Zakk Wylde\u00a0has issued a stern warning to PANTERA<\/strong>\u00a0fans not to expect him to sound like Dimebag Darrell Abbott<\/strong> at the upcoming tribute shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo matter what I do, it\u2019s going to sound like me,\u201d the guitarist told Guitar World<\/em> <\/a>in a new interview. \u201cI can practice all I want and stay as faithful as I want, but I am never going to escape that. It\u2019s like if Randy Rhoads<\/a> were to play Eddie Van Halen<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Eruption\u2019: No matter what he did, it would sound like Randy playing, not Eddie. You\u2019re never going to mistake Randy for Eddie or Eddie for Randy, and it\u2019s the same thing here with me playing Dime\u2019s stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He\u00a0added, \u201cI’m gonna have fun with it, knowing that I am not expecting myself to sound like Dime<\/strong>, and no one else should either, which is how it is when I play with\u00a0Ozzy [Osbourne]\u00a0<\/a>or whatever else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s been some controversy surrounding the announcement that Pantera\u00a0members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown will reunite to celebrate the memory of bandmates Dimebag Darrell and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul, who died in 2004 and 2018, respectively. Wylde \u2013 a close friend of Dimebag and long linked with the idea of standing in for him \u2013 will\u00a0appear in South America next month<\/a>\u00a0alongside\u00a0Anthrax<\/a>\u00a0drummer Charlie Benante. More\u00a0dates will follow in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans will recall the dreadful 2016 Dimebash concert event<\/a> that saw Phil Anselmo use a white supremacist hand sign toward the crowd and yelled “White Power” that caused a huge controversy at the time, which was exactly at the same moment that the confederate flag usage by Anselmo and PANTERA came into question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
