UPDATE: Pantera have since denied the claims of a new live album, saying it was a “joke.”
Original Story:
It looks like Pantera’s current lineup, frontman Phil Anselmo, bassist Rex Brown, guitarist Zakk Wylde, and drummer Charlie Benante, recorded their August 15 show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN for an upcoming live album. The revelation came from the group’s opening act, comedian Craig Gass, who told the crowd the following:
“Announcement number one. The band you are seeing tonight is not called Cowboys From Hell. You are about to watch an exclusive show from the band Pantera. The rumors got out quickly, you guys bought up all the tickets. And you may have heard this rumor. And this is also true. We are recording our first-ever live album right here at the First Avenue. So, there’s a couple things you need to know about it. First of all, you will all, for eternity, be heard on a live Pantera album. That’s the good news. The bad news, you’re not gonna get paid for this. Welcome to the music business.”
