Phil Anselmo on Pantera and Download 2014 | Metal Hammer 

Is he related to Macho Man Randy Savage ? ... I'm waiting for him to say "Well you know Mean Gene .... "

Lmao amazing comment

That would be a cool name for a Stoner Rock band.

Me too

I've never heard of Panera

+John Trow it's the most metal bread in the world. Gotta love auto correct.

+Ben Fama Jr. Lol

Pantera is fuckin awesome I've seen them twice

hahaha! I remember that too.

i think i can remember the episode name it was on it was like hibernation week

Yep, that's the one.

EMPiiRE the song on spongebob was a shortened version of the song death rattle off of reinventing the steel incase anybody was curious lol

Kyle Alfonso not shortened, just instrumental

D'Artangan Oswald Fuck Vinny his current band sucks ass

I wasn't really intending for the comments to go in that direction, but I do happen to agree with your opinion. I don't like Hell Yeah at all. I miss Mudvayne.

D'Artangan Oswald lol, I think it's wrong what the Abbott family did to Phil after Dimes death. Lets face it, if it wasn't for Phils amazing voice and stage presence they would never have gotten as far as they did I don't care what anyone says. They didn't even allow him at the funeral which is bullshit.

Yeah, I personally didn't agree with that decision, and again I can't say this with any kind of certainty, because I didn't know the guy personally, but I don't think Dime would have wanted things handled that way. I also don't think he'd want 3 of the most important people in his life (Rex, Vinny, and Phil) to not still be brothers like they were during all the good times they had together. Dime seems like he was way too laid back and mellow to hold a grudge against Phil for over a decade. I think if he had a way to speak now that he'd tell Vinny to let it go, and tell everyone that tries to blame Phil for his murder that it wasn't Phil's fault and that he loves and forgives Phil for all the bullshit that happened. I could be totally wrong, but that's just the kind of guy I think Dime was. I've never seen any other musicians who had anything bad to say about him (other than Phil during some of his dumbass phase interviews).

yea. I feel the same.

iCHAWY its much bigger than "metal", being robbed of an incredible human being is a lot sadder my friend

+Charly The Kid that's enough.

I agree with you 100%. The thoughts of what could have been or just haunting for so many of us. They were a true juggernaut.

+ only guitar player with similar playing style is Zakk. Its like they practiced and learned together :) amazing !

nicolhaidi The earth trembles with every word he says

rob manson Yeah fuck a guy who doesn't want to do a "reunion" when the guitarist who happens to be his brother was murdered. Phil couldn't sing most Pantera shit now anyways...lastly, why don't you say fuck the guy who was going to cause the band to break up anyways because he was a fucking junky?

***** Some comments are so stupid you just have to ignore them. Dimebag revolutionized heavy metal guitar. The dude just said Superjoint and Down were better than Pantera...dude is obviously on crack.

Thats cause hes a prick and can't grow up

He needs to pull the bug out his ass.

endocry Maybe you've never seen the Behind The Music where VP says he blames Phil for his brother being shot. Vinnie is childish and treats people like shit, both Rex and Dime's ol' lady have both said so. VP is an alcoholic, an alcohol addict, you'd think he could empathize with his brother Phil falling victim to the needle FIFTEEN YEARS AGO and celebrate him finding his way out of the heroin trap. Dime must be rolling over in his grave.

imagine if the fan's decided to somehow, make this happen...Vinnie would be all bummed out the whole time, like cursing under his breath while he drums haha

That would suck, Vinnie would never play with Phil again or replace his brother.

Everybody except Vinnie are on board for doing some sort of reunion project. Even he says that Zakk Wylde would be the guy if they actually did something but that it ain't gonna happen.

it was his brother that died, they did everything together all there lifes, he'll never fully recover & Phil talked so much shit about them until the day Dime died & even afterwards. Give Vinnie Paul some respect & stop badgering him. it took a lot to get back up on the drums, hes doing better in life now. lets leave him be.

ShockMe1994 It's not as if I said anything bad about Vinnie, just that he's the only one stopping a reunion from happening. Don't really see how that constitutes "badgering." I do think it would be better if he let the anger go and forgave Phil. Phil admits that he was fucked up. He even said, "I have no excuse, I was a junkie" to Rita, who in turn actually forgave him. Regardless of what Phil said, he's not the one who pulled the trigger.

Where do u live?

+LT02 lol

I live about 20 minutes away from his compound lol. I wonder if he got any water in his house, I don't know how bad Fulsom flooded

Opiates fucked him up big time. Its a miracle he's still alive.

Who knows what this guy has been through and seriously years (decades) of touring with metal bands especially one like "Pantera" will definitely take a roll on your body..or so so I would imagine. I have met quite a few "Metal" musicians and for some reason it seems as if in most cases the lead singer had the roughest deal. All that screaming and putting on a show I would imagine takes much more energy than say a guitar player...even a drummer. Top it off with lots and lots of hard alcohol (Crown Royal seems to be the most popular with metal musicians followed by shack Daniels)...drinking tons of this before and after a show...then snort a few lines of coke just to wake up and be able to put on another show yes this is a very hard life. I cannot speak for myself really as I have never lived this kind of life...but really I cannot understand why most of these "Metal" bands cannot love what they do without the drugs and alcohol is beyond me. I would think the fans cheering would be more than enough to stimulate me and to get my energy rolling as opposed to hard drugs to achieve that feeling.

Can't blame him. When your best friends with the best metalhead guitarist ever and then he dies in your sight. It can really bring a man down. Surprised he didn't commit suicide.

He's actually a lot better than he was 10 years ago.

hes pretty much always been this way man

Vinnie, Rex, Phil, and put Zakk Wylde on guitar. Too bad Vinnie can't get over his grudge against Phil. I don't really care for Zakk's playing because of his excessive use of pinch harmonics but he is good and would hopefully tone it down with it being a tribute and not his own songs/solos, especially since he was good friends with Dime

. but Vinnie said it would be disrespectful. his brother is dead people need to let it go

Nikki Stitch I guess I just don't understand Vinnie's point of view. Any show that would happen would likely be a tribute to Dime, a sign of respect. As long as it was a one-off and they didn't try to replace Dime and release some new material calling it Pantera. That is the point at which it could become disrespectful.

ColossalTriangle6425 That´s a good point! I wouldn´t mind if someone released a new album even if it would be weird listening to Pantera without Dimebag! And as you said in your first comment about Zakk... He feels like the natural choice of person even though he has a different style of guitarplaying.

yea but even dimes brother said it will never happen. you got Hellyeah that's the closest you will ever get

I would have loved to have popped your cherry with 'A new level' on in the background !!

jonathan hayes More like a tearful wank to '5 minutes alone'

jonathan hayes Does this seriously get you laid?

Justjaseyeah Yeahprettymuch Haha. Brilliant.
