DOWN/Ex-PANTERA Bassist Interviewed By CLASSIC ROCK REVISITED (Audio)

October 12, 2010

Jeb Wright of Classic Rock Revisited recently conducted an interview with DOWN/ex-PANTERA bassist Rex Brown. The chat can now be streamed in six parts below.

In an interview with Sonic Excess, Brown was asked about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the next DOWN album. "We have about three to six tracks, but what I think we are going to do is bundle these things together and record them," Rex replied. "We will put like four tracks into a bundle, for $6.99 or something like that, and start putting those out and doing it all the time. That would be the ideal function of the band, instead of putting that one major record out that can be a painstaking process . . . We are still going into the barn to get that heaviness and get it as stripped down as possible. We will have to see when we get there. I really can't speculate now, because I know it's not going to be this year; probably next year before anything comes out. With this band (DOWN),it just takes time. We all have different lives and things going on outside of this band. We just did a three-year touring cycle, so we have to get away from it for just a little bit."

On the topic of a possible PANTERA reunion without Dimebag, Brown said, "I just don't see it happening. It would be great in one factor, that we would play with Vinnie again and that it would be all sorted out. But I think it would be... I just don't think it would be right without Dime. It was only the four of us, and I don't know anybody that can play like him."
