Regarding the band's formation, Paul stated:

"Pantera played every New Year's Eve until about '97. After that, the other two guys decided they didn't want to play on New Year's Eve, and that was my favorite time to play. Me and Dime decided that we'd put together a good time band and just do cover tunes and it was all about beer drinkin' and hell raisin'."

In 2006, Pantera's ex-bassist Rex Brown played with Vinnie Paul in Texas for the first time in several years with the band.{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=46253|title=Ex-PANTERA Bandmates REX BROWN And VINNIE PAUL Play Together For First Time In Over Four Years|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|access-date=18 February 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606063608/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=46253|archive-date=6 June 2011}}
