Extreme Steel Tour – Pantera, Slayer, Static-X, Skrape, Morbid Angel – June 21st, 2001 – Uniondale, NY @ Nassau Coliseum

Read the review in it’s entirety on blistering.com here .

“Thankfully I have most of Pantera’s discography so I was able to appreciate their set. Perhaps because this is their third tour in support of Reinventing the Steel they only played two songs off of the newest release – “Goddamn Electric” and “Revolution Is My Name.” In front of a huge steel wall of amps and speakers, they played such classics as “Mouths of War,” “Becoming,” “5 Minutes Alone” and “I’m Broken.” Phil, who I heard was much more coherent than he was at the three shows at Hammerstein, took time to talk between most every song in the set. Mentioning those shows, and the turnout this night, he thanked New York for all of the support that the fans have always given the band. He also said that this would be the last time, for a long time, that Pantera would be coming around. After three tours they are going to take some time off. While a friend of mine thought it sounded like a good-bye, perhaps forever, the love that was shown the band by the packed house has got to be enough to keep them together and bring them back. The fans were going nuts screaming along, head banging and moshing throughout the set. Later on, Phil took a time out to thank all of the New York bands that they are friendly with, including Type O Negative, Anthrax and Biohazard. I mention that because both Scott Ian of Anthrax and Evan from Biohazard came up and did guest vocals with the band.

As per usual, Pantera wrapped things up with “Walk,” sending the crowd into a frenzy of singing along and head banging. Dimebag proved yet again that he is one of, if not the, best heavy metal guitarists ever by hitting into every riff hard and accurately, even adding some improvisational notes from time to time. He literally threw out boxes of picks after they finished, giving the now half-deaf hardcore fans up front cool mementoes to go along with the inevitable ringing in their ears.

If my idiot friend is eventually proven right, which I sincerely hope he isn’t, and this was Pantera’s last New York show ever, then the Texas metal gods went out with a bang.

Flashback: Pantera Play Their Final Concert

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

Pantera were in pretty rough shape by the time their Extreme Steel tour touched down at the Beast Feast in Yokohama, Japan on August 26th, 2001. They’d spent the past couple of months on the road with Slayer, Static-X, Skrape and Morbid Angel and were playing to huge crowds, but long-simmering internal tensions and addiction issues were starting boil over.

“The tour seemed to go on forever,” bassist Rex Brown wrote in his memoir, Official Truth, 101 Proof . “The financial offers were great, but because we felt like we were in a marriage that was going south, that just didn’t matter anymore. Something had to give sooner rather than later.”

Frontman Phil Anselmo had been suffering from degenerative disc disease for years, and he self-medicated with a steady diet of booze, painkillers and even heroin. “I suppose the writing was on the wall as early as pre-production for the tour,” Brown wrote. “Phil was out of his mind a lot of the time and there were moments in rehearsal where [guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott] and I would look at each other and say, ‘Dude, he’s singing a different song than we’re playing.'” 

Anselmo mostly pulled it together for the shows, but he was barely on speaking terms with his bandmates by the time they reached Japan. Pantera played a fierce 11-song set at the festival and were joined by Slayer’s Kerry King on “Fucking Hostile” and Biohazard’s Evan Seinfeld for the grand finale of “Walk” off Vulgar Display of Power.” Here’s video of “5 Minutes Alone” from the final gig that Pantera ever played together.

They flew to Europe to continue the tour in mid-September, and were in Dublin when the planes hit the World Trade Center. The tour was canceled before they did a single European show and the band went on indefinite hiatus until a deranged fan killed Dimebag in 2004, ending the group forever. 

Despite regular Internet rumors about a reformation with Zakk Wylde on guitar, a Pantera reunion seems unlikely. “It’d be great for us to sit in a room and figure out if we ever want to do that again,” Brown told MTV earlier this year “But I don’t really think there’ll ever be another Pantera without Dime in it. So, it’s a very complicated story. At the same time, it’d be nice to maybe play a couple shows and have a bunch of guest stars. But as far as reunion, there’s no reunion, man. Dime’s dead.”

Extreme Steel – 7/19/01 – Show Review

Morbid Angel, Skrape, Static-X, Slayer… and PanFUCKINGtera.

