Pantera Reunion: Zakk Wylde Interested in Playing Dimebag Darrell’s Parts (VIDEO)
Zakk Wylde has expressed his desire that if the members of Pantera ever think about getting on stage again, he could be the one who can take up guitar duties. Can he be one of the 'Cowboys from Hell?'
"It'd be up to Vinnie, Phil and Rex - they're the guys that make everything happen," Zack tells Artisan News.
"So if they were all gonna do it and honor Dimebag and [if they said to me], 'Zakk, would you wanna honor Dime and do Dime's parts?' Of course, I was a pallbearer for him - I laid him to rest - so, of course, I'd say, it would be a beautiful way to honor him and stuff like that. And to celebrate all things Pantera and what they achieved. 'Cause they changed the game, as far as extreme metal goes. I mean, they're the kings of it. But it's up to the fellows. Then it would just be me woodsheddin' 25-8, learning all of Dime's parts, you know what I mean?! Yeah, but like I said, as far as I'm concerned, it would just be honoring Dime.
But, we wonder if he can be next the Dimebag Darrell. Wait, no one on planet Earth can take his place in Pantera.

Anyway, moving on to Wylde's Black Label Society, they have started work on the 2010's "Order Of The Black."
"It'll have all the heavy riffs and other stuff everyone knows and loves," Wylde says to Billboard. "Order Of The Black was already three years ago, which is pretty insane. But the whole time we've been working, touring and stuff like that; it's not like we've been sitting around the house. It's crazy because back in the beginning of Black Label we were pumping out an album a year and constantly touring. But don't mind doing it this way, either," he continues.
Meanwhile, Black Label Society is ready to release a live acoustic re-imaginings and a few covers in an album titled "Unblackened."
