"I can't remember last week."
"I can remember the whole recording process of Vulgar."
Who wouldn't?
I thought the same thing 😂
He was joking, isn't obvious?. Being with a serious face doesn't mean you can't make jokes.
Michael Angelo H. Some long term highlights just stay. As for last week, who knows!?!?!.
Michael Angelo H. He looks like Willem Dafoe in the thumbnail
"I can't remember last week" classic southern stoner dude moment.
Stallin was worse
I love that quote....I can't remember last week LMFAO
Lol and then goes on to talk about how he remembers recording vulgar display like it was yesterday
@@spacechimp4321 Selective-yet-eidetic memory, I've got it too.
Who can?
Interviewer: "from tuba to pantera, quite the transition!"
Rex: " not really"
LMFAO
When you are not a musician you just have wrong opinions about music and musical instruments.
@@EUSL84 I mean even understanding music, it's a pretty fucking big transition
It's strange that my bassist was also a tuba player, and turned into bass, possibly due to the bass related thing.
@@wideblueeyedfear7520 both instruments compliment the beat.
Why do I feel like Rex was the "voice of reason" when Pantera was together?
Its usually the bassist
The bassist usually is
Like in the beginning of drag the waters?
Apparently it’s usually the bassist
but Pink Floyd ...
Rex Brown... yet another example of why bass deserves respect and admiration.
Yeah but i don’t hear a shit
Of corse basist need love who else would every one make fun of?
@@braindrillcp8935 so check your fucking ears
Power chords on bass REE
@@shivamordhaus9586 The drummer lol
The guy's definition of underrated. I can see why as well cause it's really hard to get all the spotlight while playing with Dime, Phil and Vinnie but he was exceptional for Pantera. The art of shredding just defines what a talented individual he is.
Also his bass track of Suicide Note pt.2. He sounds like a fucking machinegun
Ahhh....."The Art of Shredding".....my favorite.
He did some pretty good lines on Floods, too.
also, those sick bass slides during the intro of Revolution is My Name
Rex's voice has a lot of bass
Phil's voice is Djent as a voice.
Dime always had a manly Texas voice too. You should hear him when he covered seek and destroy back when they did the spandex
Rex is such a nice guy. Its funny, its almost like the bass player stereotype, but he really was just kind of that friendly glue that tried to keep the band together. I love guys like that.
Dude calm yourself down. You don't know him and he said some pretty disgusting shit about Vinnie in his book.. he's such a nice guy, I love guys like that!! ......
@@ItsOnlyNiall so what
@@peterpumpkineaterrr u ain't gettin a pull no 🥃 for you ya judas bitch.
@@ItsOnlyNiall keep crying foo
@@peterpumpkineaterrr you got it all wrong buddy. See, you're a joke to us so we stay laughing* at you. 😉
"Tuba to Pantera"
"Tuba to Pantera"
"Hell of a transition!"
"... Not really"
Damn it, Rex is the fucking best.
The Dullahan he didn’t even bat an eye, he was completely serious when he said not really lmao
@@Teddybearpunch Yeah and that's the worrying part lol
A very metal response! I say a metal band somewhere, sometime needs to use a tuba as a main instrument. Rex? Looking at you brother!
I loved that part... lol
hahaha dude that killed me
I remember meeting Rex's mother inlaw in a small texas town. I was delivering furniture and when we took in the couches the house was full up of Pantera paraphernalia. Gold records and signed posters and everything you can imagine. The Sweetest lady, she tried to get us signed posters and tickets to the next show but this was exactly the same time they broke up, so I never got take her up on the offer. Thanks for kicking ass for so many years, Cheers Rex, Bless up Family
"Man I can't even remember last week."
But he can remember recording vulgar.....That's metal af.
Why is that? I find that with some things too. If I remember to set my fantasy football lineup though...then all is good.
Dude at this rate you've already had the closest thing we're ever gonna get to Pantera Reunion O_O
Dexter787 Vinnie, Rex and Phil should play Dimebash together with some of Dimes favorite musicians and Pantera fans
J2H Animations With Zakk Wylde on guitar.
The closest experience I’ve had with a Pantera “reunion” was rocklahoma 2014. Hellyeah on Friday, Kill Devil Hill on Saturday, and Down on Sunday. All but Hellyeah played a Pantera song which was disappointing. It’s almost like Vinnie was ashamed of it at some point. I understand not living in the past but c’mon, I bet Chad Grey could kill some Pantera
I've been saying in the recent years that they should just do a tribute-show in the sense of what they did with Queen and Freddie Mercury. As in, just let other guitar-players do a song or two each, while of course the other three cats do their original respective parts. - People kept saying "reunion", to which others kept replying "Impossible, because Dime...". - Both the fans and especially the band-members needed to start understanding that it's just about going out there and playing the music live with everyone possible, performers and audience, joining in.
