TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION – Vocalist Comments On Rumored PANTERA Reunion: ‘There’s Humongous, Gigantic Money On The Table For That Tour’

BDR: Man, you know, um, I just um, I think that Vinnie probably wants to um… I don’t want to say tarnish, you know what I mean? But some football players stay a little past their prime, like Aaron Smith staying a year or two past playing for the Arizona Cardinals, that shouldn’t have happened. Or Tony Dorsett left to play for the Denver Broncos. If you have great stats as a baseball player, you’re hitting over .300 for your career, you don’t want to go back and disappoint. And I think that’s the way some of those guys look at it.



But from where I’m at, I hear a lot of rumors. I know there’s humongous, gigantic money on the table for that tour. It would be bought out like crazy and would sell out. Even with Zakk in the spot, and he’s a pretty great guitar player, nobody could fill Dimebag’s shoes on the planet. I think if it happens, I would support all those guys. I don’t think that Rex, Vinnie or Phil are in it for the money, so we know that won’t be the reason they do it. It will be from their hearts.




PNT: You guys constantly talk about how rock isn’t in as bad shape as the radio makes it out to be. What’s your favorite new band, or a musician that’s been impressing you as of late?

BDR: Man I really like, right now, the Sons of Texas quite a bit. They are really impressing me with what they’re doing. You know, I can dig some of that. Upon a Burning Body on the heavier inside, another Texas band, some great music comes out of Texas. I might get stuck on that sometimes and expand beyond the great state! Laughter.
