I’ve got nothing against it, but personally only would be buying a ticket to watch Dime playing. Nothing against Rex or even Phil, but I just can’t say “man, I wish I could see Rex play Pantera songs”…
It would be like Nick Mason doing a Floyd tour…. Cool dude, I’m sure good music, but unless it’s to see Gilmour on guitar, or Roger (for the lyrics et al,) it’s just like missing what made the band cool, at least to me.
Maybe to some people Phil was Pantera, they have no interest in the guitar parts, but to me Phil wasn’t the main attraction, tons of guys sounded just like him….
Dime though….. man, no one sounded like that and no one has since, he was one of a kind, and what made me love Pantera
So for me, no thanks, no more special to see Phil and Rex and Zakk etc do Pantera songs than when A7x does covers, just isn’t the same.
But hope anyone that goes to a gig enjoys it, just can’t see paying my money for it. I’d rather sit at home and watch some old videos with Dime playing
