One year ago, Vinnie Paul slammed Rex"memory" as a "pile of mythology." Asked about how he was represented in BrownThe 2013 book, "The official truth, 101 evidence: the inner story of Pantera", in which the old PANTERA bassist referred Vinnie like "a strange person" who "was always about the" party, party, party ", but" only sat one out of ten, "said the drummer "The morning glory of Rover" syndicated radio show: "All I can say is that … I will refer to Philippeof[[[[Anselmoold PANTERA singer]comment Rexthe book A bunch of mythology, man. We do not know where he came from with all that. More power for him, man. "

In an interview in 2013 with metalsucks, Anselmo was asked about the fact that Vinnie Paul was sometimes painted in a very negative light Rexthe book

"I'm not sure that this type of shots[sure[we[sur[onVince]was necessary, " Anselmo I said. "Vince is a tough guy and was always a different type of guy. But did he deserve that kind of blows? I do not think so. It's a pity. "

He continued: "Rex has a lot of flaws, like any one else. But it seems of course that he wants to blame other people for taking away his humanity. We are all full of mistakes. Maybe it is easier for some of us to admit. "

Brown defended his comments on Vinnie Paul during a 2013 interview with the "Energize with Lonn Friend" Podcast. After revealing that he sent his book to Anselmo and Vinnie Paul, says the bass player: "Apparently, Vinnie is not very flattered by this. VinnieSo, he can write his own fucking book, you know. With Philippe, I did not hear any rebuttal, but I did not say anything in the book that was not already there, you know what I say ?! "

He added, "I think the reason they did not talk to me is because East the fucking truth. And sometimes you do not want to tell the truth. And I did not hurt to hurt anyone. But at the same time, if you want to tell the truth, by God, you'd better be thin. And I think Mark Eglinton [[[[Rexthe co-author], who did it with me, he really just … He put me down … You know how you have your dreams that you had in high school when you're just … you're in sub- clothing. That's how I felt with this book. Yes [you’re] do not [being completely truthful in your memoir]I think it's a bunch of charade … and why would you do that?

On page 172 of "The official truth, 101 evidence: the inner story of Pantera", Brown had the following about Vinnie Paul: "You have to understand that Vinnie is just a strange person – that 's all there is to it – and that' s either his way or the highway. I think he's pulled most of this connivance from his old man, because in many ways they look a lot alike. Vinnie was always all about the "party, party, party! and & # 39; eat that pussy! & # 39; kind of shit – insofar as he thought that he was fucking David Lee Roth. And he a drummer, can you imagine? But the truth is that he only sat down maybe one time out of ten and that's where he was lucky. Being in a platinum sales group is supposed to be a long way ahead when you are trying to score with chicks, but he has denied that by having no idea how to treat or approach a woman. He had just got up and immediately started fumbling, so it was not a surprise that his typing rate was so pitiful. He acted as if meeting him was a sexual audition and it simply disconnected them. "He continued:" And as if it was not enough, when he did not go to bed (ninety percent of the time, I was evaluating) it was the fuckin ' the most miserable on the planet. I could not live with him. He was walking in the room in the morning and I would know it right. He would be all cute and pissed off with everyone and there was nothing that anyone could do to change his mood. It has become really boring. "