And now... Now it's even more fucked. - I wasn't even going to be at that event, as it would likely have been a one-off in the US. But for the sake of it happening I wish it did. - It's really sore, the way it stands now, cause life is fucking fleeting...
I saw Rex with Phil and BLS in Dallas. They played "I'm broken" and one other one. I think it might have been "hostile". I forget. There's video on UA-cam of it. It was at Nokia Theater in GP.
He looks like Iggy Pop and Willem Defoe’s love child.
Willy Nelson x iggy pop
Tom petty lol
@@KiddingTuba Beat me to it!! Willie Nelson. He even talks like him.
And sounds like Willy Nelson.
With a little Willie
-You write great basslines!
Rex: course, you know, I'm something of a scientist myself.
oh holy shit they got Rex.
Let's just appreciate that Rex Brown, bass player of one of the biggest groove metal bands, is an eagle scout
Groove metal ? LMMFAO
True lol
lol groove metal my ass. They were thrash and prog
And he got kicked out for smoking weed lol. I got kicked out of the Boy Scouts because I called another kid a dick and refused to apologize.
@@ABArsenal how tf prog
There needs to be a film about Dimebag Darrell or Pantera Like they did with The Doors and Ray Charles
chucky who would play dimebag 🤔?
Jo201515 jack black
Jo201515 Chris thrash
Absolutely, so do Metallica imo. Especially with their whole beginnings of Lars forming the band, Dave, Cliff's death, etc
There should also be a film about Chuck :)
Rex: Pantera's secret weapon.
Love Rex! Just finished reading his book - HIGHLY recommended.
I must have read a different book. Biggest pile of fire starter I've ever read.
Rex Brown is the man. Now we need a fact or fiction with Mike Patton.
MJNation everyone, like MJNation post, I would kill to see a Mike Patton FoF!
YES
yes but you know he would just troll the guy
YES! Mike Patton!
that seems unlikely
Dude is so chill it's hard to picture him doing what he does with the hardcore people he does it with
Thing I love most about Pantera's songs is that the bass is treated as its own instrument and isn't just a glorified rhythm guitar.
Most bands treat the bass like a de-glorified rhythm guitar
Pantuba
Marty Friedman recording studio.
"Tuba", "hell yeah, the bass of any orchestra band!"
Tubatera
Put Marty’s hair on top of Dime’s! That’d been some HAIR, SON!
Hahahah
lol rex can't remember shit man. l think he goes to wikipedia for reference about himself
+The Abyssal Archivist And he did neither...
I guess you missed the part in his book when he went to Jerry Cantrell's house with a vial of coke in his boot.
They were all on wacky shit at SOME point. Phil being the most publicized in that matter for obvious reasons. And when it comes to Dimebag had he not been killed he would have probably drank himself to death by now. Not everybody has Lemmy's constitution.
The Abyssal Archivist I watched a lecture Phil did at a university in New Orleans, he said the same thing you did about Dimebag, he also said Rex was struggling with drinking. That lecture was in 2009 though. I know Phil gets a lot of flak for stuff, but that lecture was pretty cool to watch.
Well Zakk slowed down, we could have made the same predictions with him 10-15 years ago. Also the fact that Phil is still alive considering he was in much worse shame than Dimebag makes me believe Dime would still be alive today.
Rex is the man. He seemed reluctant to relive some memories but gave his time to loudwire. A veteran.
Could you imagine one of these with dimebag
damn, the never ending sad pantera whos faul / who's right story. You check the interview/statements of phil, then vinnie and rex and it still eats you up when you hear all the different perspectives or try to figure out what was really going on at the time or over their years. So long ago, still so emotional and much unprocessed feelings. I really hope they can talk and let go sometimes, especially vinnie and phil. They not may be friends anymore but i hope they make peace. This damn story touches me so bad!
you guys did all living members of Pantera :D
Maybe they can get a psychic for Darell haha
Doritos Man I don't think they got Vinnie Paul
NP Jas Vinnie's recently came out.
NP Jas Would've taken you 2 clicks to check.
Doritos Man they didn’t do Terry Glaze
Rex is really chill dude. Probably the best source of Pantera info we'll be seeing over the next 10-20 years. Phil left and went on a bender
I remember being 12 years old and my friend giving me a copy of Cowboys From Hell. Back then the band was: Phillip Anselmo, Diamond Darrell, Rexx Rocker and Vinnie Paul. They were still hanging on to their glam rock stage names, and I still have the CD to prove it.
