This picture was in my Revolver Magazine Spring 2023 Metallica Issue I ordered back in April. It made me so happy because I’ve never seen it before! Thought I’d share it along with an excerpt from the article interview with Lars 🤍

Interviewer (J. Bennett): Some of those shows [M72 tour] will be with Pantera. You’ve known them since they were playing clubs, before Philip Anselmo was even in the band, haven’t you?

Lars: We met the brothers [Dimebag and Vinnie Paul] on the Ride the Lightning tour and became friends with them. This was in Dallas in - what - 1622 or something? It was about 400 years ago. [Laughs] We obviously loved both of them, and they had a posse down there, and we would see them whenever we came through Texas. We watched the band evolve over the years from more rock vibes into that creative, unique force that they became. So we’ve had a relationship with them for decades and decades, yeah.

Friday, January 26: Pantera, "I'll Be Alright"

R.I.P. "Diamond/Dimebag" Darrell Lance Abbott (1966-2004), Vinnie Paul Abbott (1964-2018)

Metal Magic wasn’t very metal, and it certainly wasn’t magical, but considering that the Abbott brothers were still in their teens when their dad helped them make the first Pantera record, it had its moments.  The songs may not have all been there, but a handful of tracks like “I’ll Be Alright” showed an initial spark that would set the band on their way.  In the early days, Pantera was all about having fun, and this track reflected that with enthusiastic playing from every member, and if Terry Glaze’s screeching was always more than a little ridiculous, it also always felt like he was right there in the mix with the Abbotts and Rex “Rocker” Brown.  “I’ll Be Alright” was a no-frills early ‘80s Z-grade headbanger that sounded much more like a group of guys trying to get a party going than shooting for the stars, and that was fundamental to its charm.

TO ALL THE BANGERS, BEER DRINKERS, & HELL-RAISERS -- THIS ONE'S FOR YOU -- KANPAI!

PIC INFO: Spotlight on vocalist/lyricist Phil Anselmo of American groove/thrash metal band PANTERA, photographed in Japan during the band's "Vulgar Display of Power" Tour, c. summer '92. 📸: Joe Giron.

"In July of 1992 the band made their first trek to Japan for a headlining tour. There were dates in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Every show sold out and the fans were amazing. Traditionally, Japanese fans stay in their seats and show their appreciation by clapping, but Pantera’s infectious “power” metal had the crowds on their feet at every show.

To liven up the backstage hours before the band hit the stage, we did a bunch of portrait sessions using Japanese props and signage.

We also discovered Kirin and Asahi beer on this trip. The best part was that they sold small "pony" kegs in vending machines on the street. Any time we ventured out of our hotel, we’d load up to bring back to our rooms. One night, we were riding back to our hotel in a cab when we spied a beer vending machine at an intersection and attempted to hop out of the cab. Our cabbie thought we were skipping out on the fare and freaked, but we somehow convinced him to pull over so we could stock up."

-- JOE GIRON (PANTERA photographer on the band's exploits in Japan)

Friday, January 20: Pantera, “Hellbound”

R.I.P. “Diamond/Dimebag” Darrell Lance Abbott (1966-2004), Vinnie Paul Abbott (1964-2018)

The past 20 years, not to mention the controversy surrounding Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown reviving the brand without the Abbotts, managed to obscure the uncomfortable fact that Pantera ended on a down note: besides Anselmo’s antics being almost entirely responsible for the group’s dissolution, their final album and tour found the band exhausted and mostly running on fumes.  On the one hand, the relative leanness of Reinventing the Steel was welcome after the increasing bloat of the previous two records, but while “Hellbound” was a canonfire blast of an opener, it also betrayed Pantera’s continued lack of focus. Sure, Vinnie Paul’s drumming was as intense and powerful as ever, and there could only ever be one Dimebag Darrell, but as singular as their “power groove” was, here it was very clearly prioritized over actual songwriting, and that wasn’t helped by Anselmo phoning it in and seemingly nodding off mid-song. “Hellbound” felt like a really good idea that wasn’t fully seen through, so while it sounded killer as it played, one couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.
