Hi guys, I just wanted to make this quick little video
To talk a little bit about the passing of
Vinnie Paul
legendary drummer of Pantera and hell, yeah damage plan and
I've already recorded a snippet talking about this for my FAQ that we that I will release tomorrow
but then now when I'm sitting here editing the FAQ, it's like I
Think I want to make a separate video talking about Vinnie Paul's passing
It's just that you know, my FAQ so kinda humorous and yeah, they're edited in a way
I just don't want to mix him up. You know with the
talking of
his passing and I want to talk a little bit because it's
Yeah, yeah. So when I heard about Vinnies passing just like many of you guys
You know the same type of feelings that came up when I heard about dimebag's Passing
kind of you know came back. It definitely like felt the same like the same type of shock
in that sense and it's it was it's a devastating blow for
all of us all the lovers of Pantera
I mean to the extent that you know these two brothers have
affected me, inspired me,
you know they basically formed my
musical taste
and you know my my guitar playing and like my tastes in riffs and tastes in writing
I mean it's it's so like thinking back of it. It's so weird. How big part
of my life
Has been so inspired by Dimebag and Vinnie Paul and Pantera.
It's the more you think about it the more big it gets and it's
It's such a weird thing to say that these two people that you know, never knew me
And I never knew them, but they have affected me in such a way and affect a lot of people
out there with their music and their playing and you know
They were
They are still Pantera is probably still even 20 years after the band disbanded
Are still like one of the most
modern
aggressive metal bands out there and
Pantera's one of those bands that are still relevant today
And it's it just goes to show how
You know how how awesome Pantera were and you know the riffs and the drums, you know, the it the grooves
There's not a lot of bands that came match up with Pantera to be honest. In my case there are no bands
in my opinion and
Yeah, it's just like ah just thinking of like the
You know think right now it's like it you just hit me like his their parents
You know out living their children
That's just terrible. It's like that's probably a parent's worst nightmare right there
You know to outlive your children
It's it's just terrible
You know, I don't know what to say. I mean this is just
Me at the hotel room early morning. That's why I look like shit because I haven't slept and it's
Yeah
but you know what at the same time when I was shocked I was also kind of
Kind of like a relief or
It's hard to say it without making it sound weird. But you know, it's kind of calming to know
That dime bag and Vinnie Paul is you know in some sense back together
You know
Because that's the way it was supposed to be there will always like this tight team. They were supposed to be together
so it's definitely a little bit, you know, makes it a little bit easier and
Yeah
Shit. Yeah, I don't know What to say, I don't know what I want to do with this video
This is just like maybe I just maybe I just won't upload it. It's just maybe a little bit too honest
I think what's important here is that you know
it's up to us, you know you and me to
Keep their legacy going, you know force people to start listening to Pantera
I mean the younger kids need to listen to Pantera to understand like
You know, they've influenced so many bands out there and it's you know
For me Pantera has always been number one, and I know it has been for a lot of people
so this is such a devastating blow to all of us and
you know
I will keep on making my covers, you know, and I'm not making my covers for you know for views or whatever
I love doing covers of Pantera because it's my way of paying tribute to the band and you know, I you know, it's like
Pantera's number one man, and you know Dimebag number one player and Vinnie Paul
number one drummer for me and it's
Yeah, it's gonna stay that way until I die that that's something I know, you know there have been such a huge
influence on me and
Yeah, it's up to us to keep on spreading the word about Pantera. I mean they're still going strong
I think the legacy of Dimebag and Vinnie will stay strong for a long long time. There are
legendary for sure, so
But we still need to push their music, you know
Get new people to listen to him and just keep on playing Pantera and listen to Pantera to honor
their lives and what they did for us, so
yeah
Guess what? That's what I wanted to say in the end there
So I'm not sure you're still with me after all this rambling, but guys, thank you so much for watching getcha pull
Okay rest in peace
Vinnie Paul and dimebag
You did it good man. You did it for real.
Think you guys were probably the last real rock stars in the sense. Yeah. All right. See you
