The historical online auction event will feature rare music memorabilia, including early day Pantera, Damageplan and Hellyeah collectibles as well as personal items from the private collection of Vinnie Paul.
Backstage Auctions is proud to present a truly historical online auction event featuring the private and personal collection of legendary metal artist and drummer Vinnie Paul. “The collection is a true testament to Vinnie’s legacy and shows his passion for music, sports and living life to the fullest” explains Backstage Auctions founder Jacques van Gool. “It is the ultimate Vinnie Paul celebration”.
With nearly 700 auction lots, the online auction features a collection that spans four decades of mind-bending mementos from his years with Pantera, Damageplan and Hellyeah. Among the many highlights are several drum kits – including the kit he played last, a collection of guitars, including a vintage Dimebag Darrell Washburn, custom slot machines, every imaginable record award, clothing, artwork, autographed items, home furnishings, photos, posters, and just about every laminated pass ever issued to Vinnie Paul.
Additionally, Vinnie was a huge hockey, football, and baseball fan, leaving behind a massive collection of sports memorabilia with a heavy emphasis on his hometown heroes: The Dallas Stars, The Dallas Cowboys and The Texas Rangers. Highlight pieces include an array of autographed collectibles, seats from the original Dallas Cowboys stadium, hockey sticks, helmets, and a massive amount of jerseys.

On this day, 28 years ago – the heaviest record to ever debut at Number 1 on the Billboard charts was released. Far Beyond Driven beat out Bonnie Raitt & Ace of Base for the top spot! Do you remember the first time you heard it?…
“That album’s one of my favorites — that and Vulgar [Display of Power],” Rex Brown enthused to us in 2005; the record of which he was speaking is Reinventing the Steel, Pantera’s swansong and an LP that Brown’s former bandmates Phil Anselmo and Vinnie Paul also look back on fondly. By all accounts, the LP marked a renewed creative spark and sense of brotherhood within the group following a long, dark period during which Anselmo’s drug abuse fractured the band and marred their onstage performance and offstage relationship with fans.”
In honor of Pantera’s 1992 masterpiece, Vulgar Display of Power, turning 30 this year, we spoke with vocalist Philip Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown about the wild times they had while making the album and touring on it with their now-deceased bandmates, guitarist Dimebag Darrell and drummer Vinnie Paul. In this extended excerpt from the full conversation, Anselmo and Brown fondly recall some of the craziest experiences they had with Dime and Vinnie — the drinking game”twist and hurl,” getting shirtless on an airplane, going feral on tour — and pay tribute to their everlasting legacy. Watch now.
