Skid Row:n Dave ”Snake” Sabo seisoo Panteran paluun takana: ”Minulle se on vuoden keikka”
Yhdysvaltalaisen raskasta rockia soittavan Skid Row:n kitaristi Dave ”Snake” Sabo on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen & Shane Mceachernille, jossa on hehkuttanut Panteran paluuta keikkalavoille ja kertonut seisovansa bändin päätöksen takana täysin. Sabo on haastattelussa todennut Panteran paluun keikkalavoille olevan täysin oikea päätös ja hän pitää keikkaa yhtenä vuoden parhaista keikoista koska siinä juhlistetaan yhtyeen ajatonta musiikkia. Sabo kertoi ajatuksiaan Panteran paluusta seuraavasti:
”My gosh, a thousand percent. And it’s not a reunion; it’s impossible for it to be a reunion. This is like a celebration, in my viewpoint, and I think theirs as well, ’cause I’ve spoken with them.
”Philip and Rex and Charlie and Zakk are friends of mine, and I’ve known those guys forever,” he continued. ”I first met Zakk at the music store in Toms River when he was 18 years old, so we have a history. And I played in ANTHRAX for a short period of time, filling in. And, obviously, Philip and Rex, PANTERA toured with [SKID ROW], and I manage DOWN. So there’s very close-knit friendships there.
”When they first started talking about it, they never viewed it as anything other than a celebration of the legacy of the band, a celebration of the Abbott brothers and a chance to put that in front of as many people as possible so people can get a chance to witness this music performed by some of the original members of the band in a setting that is a one-of-a-kind event, in my view. And I love it. I love it.
”Those guys are so invested in it too, and for all the right reasons. It came to a point where they decided, ’You know what? It’s 20-some years. And this music has a life of its own. It’s our music. Let’s go out, put a great band together and go out and perform it and remind everybody of this legacy and how great Vinnie and Dime were and still are, because their music lives on. I think it’s really special. And to me, that’s the show of the year — is PANTERA.”
