Think you know the “official” story of Pantera’s end? Think again, because the mainstream media has been spoon-feeding you sanitized garbage for decades. Chris Akin and guest host Jon Drake (Gatlin/APG) go deep into the trenches to reveal the visceral history the industry tries to sweep under the rug. Why did Vinnie Paul refuse to forgive Phil Anselmo, and what were Dimebag’s final days really like? You’re about to find out why only THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW has the balls to look at the Pantera legacy without the corporate filter.
