VINNIE PAUL Doesn't Rule Out REBEL MEETS REBEL Tour - Apr. 3, 2006
Former PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul recently spoke to MTV.com about the upcoming debut album from REBEL MEETS REBEL — a collection of a dozen tracks of countrified metal featuring controversial country singer David Allan Coe and the guitar prowess of Paul's late brother, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.

"It's something that me and Dime really wanted to do a long time ago, but we were so busy with everything, we never could," Paul explained. "When Atlantic (PANTERA's label) passed on the REBEL MEETS REBEL record because they didn't know what to do with it, I was like, 'I'm not gonna go shop this. This just fell right in my lap, and it's time for me to start this record label that I've been thinking about and, you know, put it all together.'

"It is a lot of work, trust me," he continued. "Getting on a tour bus and riding around the United States and playing for an hour and a half a night is a lot easier than this stuff. But it's fun to be able to learn both sides of the business."

"His guitar playing on this record is incredible," Paul continued. "The cool thing about this record is, a lot of times when you're making metal, everything operates kind of like a machine. It's like chung, chung, chung — it's just power. And with this kind of record, it has a ROLLING STONES vibe. Everybody can kind of cut loose, play what they want, and all the people really interact instead of it all kind of being one big gigantic tank moving in one direction.

"So [there was] a lot of freedom involved in making this record," Paul said. "And it gave me something to look forward to and to live for because I've never done anything without Dime. ... It's been a long road for me to get to this point where I feel I can move on in my life. And that's what I'm doing, man."

Even without Dime around to play guitar, Paul said there's a chance REBEL MEETS REBEL could tour — so long as he can tap someone gifted enough to tackle the riffs. "I have a couple of people in mind that were really close to Dime and would be perfect for it," he said. "But we're just going to put out the record first and see how that goes. And then if the fan response was really, really good, I think it'd be fun to go play those songs live because they'd be killer songs live."

Guarantee that one of them is Zakk Wylde. Maybe the other is Kerry King?

for Vinnie to really do something beyond cool.

Find some unknown hotshot whose been shredding away in some dive or garage that deserves a chance at the bigtime ala Dime or Rhoads. Even though Zakk is a close friend and could probably handle the gig, it would be big shoes to fill but would be great if Vin went this direction.

Vin, if you read this, give it some thought my friend.

Can't wait to hear RMR and see DimeVision. I have a box of tissue ready for the crying.

Ever heard of Pride and Glory, ektaliptka (zakk's old band)? They were pretty country, yet still had a few pinch harmonics in it, and that sounded woked.

He's a terrible songwriter but playing other's songs should be a breeze for him. The guy can play. Too bad he's a dolt who couldnt write a good song if his life depended on it.

The only people I could see Vinnie choosing would be either Zakk Wylde or Jerry Cantrell. Both of their styles fit the Rebel Meets Rebel music pretty well.

"so long as he can tap someone gifted enough to tackle the riffs".....Now that's gonna be hard. Dime was unique in everything he did. Extremely talented. With all the crap bands ppl throw around here that in their minds are real METAl is pathetic. I won't name names......but I will think out loud....maiden..oops. Half these putos wouldn't know a good metal band if it slapped the piss outta em'. Whether that be a old or new (yeah motherf**ker I said it) band of today.

Also, I can't believe some of you are accusing Vinnie of cashing in on Dime's death. What kind of sick people are you? He was his BROTHER! He just wants Dimes music to be heard... and he knows the fans want that. It's not to make money, it's to ensure that Dime's music is a continued influence on us all.

Damn when i read that headline i thought they were talking about Vinnie Paul and Jake E. Lee

What they should do is have the REAL ROCK AND ROLL REBEL

JAKE E. FRIGGIN LEE Show all these posers what's up.

Jake E. Lee is the OG Rock and Roll Rebel and could and you know it.

Jake E. Lee ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN OWNS ZAKKS ASS.

They should have a Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde rebel vs rebel show and watch Jake just leave Zakk scratching his head in disbelief at what he had just witnessed on guitar as Jake hands Zakk's own ass to him.

Now wont that be kind of hard to do since Rex is back in Down and what not?

I say, get Cantrell or Jake E. Lee to do it. And All Keys is right, if you know anything about guitar or theory Jake can defantly out play Zakk. Then again, Jake doesn't know Vinnie Paul.

All these new school posers who don't know any better , all they know is Zakk Wylde.

There's a reason why Jake E. Lee can play the entire Ozzy catalog in his sleep Randy Rhoads era, Jake Era and Zakk era.
There's also a reason that since Jake E. Lee left, Ozzy doesn't play the "Jake songs" -that's because the only one that can play them is Jake.

Jake was the best player Ozzy ever did or will have.
I'll be daring and say that those two albums had the most crazy squirelly leads that Ozzy's music has ever seen.

They made Randy look textbook, guys like Lynch, Vai, and Satriani seem machine like, stale and boring.

Dudes like Jake E. Lee , Vito Bratta, and Andy LaRocque cannot be copied or duplicated because they have their own sound and pour so much of their soul into their playing.

On the other hand, Zakk is easily duplicateable by anyone with a few years of guitar lessons and a call to Musicians Friend.

4/3/2006 4:59:41 PM

suck it dude you know i'm right.

Yeah show me how many Andy LaRocque clones there are or Jake E. Lee clones there are ...................NONE!!!!!!

Why????? Cause no one can do it!!!

But there's a million Zakk wannabe's out there with their Musicians Friend Les Paul chugging away the same tired riff with pinch harmonics

______________________________________________________

Zakk even played a banjo on "Losin Your Mind"

You people have no idea what Zakk can play...not only can he play the Jake E. OZZY songs, he can also play the Badlands catalog...he can also play all the Allmond Bros. songs & Skynard, Willie Nelson, EVH (Vito Bratta, same thing), and just about anyone else you named, on top of that he has is own style... which is why he's one of the most influiential guitarists in music.

Zakk Wylde is a better guitarist than YOU!!! Might as well accept it.

Until you see What Zakk can play your just talkin ignorance, get a clue fucknuts......

I do hope the Rebel meets Rebel tour happens, Im one racist, redneck, inbread, cousin fuckin son of a bitch who wont miss it!

BLS fans are so goofy with their "chapter" this and that LOL

BWAHAHAHA LOL

Chapter- so goofy. Zakk Wylde is a wannabe biker and those of you that think BLS is "southern swamp rock" you need to listen to Badlands, which is way more swampy than goofy BLS and Zakk and more akin with Real Swamp rock ala Captain Beyond and Mahogany Rush.

BLS is pretty weak.

It is the ultimate fanboy claim ever. Kinda Lame seeing is all you have to do to belong is spend your money on the band. instant "family" member complete with bikerlike patch. Hardass attitude not included.

Thank god I have a family and dont have to resort to finding family in a band fanclub.

Ask James Lomenzo how far being family got him.
