During an interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF, current Pantera guitarist Zakk Wylde discussed the possibility of recording new music based on riffs from the late great Dimebag Darrell. He says it’s “all up to” vocalist Philip Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown.

Wylde said the following:
“Everyone’s always asking about something like that, but I always [compare it] almost kind of like if Eric Clapton was playing with [Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist] Noel Redding and [Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer] Mitch Mitchell, and if there was leftover material Jimi wrote that he didn’t record properly or whatever, and Eric is gonna play guitar on it and sing it. If it was this unfinished ‘Purple Haze’ song he had, or ‘Hey Joe’ or ‘The Wind Cries Mary’ or ‘Little Wing’ or something — he just recorded it on a tape recorder, so the song’s all there; it’s just that he didn’t record it. So I think there was thoughts of that, if there was leftover things and then we’ll just record ’em properly. But that’s all up to Philip and Rex. Me and [drummer] Charlie [Benante] are just there to support ’em in whatever the fellows wanna do.”
