"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.

In 2006, Pantera's ex-bassist Rex Brown played with Vinnie Paul in Texas for the first time in several years with the band.[5]
