• Slash Remembers Pantera's Dimebag Darrell, Brother Vinnie Paul Says He's Found Peace with Untimely Death [WATCH]

    December marks the unfortunate anniversary of the death of Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell. The legendary axeman, aka Darrell Abbott, was shot onstage in 2004 while performing with Damageplan.

  • 9-Month-Old Baby Drums Along to Pantera Song on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' Impressing Vinnie Paul [WATCH]

    Former Pantera and current HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul better be careful because there is a new drumming legend around. His name is Wyatt, he is 9 months old and he really kills it on a drum kit — with the help of his dad. A video of Wyatt playing along to Pantera's 1994 song "5 Minutes Alone" has gone viral, and Jimmy Kimmel liked what he saw, so he invited the young beatkeeper to perform on his show. The original video features Wyatt on a drum set made out of cups, cans and plastic lids. But for the "Can They Do It Live" segment of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the host got Wyatt some proper equipment and a backing band. The kid is surprisingly calm on live television, taking in all the sights and lights as he and his dad perform, Blabbermouth notes. "Are you worried about all the headbanging while he still has a soft spot?" Kimmel asks Wyatt's mom after the performance. "I make Papa take it easy on him," she replies.
