Pantera fans did their best to put together a semi reunion as a tribute to Dimebag but when Dime's brother responded to their attempts that became the No 5 story in our top 11 rumors of 11 countdown. Here it is: (Rock AAA) Vinnie Paul has shot down rumors that Pantera could reform without his brother, late guitarist Darrell 'Dimebag' Abbott.
In an interview with Russia's Darkside, the current Hellyeah drummer – who was a founding member of Pantera alongside Dimebag – slammed the suggestions as 'disrespectful.'
He says: "It's ridiculous. Dime was such a huge part of it; it would be just completely asinine to even consider that. I think it's pretty disrespectful from people to even suggest it."