Tim Murphy It was just Rex.
I was also 12 years old when it came out.
It said Diamond Darrell in Vulgar too
False
Now let's get a medium to interview Dimebag Darrel
Interviewer: Dimebag, if you can hear us, make your presence known.
Psychic gypsy lady: *_SQUEAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllll..._*
Mark Arandjus And then you hear a faint ''Getcha' Pull'' in the distance
taxidermy black toooooth
Yeah all the liquids in the room turn to Black Tooth Grinns and everything smells of weed all of a sudden xP
taxidermy whip out the ouija board
Woah that dude looks like he's been through some serious shit!
Nigel Fortune He was 52 then.
He was diagnosed with pancreatitis about 12 yrs ago from heavy drinking.
Treznor 93 remember when he was on that vid right after his surgery? He looked like we was about to die. He looks more himself, here
He kinda has...
Rex is one of my inspirations on bass. Man kills it on Floods
His book is a good read
Every Pantera album has a different feel.they were all incredible.as a young teen,I lived my life by Pantera.
why was I constantly smiling while watching this
4:10 "We were smoking." Yeah, I bet you were Rexxie Boy!!
I can't believe it has 🐝 23 years since I first heard Pantera! Rex is badass!☺️
Tuba to Pantera should the title of a Pantera movie
Far beyond woodwinds
I clicked on this so damn fast
Amos McKibben me too
same bro
Amos McKibben yep lol just like I did when I saw they did one with Vin, and back when they did it with Phil haha. Not fair that Dime isn't still around to do one too, I'm sure his would've easily been the best haha. Will never be able to wrap my head around why things went how they did with Pantera, and why Dime and the other victims had to be senselessly murdered by that psycho shitbag. It'll always bug me that I was only 11 when Pantera last played, and though I started becoming a huge fan around that time I was too young to get a chance to see them. RIP Dime I've been thinking of you a lot lately it's hard to believe 12 years has already passed, we all miss your presence terribly brother.
My two favorite things on earth are music and comedy and he was a god at both, why mother fucker why, there's a hole in everyone's life that can't be replaced ever!...ever.
Same
Thanks for paying attention to us fans
It took him some time to recall what year he was born in XD Rex you're a legend
Rex is my favourite Pantera member \m/
No he's not
Said no one ever
Lmao
James Rodolfo lol mine is dime and phil
He’s super underrated
I really liked Metallica's early stuff but Pantera completely blew everyone else away. Pantera is still my favorite band.
Dude I had no idea he was an all state tuba player. So am I...in the same fucking state. And we had the same reasons for picking up bass. My connection with Rex and Pantera just got fucking deeper, holy fucking shit. I already loved him as sort of the mellow, laid back, reserved member of the band. Now it’s like “holy fucking shit, we have a decent bit in common”.
Back in the "I am the Night/Projects in the Jungle" days, Rex was referred to as "Rex Rocker", along with "Diamond Darryl", and "Vince Paul the Brick Wall".
He sounds like he's chill as fuck.
What a humble man. I first got into Pantera when I was sent to Iraq in 2004. Been jamming loud and proud since. God bless you
I've been waiting for this one!
He's so serious! Oh well, love his southern accent. I still have my Pantera cassettes from 25 years ago that I still love to listen to.
Wish I never trashed mine. I remember listening to cowboys in highschool when it first came out. Non stop domination back to back. Then vulgar came out and BAM they became my life long favorite band
Rex Brown doesnt need to explain shit. dude is a mother fucking awesome bassist from on of the goat bands.
I really enjoy listening to Rex talk about the history of the band. He's very direct, grounded and down to Earth.
i was like "woah Grahamed looks alot different".
Shixerz_93 same
Shixerz_93
DACHIE DACHIE
He does
The 1982-1989 era of Pantera is ridiculously underrated.
I'm from dallas, It's a small world, I knew the boys., They were so. Heavy and over the top., dime is three years younger than me(was) I remember seeing them at a club I wasn't old enough to be in, so neither was dime
Fact or fiction....you played bass for a heavy metal band named pantera....Rex........(long pause) “hmmmmmmm yeeeeeah true”
Awesome. Can't wait to hear his solo stuff.
When he said he misses him dearly. Tears started pouring out of myeyes.
Didn’t say “they do get that wrong sometimes”. Unsubbed.
Yeah that was bugging me too lol
I like how these guys ask the questions that no one asks. live it
No one ever talks about how Rex had to keep up with Dimebag and did it flawlessly...🤘
Look at this guy sitting there like he didn’t destroy every stage he walked out on ,
Bmf
This dude has *partied*
Amazing voice, iconic cowboy.
