In a current interview with Brazilian music journalist Igor Miranda, guitarist Zakk Wylde mentioned the potential future endeavors of Pantera’s present lineup. Addressing Charlie Benante‘s remarks about a possible live album, Wylde, emphasised a relaxed method: “Yeah, regardless of the fellas wanna do, we knock it out. Let’s be actual — it is a stay album each evening. Folks with their telephones and every thing are recording it anyway, so it does not matter to me. You go up there and also you play to win each evening.”
Clearly, the actual elephant within the room is the potential for this line-up writing new materials. Nevertheless, Wylde clarified that there have been no discussions about writing new songs. As a substitute, the main target stays on refining their stay performances and integrating new tracks into their units, such because the addition of “Floods” in current rehearsals.
“No, we’ve not sat and talked about, like, ‘Oh, guys, let’s get collectively and write songs,’ or whatnot; there hasn’t been something like that. I imply, the one discussions we’ll have are simply what different new songs we wanna put within the setlist. Like after we put ‘Floods’ in after which we obtained collectively at rehearsals, obtained collectively over at Phil‘s home, we simply rehearsed every thing. However no, nothing like… We have not been sitting round writing riffs and issues like that.”
When requested in regards to the nature of their collaboration and whether or not it resembles a tribute, Wylde provided a special perspective: “Yeah, that is what I really feel it’s. It is not even a tribute. It is extra only a Pantera celebration. Like every time we exit and do the ‘Expertise Hendrix‘ excursions, which I all the time have a blast once I do, it is all of us going out and celebrating Jimi’s greatness. To me, this can be a Pantera celebration. We’re celebrating all of the mountains that Pantera conquered. So that is what that is.”
Touching upon his method to enjoying the late Dimebag Darrell‘s guitar components – which he doesn’t reproduce word by word – Wylde expressed reverence for every guitarist’s distinctive tone, drawing a comparability with Randy Rhoads and expressing his admiration for Dime.
“Oh, yeah, even when Dime was up there enjoying the solo to ‘No Extra Tears’ or ‘Mama I am Coming Dwelling’, it is gonna sound like Dime enjoying the solo to ‘No Extra Tears’. ‘Trigger he has his contact and his feels. Like when Randy Rhoads was enjoying Black Sabbath songs, it appeared like Randy Rhoads enjoying Black Sabbath songs. You take heed to the Tribute album from Ozzy Osbourne, when Saint Rhoads was enjoying ‘Iron Man’ and he was enjoying ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Kids Of The Grave’, it appears like Randy enjoying Black Sabbath songs. It is Randy‘s guitar tone and Randy‘s contact and Randy‘s enjoying. However that is what makes it cool. Yeah, to me, it is simply widespread sense. Dime simply appears like Dime it doesn’t matter what he is enjoying.”
