Before Pantera's show in Memphis on 2/10/24 at the FedEx Forum, bassist Rex Brown, guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante perform the haunting track from 1996's The Great Southern Trendkill.
The ’90s was a very peculiar musical decade. It entered with L.A.’s party-time hair metal and concluded with the rise of Nu metal, boy bands, and the real Slim Shady. In between those bookends saw the maturation of Metallica, a cold front moved in from the Pacific Northwest with dark clouds of morose and menace, gangsta rap from the coasts flooded the heartland and suburbs, and punk went pop with big hitters from Green Day, Offspring, and Blink 182. But Pantera proudly flew the flag of metal. Those Cowboys from Hell were Phil Anselmo (vocals), Darrell “Dimebag” Abbott (guitar), Rex Brown (bass), and Vinnie Paul Abbott (drums). They took chances and took no prisoners all while having the time of their lives.
They were originally a glam metal band fronted by Terry Glaze. That lineup put out three albums and tirelessly worked the Texas club circuit from 1981 to 1986. They replaced Glaze with New Orleans cat Phil Anselmo who continued the falsetto tradition but made the band more Priest than Stryper. They released Power Metal in 1988 with latex-laced riffs before trading the Sunset Strip for the mosh pit when they released 1990’s breakthrough marauding Cowboys from Hell. And things completely clicked for them when they chiseled out their core sound with 1992’s Vulgar Display of Power that unleashed power-groove, annihilation anthems “Mouth for War,” “Walk,” “This Love,” and “Fucking Hostile.” That set the tone for the rest of the decade and everyone else in metal was playing catch up.
When Metallica went Load and Reload, they went fiercer and forceful with 1994’s Far Beyond Driven (earning them a No. 1 record on Billboard 200). While Reznor and Manson explored techno, dissonance, and industrial sounds, the four metalheads went darker and harder with down-tuned guitars and even faster tempos creating 1996’s The Great Southern Trendkill. And as Slayer tried Nu metal with Diabolus in Musica, Pantera said hold my Crown Royal and doubled down on their demolition with 2000’s Reinventing the Steel.
Bands can burn out and friendships can become more grating than gratifying. Anselmo and Brown continued exploring their side gig with Down (started in the mid-’90s in between Pantera albums and tours) and the idle Abbott Brothers started Damageplan. A war of words filled magazine covers and airwaves making the divide wider. Then, on December 8th, 2004, while performing with Damageplan at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, the unthinkable, agonizing, and gut-wrenching onstage murder of Dimebag occurred. (This horrific date was exactly 24 years after the shocking loss of John Lennon.) And in 2018 his brother Vinnie Paul succumbed to coronary artery disease. The idea of Pantera ever seeing the stage, in any form, seemed impossible.
But remaining members Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo tossed around the idea of finding friends to fill in for the Abbott brothers. There are indications they had a list, but anyone who knew anything about Pantera, and especially Dime, would bet their last dollar that Zakk Wylde was the only right option. And Charlie Benante of Anthrax made so many cameos in Pantera’s collection of Vulgar Videos home movies that he was the prime candidate for Vinnie Paul’s throne.
Brown has gone through so much gear. He’s lost amps and donated basses to charity. He’s fostered many fruitful friendships with companies that’s resulted in signature wares for war. His latest partnership has him riding high on a pair of namesake Thunderbirds dressed in black and gold. He still tours with old Spectors who feel like home (if home was a thunderstorm). He’s got a proper pedalboard and rack gear that’s been routed through a RJM switcher (first time ever). And he and tech Bobby Landgraf (also guitar player in Honky and Down for Down IV - Part II) detail the whole chain of tonal command. Then we have a blast chatting with Zakk Wylde who covers his toolbox of Warhammers and Master 100 heads. He ponders what it must’ve been like to have been Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads who toured with their iconic instruments and not having any backups! And then his longtime tech Stephen Murillo goes over his rack gear that includes three pieces from Dimebag Darrell’s original Pantera rig.

Top of the line equipment 👌🏼🤘🏼👊🏼
One of the things I admire most about Rex's style is his ability to fill space. The way Rex was able to fill the musical area while Dimebag did his solos is underappreciated if you ask me. This video shows just how good these three guys are musically and how brilliant the Abbots were at writing. Thank you for making this.
Agreed a pantera solo
Was always a win win you got a dimebag solo then Rex and Vinny backing it up.
Rex was always phenomenal . I think TGSTK and RTS are two albums where you can hear just how versatile he is and how he can match Dime note for note and then go off on his own and still sound perfectly synced with Dimebag..his bass playing in Down is just as incredible playing along two bad ass guitarist in their own right with Pepper and Kirk.. He can play guitar like a mofo as well. He put out a solo album and he plays guitar and sings on it and it's not bad at all. Dude is just a well rounded musician.
