@@72marie unleashed in the east can this man get the power that Judas singer at that time as rob halfords did I can't recall I was blown away by Rick Emmett's vocals a while ago man magic power is right that is a longtime and still hit it wide open even though it's a different kind or music a ???
It sucks that Dime is gone but don't take Phil for granted. He is a metal legend and warrior. This guy put his body and soul through hell and back to serve us pure metal!! He is still a very important figure in metal. Metal is not around in a commercial sense but when it does come back it's gonna be sweet.
+Sonortubelug Nah he's been accused of shit like that before, he is just using the power of the mic to speak his distorted mind. He's one of my favorite lead men of all time but he needs to stop acting like he's a real nazi cause he's far from it.
It's good to see How passionate Phil is about metal! You Realize that he really loves metal that's is one of the reason's he still relevant on metal scene. LONG LIVE PHIL H. ANSELMO.
I'm glad he brought the point up about Rob Halford not using falsesetto. Every time I read a short bio on Rob, they always say he uses it when he doesn't. Cool. :)
Seeing him live with Down at the Lincoln in Raleigh NC was probably the high light of my collective live show experiences. I spent 3 hours only feet from him. So much energy in one man, I was sincerely blown away by his stage presence. It was so powerful the way he feeds off the crowd's energy and vice versa. I am tremendously happy that he has a stable life and has found some enlightment. The music world needs Phil. He keeps shit honest, to the core.
Fantastic interview. A lot of the details many of us have been curious about for years. Cool to hear what album he trained his voice on and what their first meet up was like. Also I think there are some youtube videos out there of Kerry jamming with them that Phil was referring to.
This is by far one of the best interviews Phil has done in a long time! He wasnt stoned or drunk or trying to be...when how Phil is lol! He just sat there and told some awesome stories!
Philip Anselmo is an awesome bastard. He certainly did master the art of the Metal God Rob Halford. Non-believer's be directed to the last 30 seconds of Cemetery Gates. Or even Pantera's "Power Metal" years. (As much as P.H.A. would like to forget that era)...
Phil didnt disown Power metal He talked even few years ago to reissue the album. Maybe i am european so back then there werent chasing alternative sell out media crowd about old school heavy metal than the US , but i have an interview in 1997 , where he talk about every album he sang on and Power metal is the first on the list .
I also wanted to mention that in 1991 or 92 Pantera came to Montreal....at the time I was living in Canada and married...I knew that Pantera was coming to Montreal...t they were touring with Prong I was friends with Tommy the guitarist and singer he worked the door at the great CBGB/// I went to the show and Tommy brought me to the dressing room and I can say that I spoke and shook hands with the Great Dimebag Darrell...Phil was sitting there and he was pretty much in his own world..
Id seen the videos of cowboys from hell and cemetery gates but when vulgar came out my friend got it and we were driving in his old beat up truck and shitty stereo. He put that tape in and damn that was the best shit i had heard. I was a pantera fan from then on. Just straight bad ass
Listen to him talk about the music that was around while he was growing up and compare it to the PC, sterilized, unchallenging horse that's being peddled to the masses these days....poor kids.
Wheelio Um, wtf are YOU talking about? Shitty music has always been around but it's in a celebrated abundance now a days...how can you call yourself a music fan and not see the difference? The 70's was the same as now music quality wise?....Because, no...it wasn't.

His point was that it doesn't matter what decade we're in because commercialized pop music has always been there from the beginning. But then again, not everyone is as open-minded as others. So saying things like "todays music sucks! 70s music was better!" is perfectly acceptable for those types of people.
always loved that grungy heavy vocal and still able to be melodic. also liked that he could project heavy yet be legible. alot of dudes nowadays can do the gutteral screams an shiz but cannot show thru legibly. Perfect Hardcore Thrash Vocal!
i hade to fix this.// I'm from NYC and I was one the hardcore scene from the early 80's played in a band called Ultra Violence Agnostic front Vinny Stigma and Roger Miret are good friends of mine from back in the day, Vinny Stigma and Roger Miret
i just watched a interview of phil when he was 24 and when i came here and heard how deep his talking voice has gotten i was like wow! all that smoking over the years has caught up!
