Here's an interesting development. In a recent interview with Metal Blast, Vinnie Paul stated there's no bad blood between himself, Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown. This is the same Vinnie Paul who has constantly denied a Pantera reunion. He was not interested, it would never happen, and "Dime was Pantera." So how could there be no bad blood? Well, here's what he actually said:
"To me, there's no bad blood at all. It's like when you get a divorce from somebody, there's a reason why you got a divorce. You don't have to stay in touch with that person, you don't have to fucking see that person, or do anything with them. I'm just not interested."
That's very zen of Paul to say. While Phil Anselmo is constantly hoping to make peace with Paul, this might be as close as we are ever going to get. Paul is basically saying he wishes no ill will to the guys, but he's just not interested in hanging out with them anymore. I can completely understand that and ultimately, respect his decision.
