I Don't Care At All About The

We, Pantera, Had The Greatest, The Most Intense, Dedicated Fans I've Ever Seen In My ******* Life. And I Really Hope With All My Heart That One Day, People - Especially Our Fans And My Friends - Can See Clearly Enough To Think For Themselves And Really Realize That I Have Nothing But Love For Them. I've Just Been Going Through Personal Hell Since December. Once Again, It's Very Hard To Talk About, Man. You Know, My Heart Is In A Thousand Pieces A Day.

I Am The Type That Cannot Stay Put In Living In The Past And Solely In The Past. It's Not Healthy And It Doesn't Feel Right.

I Tried To Take Heavy Metal... And Balled It Up And Chopped It In Half And Really Tried To Create A New Form Of Energy. I Really Tried To Re-shape Extreme Music As I See It Through My Eyes.

Pantera Revolutionized The Sound And The Approach To Heavy Metal. It's Been Regurgitated. Once You Up The Production On A Product And Not Just The Playing But The Actual Production, Then It's Going To Up The Ante.

To Do An Extreme Metal Record Is Something That Is Well Within My Capacity As A Musician To Write Stuff Out Of The Box, Write Stuff That's Probably More Extreme Than The Band I'm In At The Present Time, And It's Something That Needs To Come Out Of Me One Way Or Another.