Yep basically a rhythm bass player if that makes sense
Rex getting the love! He's the stalwart of Pantera
And superjoint!
Although he’s not flashy, he has a solid groove and an incredible touch on his instruments that translates into an amount of nuances that makes even few notes weighting tons. One of my heroes since my very early days into music.
The outro with the storm outside has been running through my mind since highschool.
Pantera is the background music to my youth.
💯
100%
Amen, Floods was always one of my favorites. I bought Trendkill in 1998, I was in 9th grade, I’d rewind the outro and listen to it over and over again for hours…in class or in bed. The guitar tone Dime used there with the rain was just magical. I recently went back and brushed up on a dozen Pantera songs, there was always a lot of parts in the solos I knew I was never doing quite right as the guitar magazines were always hit or miss. If only there was UA-cam and songsterr back then!
I was in 7th grade when Vulgar came out. They've been my number 1 band since that day, and STILL is my #1. 🤘🤘
Same here
I came here for that solo . Trendkill literally dropped the day my mom died in my arms at 17 years old and this dark extremely aggressive album carried me through the darkest time of my life but this solo was warm and emotional and pulled on the strings of my heart in a way I just couldn't explain. Thank you for posting this and props to Zak for stepping into the shoes of a true legend so we can still enjoy this amazing music. ❤
Well said brother.
That's THE bass sound
Fukin bad af man
YESSSS
Hats off to Zakk! He really channeled in on Dime with this one. He is honoring his brother and paying the ultimate tribute.
Zakk would sound about 300% better without the chorus effect.
Dime used to play this with a ton of chorus@@mutoneon
@@jaytarantino yeah but Dime's tone was thinner, Zakk's guitar sounds fat as fuck, that's the only thing that doesn't match, anyway he did a great job filling those shoes.
no no no no respectfully i couldnt disagree more. chorus is def a part of both zakk and dime tones, i see as a piece of their tonal identity. remove his chorus is like making a main course top tier michelin star dish without salt hehe
He should play this song like Dime use to play in 00/01 with distortion in the chorus, sound better at least for me.
That outro has a special place in my heart... I know Dime some where is smiling seeing his friend carrying on the legacy. Probably busting his chops too but in all love.
Best outro of all time.
@@psychotogether5114 totally agree 👍 🤘
dime and vinnie refused to play with rex and phil. no one is smiling. thats why they had to wait till vinnie and dime died, to tour. and leech. dime wrote all of that... rex's bass lines werent bad.. but hes not victor wooten. dime and vinnie are pantera. without them.. this is.. two ex members who are heroin addicts.. looking for one more big pay day. but hey.. all the little kids are going to see them, like its the real pantera. so they might be able to do this every year and make money off dime and vinnies music. how cool. barf.
@@GonnaGetYouBoishut your mouth. Stop watching thier videos, stop stalking them if you don’t like it 🤡🖕🏼 god you imbeciles are something else. Stfu
@@GonnaGetYouBoi 💯 Fuck this shit show parade of fucktards. Let's do a Van Halen reunion "without Van Halen"
The Floods outro and the solo from The Sleep give me chills every time.. There will never be another band like Pantera.
Exactly! ❤
Saw Dime play this one live in Dallas 2001.Remember it like yesterday. This solo and outro will be played at my funeral.
We are the lucky ones.
Sadly I didn’t get to see them I was only 1 when dime died
Was there too Bro 😫😭
To see where Zakk came from, and his history playing guitar, he's exactly where he should be.
I miss Dime and Vinnie, for sure.
This is a solid tribute to fallen friends.
Great song 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
I'm so glad they decided to add this song to the lost. I always thought this song was so beautiful...a true masterpiece. Miss you Dime and Vinnie
The drums sound soooo good 😫
Indeed. Love the kick drums especially .
Zack and Benante are the perfect fit for this!, nobody else could have pulled it off with grace!
Both are horrible, so much better musicians for this on youtube.
@HenritheHorse yeah OK, and that's why they're on UA-cam and not playing for Ozzy at 20 years old or at the forefront of the creation of a metal genre.
@@craigdobson9068 Zakk and Charlie were chosen only because they are friends with Pantera guys. They never created anything worthwhile.
oh yes they have no right to be there lol,they are world class musicians, most of the kids on youtube have never even played in from of a live audience of even 10 people@@HenritheHorse
@@anthonycarr9118 I'm not talking about kids, but adults who have played for several decades and in bands too.