It sucks they could not get it together. They were a really important metal band---they would have been one of the "Big Four," had they pulled their heads out of their asses. There would have been no need for a Damageplan, and Dime would still be setting the standard for metal guitarists the world over. RIP dude.
+Remmy 315 Split hairs with whatever terminology suits your argument, what the fuck ever. It was called the Big 4 not the Big Thrash 4. You make it sound as if Pantera would have been like a disco group on that bill. When in fact, Pantera had toured, and shared bills, hundreds of times with each of the Big 4 bands. "Mouth for War," sounds a whole lot closer to thrash metal than say," The Unforgiven." I'm a huge Metallica fan, and you ain't getting me to bite, that they have put out anything close to resembling thrash metal since, "And Justice for All." That's almost 30 years, by my count. The Big 4, was a representation of the form of the heavy metal community, that Pantera was a part of, not an exact definition given by the non-existent Websters dictionary of heavy metal genre monikers.
LOL I've recently become fond of this guy, & I've been watching videos of him all day, but this is the first one that told me where he was from or how old he is. I love how he talks; not just the deepness of his voice, but his little Louisiana accent. :)
Phil saw Motorhead in '83 or '84. He was in the midst of the metal/hardcore crossover. It's the reason why his bands are so diverse (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Illegals, Necrophagia).
I saw Agnostic Front at the Harbor Theater in Detroit with At War and Sacrifice, and a buncha other bands, Motor City Metalfest 1988 trippin acid. Agnostic was crazy and took the cake.
Phil was such an extreme metal guy growing up! Check out this picture from 1986 for proof... www.fullinbloommusic.com/images/razorwhite.jpg (he's in the middle) Also Dimebag knew thrash before Anselmo joined Pantera. He was a Metallica fan from day one. You can hear the thrash influence in Pantera as far back as 1984... Pantera - Projects In The Jungle
Phill is the shit, he only looks way older than what he really is because his beard. He is only 45 and still a great performer so fuck those haters. Phills been through a lott of shit in his life and he still a cool dude.
I met Dimebag Daryl at a Las Vegas Oz Fest, long ago. He was so laid back, friendly, gave my friend and I Heineken and we sat on a pallet by the busses and chatted. I didn't even know who he was at the time. I thought he was just another guy at the show. I was shocked when I heard of his murder.
Wow! Is Phil slowly turning into Richard Kuklinski (The Iceman) 😱 Ha ha. The similarity in his appearance and mannerisms get closer the older he gets. Thankfully, Phil is one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet in spite of his intensity!
@@steve4321able halford doesnt use. Phil didnt either in his real singing Have you listened the interview ? Or Do you really know how to hear and even sing that stuff close for open about it ? I do . And Phil is doing a shot falsetto just for show the difference that people mistake and by that , even a falsetto is thin , he is not getting that high in falsetto that the belting Notes he did .
Awesome!! I’m the singer in a metal band out of Charlotte NC,Black Ritual (check us out on You Tube)and Phil Anselmo has and always will be one of my biggest influences as a front man
I haven't heard anyone talk about , VITUS , SLAYER, and sabbath, saying basically what a big deal they are to him. I couldn't agree more, but in the world and time that I am in now absolutely no one around here has even heard of vitus for example. Was exactly what I see it as. Rob Halford epic. Gg allin agnostic is obscure , and these bands are not just what u say u like cos it's cool or whatever. ..to me these songs are the most gratifying and pleasure in my head.
