There have been several stories over the past year on the topic of Zakk Wylde filling in for the late Dimebag Darrell should Pantera ever decide to reunite for shows, but singer Phil Anselmo says comments he made to that effect were taken out of context.
Throughout the past year, the surviving members of Pantera have commented on the possibility of Zakk Wylde filling in for the late Dimebag Darrell if the band were ever to reunite. While it's all been speculation thus far, singer Phil Anselmo now reveals that he recently discussed the topic with Wylde himself.
Godsmack have always been vocal about how much of an influence Pantera had on their career and so it seemed only fitting that when the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival rolled into Pantera’s home state of Texas that the band would pay homage to them at some point during the night.
It's a special night when you can get members of Pantera, Slayer and Anthrax on a stage together, so for those who couldn't make the 'Metal Masters 4' clinic in New York, a video stream has surfaced online to bring you all the hard-hitting goodness.
Former Pantera singer Philip Anselmo has certainly lived a colorful life, and now it looks as though readers will get a chance to thumb through the details of his music, his friendships, and his addictions in all their glory as the vocalist just inked a book deal for his autobiography.

Former Pantera and current Down frontman Philip Anselmo doesn’t expect to release his solo debut album until next year, but he’s getting a jump on things by delivering a pair new songs.
Pantera are one of the very few bands whose power and influence has remained legendary for decades. As Pantera consistently remain one of the most discussed bands in metal history, the subject of a partial reunion comes up fairly regularly. However, the question remains — who would fill the spot of the late, great “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott?
May 11, 2012 Pantera and Down vocalist Phil Anselmo recently spoke with Tony LaBrie about Pantera's new-old song 'Piss,' what the band might be doing if Dimebag were still with us as well as a solo album he has in the works.
Just a week after the unreleased Pantera song ‘Piss’ hit radio stations, another unheard piece of the late Dimebag Darrell‘s legacy arrives in the form of ‘Twisted’ — a song the legendary guitarist wrote and recorded that is helping to launch a new line of Dimebag Darrell tribute skateboards.
