PANTERA. Rex Brown on the massive influence of Metallica on Pantera; when he and Dimebag Darrell played a half-dozen Metallica songs with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich in a tiny Texas bar; the night Metallica stuck Pantera with the strip club tab for both bands; the historic 1991 Monsters of Rock show in Moscow that united AC/DC, Metallica and Pantera at the twilight of the Soviet Union; fellowshipping with Hetfield and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains as all three of them journeyed into recovery from alcohol abuse; the ways classic Pantera albums intersected with Ride the Lightning and the Black Album; and more. Music: Rex Brown, "Buried Alive," from Smoke on This.