My point being that _ I was just dumbfounded to hear, that I am not crazy, ..Most people watch the voice on TV , that's the really putrid feeling in my book. Man I gotta stop methadone, is it as bad as they.say? Is it really possible to ..to be clean and feel somewhat okay, after u have been so depend ant, on it in past?
multiwordpass Methadone isnt a good way to give up the gear and feel OK in life. Shell out for a few weeks on an island in Thailand, search for 'DARA'. CBT, culture, healthy living, sounds out there but worked for me dude.
talmaneloc Oh HELLZ YEAHH, U must be from the Lafayette area? I am from Opelousas, THE KEG, IN THE 80'S, RAZOR WHITE AND LILLIAN AXE!!! FUKKN GREAT METAL TIMES!!!
I literally could sit here and listen to this man talk all evening.
Me and my husband are on hour 2!
I bet you could lmao.
@@72marie unleashed in the east can this man get the power that Judas singer at that time as rob halfords did I can't recall I was blown away by Rick Emmett's vocals a while ago man magic power is right that is a longtime and still hit it wide open even though it's a different kind or music a ???
Probably the best interview/ video I've seen of Phil!
Phil , If it wasn't for you and DimeBag , Vinnie and Rex....My life would've sucked
Phil is the man! He will always be one of the greatest heavy metal frontmen. I will always be a fan.
I agree!
phils the king of metal
He was such a looker way back
I am 30 and still to this day Pantera beats them all on heavy music!
"Never give up on the heavy music ever" Phil- 101 Proof live album
And I am almost 60 and they are practically my favourite band. So it says something about them.
The correct quote would be...: _"This next song goes out to everyone who never gave up on fucking heavy music, ever."_ But yeah. ;)
It sucks that Dime is gone but don't take Phil for granted. He is a metal legend and warrior. This guy put his body and soul through hell and back to serve us pure metal!! He is still a very important figure in metal. Metal is not around in a commercial sense but when it does come back it's gonna be sweet.
RIP Vinnie Paul, Dimes brother and drummer of Pantera.
Phil broke his back for the fans in the name of metal. Phil is the "God Of Metal!" No one will ever take that from him.
@@72marie damn rite
Phil Anselmo is such a awesome guy... been through so many experiences and survived them all.
+AdoreYouInAshXI Gonna be hard to recover from this one...
+Sonortubelug Nah he's been accused of shit like that before, he is just using the power of the mic to speak his distorted mind. He's one of my favorite lead men of all time but he needs to stop acting like he's a real nazi cause he's far from it.
He's said in an interview (when talking about the media): "I'd throw a "Zeig Heil" (or whatever it was) in there just to piss them off."
I wish they'd make Phil into a Grand Theft Auto character.
+Jay Hoppy HAHA yes
Louisiana or Texas in 90's setting.
Ha that’s the greatest comment. Yeah I could totally see that he’ll be Trevor’s cousin
They really should
That'be so bad ass
nothing better than story time with phil anselmo
Phil is a gem of a human being. he's been through the almighty best and through hell and back again. He is forever. He means so much.
It's good to see How passionate Phil is about metal!
You Realize that he really loves metal that's is one of the reason's he still relevant on metal scene.
LONG LIVE PHIL H. ANSELMO.
Phil is great, he can just keep talking and talking, and talking when it comes to music.
I'm glad he brought the point up about Rob Halford not using falsesetto. Every time I read a short bio on Rob, they always say he uses it when he doesn't. Cool. :)
Because for people high = falsetto which is not necessary .
I grew up on pantera I've been listening to pantera since I was 3 years old
I could listen to phil talk forever no homo
+alexander johnson How would anyone think that's gay? The man has some interesting stories.
I know. I love his voice.
Gay
used to go see Phil sing in a band called Razor White all the time. He kicked ass even back the. Best front man on the local scene back then.
Thanks Phil. Excellent interview!
Good interview, I respect Phil for being a very honest guy, to a fault at times! He has been through some shit and come out the other side.
PHIL! Please start doing Spoken Word/story telling tours. (Like Henry Rollins does)
People would love it. I'd be there FO SHO!
Hellyeah!! I could diff see that fosho😉
I wish I had Phil's voice.
That would be badass.
^You can get it, scream the hell out of you for three hours a day and drink whiskey instead of water or soda.
