Chuckled at this. You gotta have some killer chops to be able to call Zakk's playing sloppy

I love Zakk's chops, he has so much style to his bends and vibrato. Funny guy too, he was just on riffhard podcast talking about this.

This is good enough for me to be content with. I’m not that anal I’m going to gripe about “he alternate picked it instead of playing it legato! Fuck Zakk!”

I just hope he plays the solo on the right pickup. Otherwise, he's not maximizing his cash grabbing capabilities.

I'm pretty sure that he is playing unplugged over the album there. Or its just literally identical to the album

st. anger ain't bad!
Zakk wouldn't be the first professional guitarist to learn and practice an entire setlist of unknown stuff in a really short amount of time. Didn't Phill Demmel fill in with slayer at the very last minute? He had like two days to learn a whole setlist. These are professional guys, I don't think the issue with this "reunion" is gonna be Zakk's playing.

So the square brackets in the quote indicate something the editor added that Zakk didn’t say, usually to add “clarity” to a quote. I’d wager what he means is that just because he was one of Dime’s best friends doesn’t mean he’s super familiar with Pantera’s material.

I think my ears work very differently than yours do.

I think he filled in for a bunch of Lamb Of God dates as well.

"Celebration" of the ol cash grab is more like it.

Who cares? Pantera fans get to celebrate one of their favorite bands that they haven't been able to see since 2001 while the band members get to get paid while also caring for their friends/and or bandmates while honoring their music. Everybody wins.
Personally? Can't stand Pantera... but I'm happy for those who get to enjoy this.

Lol. No. Cemetery Gates is either going to sound like dog shit or Phil's going to lip sync. Not really anything to enjoy there.

I discovered this band name the other day and was INCREDIBLY disappointed to find out it wasn't just @STRHelvete taking the piss out of everyone

I'm so glad I saw them in 1999. It just wouldn't be the same without the Abbott brothers.

Short interview with Zakk where he talks about learning Pantera songs. I totally agree when he says "why would I know those songs". Being in a cover band I'm constantly asked "hey can you guys play :insert popular song name here:" and I more often than not say I don't know that song and people will sometimes be shocked I don't know every popular song ever written. Just because he was close friends with Dime doesn't mean they both sat down and taught each other their entire catalog of songs. But I really hope he learns the stuff as exact as possible. I'm a huge Dime fan and I would like to hear the solos/riffs like they are on the record and not with his Zakk Wylde seasoning sprinkled on all of it.

This is exactly what I thought he meant when he made the statement about “not knowing songs” a while back. A bunch of publications took that and ran with it to make sensationalist articles saying he wasn’t prepared etc, which of course is nonsense.
Say what you want about him but he’s a seasoned pro, and would do his best to do justice to what I’m sure he perceives as honouring his best friend.
