His drummer brother Vinnie Paul died of heart failure in 2018, but even before he passed there had already been talk of a Pantera reunion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Vinnie was still with us and there was talk of a reunion, I said \u2018Guys, if you need someone I\u2019ll do it,\u2019\u201d Wylde told writer Andrew Daly in an exclusive interview for the latest issue of Rock Candy Mag. \u201cI laid Dime to rest. He was my buddy. The way I view it is this. If Mitch Mitchell asked Eric Clapton if he\u2019d want to do a tour in honour of Jimi Hendrix, singing and playing his stuff, what do you think Clapton would say? Of course he\u2019d be into it. So I always told the guys, \u2018If you ever want to do it, I\u2019m here for you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Pantera returned to live action in December of 2022 when a new line-up featuring Anselmo, Brown, Wylde and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante played a bunch of South American festivals, and enthusiasm for the band\u2019s return was such that touring plans are now running into 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been buddies with all the guys,\u201d says Zakk. \u201cSo it was easy for me to do Pantera because I always said I would.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can read the exclusive Zakk Wylde interview in issue 47 of Rock Candy Mag, as well as in-depth stories and interviews with Bryan Adams, Grand Funk Railroad, Myles Kennedy, Quireboys, Vandenberg, Von Hertzen Brothers, and more.
