Last month it was confirmed that PANTHERsurviving members Philippe Anselme (singing) and Brown Rex (bass) will unite with the guitarist Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, THE BLACK BRAND SOCIETY) and drummer Charlie Benante (Anthrax) for a world tour under the PANTHER banner.
Anselm et Brownin the same way wyld et Benantewill headline a number of major festivals in North America and Europe and stage some of their own signature concerts.
According to Billboardthe formation received the green light from the estates of the band's founders, drummer Vincent "Vinnie Paul" Abbott and guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbottas good as Brownwho said last year wyld wouldn't run with PANTHER if a meeting should take place. We don't know what changed his mind.
Benante told SiriusXMit is "Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk" on how he plans to approach PANTHER concert: "I can't do that as a drummer. Anthrax because that would sound completely different. So the way I'm gonna do this is if you close your eyes it's gonna sound like it's Vinnie, basically. And that's how it's gonna be. The sound will sound exactly like him. »
wyld says he had a similar mindset. “You approach it the same way as when I play with ozy" , he said. “Obviously, I have to learn [Randy] Rhoadsit's stuff and i have to learn Jacquesit's [E.Lee] stuff, and when I was doing the [BLACK] SABBATH things, you learn it and do it as faithfully as you can. Charlyyou have to learn everything Vinnie's parties. You approach it like you're in a cover band. When we do the ZAKK SABBATH stuff,” referring to his BLACK SABBATH cover band, "I don't start changing lyrics halfway through 'War Pigs'. You learn the songs – so that's what you do. »
A year ago, Anselm said he was up for finding Brown for a special tour celebrating the music of PANTHER. The 54-year-old singer, who has spent the past few years playing a PANTHER-set centered with his solo group, ILLEGALSdiscussed the possibility of teaming up with his former PANTHER teammate during an interview with the Brazilian band Inside with Paulo Baron. asked if he and Rex would be open to playing a few shows to celebrate PANTHERinheritance, Anselm said, "If Rex and I had a show to play, where we were going to go back on stage together one day, I would welcome it with open arms. I like Rex. And it would be the same way. We are brothers forever. So playing together on stage, or doing shows together, is not out of the question. It could happen. »
In April 2021, Rex told eonmusic that he and Philippe always receive offers for a PANTHER tribute tour. "But if you don't have the other guys in the band, it won't sound the same," he said. “If we ever had to do something like this, it would have to be perfect, otherwise I wouldn't do it. It would be a tribute. »
Talk about a possible PANTHER "meeting" intensified when Anselm joined regularly wyldit is THE BLACK BRAND SOCIETY carry out PANTHERthe song " I'm broken " during DOWNin 2014 on "Tour of the Golden Gods of the Revolver". This buzz only got stronger after Brown joined the jam on May 23, 2014 when the tour passed through Texas.
Until his death, Vinnie remained on silent terms with Anselmwhom the drummer indirectly blamed dime bagit's death.
Vinnie Paul et dime bag co-founded PANTHER. When PANTHER separated in 2003, they formed DAMAGE PLAN. On December 8, 2004, while performing with DAMAGE PLAN at Villa Alrosa in Columbus, Ohio, dime bag was shot on stage by a troubled schizophrenic who believed members of PANTHER stole his thoughts.
