  • Unreleased Song 'Whiskey Road' Surfaces from Late Pantera Guitarist [LISTEN]

    Guitar magazine "GuitarWorld" has unearthed a previously unreleased song by late Pantera/Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott titled "Whiskey Road", which you can check out below. According to "Rolling Stone," "Whiskey Road" was recorded back in 2001 as Pantera was finishing up their final U.S. tour, with Dimebag playing every instrument on the recording himself. The song has been pressed to a special vinyl flexi-disc by GuitarWorld as a part of their upcoming Dimebag tribute issue, and have even shared the song's guitar tabs. Although Dimebag's work with Pantera and Damageplan was pretty riff-heavy and brutal, "Whiskey Road" is more mellow and country-tinged, with acoustic guitar being the primary instrument, though Dimebag still makes room for some bluesy, distorted guitar solos.

  • 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.
