Rex Brown

Rex Brown is the low-end backbone of one of the heaviest bands that ever existed. Pantera's groove metal lived and died on the lockstep between his bass and Vinnie Paul's drums, and that thick, churning bottom is a huge part of why Vulgar Display of Power still flattens people decades later. He's a genuine Texas lifer who later channeled his roots into bluesier solo work and his stints in Down. I respect that he kept the flame burning through unimaginable losses in that band's family. A musician's musician who never needed the spotlight to matter.

Rex Brown is an American rock musician born in 1964 in Graham, Texas, best known as the bassist of the influential groove metal band Pantera. He played on the band's landmark albums during their commercial peak in the 1990s and later performed with Down and Kill Devil Hill. He has also released solo material that leans toward classic and southern rock.
