PANTERA: Behind The Music Remastered is airing April 6th at 9PM EST/ 8PM CST on VH1 Classic. More details and a sneak peak will be added here soon.

In March, former Pantera bassist Rex Brown published his autobiography, Official Truth: 101 Proof. Recently, Rex gave BraveWords.com correspondent Greg Prato the lowdown on his book, an excerpt follows:

BraveWords: While writing the book, did memories come back that you had forgotten about?

Rex Brown: “Oh yeah, and there are so many more that I wanted to put in, and I just couldn’t get them in. I had to go through it twice, with like a toothbrush – dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. I probably have another couple of books in me, because of all the crazy shit that went down. Like I said, it’s just so hard to get 20 years of your life into 300 pages. But we did the best we could, and I think it’s a good read. I’m happy with it, and it gives a little insight into things that people might not have known about me. And it was very cathartic.”

BraveWords: Something I liked about the book is that it demystified the members of Pantera, since a lot of people look at them as larger-than-life figures.

Rex Brown: “That was the intention, and that is why I called it Official Truth: 101 Proof, because I wanted to get it as true to as what I recall and my own story. And like I said, it’s hard to do in so many small words. But hopefully kids will get out there and buy it and hear my side of the story.”
