans are unaware of and we should all keep this in mind two sides to every story.
The chances of a reunion have gone from highly unlikely to flat out impossible. RIP Dime Can't wait to see and hear Vinnie playing music again.. Vinnie maybe some day.. You pick the style, they could pull it off. So in reality we had to find out where our musical hearts lay strongest. More bad reviews than good at the time. The Reason? Once again as I have said before, the press remained basically unimpressed, BUT, with the heavy metal audience, the phenomenon of Pantera had already begun.
Slowly but surely, the fan base grew larger and larger the best fans in the world I say still! As a band, our brotherhood and obvious originality and musicianship cemented us as one of the most feared and loved bands ever to step on a stage. That, is what we all lived for. We figured as long as our awesome audience was moved head banging, skanking, stage diving, of course we would play for us and them.
The difference between us and these great bands was the fact that we also had an insanely great guitar player who was respected alongside the best of the best, and a rhythm section so unique and tight, goddamn they were tight, tight is and always will be the word. I guarantee throughout our 17 year existence it would be extremely difficult to have one memory of Rex or Vince messing up or playing a part wrong ever.
That to some people may be amazing or impossible, however I mean what I say times over. Guitar magazines throughout the world were right on the money by calling Dimebag the best axe man of the time.
By god Darrell had that type of talent and then some. His rhythms he came up with, in ways, probably became even more influential. In all honesty he preferred a more accomplished guitar player than some of the rawer sloppier stuff that I adored, but what he did love about the rawer stuff was its all out assault on the ears. Bless him, he did love that. Within his style he commanded and demanded the best out of himself, and all of us around him.
So I will say to everyone in Texas that ever called me a friend, and especially all of my brothers that helped work with us as Pantera on the road crew; I love all of you. A month has gone by since we, his former band mates, his current band mates, his friends and fans around the world, have lost Dimebag. It is also the last thing I think about as I lay down to rest. God damn it still hurts me. I want to be there for Vinnie Paul no matter how long it takes. Bare with me, please. I beg you all.
I have considered retirement because of a broken heart, but also in my heart, I cannot let my fans down. The weight of the world would be lifted off of our shoulder as we hugged each other. Play together again? I have a suspicion that our fans would demand some type of reunion. My god I thought of that so many times and because what our fans wanted, they usually got. It's a start and in time we'll probably sit down face to face.
She continued: "Despite all the issues I'll say this: going out selling the merchandise for Darrell every summer has given me a whole different perspective.
When you are with all the people that PANTERA 's music touched and you hear the stories they have about how a certain song got them through, even if they never got to see them, it makes you realize that you're being selfish and that your issues are petty and false. I'm not the big picture.
They are. I'm so grateful for all the things I learned from Darrell and I want to try to be that kind of person you know. She added: "I wish Vince was more like his brother when it comes to welcoming new people into his world, instead of feeling strapped up or that it's a problem or an inconvenience.
Of course it can be overwhelming, I used to watch Darrell every day and marveled at how amazing he was at handling it, but I wish there was more of that in Vinnie. I know he has never really dealt with the death of his brother head on, and instead he's chosen to shut it away and hope that he'll never have to discuss it.
If he was open to sharing some of his stories with people, he might just find peace, and if he let people in, he might also just see the big picture I'm talking about.
