Pantera Can't Fill Dimebag's Shoes With Zakk Wylde Says Anselmo

(TeamRock Radio) Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo has explained his concerns over staging a reunion with former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde in place of the late Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

The move has been discussed for several years, with Wylde having said he'd take the role if it was offered to him. Speaking at a fan question-and-answer session last month, Anselmo said: "Zakk is such a badass f***ing player, but I think he's just a different player. Different style.

"Tonality comes into it. He has a different tone than Dime. So there would be so many things to tweak, not to fill Dimebag's shoes, but actually play Pantera parts. There ain't no filling them f***ing shoes." Read more here.
