But nothing, really. I would love to release a live album of this lineup so we can document what we did and just have it. I think that would be a great thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And on how the negative reaction from some quarters to the reunion affects him, the drummer adds: &#8220;I feel I was put in this Pantera situation for a reason and that&#8217;s why I embraced it so much and that&#8217;s why I love it so much, because it&#8217;s something bigger than the band.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I wish people nowadays would be more caring and loving towards us all, you know? Not just musicians, but to each other. Stop being so rotten about things, because I&#8217;ll tell you this much \u2013 10 years&#8217; time, a lot of this stuff is gone. So if you don&#8217;t enjoy it now, that&#8217;s it, it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-hvgNE5TS24pX44gmAYr6GY\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-hvgNE5TS24pX44gmAYr6GY slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up below to get the latest from Metal Hammer, plus exclusive special offers, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I think in the beginning of the whole thing there were naysayers and all I would say is just come.
