In a recent interview with StarTribune.com, Hammett was asked about the reformed PANTERA, which has been opening for METALLICA on their extensive North American stadium tour in 2023 and 2024.

“I think it’s a great thing,” he said. “It’s a tribute to the brothers keeping their legacy alive. And it’s a great thing for PANTERA fans. Even though it’s not the original PANTERA, you still get to see Phil [Anselmo] and Rex [Brown], and Zakk [Wylde] and Charlie [Benante] are doing a damn good job.”

In March 2023, roughly five months before PANTERA took the stage as the opening act for METALLICA on their “M72” tour, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich shared his thoughts on the PANTERA comeback in an interview with Revolver.

He said at the time: “I think that the idea that they’re out celebrating the music and the magic of PANTERA is … I know there’s been a lot of talk in the community about whether people support that or not. But I’m the type of person, if Glenn Hughes wants to go out and play a DEEP PURPLE set, I’d support that.

“I’m always in favor of people following their musical and creative ambitions; so this PANTERA reunion, I think, is good,” he added. “And obviously having Charlie up there is great. I saw a video from one of the Mexico shows that felt like they were in the pocket. It’ll be fun to have them out.”
