Pantera

Saw the band at the Hell & Heaven Metal fest in 2022. First audience line at General and the sound was insane, super punchy bass while adding especific gain to Zakk Wylde´s lead guitar. Although the new artists replacing Dimebag and Vinnie Paul were great, there was no way Charlie Bennante could have the same stage presence and chemistry with the band. Philipp Anselmo is one of the best lead singers live though you can definitly tell he still is in pain from all the back problems back in the day and all the songs are taken a few tones lower. Zakks playing is incredible but there is deniftely a difference between him and Dimebag. Don´t expect to hear Dime´s solos or interpretations perfectly since Zakk brought his own thing. Cowboys from hell solo was a bit disappointing since it was a Wah fest and no reference to the original Solo, Walk´s solo was okay. Setlist started with a recording of regular people which hyped everyone but the track selection was not the most nostalgic since they only played a recoding of cemetery gates and floods. Shallow would have been also a great song to play at the nostalgic part of the show.
