Watch fan-filmed footage of Pantera in soundcheck ahead of first ‘reunion’ show

Fans have captured footage of the reformed Pantera lineup soundchecking ahead of the first date on their ‘reunion’ tour.

The band are in Mexico for a performance at the Hell & Heaven Open Air festival tonight (December 2). They ran through a number of songs in soundcheck and videos can be viewed below featuring Cowboys From Hell and a snippet of Walk.

Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and Black Label Society’s Zakk Wylde join bassist Rex Brown and vocalist Phil Anselmo in the new-look Pantera lineup, who recently announced a series of live dates. Benante replaces the late Vinnie Paul, while Wylde will take on guitar duties in place of the late Dimebag Darrell.

Some fans have reacted negatively to the news that the shows are being billed as Pantera shows at all. That has not stopped Pantera from planning into the future. Earlier this week, they were confirmed as tour support for Metallica in 2023 and into 2024.

Benante said in an interview that he won’t rule out making new Pantera music with Wylde, Brown and Anselmo.