He'd have the deepest voice in the asylum!
What would you do with it?
Opiates
@@atticus666 his voice was deep even before he started using opiates.
Seeing him live with Down at the Lincoln in Raleigh NC was probably the high light of my collective live show experiences. I spent 3 hours only feet from him. So much energy in one man, I was sincerely blown away by his stage presence. It was so powerful the way he feeds off the crowd's energy and vice versa.
I am tremendously happy that he has a stable life and has found some enlightment. The music world needs Phil. He keeps shit honest, to the core.
For a guy that's been to hell n back several times he's ticking along ok I guess can't deny his passion cheers phil
...gave me chills listening to their experiences and learning from other bands.
Phil should be a narrator of documentaries or something. His voice beats Morgan Freeman
He did for the Rigor Morris documentary. Check it out
Phil gives such interesting interviews. No vanity, just deep thought.
Fantastic interview. A lot of the details many of us have been curious about for years. Cool to hear what album he trained his voice on and what their first meet up was like. Also I think there are some youtube videos out there of Kerry jamming with them that Phil was referring to.
would love to see him as an actor,he s such a movie
Pantera is the greatest band EVER!!!
Damn rite CFH4L Stronger Than All Getcha Pull
Best fucking frontman ever, in the pantera times...i never heard such terrifying screams and growls from any frontman ever then him
This is by far one of the best interviews Phil has done in a long time! He wasnt stoned or drunk or trying to be...when how Phil is lol! He just sat there and told some awesome stories!
the 30 year olds are listening to PANTERA!!
I love this guy, makes me feel happy he looks in good shape.. taking apart the beard hahaha
Philip Anselmo is an awesome bastard. He certainly did master the art of the Metal God Rob Halford. Non-believer's be directed to the last 30 seconds of Cemetery Gates. Or even Pantera's "Power Metal" years. (As much as P.H.A. would like to forget that era)...
In the Cowboys from Hell album you can hear how high Phil can actually go multiple times. Check out ''Message in Blood''.
"Shattered" as well.
Phil didnt disown Power metal
He talked even few years ago to reissue the album.
Maybe i am european so back then there werent chasing alternative sell out media crowd about old school heavy metal than the US , but i have an interview in 1997 , where he talk about every album he sang on and Power metal is the first on the list .
just seen him in st paul, hell of a good show
You da man Phil! Big fans make the best artists.
Loved listening to him in this. One of the GOATS of metal vocals.
I grew up with all the same shit that Phil is talking about here - that was the best era for Rock, Hardcore Punk, and Thrash Metal
I saw Down in Pittsburgh the day this was posted!
One of the best interviews I've heard from Phil
I also wanted to mention that in 1991 or 92 Pantera came to Montreal....at the time I was living in Canada and married...I knew that Pantera was coming to Montreal...t they were touring with Prong I was friends with Tommy the guitarist and singer he worked the door at the great CBGB/// I went to the show and Tommy brought me to the dressing room and I can say that I spoke and shook hands with the Great Dimebag Darrell...Phil was sitting there and he was pretty much in his own world..
Phil could of acted as Richard Kuklinski in the ice man with this look.
have
was thinking the same
Haaaahahahahaha...fuckin awesome....
I thought the same thing. Haha!
Haha that was immediately my first thought
Id seen the videos of cowboys from hell and cemetery gates but when vulgar came out my friend got it and we were driving in his old beat up truck and shitty stereo. He put that tape in and damn that was the best shit i had heard. I was a pantera fan from then on. Just straight bad ass
Kiss was my first concert too. WASP opened
You got to love phil he is a sweetheart #lovephil #nohomo
He seriously gives the best fucking interviews
Holy shit! He speaks more than 1 word every second!
Lol. He has been high in a lot of interviews. But he's also said that he has to think before saying anything cuz he gets misquoted so much on paper
Listen to him talk about the music that was around while he was growing up and compare it to the PC, sterilized, unchallenging horse that's being peddled to the masses these days....poor kids.
