It seems like both Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown would like to patch things up with Vinnie Paul Abbott and perhaps setup a PANTERA reunion with Zakk Wylde on guitar. From what we have been told, it wouldn't be a full fledged return for PANTERA but simply a tribute to Dimebag Darrell Abbott (Vinnie's brother).
Brazil's Wikimetal podcast recently spoke with Anselmo and asked him about the possibility of a PANTERA reunion with Wylde on guitar, this is what Anselmo had to say:
"Honestly — and I've spoken with Zakk about it as well — we're very aware of the public perception out there, but honestly, until I speak with Vinnie Paul, which has not yet happened, and it doesn't look like it's going to happen, nothing can happen. Honestly, I tell you, my phone is on the hook, my e-mail is wide open, my door is wide open. I would love to talk with Vince. Honestly, if there were no more bad feelings and we could talk, and we could come to an understanding, I think it would mean not only a lot for me and myself — it would mean the world to me — but it would mean a great deal to the fans out there as well. I think people don't want to see this arguing anymore. It's time for some peace. It's time for some brotherhood. And honestly, we should be setting an example instead of being the opposite. And I'll just say that my door is wide open, and so far, Vinnie's door is closed, and it's a shame."

Here is a recent interview we conducted with Rex Brown, in which he talks about the bands chemistry when things were good and about the legacy of his brother Dimebag!
About fucking time! I know Phil is the big reason to why Pantera broke up and Vince has all right to be angry about what has happen to both him and Dimebag. Put somewhere along the way you've to forgive and move on
ReplyDeleteIts funny how dime is phil and rex's "brother" now. but up until the day he died they had simply turned their back on him. they are delusional.
