Pantera

Glaze joined Pantera in 1981 and was amongst the bands original line up, initially he joined as the bands second guitarist, however in 1982 after original lead singer Donny Hart left, Glaze took over vocal duties while still contributing some guitar parts on some of the band's songs.[1] His vocal range caught the attention of many record label A & R's is credited for bringing Pantera to the forefront of heavy metal music, but a dispute with the band's musical direction ultimately led to Glaze leaving Pantera in 1986 with Glaze wanting to keep the glam metal style and the rest of the band wanting to be heavier.

Post-Pantera

In 1986, Glaze joined three rock musicians from Tennessee to form the band Lord Tracy,[1] releasing one LP (Deaf Gods of Babylon) in 1989 through Uni Records. The band broke up in 1991[1] and Glaze formed another band, Blowphish, which included Mike Malinin (Goo Goo Dolls). When Blowphish failed to land a major record deal, Glaze moved to Prince George's County, Maryland, where he plays locally with his party band The Crayfish,[1] and occasionally gets together with other local musicians.

In May 2006, Glaze appeared throughout VH1's Behind the Music: Pantera. Notable moments include him talking about Dimebag Darrell being buried with the famous guitar of Eddie Van Halen, used around the Van Halen II era.

In April 2010, Rex Brown invited Glaze onstage during an Arms of the Sun gig in Dallas to perform a couple of old Pantera tracks, "All Over Tonight"[2] and "Come-On Eyes".[3] It was the first time since 1986 that Glaze had played with a former Pantera bandmate.

Glaze currently lives in Bowie, Maryland[4] with his wife, Lori, and their two children.[1]
