The surviving Pantera members reunited this summer, almost a decade after they first announced their departure in 2003. Zakk Wylde of the Black Label Society was confirmed to be playing guitar in the new version of the band back in July (previous guitarist Darrell “Dimebag” Abbott was killed). in 2004). Meanwhile, Anthrax’s Charlie Benante has been playing drums since Vinnie Abbott’s death in 2018.

Some fans were more critical of the reunion, considering it disrespectful to the two deceased members of the original group. Others didn’t want to support the band after Anselmo saluted the Nazis on stage in 2016 and shouted “white power.”
When a fan asked Benante what he thought about the negative reaction to the reunion, he told those who criticized him: “Don’t come.”
