Posted in METAL NEWS | September 28, 2011 No comments





It looks like HANK 3 (SUPERJOINT RITUAL/ARSON ANTHEM ) is letting everyone know where he stands on the subject of a possible PANTERA tribute reunion show. The ultimate Cowboy From Hell himself, Hank 3 recently discussed his feelings on the matter in a new interview, stating:

“…I can’t speak for Philip or for Vinnie. All I can speak for is the fans, which I am one of. I know the fans would love to see the surviving members of Pantera reunite.
