Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Rest In Peace. Brothers reunited at least. :( For me, his drumming is the best part of Walk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Loved Pantera back in the day. He was a hell of a drummer on those albums. Seemed like a really good dude that just about everyone loved just like his brother. RIP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is truly sad. I like Pantera a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Sad indeed. I could be wrong, but I always had the impression that his career was never the same after his brother died, primarily because he didn't seem to be into it anymore. Hard to blame him if that was the case. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 These past few months have not been kind to drummers.... First Steve Coy, then D.J Fontana, and now Vinnie Paul :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure/Hopenosis Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Shows that life is too short to hold grudges. You just never know when. I truly wish he would've come to terms with the remaining members of Pantera to properly honor the musical legacy of his brother. Hope those two are reunited somewhere really special. Thanks for the music that helped direct some of my misguided, youthful anger... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 One of the most underrated drummers ever. Love that he once referred to The Professor as “God on drums.”Shows that life is too short to hold grudges. You just never know when. I truly wish he would've come to terms with the remaining members of Pantera to properly honor the musical legacy of his brother. Hope those two are reunited somewhere really special. Thanks for the music that helped direct some of my misguided, youthful anger... Same here but I side with Vinnie since Phil is an unhinged douchebag. Couldn’t blame Vinne. RIP and say hi to Dimebag for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is so sad. RIP, Vinnie. 54 is way too young. I like Entre Perpetuo's idea that at least the brothers are together again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The only details so far is that he died in his sleep. He did live rockstar life to the fullest. Perhaps his body had enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP and say hi to Dimebag for us.I agree, Phil went downhill after being prescribed prescription opioids for his back problem. That stuff is evil and proven very addictive. His attitude went to a "new level". I'm surprised he's still with us to be quite honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
