Why rex left down




















Vinnie was just an incredible drummer and I really miss the camaraderie of years past. It started coming through in some of my lyrics, and I had to step back a little bit.

I learned the first time with Dime, and it took me years in therapy to get the fuck over. When those tragedies hit, you just pull your boots up as much as you can and you go. Even this Kill Devil Hill thing, when Vinny left, it just took part of that chemistry that was so unique about what the band was doing and Johnny can play fucking anything, but you take that one little ingredient out and it changes every dynamic.

I was spent — burnt fucking out — with over plus years of being on the road. It was time to go home and reinvent again. I just keeping getting lucky in that. All of this intertwines. All of this is just a big circle, and it keeps you going. Same thing with Philip. I know you definitely have your solo material you want to get out there, but do you see yourself finding a way to maintain the Pantera legacy and maybe incorporating some of that past when you play?

That works for him perfectly because he was the singer on all of those songs and the most identifiable voice. But revolving around to your question, the legacy stands for itself. We get new fans daily. Kids are still wearing them. We did something right and we made a mark somewhere and it still stands the test of time and is something to be proud of. Thanks to Rex Brown for the interview.

Tickets are available here. Stay tuned for news on Brown's upcoming solo album as well as Kill Devil Hill's upcoming plans. Chad Childers Published: January 21, Is it still kind of in that bluesy, rock vibe of Smoke on This? Back To Top. The family tried their best to act like everything was fine, even though it wasn't. Daddy Bill received chemo and radiation therapy that left him feeling sick enough that he spent a lot of his time at the hospital, where Brown and his family would visit and sneak in his father's favorite meal: fried catfish and Budweiser.

Brown was all of seven years old when his father died from the disease. His mother had a hard time coping, but they pushed on. The bass guitar may have been destined to fall into Rex Brown's hands, but it wasn't the first instrument he ever picked up. Brown was featured on Loudwire's Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction video segment in to discuss the inaccuracies in his Wikipedia bio.

For those of you just joining cyberspace, Wikipedia isn't necessarily the most consistently reliable source of information. You could hop onto Brown's bio right now and write that he grew up under the care of flying monkeys on a spaghetti spaceship and no one would be the wiser.

Well, except Brown, of course. During the interview segment, Brown discusses why he decided to pick up the bass, telling Loudwire that were too many guitar players when he was a kid and there were "all these different chords. Because he "played tuba of all things. Tuba: Not exactly something you'd expect from a heavy metal bassist. Still pretty neat. Before the tuba, Brown's grandmother, who used to play for silent movies, had taught the musician to play the piano, and, according to his book Official Truth, Proof , he actually learned an entire line up of other instruments before the bass, including the drums.

The guy is basically a one-man-band. Brown has been known to have a bit of a drinking problem, something his former Pantera bandmates have complained about.
