    Charlie is the man for the job. No doubt about it. Mad respect to him for being such a consistent, and incredible drummer for longer than I've been alive. The man is a machine! 🙏🥁

    Charlie having that moment where he misses his friends at 9:45 is beautiful. Shows us just how human these guys are and how important it is to commemorate their music. To all the people complaining about this being Pantera reunion or not just think about whats going on through their heads when playing Pantera music. Let's be grateful for all this an leave the negativity im your pocket.

      It's not Pantera, obviously, but they are still doing their thing and I wouldn't mind hitting up a show sometime if I get the chance. Also, regardless if it's "Pantera" or not it doesn't change the fact that it's 4 legendary musicians performing together and I have to say judging by all the live clips I have watched they are doing a pretty good job so far!

      I had the honor of attending the show in Austin, TX last year on Dime's birthday. They kicked ass and at one point they paused the show and brought up a bunch of friends and family to do a shot for Dime. It really was great being able to hear those songs live again.

    Charlie himself threw me a drumstick after finishing cowboys from Hell during Metallica‘s Detroit Michigan show. He threw it directly at me. He pointed to me and then threw it and I caught it and it’s hanging in my room right now, one of my biggest prized possessions love the man he’s a machine.

    Nice to see I'm not alone in miking my snare drum with a 58! I've been wondering if anyone else does the same. I sometimes wonder if people are so hung up on the labels of a 58 being a vocal mic, and a 57 being an instrument mic, that they don't even bother to try it. I bet a lot of people would be surprised if they actually tried it out.

    Great interview with one of the true GOAT's, who is playing another sorely missed GOAT's music every night. That must feel very surreal. It's one thing to play in a tribute band, but to actualy be THE band, not the tribute, is, I'm sure, a very emotional experience. It's pretty obvious that's the case just in the way he talks about the gig. Charlie, you've always been one of my top 10 influences, in my own playing style. I learned a lot from you my man. You've absolutely helped to make me a bettr drummer, just like Vinnie did. When I heard you were the man that would be driving this absolutely incredible lineup, I knew it was going to be special. I can think of no other players carrying the torch for Pantara, than you and Zack. Absolutey perfect fit, on and off the stage. You guys are really doing it right too. The amount of respect, and love you guys are pumping into these songs, is palpable. Kudos to the entire band for giving us this wonderful gift. Thank you so much for doing, what I'm sure at times, is a very difficult thing to do. I don't know much at all about the relationship, if any, you had with Vinnie, but even if you never met the guy, I'm sure it is at times, very emotionally taxing. I know there's obviously high points, Of course there are, you're in freakin PANTARA! How could that NOT be a huge rush? You're filling those incredible, and intimidating shoes so well man. It's a testament to your experience, and skill level, that you wear those shoes, with confidence, and pride, but also love and respect. You're the man, man. lol

    Anthrax is slowly but surely becoming one of my favorites and love the fact they chose Charlie to play in the Pantera concerts 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
