Here are a couple of those people who talked about the Pantera reunion. A fan named Werner Ressle said Pantera shouldn’t reunite without Dimebag and Vinnie.
“How should this go without a drummer and a guitar ??? These 2 (instruments and characters) are essential for the sound of Pantera,” he told via comment section. “This is like Stones without Mick and Keith.”

Jonathan said it should be a tribute tour.
“I love the idea, but this should be more of a ‘Tribute Tour’ rather than a Pantera Tour… R.I.P. Dime and Vinnie \m/,” he tweeted.

John Page said without Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell, Pantera will not be a Pantera, without disrespect for the announced line-up.
“Saw Pantera on the Vulgar Display of Power tour in Worcester, Massachusetts, then saw them on the Far Beyond Driven tour in Fitchburg, Mass. As much as I like Zack Wylde, and I love Charlie Benante, Pantera without Dime, and Vinnie isn’t Pantera,” John tweeted.
