The relaunched Pantera is currently out supporting Metallica on select dates of the North American leg of the M72 World Tour. They performed in Montreal, Quebec on August 11th, and drummer Charlie Benante (Anthrax) gave Metallica frontman James Hetfield and drawing of late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton as a gift. Check out the Instagram post below.
Burton died in a tour bus crash in Sweden on September 27, 1986 on the Damage Inc. tour. Anthrax were on the road with them as support.
Pantera were joined by Anthrax singer, Joey Belladonna, for a performance of "Walk" during their August 8 concert at St. Joseph's Health Amphitheater at Lakeview in Syracuse, NY. Fan-filmed video can be viewed below:
