Vinnie Paul, co-founding drummer of the revered Texas metal band Pantera, has died. Paul was 54. Since news of Paul's passing broke, his hard-rock and metal peers have shared their shock, sadness and condolences via social media.
"It's nights like these that make you think of all your friends and loved ones but especially the ones you don't see anymore," Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante wrote on Instagram. "Vinny was the Glue In Pantera ( to me), those motherfuckers retaught Me about Metal and most of you too! The numerous shots, the hugs, the finger snapping, the damn hotdog machine in his kitchen, All VINNY! God dammit I'm fucking upset I love you bro"
