I'm not surprised that he's wearing that shirt, they were from the same state and I remember Phil himself telling my friends and I to check them out (among other bands). That's actually how I got my first Exhorder cassette. As much as I loathe what that guy became, one thing I can't gripe about is that he's always been into underground music and still is.

Their vocals are indeed similar (I think moreso than the riffs, drums, etc). But here is my confusion, and this has always troubled me because there has always been that 'Pantera sucks they ripped off Exhorder' thing going on for the past 14-15 years:

If Kyle's vocals are great, then why are the Pantera vocals terrible? Surely they are similar, but by this same reasoning, aren't all death and black metal vocals post-1990 also ripoffs? I just can't wrap my mind around why this logic applies to Pantera but not to those 5,373,365 other bands. Is it because they sold out stadiums, made a lot of money and a lot of fans, but Exhorder couldn't even last for three albums?

I know I'm playing the devil's advocate here, anyway, the Pantera 'defense' is at an end, because I have so many other better reasons to dislike that band than because they were influenced by Exhorder.
