This is the latest example of the mainstreaming of adult film celebrities now seen as part of the country entertainment fabric. The mid-summer rock erotic fusion is the perfect extension for the band, whose drummer, Vinnie Paul, owns the infamous all-nude Clubhouse in Dallas, TX.

Pantera musicians Philip Anselmo, Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown will autograph copies of their most recent best-selling CD, "Reinventing the Steel."
