I’ll be seeing Metallica live at Levi’s Stadium tonight with 55,000 other people (stoked) and one of the openers will be heavy metal legends Pantera. The band’s current incarnation is unfortunately without the services of Dimebag Darrell after he was shot and killed onstage in 2004 by a mentally ill fan during a live show while playing for his offshoot band called Damageplan. This current iteration of the band still has lead singer Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, with Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde filling in on guitar and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante filling in on drums. It’ll be a helluva show that I’m stoked for– hearing the groove metal legends Pantera opening up for Metallica (alongside Suicidal Tendencies) is gonna be one for the ages.
Standout Songs: “Mouth for War”, “Walk”, “This Love”
