In our July issue, we take you deep inside Pantera’s world tour, a tour that finds Black Label Society’s Zakk Wylde filling in for his friend, the late, great Dimebag Darrell, who left us nearly 20 years ago.
In two exclusive, in-depth interviews – one by Jon Wiederhorn and one by Nick Bowcott, who worked with both Zakk and Dime on their respective Guitar World columns back in the day – Zakk explains how he learned Dime’s guitar parts, the gear he’s using on the tour and the deep emotional aspect of the whole shebang.
We also chat with Zakk’s guitar tech (Stephen Murillo) and Dime’s guitar tech (Grady Champion), who – as a part of the current tour – definitely adds a ton of six-string cred to the Zakk/Pantera proceedings.
On top of all that, we chat with Ola Englund, the guitarist whose YouTube videos Zakk watched to help him nail some of Dime’s solos, we reprint some of our late-2002 interview with Zakk and Dime, and we transcribe Pantera’s mighty Mouth for War.
