It tells us a lot.

The 5.7-acre compound is definitely one-of-a-kind. Continue reading…

Formed by the brothers Vinnie Paul (Drums) and Dimebag Darrell (Guitar) back in 1981‚ Pantera achieved fame in 1990 with the release of the album "Cowboys From Hell"‚ which marked the band's classic line-up which also had Phil Anselmo (Vocals- Joined in 1986) and Rex Brown (Bass - Joined in 1982). They became one of the most promising Heavy Metal bands in the 90s but disbanded in 2003. One year later‚ Dimebag was brutally murdered at the age of 38 during a concert of Damageplan‚ band he created with his brother. After that‚ Vinnie Paul was asked multiple times over the decades about a possible Pantera reunion‚ which ultimately happened‚ but four years after he passed. In an interview with Jesea Lee‚ the singer Chad Gray‚ who was Vinnie's bandmate in Hellyeah‚ said that the late musician never wanted a Pantera reunion. He recalled that whenever he was questioned about it he would simply answer: "My brother is dead". Bandmate says Vinnie Paul never wanted a Pantera reunion “I know what it is‚ and I know some levels of the intention are true and pure. But I also know‚ from sitting in on a million fucking interviews with Vinnie Paul (...) There was always some clown interviewer setting himself up for failure. Being like: ‘So‚ what’s the deal with all the mutterings we’re hearing about the Pantera reunion?' Vinnie would literally go‚ ‘My brother’s dead.’” “That’s all he’d say and they wouldn’t say another fucking word. That’s the way Vinnie thought about it: Pantera was done because his brother was dead. When I hear that‚ and I hear how passionately he said that‚ and I know how much he meant it. He didn’t care! Vinnie didn’t need the fucking money. Vinnie’s whole heart was in Hellyeah‚” Chad Gray said. Since 2022 Pantera has been touring with a line-up featuring Phil Anselmo‚ Rex Brown‚ the Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and the Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde. Vinnie Paul passed away back on June 22‚ 2018 in Las Vegas‚ Nevada. He was 54 and died of a heart condition. Although the current reunion was blessed by the relatives from the brothers‚ Pantera never reunited when they were still alive. Outside Pantera‚ the brothers worked together on the only Damageplan album "New Found Power"‚ released in 2004. After his brother's assassination‚ Vinnie released five studio albums with Hellyeah and after his passing one posthumous record was released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTiX8rekItE&;pp=ygUecGFudGVyYSAyMDI0IGNvd2JveXMgZnJvbSBoZWxsThe post Bandmate says Vinnie Paul never wanted a Pantera reunion appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

One of the first heavier Rock and Roll bands formed by only women‚ The Runaways had several were together from 1975 to 1979 and released four successful studio albums. The classic line-up had Joan Jett (Guitar‚ vocals)‚ Lita Ford (Guitar)‚ Sandy West (Drums)‚ Cherie Currie (Vocals) and Jackie Fox (Bass)‚ and they had hits like "Cherry Bomb" and "Queens of Noise". Sadly‚ rock and roll music hasn't been diverse during its existence‚ as it has always been dominated by white men. Nowadays we have much more all-female groups but back in the 70s it was really something new and when The Runaways appeared‚ they really impressed a lot of people. But as Classic Rock reported‚ Joan Jett said in an interview that they weren't accepted right away by other groups. She recalled that Rush laughed at them while they were performing and Scorpions were not happy to see they were bigger than them in Germany. Joan Jett said that Rush laughed at The Runaways performance and Scorpions were mad about opening for them “One time‚ The Runaways opened for Rush‚ I think in Detroit. I remember those guys standing at the side of the stage laughing at us. And‚ you know‚ if I was Rush I wouldn’t be laughing at me. Then there was Molly Hatchet. The guys said: ‘I can’t believe we’re opening for a bitch.’ And then Scorpions were mad because they were a German band and we were bigger in Germany than they were. People just don’t want to see girls doing things they don’t think girls should do‚” Joan Jett said. In 1987‚ in an interview with Spin Magazine she had already recalled that night and said: "The assholes! They're assholes‚ and I don't care if you print that!" Her former bandmate Cherie Currie told CTV in 2010 that the story was true. She recalled that Rush and The Runaways were from the same record label and that the Canadian trio really didn't respect them. "They were sabotaging our equipment. Sabotaging our stage show. They were doing everything they could to stop us. But‚ we were unstoppable. The only thing that stopped us was ourselves‚" Cherie Currie said. What Geddy Lee said about Joan Jett's comments on Rush's behavior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBvXpjudf8&;pp=ygULY2hlcnJ5IGJvbWI%3D The Rush co-founder‚ bassist‚ keyboardist and vocalist Geddy Lee responded to Joan Jett's comments in an interview with Prog magazine in 2013. He said that they had nothing but respect for them and that they never treated them badly.  "The Runaways had a ginormous chip on their shoulders. I remember that show. We had trouble with our gear so our soundcheck got delayed and The Runaways never got one. But we were always good to whoever was opening for us." "We had no bias against them because they were girls - none of that bullshit. I know they said that we were laughing at them when they played‚ but quite frankly they were too shitty to listen to. And 40 years later they have a story to tell about it. Who knew?" Geddy Lee said. After the end of Runaways Joan Jett started her very successful solo career‚ which has countless hits. The band was still not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame‚ but Joan was already inducted as a solo act in 2015.The post Joan Jett said that Rush laughed at The Runaways performance appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