And then there were the bands. Oh yes. The metal-beyond-metal experience of the Summer came in the form of a dream line-up that served up large portions of head banging, hair flying, eardrum shredding, explosions of volume. And who were our beloved hosts? Please. Allow me to describe them to you.

You see, towards the end of Skrape’s set, some genius decided to start tossing strips of live firecrackers at security who were in the photo pit in front of the stage – but it was obvious that his targets were the members of Skrape. Eventually, some of them did land on the stage, and during the end of the very last song, a package of them snapped, smoked and flashed under the drummer’s foot lying there like a tiny, smoking strobe light until they finally died out a few moments after the lights went down, ending the set with a literal bang. Nevertheless, Skrape’s material was intriguing enough to encourage me to make a CD purchase after the concert.

After much anticipation, the members of Slayer appeared on the stage. This is what everyone in the house was there to witness, and take part in. Chants of the “ Slay-ER! SLay-ER! SLay-ER! ” could be heard throughout the arena (probably out into the street, as well!) for most of the night anyway, so there was no mistaking why everyone was there. Slayer fans are not well known for being shy about what they want, and Slayer were there to give it to them.

The air of the arena literally felt dangerous. You could smell the adrenaline, the blood coursing through the veins of the band members and their loyal followers who were busy tearing themselves apart while Slayer did what they do best. This was the real deal. And then, as if it weren’t enough, out came the fireworks again. Between set warnings against the use of the fireworks from an announcement over the venue sound system proved futile, because the Roman candles and firecrackers continued to be secretly lit and fired in all directions, landing frighteningly close to the bare skin and unsuspecting faces of the concertgoers, and disappearing under the feverish stomping in the pits below.

Nothing was stopping the mayhem that continued. Nothing was stopping Slayer from belting it out. Finally, the culprit was caught and removed from the show by a few sharp-eyed security people. Too bad for him. I’d hate to be the dumb ass that missed most of Slayer who completely obliterated the arena. And how lame would you feel sitting outside with your head in your hands while Pantera blasted through the walls in side? Hah. L-O-S-E-R.

After Slayer’s knock down, drag out set, it was time to bear witness to another one of Pantera’s megawatt performances. Slayer’s set was a hard act to follow (literally), and Pantera comparatively came out a bit on the slow side, but never fear; just two songs into the set and they were right back on top again. Phil and the boys came at us like madmen, rocking their way through that tried and true Southern-style metal groove that has made Pantera one of the biggest, hardest hitting, most admired, heavy metal bands on the planet.

The set was filled with high voltage Pantera classics that thrashed and scorched and sped their way through you then brought you up to date with flawlessly performed tracks from their latest “ Reinventing the Steel “. They were amazing, as always. True metal fans love Pantera, and god dammit, they love their fans.

This, my friends, was a REAL heavy metal show. If you love heavy music, and for whatever reason you weren’t there, I send you my regrets. But please remind me to properly kick you in the ass for missing it if you see me out in the clubs.

Very special thanks to Carey at AGM for pulling the proper strings, and for injecting the m/etal into our Summer.

20 Years Ago: Pantera Unknowingly Play Their Final Concert

It was clear Pantera 's days were numbered long before they played their final concert on Aug. 26, 2001, in Yokohama, Japan, bringing one of metal's most explosive sagas to an unceremonious end.

The Texas metal quartet had spent the prior two months storming arenas across North America with Slayer , Static-X, Skrape and Morbid Angel in support of its latest album, Reinventing the Steel , released in March 2000. The album debuted at a respectable No. 4 on the Billboard 200 but petered out at gold status, becoming Pantera's first major-label release (starting with 1990's Cowboys From Hell ) to fall short of a platinum certification. But the relative underperformance of  Reinventing the Steel  paled in comparison to the exhaustion and dysfunction plaguing Pantera.

"The tour seemed to go on forever," bassist Rex Brown wrote in his 2013 memoir,  Official Truth, 101 Proof . "The financial offers were great, but because we felt like we were in a marriage that was going south, that just didn’t matter anymore. Something had to give sooner rather than later."

Brown pinned much of the blame on singer  Phil Anselmo , whose drug use had escalated precipitously. Anselmo had suffered from degenerative disc disease for years, and rather than break for surgery, he continued to numb the pain with booze, pills and heroin, even suffering a near-fatal heroin overdose in 1996.

