Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul “was never behind” the idea of the band reuniting, according to a new interview with his former Hellyeah cohort Chad Gray.
Paul co-founded Pantera in 1981 with his guitarist brother “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, their ranks eventually filled out by vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown. The band split in 2003, and Darrell died after being shot onstage in December 2004, aged 38.