What the fuck are you talking about? Shitty music has been shoved down throats since the dawn of the music industry.
Wheelio Um, wtf are YOU talking about? Shitty music has always been around but it's in a celebrated abundance now a days...how can you call yourself a music fan and not see the difference? The 70's was the same as now music quality wise?....Because, no...it wasn't.
Springfeeeel food for thought.

Edwin Yep, a lot of really great classics in your list! Don't know what your point is unless your driving Springfeeeels point further.
His point was that it doesn't matter what decade we're in because commercialized pop music has always been there from the beginning. But then again, not everyone is as open-minded as others. So saying things like "todays music sucks! 70s music was better!" is perfectly acceptable for those types of people.
always loved that grungy heavy vocal and still able to be melodic. also liked that he could project heavy yet be legible. alot of dudes nowadays can do the gutteral screams an shiz but cannot show thru legibly.
Perfect Hardcore Thrash Vocal!
i hade to fix this.// I'm from NYC and I was one the hardcore scene from the early 80's played in a band called Ultra Violence Agnostic front Vinny Stigma and Roger Miret are good friends of mine from back in the day, Vinny Stigma and Roger Miret
phil, you're a goddamn genious
i just watched a interview of phil when he was 24 and when i came here and heard how deep his talking voice has gotten i was like wow! all that smoking over the years has caught up!
fighting with truth smoking? Have you heard him sing?
It sucks they could not get it together. They were a really important metal band---they would have been one of the "Big Four," had they pulled their heads out of their asses. There would have been no need for a Damageplan, and Dime would still be setting the standard for metal guitarists the world over. RIP dude.
+Remmy 315 Split hairs with whatever terminology suits your argument, what the fuck ever. It was called the Big 4 not the Big Thrash 4. You make it sound as if Pantera would have been like a disco group on that bill. When in fact, Pantera had toured, and shared bills, hundreds of times with each of the Big 4 bands. "Mouth for War," sounds a whole lot closer to thrash metal than say," The Unforgiven." I'm a huge Metallica fan, and you ain't getting me to bite, that they have put out anything close to resembling thrash metal since, "And Justice for All." That's almost 30 years, by my count. The Big 4, was a representation of the form of the heavy metal community, that Pantera was a part of, not an exact definition given by the non-existent Websters dictionary of heavy metal genre monikers.
They are actually called "The Big Four of Thrash".
He's been to hell and back like most amazing artists.
Legend, always thinks long.. Before he talks!!
After seeing this interview I realized when I saw him during Cowboys from Hell his attitude is totally hardcore he comes from that background
What is he chewin on. it must be good cause he's really invested in chewing it.
+Jacob Clegg lmfao invested lol
Can't smoke so has to chew. I'm same way. I love u PHA marry me
He must be chewing on a car tire, or something ^^
His tongue
nicotine gum
LOL I've recently become fond of this guy, & I've been watching videos of him all day, but this is the first one that told me where he was from or how old he is. I love how he talks; not just the deepness of his voice, but his little Louisiana accent. :)
I was roommates with Steve Mcraney. He was a soundman for Pantera in the Dirty South. Connections.
Phil saw Motorhead in '83 or '84. He was in the midst of the metal/hardcore crossover. It's the reason why his bands are so diverse (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Illegals, Necrophagia).
I saw Agnostic Front at the Harbor Theater in Detroit with At War and Sacrifice, and a buncha other bands, Motor City Metalfest 1988 trippin acid. Agnostic was crazy and took the cake.
Fuck. I love Phil.
that's not very brutal...
I could listen to him all day, interesting guy.
True heavy metal icon Amazing musician Extreme character Respect
Phil was such an extreme metal guy growing up! Check out this picture from 1986 for proof...
www.fullinbloommusic.com/images/razorwhite.jpg (he's in the middle)
Also Dimebag knew thrash before Anselmo joined Pantera. He was a Metallica fan from day one. You can hear the thrash influence in Pantera as far back as 1984...
