When people talk about who was best for this tribute, Charlie is 100% hands down the best pick! He respects Vinnie's work all the way down to his thunderous drum sound. Hell yeah Charlie, so incredible! \m/
That's true. Vinnie typically played with tipless drumsticks. Charlie is playing with his sticks flipped around to emulate the sound. I can't wait to see them in a couple of weeks!
@@AstroEscape Yo homie. I love Pantera and Charlie too BUT all those drum sounds are 100% sample replaced. The kick is a sample. That why it's perfect sounding. No hate at all (except I didn't get this gig lol) that's the way it's done. You can see what looks like a black ddrum trigger on the tom tom right in front with a right angle 1/4" cable. Yo Charlie- Much love bro. Hear the drummer get WICKED!
He only uses the sample sound for the mixing desk operator and his own in ear monitors, the house speakers are mic'ed up to his bass , the venue gets full acoustic sound of his drums , I know this for a fact , I'm not hating I'm just clearing this up .
Dude. It’s Pantera. The live shows are a tribute to the Abbott brothers. Charlie is as good or better than Vin. Sorry. Charlie’s own style is far more technical than Vins.
@@aboutthemetal8783fyi he does use triggers. Roland to be exact. Has for years. The playing and sound is his. The triggers add some depth and reverb. That’s it. Look it up
I saw Anthrax last year and he was about 20 feet in front of me. I kept noticing that he kind of swings his upper body around almost like he's playing jazz. Very relaxed, just feeling the groove. I spent a good portion of the night watching him. He's a machine. So good.
Every night you do this, Dime and Vinnie are behind you smiling from ear to ear throwing back Black Tooth Grins. This is an act of pure love. Thank you, Charlie.
I still think you are the only possible person who could have played drums for this tour. Your playing is absolutely perfect and so close to Vinnie’s. And of course the personal connection you had with the Abbott brothers is a vital part of why it had to be you! I hope I get to see this lineup at least once before it’s over.
I love the sound the snare!!! It sounds so good with your kick drum!!! Plus rex's bass sounds good too!!! Happy Birthday Philip and could you Imagine Philip saying "This one's called Domination" and they played the whole song! Can't wait for the Lamb of God / Pantera shows this summer!!!
This is an amazing performance by all 4 of them! And the sound quality is even especially good. I love how clear you also hear Rex's bass the entire time. 🤘
Hola Charlie! You are the reason I started playing drums! That's thirty-three years ago! Now my daughter is walking the same path. And she's already better than me when I was at her age!! Keep on man!! You're still an inspiration!🤘🤘🤘
Since the first show from the new formation of Pantera, i knew you where the right choice! amazing vid Charlie! Thanks for helping to bring Pantera alive again!!!!
I think with the monitor being so well audible in this clip it might be the best quality audio from a new show we heard this far. Totally speaks for everyone in the band. I have never heard them sound this good. And I was at a concert!!
Dom/Hollow sounds amazing, Zakk not quite in the pocket on Cowboys but I think there was always going to be a question how well he was going to pull off the rhythm parts….this kinda harder-edged/faster metal is just not his forte. And yeah, good to finally hear some soundboard! Overall they sound great
Charlie, you need to release that t shirt to the public I love it and want one!!! Thank you for doing Vinnie's sound and timing justice you are just killing it keep up the amazing work.
I’ve been in the Knot Fest in Brazil in late 2022, and it was one hell of a concert, all four members are doing such a great job paying tribute to the Abbott’s brothers, specially Charlie, for playing note for note of Vinnie’s parts. Amazing Charlie Benante, cheers
What i have seen and noticed in previous video's from this tribute tour is the great drumming and hart and soul Charlie puts in it👌🏻🥁. I witnessed it myself on June 20th 2023 in AFAS Live in Amsterdam. Just briljant. Goosebumps all over...hail Charlie! Horns and fists up for keeping this music alive and kicking🤘🏻✊🏻
It blows my mind how any musician can play music in sync with other players lol i know that was random but i love how charlie plays vinnies parts part for part INSANE!
Just saw them at Sofi today. Never got to see PANTERA. I know its not the real one and it will never be. But goddamn did they sound good. Charlie and Zakk really play those songs to the T. Phil and Rex still got it. Charlie, thank you so much for learning and playing these songs in the style of Vinnie. Again, Ive never seen these songs ever played and what a treat it was to hear them. We love and appreciate you.
Love this. So much respect for what he’s done for pantera. This dude and the dude from gojira might be the only who could sit in the pocket where Charlie does. The push and pull of his drumming feels so good
I'm am so blessed to have been to one of your shows in Germany. It has been a rather religious experience for me. Thanks for everyone involved to make this show this amazing. 11/10 !!! Fuck all the haters - i've got nothing but love for you guys!
I just saw the episode of Married With Children that Anthrax guest starred in and I just gotta say that was hilarious. When you called Marci a sir 😂 Keep on rockin' bro 🤘
best thrash drummer of all time.... not just a good choice... the ONLY choice to take part in this tribute tour... Pantera's music needed to be heard on stages around the World again... Charlie and Zakk were the only 2 who could do it (Honorable mention to Ola who could have stepped up if Zakk wasn't able.)
Seen Charlie play live a bunch of times always consistent and solid. I love anthrax and love pantera. It is a solid pick to honour pantera and VP 🤘 People will continue to hate on the pantera tour. Of course, it won't be the same, but there is no better tribute to legacy than the current live setup. Enjoy it
Charlie,dude,your a beast behind the kit man,been listening to you play for years. Vin & dime are smiling their black tooth grin. You guys are killing it man.
