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. The only guy that could fill in for Dimebag would be Zakk Wylde. If there ever were to be a reunion tour, the fans would be very appreciative. They could dedicate the tour to Dime.
