Pantera is the only band I've ever been in, and at the start we used to play covers to make a living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
With Pantera, we lived through so many trend-of-the-day situations - when grunge was huge, we were still a heavy metal band; when hip-hop started getting incorporated into metal, we stuck to our guns and remained a heavy metal band very purposefully.
I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.
Most bands are commercial enterprises. But I'm not in one of those bands.
I've worked with a number of big bands, but there's nothing in life like the Basie band.
I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.
The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.
We played some gigs in Switzerland a couple of weeks ago and it was the first time I really felt the group was really a band in the sense of something I could write for.
I've been part of five different bands in my time.
I have such a great band. We had played all this material on the road. I just wanted to let it fly.
So I've had lots of different bands over the years who have stayed with me for certain tours.
