Official Truth 101 Proof: The Inside Story of Pantera is the starkly honest and revealing
memoir by Pantera bassist Rex Brown about his time in one of the most influential and
enduringly popular bands in heavy metal history offering Brown's shocking personal insight
into a band that had swapped the grimy clubs of Texas for arenas around the world but whose
story would ultimately be touched by tragedy.Few heavy metal acts survived the turmoil of the
early 1990s music scene. Pantera featuring the peerless guitar playing of the late Dimebag
Darrell Abbott was different. Instead of humouring the market the band demanded that the
audience come to them by releasing a series of fiercely uncompromising platinum albums
including Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven - albums that sold millions of copies
despite minimal airplay.This is the previously untold story behind one of the most influential
bands in heavy metal history written by the man best qualified to tell the truth about those
incredible and often difficult years of fame excess and tragedy.
