During a recent interview with Audio Ink Radio Show, Kittie’s Morgan Leander was asked to share her opinion on the Pantera reunion, more, mentioning she’s actually a fan of Pantera.

She said:

“To preface this, yes, I’m a big Pantera fan. I’ve been a fan for a long time. We toured with them on Ozzfest in 2000, so I got to see Pantera live quite a bit. I regret that I feel like I was too young for the early ’90s Pantera, but I did get to see them on the Ozzfest and at a number of shows for ‘Reinventing The Steel’.

”And I actually got to see… I stood side stage for their very last show ever in Japan, at the Beast Feast festival. So that’s all my Pantera back story.

Regarding the Pantera reunion, Leander added:

“When I heard about it, I wasn’t… I don’t know… I wasn’t mad about it. I feel like it is weird, because I feel like the heart and soul of that band were the Abbott brothers. And everything about their playing…

”Not like I could ever compare myself to any of them, but I understand what it’s like to have a sibling in a band, and you play together for so long that it’s, like, you connect on a different level.

”When they played, they had a certain swagger and they connected on a certain level together. And that’s just something that comes with time and practice and all of those things, but also that bond, of being a sibling. And I know they were very close, obviously.”
