Zakk Wylde kertoo nauttivansa Panteran kanssa keikkailusta

Soolourastaan, Ozzy Osbournen yhtyeestä ja Black Label Societystä ja nykyiseltään myös Panterasta tunnettu kitaristi Zakk Wylde vieraili haastateltavana 107.7 The Bone -radiokanavan Nikki Blakkin ohjelmassa. Haastattelussa Wylde ei sanojaan säästellyt kuvailessa viime vuosien kokemuksiaan Panteran kanssa keikkailusta.

”Well, it’s all up to Phillip and Rex. It’s real easy-peasy. We just hang around, and if Rex is just, like, ’Hey, fellas, let’s just put this in the set’, or whatever, or Phil’s, like, ’Yo, let’s try this’, or whatever, then me and Charlie learn it and then we’ll put it in the set. So, that’s where it’s at. But it’s a great hang, because everybody in the crew and everybody out there, we’ve all known each other for years. Even with the crew people, it’s just, like, whether they’ve been out with Ozzy when I was rolling on the No More Tears tour, everybody knows everybody. So, it really is like a huge family vibe out on the thing. It’s a great time, for sure. And seeing so many people taking a trip down memory lane, the Pantera faithful that saw Pantera back when they were playing clubs in front of five people. So you have that, you have the Pantera faithful taking a trip down memory lane, and then you have all the new kids, which is amazing, ’cause Phil, every night, he’s just, like, ’How many people saw Pantera back in the day?’ And like I said, you have the Pantera faithful, and then when he goes, how many people this is their first time hearing these songs live. It really is mind-blowing, how many young kids, ’cause they never… When the band ended, when the guys took a break, they’d hear about the legend of Pantera, like the legend of Sabbath, and I never got a chance to see Sabbath, so when they got back together, it was just, like, ”Wow. Now I can go see him with Ozzy and Bill and Tony and Geezer”, back when they did Ozzfest. That was a huge, big deal for everybody that never got a chance to see it because you were too young. So, I think it’s a beautiful thing, and keeping Dime and Vinnie’s, what they created with Philip and Rex, this amazing thing. So, I think it’s a great thing. It’s beautiful.” Zakk Wylde

Wylde on aikaisemmin jo kertonut kantansa uudesta mahdollisesta Pantera musiikista.

Haastattelussa keskustellaan myös muun muassa Wylden mieleipiteestä Ozzy Osbournen Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ehdokkuudesta ja Wylden omasta soolouran seuraavista vaiheista. Voit katsoa koko taltioiduin haastattelun alta.
