At the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, during PANTERA‘s concert on February 24, a young fan resembling “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott took the stage to perform the iconic PANTERA hit “F**king Hostile.”
Before starting the song, PANTERA vocalist Philip Anselmo singled out a fan named Hunter in the audience, highlighting his unique hairstyle, saying: “Some people might believe in reincarnation and stuff like that. There could be a younger Dimebag right up front… Dude, just shake your head like that and everybody in the whole place will see it. Hey, turn up the lights here. Show ’em. Look at that guy.”
Anselmo added: “When I was first met Dime, his lid was exactly that length the first or second time we smoked a cigarette together. I couldn’t stop laughing man, his lid was cracking me up.
“You want to come up here and jam up here? Get up here!”
PANTERA, consisting of Phil Anselmo on vocals, Rex Brown on bass, Zakk Wylde on guitar, and Charlie Benante on drums, is set to headline major festivals in North America, South America, and Europe. Additionally, they will be performing their own headline concerts and supporting METALLICA on a massive stadium tour in 2024. This marks a significant moment for PANTERA fans, as it is the first time the band’s surviving members have come together for live performances in over two decades.