"I suppose the writing was on the wall as early as preproduction for the tour," Brown recalled. "Phil was out of his mind a lot of the time, and there were moments in rehearsal where [guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott ] and I would look at each other and say, 'Dude, he’s singing a different song than we’re playing.'"

Despite the excess and band infighting, Pantera made it to Yokohama for the Beast Feast festival, sharing a bill with Slayer, Sepultura, Machine Head, Static-X, Biohazard and several other bands. They soldiered through an 11-song set that included classics such as "Cowboys From Hell," "Mouth for War," "5 Minutes Alone" and "Walk." Slayer's Kerry King joined the band for "Fucking Hostile," and Biohazard singer Evan Seinfeld lent his talents during an encore performance of "Walk."

Watch Pantera Play '5 Minutes Alone' at Final Show, Aug. 26, 2001

Beast Feast wasn't supposed to be Pantera's final show. They had flown to Europe in mid-September to begin the next leg of their tour, but the trek was scrapped in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks before they played a single date. Anselmo went on to release albums with Down and Superjoint Ritual in 2002, while Dimebag and his brother and Pantera bandmate, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott , formed Damageplan in 2003.

Any hopes of a Pantera reunion were dashed when a deranged fan shot and killed Dimebag onstage in 2004. A partial reunion became even less likely after Paul died in 2018. In recent years, Anselmo has honored his fallen bandmates by playing full Pantera sets, dubbed "A Vulgar Display of Pantera," with his solo band, Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals.

"I learned a while back dealing with Dimebag’s death that I could muck around and stay in the past and wallow, but it’s not healthy," Anselmo said in April 2021. "And in turn, when I play these songs, for me it’s all about celebrating the life of Dimebag and Vince. I have to do the best I can for my brothers who have fallen and for all of our fans. I have to do the best I can and look at the bright side.”

Neither Anselmo nor Brown have ruled out the possibility of reuniting to pay tribute to the Abbott brothers, with whom they forged one of the greatest success stories in heavy metal. "If Rex and I had a show to play and we were ever gonna be onstage again together, I would welcome it with open arms," Anselmo told the Inside With Paulo Baron   podcast in 2021. "I love Rex, and he'd be the same way. We're still brothers forever. So playing onstage together or doing some shows together is not out of the question — it could happen."

“The Cowboys From Hell bottled it”: the chaotic story of the Tattoo The Planet festival

Headlined by Pantera and Slayer, 2001’s Tattoo The Planet was shaping up to be one of the greatest festivals the UK had ever seen. Then 9/11 happened…

The mid-90s to the early 00s was a fallow period for UK metal festivals. It was the aftermath of Monsters Of Rock at Donington Park, and before the same site was reclaimed by metalheads for Download . There was the odd Ozzfest , a few metal bands sprinkled across the stages of Reading and Leeds… but that was about it, until 2001, when a new contender entered the arena: Tattoo The Planet. It promised a day-long experience packed to the brim with the best metal bands of the time.

Only, it didn’t go to plan. Instead, 9/11, threw the whole thing into chaos. Headliners cancelled, bands were spooked, dates were moved, and chairs were thrown though tour bus windows. This is the story of Tattoo The Planet – the greatest metal festival the UK never saw.

The idea for Tattoo The Planet was imported from the States. In the year 2000, US promoter Scott Alderman released a statement announcing a brand-new, 30-date US touring festival named Tattoo The Earth, set to begin in July. ‘Nothing represents youth culture like music and body art,’ it read. The headliners would be confirmed as Slipknot and Slayer, alongside the likes of Coal Chamber, Soulfly and Sevendust, plus a group of renowned tattooists.

While the initial run was somewhat chaotic, with numerous bands jumping ship to Ozzfest, it attracted attention from the other side of the Atlantic. UK promoter Mags Revell, who ended up helping to shape Download a few years down the line, decided to make the trip to see it for himself, and thought it had the potential to work in Britain.

“I went along and I liked it,” he tells us. “I had a chat about bringing it over to the UK, and, I don’t really want to get into this, but they were a bit funny about the name. So, we thought ‘Earth, Planet, World… whatever, it’ll be the bands that make it work’. We decided on Tattoo The Planet, and I went down the road to Camden and took a picture of a tattoo gun and mocked it up on a globe and away we went… we didn’t even have any tattoo artists at that point!”

