Zakk Wylde posted a video tease for the upcoming 'Pantera' shows. I'm on the record saying that I don't like it being called Pantera. 'A tribute to', or 'celebration of' would've been more appropriate in my opinion, but who am I?

Of course, it's Rex Brown, Phil Anselmo with Zakk and Charlie Benante on drums. I talked about this on a recent episode of my Talkin' Rock podcast with Charlie's nephew and fellow Anthrax member, Frank Bello. "Look, you have to understand, we were very, very, very close with PANTERA. We were family; that's our family. So if there's one guy in the world to play drums and pay tribute to this thing, it's Charlie Benante — right off the bat. He was very close with Dime, very close with Vinnie. We all were; we all were. So that's family to us." He went on to add "So I think it's a great celebration. I'll be there watching it. I can't wait. I think it's a great thing. Can you imagine the people that haven't seen this are gonna see these songs live? That's a great thing. So I think it's great for metal. I think it's great to pay tribute to Dime and Vinnie."

What are you thoughts on this? Are you going to go see it? I'll also go on record saying that I'm going to see it!

MeltdownEditor
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history. Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
