Summary

The CAC returns and this time it’s a Pantera battle! 1990’s “Cowboys From Hell” versus 1992’s “Vulgar Display of Power.” And joining the track-by-track analysis and trivia fun are Fozzy guitarist Rich Ward, drummer Grant Brooks, and tour manager Sam Abernathy. They talk album covers, production, songwriting and lyrics, and the importance of “Cowboys From Hell” in 90s heavy metal. They discuss Vinnie Paul’s hard-hitting drum style, Darrell “Dimebag” Abbott’s guitar skills, the understated bass playing of Rex Brown, and the evolution of frontman Phil Anselmo. They dig into the brothers’ musical chemistry, and what Vinnie and Dime might say about the resurrection of Pantera with Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante in the lineup.

Okay, so it's the return of the world famous classic album, Clash, and I've had this one

0:19.1

on the books for a while, talking of course about Pantera, Cowboys from Hell, versus Vonger,

0:23.7

display of power, and the returning rich word, notes word, the most organized classic album,

0:30.6

Clash contender, Grant Brooks, Storm Raphazzy, another Pantera disciple, and then Sam,

0:36.9

Abernathy, who we've had to switch some things around, because you're such a Pantera fan,

0:41.3

but I really wanted to get the four of us in here. We're sitting in Hotel Roman, Adelaide,

0:45.0

Australia, and it's very apropos because Pantera, the, what would you call it, said,

0:52.9

the reprise, the tribute, the new birth of Pantera, I guess, just to place last night in Mexico.

1:00.6

So first and foremost, Sam, what did you think when you first heard about this Pantera,

1:05.4

a rebirth, I guess you'd say?

1:07.8

1:42.2

of people that were like kind of the hardcore Pantera fans were initially against it, but you had a

1:47.4

great point, you never got to see them. Never. And my point was, I would, I said all the time,

1:52.5

a world with Pantera music in it is better than a world without Pantera music in it. And I'll