Pantera - Projects In The Jungle
Remember when Pantera sounded like KISS.... Early Pantera.
Fuckin' a... This makes me nostalgic. Phil you fucking rock..
the power of the beard compels me
Phill is the shit, he only looks way older than what he really is because his beard. He is only 45 and still a great performer so fuck those haters. Phills been through a lott of shit in his life and he still a cool dude.
I met Dimebag Daryl at a Las Vegas Oz Fest, long ago. He was so laid back, friendly, gave my friend and I Heineken and we sat on a pallet by the busses and chatted. I didn't even know who he was at the time. I thought he was just another guy at the show. I was shocked when I heard of his murder.
Phil, the metal brotherhood accepts you!
Wow! Is Phil slowly turning into Richard Kuklinski (The Iceman) 😱 Ha ha. The similarity in his appearance and mannerisms get closer the older he gets. Thankfully, Phil is one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet in spite of his intensity!
Oh man, that falsetto kills me!!!😂😂😂👏👏👏
Its falsetto, Halford is the king of falsetto.
@@steve4321able halford doesnt use. Phil didnt either in his real singing
Have you listened the interview ?
Or Do you really know how to hear and even sing that stuff close for open about it ?
I do .
And Phil is doing a shot falsetto just for show the difference that people mistake and by that , even a falsetto is thin , he is not getting that high in falsetto that the belting
Notes he did .
Phil Anselmo is a constant source of inspiration.
What a voice
Love ya Phil Thank you for saving me brother move to Australia man
I wanna hear him talk about every single day in the life of Pantera. In full detail.
Awesome!! I’m the singer in a metal band out of Charlotte NC,Black Ritual (check us out on You Tube)and Phil Anselmo has and always will be one of my biggest influences as a front man
Fuckin guy draws me in. Whether in interviews or performing.
Always a legendary beast!
hah, 3:07 some guy opens the door and Phil gives like a quick "get the fuck outta here I'm doing an interview" look.
He's the fucking best....
keep rolling
Phil is turning into James gandolfini
+Brandon Baer or David Cross

PHIL YOU MAY HAVE 100 YEARS, I STEEL LOVE YOU \m/
PHIL CORE!! the best front man of you ask me, and been through it all

Hell yeah, he really is in good shape again!
Hey Phil, how you doing ? Good I hope.
Anyone wonder phil's opinion on the band Tool
Ye
He probably doesn't like Tool
Uncle Phil!!!
I haven't heard anyone talk about , VITUS , SLAYER, and sabbath, saying basically what a big deal they are to him. I couldn't agree more, but in the world and time that I am in now absolutely no one around here has even heard of vitus for example. Was exactly what I see it as. Rob Halford epic. Gg allin agnostic is obscure , and these bands are not just what u say u like cos it's cool or whatever. ..to me these songs are the most gratifying and pleasure in my head.
My point being that _ I was just dumbfounded to hear, that I am not crazy, ..Most people watch the voice on TV , that's the really putrid feeling in my book. Man I gotta stop methadone, is it as bad as they.say? Is it really possible to ..to be clean and feel somewhat okay, after u have been so depend ant, on it in past?
multiwordpass It don't matter is what it is I will delete all this ramble
multiwordpass
Methadone isnt a good way to give up the gear and feel OK in life. Shell out for a few weeks on an island in Thailand, search for 'DARA'. CBT, culture, healthy living, sounds out there but worked for me dude.
Release the tape Phil we want to see it trust
I got to meet kiss too on that tour. It was the creatures of the night tour.
Dimbag RIP Pantera Is A Nice Metal Band 4Ever
still a god in my eyes keep kicking ass Phil
Holy shit I can relate to this almost entirely, I'm 17 and I'm fronting my small 4 piece band as a vocalist in a fucking garage
Stronger than all
Becoming. God sized
razer white ....the keg .....good times.... y'all just don;t under stand phil...... down south we speak our minds..... peace too everyone.... tal.
