Of the many tributes Pantera receives, hardly any were as spontaneous as the one from reporter Emily Jones when she spotted a cardboard cutout of drummer Vinnie Paul in the stands at the Texas Rangers game last weekend.
“Rock 'n' roll royalty here, folks!” Jones exclaims, showing a picture of Paul. “I’m not sure if you know this guy, but he’s Vinnie Paul, drummer for the legendary band Pantera. A longtime resident of Arlington [the city where the game was taking place], he passed away in 2018, but one of his fans made sure he was at home on the Globe Life lawn to support the Rangers this season.”
The journalist added that perhaps people recognize Pantera when "a guy walks," referencing and singing the riff from the classic "Walk.".
