In this episode, the guest recounts a challenging experience driving for the band Pantera. Despite their initial excitement for the tour, the guest quickly found the band members to be rude and demanding. The guest describes how they had to demand to be moved to different accommodations to distance themselves from the difficult group. It was a relief for the guest to finally conclude the tour with Pantera.
Is there anybody, like, could you share, like, the worst group that you drove for, like, one of the worst examples? Oh, oh, without a doubt. Oh, okay, yeah. Now let's go. Let's get into it. Oh, God. What's the worst? Because everybody's like, oh, they're so nice. No, let's go here. Pantera. Pantera? Oh, I was so glad to get off that freaking tour. Yeah? Oh, they were just, it was when they were first hitting big and everything. I picked them up in Fort Worth, Texas and everything, where they live. Guy Sykes was their road manager. After the first, they were putting us in blocks in hotels. It wasn't a stage show for them. They wanted attention all the time, rude as shit, just horrible. I remember after the first night with them, the next morning, I walked up, got this close in front of Guy's face, and I said, you call every hotel. You get me as far away from these fucking people as you can possibly get me. They're that bad. And I'll never forget his reaction. He nodded, he smiled, he nodded his head, he said, I understand. So the rest of the tour, I was like, different floor, different. I was so glad to get off that tour.