Everyone including Zakk knows he can't fill Dime's shoes but he damn sure gives him a nice tribute and you can tell he's worked hard to do it justice...🤘☠️🤘
That's the thing. Zakk isn't trying to fill shoes. He's paying tribute to his friends. He's made no secret of this and is talented enough to hit Dime manorisms but with a touch of Wylde. For me it's perfect. If I want to hear Dime I have records, I want the soul and Zakk brings that in droves.
Exactly zakk never wanted to fill the shoes of Dime he's just playing in his honor as a friend.
As a fan of Dime since the 1990 release of CFH and then Zakk several years later when he joined Ozzy, I love this combo Dime/Zakk style live! Sure he misses some notes and plays others different, but he's never tried to replace Dime... There simply isn't another on this planet who could love and pay homage to their long lost buddy like Zakk is to Dime! The first time I heard them do this a few weeks ago, I was absolutely floored how well both Zakk and Charlie did! It definitely let some tears flow as I've always thought this to be Dime's most soulful solos and Zakk did an amazing job🤘😭🤘Without Phil's vocals, it is so much easier to fully hear and appreciate Rex's amazing bass throughout!
Y’all keep saying that but dime couldn’t fill Zakks shoes either!! I’ve heard dimes ozzy songs live and they were way off!! But that’s what makes them all legendary!! They have unique styles that can’t be duplicated. Who tf would want any legend playing the exact way the other legend played? If they did they wouldn’t be legends. They would be clones. Zakk is the best for this job and dime would absolutely approve just like if zakk died he would approve dime playing his songs although they wouldn’t sound exactly the same
@@kidmac1514 Well said! Both Dime and Zakk more than likely could practice enough and sound almost, if not exactly the same, but then each would be suppressing their own unique style. It might be different if Zakk was actually replacing Dime in Pantera, but this isn't what this lineup was set out to do. I'm sure drummers or drum lovers can easily make out the difference between Vinnie and Charlie, but my ears and brain can't.
Well done Zakk , it’s an important piece
Everyone talking about Zakk but they got a damn fine drummer to fill in too.
Absolutely incredible, sounds so similar to the original and this is a warm up people! Precisely why Zakk and Charlie are the perfect fit to do Dime, Vinny and the Pantera legacy proud. Bravo gentlemen 👏👏🗯🤘🏼❤
A good Saturday morning head bang on the toilet.
Are you me?
Ouch!
me rn but it’s friday
Awesome hearing the instrumental soundcheck. The band do a great job tributing this song. Zakk sounds great playing Dime's parts and Charlie sounds great too. Rex is on point as he always was. Such a great song. Nice to hear the tribute version played on this leg of the tour 🤟
I love it when people say "This is not Pantera" Me: "whatever, let's call it the Charlie, Zack, Rex, Phil symphony then"
This is not the greatest band in the world, no it's just a tribute and a damn good one.
Or perhaps, PantZ, as it's half of the band, plus Zakk.
They can be Tiger, Lion, Puma, Jaguar, Tabby Cat. Any other feline, for the best Pantera tribute band in the world ❤
People say it's not Pantera because it's not Pantera, but that's not a disrespectful thing to say. Regardless, it's still 4 legendary musicians coming together to pay tribute to the band Pantera! I would consider them a supergroup, more than anything else. With that said though, I do hope to catch a live show before they stop playing tribute shows!
Tribute. 🙏
Couldn’t have found a better fit than Charlie and Zakk, monsters.
Fuck yeah Markie!
Such a beautiful, haunting song
As an early 90s kid who didn't have the blessing to see Pantera live, this is so fucking awesome. Idc whether people call this a tribute band. Zakk, Charlie, Phil and Rex are paying homage like no others could! And the true fans are grateful.
Rex is a very bad ass
🎉
zakk is killing it, perfect tribute
This song has been in my heart after the first time I took in the closing guitar...it pulls at your heart, no matter who you are, this kind of art is a thing of beauty. I'm so grateful I have ears to listen to it. Hearing Zakk bring it back to life with Rex all these years later is plain awesome.
I love the ending outro of this song so much. The storm/rain effect at the end just adds to the mood of the whole song. Such a beautiful piece of music that only Dime could have some up with. I remember reading an interview with him back in the day and they were asking him where he came up with it and he said it was after a night of partying he came home strapped on his guitar and just hit record on the fly. You never know when a stroke of genius may hit.
MUSICIANSHIP AT ITS FINEST.
These guys are so experienced, every thing is incarnated.
REX !!!!!
Rex killing it as ever! My favourite member from PanterA! Those Bass solos through The guitar solo is the real deal!
Undervalued song on a undervalued albumn that was ahead of its time.
Rex fkn Brown 👊🏼
So fucking happy they play this without any of there own styles added to it. Now I wish I could see them. Cuz this is my favorite pantera song.
Godamn that was pretty good!! Peace from a very long time fan from EAST TEXAS!!
