I Finally Saw a Member of Pantera

I finally got to see a member of one of my favorite bands, Pantera, in 2012.

Vinnie Paul!!

Drummer of Hellyeah at this point.

I sadly never got to see Pantera.

They played in Huntington in 2001 but I stupidly did not go.  I’ll forever regret that (Pantera Guitarist Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie’s brother, was murdered in 2004.)

But I’m glad I got to see Vinnie drum for Hellyeah.

They kicked butt.

I’m typing this in 2023 and unfortunately, Vinnie is now gone too.

RIP Vinnie.  Forever missed.
