With the PANTERA<\/strong> reunion\/tribute concerts kicking off, a lot of what happened negatively in the past between the band’s vocalist Philip H. Anselmo<\/strong> and the two deceased brothers who founded the band together in Arlington, Texas, Vinnie Paul Abbott<\/strong> and Dimebag Darrell Abbott<\/strong>, has now come back to the forefront, igniting a lot of hatred between the lingering PANTERA<\/strong> fanbase which is now divided and at each other’s throat<\/em>s, nearly two decades since Dime’s on-stage murder while performing with he and Vinnie’s new band project titled DAMAGEPLAN<\/strong>. You are either against Phil Anselmo<\/strong> or you are with him. The latter is a much smaller group than the one that is against Anselmo, at least within the state of Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It’s widely known that Vinnie Paul <\/strong>went to his grave hating Phil Anselmo’s guts. He blamed Anselmo for indirectly setting off the madman who went on the shooting spree that killed his brother Darrell on the evening of December 8, 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinnie adamantly did not want to ever reunite with Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown, and certainly was not looking to make money off his dead brother’s tragedy, which is what Anselmo and Brown are going to do now anyway, and this is where things get a little more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There was a notorious magazine interview that is said to have been the moment that potentially set off the gunman, a former United States Marine back in December of 2004, and the article was posted online on the very first day of the month, only one week away from when the tragedy happened. Anselmo spoke out against the Abbott brothers and how they were more to blame for the ugly 2003 breakup of PANTERA than he was, believe it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the same man who, during the same exact interview, brings up the idea of violence being used against Darrell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Now he and Rex “The Full Meal Deal” Brown stand to earn a lot of money with a PANTERA reunion, yet there has not been one mention of any of this money being donated to a charitable cause that was close to Dimebag’s heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What can fans expect? More acts of disrespect? Well, you don’t have to look too far back to the 2016 Dimebash event where Anselmo flashed a Hitler worshiping hand gesture <\/a>and yelled “White Power” to the horrified crowd who was there to celebrate the memory of the slain Dimebag Darrell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***UPDATED 9\/19\/2023: Pantera’s tribute lineup has been accused of using backing tracks<\/a>, including for main instrumentation (including guitar, drums and vocals.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
