Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything. It’s a safe bet that a majority of metal heads spent the past weekend blasting Slayer nonstop in honor of the late Jeff Hanneman. Pulling out our old Slayer records reminded us of something: that Slayer are among the few [...]

Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything. Before anyone starts to freak out about the imagine seen off to the side: no, we ARE NOT reporting about My Chemical Romance’s demise.

It’s been over a week since Ministry and Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia passed away.

This past Saturday, December 8th, marked 8 years since Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebagg Darrell was killed onstage.

Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything. The assassination of Dimebag Darrell still haunts the metal community (even over seven years after deranged fan Nathan Gale opened fire at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus Ohio during a Damageplan show).

Headbangers’ Brawl is a weekly column where Metal Insider’s contributors take a moment to debate and analyze two opposing sides of a topical issue occurring in the world of metal and/or the music industry.

By now you’ve heard Vinnie Paul saying that in the unlikely event of a Pantera reunion, he’d have Zakk Wylde fill in for his late brother Dimebag Darrell. While Vinnie Paul was quick to say it would never happen, it’s still caused quite a buzz online. And now the Black Label Society frontman may have [...]

While making it pretty clear that a Pantera reunion without the late Dimebag Darrell would never happen, Vinnie Paul’s comments about Zakk Wylde being “the guy” to fill in for his brother got many gossiping. So much so that rumors of a Pantera reunion with the Black Label Society leader took on a life of [...]
