Damageplan was absolutely awful. Not just the vocals but even musically it was lacking. I am sure if they did a new damagplan album it would have been better. But they even said in interviews that the fans wanted a heavier, pantera type album and that was the direction they were going to go on the next album. Rumor even has it that they pretty much already recorded most of it. Hopefully one day we'll get to hear it.
But yes Pat was a terrible vocalist, not only his voice but his lyrics.. just bad.
I don't know what it is. But it seems like if Phil wasn't part of their music Vinnie and Dime couldn't really pull off much quality stuff. I mean look at Pantera before Phil was there. Now look at Hell Yeah. Hell Yeah is REALLLYYYY Bad. I wish Vinnie paul would do a heavier thrash record again and stop with the shit kicker redneck rock shit.
Hopefully some day sooner than later Phil, Rex and Vinnie can get together and write some music again.
