I just learned of the passing of Vinnie Paul. I am, as you all know, a massive Pantera fan and this is all I could think to do. I tell a couple of stories about meeting Vinnie throughout the years and seeing him live. Vinnie was a monster behind the kit and a true rock star out from behind it. Please email stories about meeting Vinnie or seeing Pantera or Hellyeah live into the show and I can do a part 2 of this episode.