So glad I got to see Pantera 6x before all hell broke loose. Rex's book is amazing! One of my fav Wikipedia Fact or Fiction's.
Pantera's Iggy Pop - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?*
DPM I lold
if you havent picked up rex's book, go do it asap.
maziku so his book is a good read?
I just downloaded it
Rex was/is the man. Mad respect for him!
Anyone who's been in a band knows it's like a family.. but you can only be locked up with your favorite family members for so long before you start hating them. Even being married to your wife or husband... You need some apart time so your not up each others ass all the time. I don't blame anyone for the break up. Time ran it's course and sometimes that magic you bottled up runs out and that's it man.. magic like that is like a dragon. It's wild and you just hold on and enjoy the ride. When it's over you reflect and reminisce and embrace what you had and hi 5 the good times. That's all you can do.
I met rex and Phil at rock on the range and they are some down to earth dudes, really nice people
He looks very old xD
Agustin Rodriguez he is
Agustin Rodriguez look better than phil and vinni lol
true that
kinda scary
Agustin Rodriguez He looks better now than he did a few years ago.
They should get Mike Patton for this.
efuentes42 yeah, hopefully they'd go into detail about everything including Mr. Bungle. It'd be like 4 parts.
it could be really cool as long as he didn't go into i am better than this shit mike patton.
I still have a guitar pick from 1997 oz fest the 1st oz fest and they were down here in Palm Beach coral sky 18th birthday party. Never forget that weekend Memorial Day weekend
Just read this legends book. Very good read & a lot more memories in there. Well recommended
Now you have had every member of pantera besides dime 😭
Glad they got Vinnie in time... damn I'm destroyed :(
WTFDalis
Same dude... broke my heart man
Rock on brother Rex, rock on🤟
i love this man, crazy dude and a great member of pantera....
Underrated musician, nice as hell dude. One of the coolest people I've ever met.
legend.
"We had Vinnie in here last week.
I saw him yesterday..."
Hmmm...interesting....👻
I thought he said, I saw it yesterday, as in his Loudwire video
I lived in Woodson Tx and went to Graham all the time. That's crazy.
Class act! Love Rex on bass and his solo stuff
So, is he saying that Vulgar Display of Power was PanterA's answer to Metallica's Black album?
Edit: this video popped back up in my recommendations today. My father saw the thumbnail and thought it was Iggy pop! the years have not been kind to Rex. Cause now he looks like Iggy pop to me too.
Wodinn maybe be so, they pretty much led the torch for thrash (though they’re classified as groove metal) or heavy and fast music at the time ever since Metallica went commercial and more mtv oriented
Daniel Guerrero pantera are like anti sellouts they saw the success of Metallica and got harder
They definitely kept true to the music.
No, the opposite of that.
In a way, they saw a chance to overtake the title of the heaviest band around since Metallica changed their style and they created vulgar
Am I the only one that noticed Rex constantly screwing and unscrewing the cap on his water?
I was fortunate enough to meet Rex in Asbury Park NJ in the 90’s and this dude was cool as shit man. He spoke with us for a minimum of 30 minutes. Humble as can be..
Legendary dude from a LEGENDARY BAND!! 🤘🤘
So are we getting a new Pantera home video or what?
Finally!! We love ya Rex!!!
Legend Rex Brown Bass guitar!! Very tanks!!
It’s Crazy... I lived in Woodson Texas for about a year.... Of all places. Was smack in the middle of Where Vinnie was born (Abilene) and Rex (Graham)... Was in those towns often and never knew even though I’ve been a Panera fan since I was 12 (now 35).
i hope phil and vinnie would just hug it out someday and create a new PanterA album tribute to dime! \m/
“I can’t remember last week”
“I remember recoding Vulgar like it was yesterday”
Where is Grahamed!!!! Please make sure he is back soon. That man is one of the best music journalists and interviewers I have ever seen. Great disposition and it seems to come across in how his subjects respond in interviews. For the love of jeebus please tell us he will be back on the beat soon.
I've been on a 17 hour Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction binge
My friend's sister was in rehab with Rex...haha
Now Rex is the official metal “Willie Nelson” with all due respect ✊
My heart is beating out of my chest when they got on the subject of the breakup. Fuck that's rough shit
What I wouldn't give just to smoke with this guy and jam for a day. Seems like an awesome dude and my kind of people!
*For Real!*
he's chill
OMG you're a lucky man, I love Rex. Its funny that in the interview he was drinking water, if this were in the 90s he will be drinking a bottle of alcohol xD
He still has really nice hair. He always had the best hair.
Rex you are my favorite Bass player man.
Love ya Rex man. Good to see ya.