And so, it was confirmed. Tattoo The Planet would have a European run in 2001, starting in Dublin on September 13. The bill was strong: Cradle Of Filth , Static-X, Biohazard, Vision Of Disorder and Raging Speedhorn would join a closing one-two punch of Slayer and, most excitingly and surprisingly of all, Pantera.

“I had done Pantera’s last UK tour,” says Mags. “I thought you’d never see them over here again, because it had been so tense. So, when we got them confirmed, with Slayer as well… what a bill!”

Slayer’s Kerry King remembers his excitement for the shows. “That was like our rebirth as a band after being kind of aimless in the 90s,” he says. “ God Hates Us All was about to come out, which reinvigorated us and was really our blueprint for everything we did in our career after that. So we were desperate to get out and play it to people.”

Then, everything changed. On September 11, 2001, New York City’s World Trade Center suffered the most high-profile terrorist attack in US history. “I was flying out that day,” Kerry tells us. “I woke up that morning and a buddy of mine said, ‘I don’t think you’re going anywhere today.’ Then we saw it. Crazy time. If anything was ever going to make me patriotic then it was that.”

“I remember exactly where I was,” says Tim Williams, vocalist of New York’s own Vision Of Disorder. “On either the 9th or the 10th of September we flew out to Dublin, because we wanted to get there early. We wanted to go party it up. We were on our bus picking up some drums from the rental place, and we were all amped up for this tour! Suddenly, Brendon [Cohen, drums] comes running into the bus and shouts something about planes striking the freaking towers.”

According to Tim, this is where panic set in for the band, knowing that then-guitarist Matt Baumbach’s brother was working in one of the towers. “We saw Matt walking down the street toward us looking like he’d just got off the phone,” Tim continues. “He had a really confused look on his face. We went into the rental place and found a TV, and I don’t think the second plane had even hit yet. Nothing was sinking in yet.”

Luckily, Matt’s brother made it out alive. “He’s got some crazy story about getting out,” Tim nods. “He was on the news, he saved a lot of people’s lives.”

Thousands of others wouldn’t make it out. While the events were playing out in the States and being broadcast across the world to widespread shock and sadness, life in the UK was continuing as normal. “That evening we had Alien Ant Farm playing at the [now- defunct London venue] LA2,” says Mags Revell. “They did the show and I thought, ‘OK, it’s a tragedy, but everything is going to carry on, I guess.’”

Little did he know…

“Pantera were already out there [in the UK],” says Kerry. “They had flown out before the tour. But they decided to come back. It was kind of the end for them as a band, so maybe it was a relief in some way, maybe deep down they didn’t want to do it. But that wasn’t an option for us.”

“We were told that the first night in Ireland was going to be going ahead,” Tim Williams tells us. “But because all the flights had been cancelled, only us and Pantera were there. So, it was just going to be us and Pantera. What a dream! We were sat in this arena on the day of the show, looking at the stage that was set up with Pantera’s gear, and thinking we were about to do this huge thing… then, suddenly, people start coming on and taking their backline down! What the hell was going on?!”

“The Cowboys From Hell,” sighs Mags. “The hardest band in the world… they bottled it.”

Certain members of the tour’s line-up were less than shocked by the decision. “We were tight with the Pantera guys, we knew how they were,” says Billy. “They weren’t too keen on touring outside of the States, they used to bring their own ketchup and Coors beers. They liked what they liked.”

Static-X and Sepultura also withdrew. As they were there, Vision Of Disorder decided they might as well see it through, but even that proved problematic.

“The show was cancelled and then they told us to go somewhere else and the show would be on,” Tim laughs. “Of course we got there and found out that the show had been cancelled. We were following this damn thing around Europe for about a week. In the end, we just had to give up and go home.”

Not for lack of trying, Vision Of Disorder never played any of the dates. Biohazard, another New York band, also wanted to honour their commitment. “We didn’t really sit down and question whether we wouldn’t do the tour,” Billy says. “I had personal thoughts about how not doing the tour, or changing the way we were living, was giving the terrorists another win. There was never a question that we wouldn’t do it.”

The pushback meant that the tour, due to start on September 13 in Dublin, actually started on September 22 in Stuttgart, Germany. “Once it got going, it was a great tour,” remembers Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth. “Yes, a lot of the American bands pulling out might have been a problem, but they were replaced really well, especially in Europe. We had Destruction come join the bill in Germany. It was great!”