Hear about pantera make me so happy
Zakk has the same guitar tone almost as dimebag. Such an amazing tribute to a guitar legend. They sound amazing.
Zakk is the absolute best person for this not only that but the right person
These guys are doing a great job. Rex's bass tone is awesome takes up good space. Saw the original Pantera in Buffalo with Sepultera & Biohazard. Met Vinnie in Vegas great guy. Met both after the Buffalo show humble & great. At first I wasn't sure of this tribute especially Benante on drums but they sound great. Hats off to you guys
Rex,Charlie and Zakk kick Ass!!!🤘🤘🤘
A Very Dark, BEAUTIFUL Masterpiece ...
Zakk's Done a Truly Fabulous Job With this. SOUNDS AMAZING!
Sounds so full gives me goosebumps. So badass I got to see them last summer 🤘
THank you guys! THanks Pantera! Thank Zakk, Charlie, Rex, Phill, DIME AND ViNNCE, god bless you all brothers!
Brothers? Only Brothers is dime and Vinnie. The rest are just squatters on the Pantera name.
@@cliffordclaussen2321 so sad
This the type of content I wanna see
Woo pantera rules
I still remember the first sensation when I listened to this song for the first time in 1996!!
This is amazing. I’m fortunate enough to have seen Pantera 5 times back in the day and this was always a highlight of the set for me. When they came on at Met Life and to hear the crowd loud AF bellowing “Respect. Walk” sent shivers down my spine. These songs are alive again. Thank you, for doing this.
How can anyone hate on phill for bringing back these magical times in our childhoods?? I guarantee dime bag is smiling and lighting off fireworks yelling at Vince ( listen to this fucking shit bro Zack is killing it and Charlie is your fucking echo dude )
its the same people that complain when bands can't get there stuff together.
This song meant so much to me growing up ❤
This easily is my favorite Pantera song, that solo also makes me tear up when I hear it. Even when I learned it I’d tear up. Mr. Wylde nailed it and made me tear up all over again. 🤘🏿🤘🏿
Saw them live in Tampa....what an awesome show...Dime & Vinny would be proud 🤘🤘🤘
Beautiful
Me and a couple of friends witnessed this amazing show a month ago!
I would say Pantera wins for best rundowns to date. This is some great bonus footage. The drum rundown was also great. And there was two blasts from the Taurus pedals in here to boot that came through nice and deep.
Super keen to see these guys at the end of the month here in Australia \m/ - Thank you for sharing!
Man this song is everything. The outro makes me feel some type of way.
So awesome! Been waiting for a professional shot video of them, god damn they sound good! Thank you for paying respects and helping us all relive such a great time in our lives!
😢 Beautiful. 🤘🤘 Thank you guys for doing this tribute tour.
goosebumps during the solo..outstanding zakk
Best of one yet zakk ... Great job boys 👍
… the ( engine) is ready!! Good video. Thank you for posting. 👊🔥
This is amazing
This all sounds amazing
Always a classic
Brought a tear to my eye!
Sounds pretty damn great. The spirit is there, that’s all you could ask for.
❤ thank you for this. I'm happy they made this happen in some way for us all.
That was jaw dropping 🤘🏻
Awesome! 🤘🏻
Crying my eye's out!! Amazing, Dime and Vin on my mind in this haunting melody🥲
This is amazing!!! Rex’s bass at the end HOLY CRAP!! That’s his custom sound. Zackoria as Phil says his spot on amazing and justified tribute. Dime and Vinnie are smiling big
Tuned down to perfection 👌
Thank you for capturing this!!!
Our pleasure!
Killed it thanks fellas for doing this right
Great video

I went to that show in Memphis. Loved the floods tribute part
what a beautiful guitar Zakk has!!!!
My band and I are used to playing in front of crowds this size.
i love it thanks 💯🤘
I've seen every Pantera show that came to AZ since vulgar display. I saw them play this live once in 2001 the last tour before they split up. Great song. The solo is amazing. R.I.P. Dime.
Hell ya man! I saw them play at Ozzfest in Minneapolis the late 90's. Core memory I'll carry forever.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼so glad they brought this song back
God damn they sound Heavy! Hope they release a live album from this tour!!
O baixo do Rex tá absurdo de foda. Passei minha vida inteira fazendo Air bass e Air guitar nessa música, inclusive nesse exato momento.
Love this instrumental version - going to rip a mp3 for my car !
Damn. This sounded good!
Nailed it!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Incredible.
Awesome !
this is gold in the eyes of the right ones
No matter what! We all came here to listen to the outro!
Damn that sounds good ! Miss ya buddy !
Thanks
Zakk u nailed it bud. Well done!
This is awesome
I saw them this time last year. I wish they had played Floods, hopefully they come back to Japan again
