Believe it or not, Zakk Wylde warned PANTERA fans not to expect him to sound like Dimebag Darrell Abbott <\/strong>at the band’s long-awaited tribute shows. Maybe this is why he did not release any play along videos to songs like “Becoming”, the classic Pantera song that is at the center of the “backing tracks” scandal. TMD’s article exposing the fakery by Wylde on the stage this past May reached millions of readers via FM rock radio station sites all across America, including Alice Cooper’s radio show site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was already an existing controversy surrounding the announcement that Pantera members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown were reuniting to celebrate the memory of deceased bandmates Dimebag Darrell<\/strong> and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul,<\/strong> who died in 2004 and 2018. It all stunk of a “cash grab”. Remember how they were all totally in a war of words with each other? In fact, the Abbott brothers totally distanced themselves from Anselmo for “hate speech” <\/a>the singer was using right up to moments before Dimebag was shot and killed on the stage by a supposed deranged (MK ULTRA) gunman. Nothing has ever changed, remember Anselmo shouting the racist “White Power” remark at Dimebash 2016 concert?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wylde \u2013 a close friend of Dimebag and long linked with the idea of standing in for him thanks to Rocket and TheMetalDen.com who first suggested it \u2013 is doing what 90% of the rock music industry does today, he is playing with backing tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An industry source has now tipped TMD off: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zakk Wylde is using “backing tracks” at PANTERA tribute shows because Dime’s parts are “too difficult”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