In the UK, the tour was rescheduled to start on October 11, propped up by UK artists Napalm Death, Therapy?, Skindred and upcoming Brit metal band Defenestration. “We had just got a new booking agent,” says Defenestration vocalist Jen Tasker. “I remember one day we got the call saying we were going to be doing Wembley Arena. We were just kids, the stage was bigger than most venues we’d played. It was surreal, obviously we were benefiting from this tragedy… but we couldn’t not be excited by the prospect of that.”

As Jen, Dani Filth and Billy will tell us, there was a unique atmosphere backstage at the shows, although all three have radically different memories. Jen remembers being starstruck at seeing members of Slayer walk past, having been “the only band ever to turn up to play Wembley in a Transit van”, whereas Dani mostly recalls having a typically debauched time. “We were just a load of young metalheads letting off steam,” he chuckles. “We had a good time with the Biohazard guys. I think Billy threw a chair through the back of our tour bus window… ask him.”

“Yeah, I think I did do that,” Billy says gingerly. “I was young, my wife was pregnant and we were worried about what was going on at home. So, I did drink a lot and my fuse was pretty short back then; it got me in a lot of trouble. I don’t remember why I did that, but it sounds like me! But you have to remember, there was so much uncertainty, everyone wanted to let off steam because we were so on edge.”

A reported £65,000 was lost on ticket returns, though Mags can’t remember the figure today. But despite the chaos backstage, on the bill and around the world, the shows were often cathartic for those who did play and attend. “There might have been a few returns from people,” Dani scoffs, “but I didn’t see any. All the shows felt pretty full to me, and it was still a great bill.”

“I remember being onstage and feeling the solidarity,” smiles Billy. “I remember someone threw the American flag onstage and we draped it between us and the feeling in the crowd was such an incredible thing. That was a big vibe for us.”

“We didn’t feel any pressure to be Pantera, no,” says Jen. “When we went on, the doors had only just opened, and it was still the biggest crowd we had ever played to. And Slayer were amazing, and we felt really honoured to be there.”

“We needed to play, and our fans needed to see us,” Kerry King tells us.

It might not have gone to plan, but Tattoo The Planet was a fine example of metal’s perseverance in the face of tragedy, and showed there was an audience for large-scale metal shows, laying the foundations for something even bigger. 

“I’m proud we went ahead with it,” smiles Mags. “It was one of the best metal line-ups that there ever was, and, yeah, it didn’t pan out the way we wanted it to, but it showed there was an appetite for this music. Thousands of metalheads turning up to Wembley to see Slayer! And a few years later, we had Download. It gave us all confidence to do that and the hunger to put it right – look where we are now.” 

Since blagging his way onto the Hammer team a decade ago, Stephen has written countless features and reviews for the magazine, usually specialising in punk, hardcore and 90s metal, and still holds out the faint hope of one day getting his beloved U2 into the pages of the mag. He also regularly spouts his opinions on the Metal Hammer Podcast.

Pantera will be joined by Slayer, Static-X, Skrape, and Morbid Angel on its summer arena tour, dubbed Extreme Steel and due to kick off June 20 in New Haven, Conn.

Pantera Line Up Dates For Extreme Steel Tour

While rolling their tanks across the United States on their current headlining tour, the metal purists of Pantera have managed to nail down plans for a summer trek that kicks off June 20 in New Haven, Connecticut.

Slayer, Static-X, Skrape and Morbid Angel will join the Texas headbangers for the Extreme Steel Tour, which is slated to hit arenas through late July.

"Air-conditioned comfort at a high-decibel level will be the theme of Extreme Steel," Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul said in a statement announcing the tour. "We wanted to kick off the summer with a little metal madness of our own. Being Texas boys, we know how brutal the outdoors can be once June rolls around. We figured our fans are ready for a little evening excitement without any humidity other than the heat they'll generate all on their own."

The air-conditioned comfort should provide a stark contrast to the band's sun-baked stint on Ozzfest last summer. Pantera have been working on bringing together their Extreme Steel bill for months, and recently confirmed the involvement of Slayer and Static-X (see [article id="1441336"]"Pantera Headlining Summer Tour With Slayer, Static-X"[/article]).

Before diving into their Extreme Steel trek, Pantera will hit Alaska, Korea, Australia and New Zealand in May on what the group calls the "up north, over the Pacific and back home again" leg of its world tour.
