Pantera<\/a><\/strong> hasn’t played the UK since 2000 and Ireland since 1993. That’s about to change in February 25 thanks to five dates the band has lined up. Check ’em out below and get your tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2\/18 Glasgow, UK OVO Hydro And who knows \u2013 maybe we’ll have a live album, or even more by that point? The topic of new Pantera<\/a><\/strong> material has been up for debate lately, though it seems Metal Injection<\/em> readers are largely into the idea<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a recent interview with AndrewHaug.com<\/em>, Pantera<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>bassist Rex Brown<\/strong><\/strong> was asked if he’d be down to write new material with Pantera<\/a><\/strong>. He responded: “Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I could tell you more but I’m not going to.” Of course the implication there being that there’s more to say on the topic than Brown<\/strong> is willing to reveal. So who knows \u2013 maybe new Pantera<\/a><\/strong> is already in the works? That, or Brown<\/strong> is just having some fun with everyone.<\/p>\n Wylde<\/strong> had previously spoken on the same topic with Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk<\/em>, saying: “I think you would have to call [Pantera<\/a><\/strong>] something else [if new material were to be written]. You know what I mean? Pantera<\/a><\/strong> is those four guys. So, yeah, you can’t replace that.”<\/p>\n He added: “Yeah. If that was ever a bridge we crossed, we’d have to wait until we get there. But right now, it’s just the four of us celebrating what [the classic Pantera<\/a><\/strong>] created.”<\/p>\n Brown<\/strong> also touched on touring as Pantera<\/a><\/strong> without Dimebag<\/strong> and Vinnie Paul<\/strong>: “I call it Pantera<\/a><\/strong>. The show itself is a celebration of the lives of all four of us. Two are sadly not with us, and we cannot bring them back. God, do I want them back. But that’s just not possible.<\/p>\n “So we’re doing the best thing that we can to keep our music alive. And I think they’re smiling down and saying, ‘You guys are doing all right, man.’ And they’re with us. And I’m not shittin’ you.”<\/p>\n
