I thought the same thing. I'm also from the south and he talks exactly like all the people I have known all my life. I love the, " I don't give a shit." That's it! That's us, the south.
I think people mist understood Pantera's direcetion because to me they were influence by thrash, hard core, heavy metal, and death metal music and mix everything together with their southern heavy music into one.
Yeah, after the 2000s it got really really deep and he started talking slower. Probably comes from his heroin addiction, good thing he’s taking care of himself nowadays
In Venezuela we called Pantera’s style Power Metal, because of how powerful and different they were. Although, I know the term “power metal” is used by other countries for a different type of heavy metal bands like Helloween and Stratovarius, yet we liked calling Pantera southern Power Metal. 🤘🔥
There's actually an interview from the Cowboys from Hell days where Phil defines their genre as power metal, before the term was used for the dragonslaying bs that is power metal
Thumbnail pic subtitles " Phillip Anselmo frantically tries to remember where he left his special pre-show stash, after being rudely wakened by concert staff and told Pantera is going on in 4 minutes "
I agree they are no heavy metal or trash metal band, perhaps is some sort of fusion between heavy and trash I guess, or just a metal band, but I know all albums from Cowboys from Hell till Reinventing the Steel I love them
this should be renamed "worst interview ever" what even is this? do you think haircuts will become a trend? can people look to you for guidance with this decison?
He means literally heavy metal the genre not as the wide term for all metal music. Iron maiden is a good example of how heavy metal sounds and pantera doesn't sound like that. They're way heavier in both production and vocals. their specific genre are groove metal which comes mostly from thrash metal and it does have elements of traditional heavy metal but it still has it's own seperate sound
Phil introduced them to bands like Slayer, Melvins and Black Flag pushing Pantera into a heavier style. Without Phil, they'd have still played like Motley Crue and maybe disbanded when lipstick rock died in the early 90's. Phil was both the good and bad for Pantera I guess.
Pantera was the combination of those four guys... No single or two members were more significant than the whole. And Phil was driving force behind Pantera becoming heavier with each release.
I know pantera fans will get their tampons twisted when i say this but its the truth, vulgar is really not very different than metallicas black album. It has that same sound and feel to it. Only major difference is phils lyrics are stupid af and james hetfields lyrics arent. Vulgar is heavier at times but in the end it really is the same kinda shit.
