Den Headz, legendary shredder Zakk Wylde has expressed his feelings via a new interview with Hard Drive Radio on the idea of a hypothetical PANTERA reunion that would have him playing ‘guest guitar’ in place for the late “Dimebag” Darrell.
“I’m truly honored that the fellows would want me to honor Dime,” he said.
“To me, I’d look at it as it’s a PANTERA ‘celebration,’ is what it is, and all the mountains they conquered and all the greatness they achieved. And it would be me, if I’m playing guitar, honoring Dime’s greatness, ’cause I love him. To me, that’s what it is.
“To me, the way I look at it is, if Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding asked Eric Clapton if he would play and sing Jimi’s stuff, and Eric and Jimi were buddies, so, of course, Eric would do it. You know what I mean? ‘Cause what you’re doing is celebrating Jimi’s life and Jimi’s greatness. To me, it’s a PANTERA celebration and Saint Dime celebration of his awesomeness.”
