I love the sound of just bass and drums under dime's solos. There is no need for another guitar in there when Rex provides that driving force to keep everything locked in and tight while Dime shreds it up on top.

Rex is one of the very few hard rockers who survived being a super star. Though he wasn't without significant alcohol and drug damage, he does go on to talk about in his book how in the final days of pantera the tensions were so high and the band was so drained with eachother that they were touring on separate buses. One can't help but wonder what MUSIC would be like if these men were still all together. Criminally underrated bass player who do his part in the best hard rock band in history.

A great bass player is always required if you want to be a killer trio. They not only have to keep the groove going during the guitar solo, but also fill in the empty space and keep the bottom end thump going. Rex does all of that and more! Great player.

Darren Middaugh Exactly. No Dime equals no Pantera. When those assholes in the press keep dredging up the notion of the surviving members reuniting with Zakk Wylde on guitar, I don't know whether to laugh, be pissed off, or be disgusted that they would entertain the idea of shitting on Dime's legacy that way. Pantera ended for good when Dime died, so they should give it a rest and move on.
