As a black kid that loves metal, I get told all the time that my music taste is trash and that most metal bands are racist. Which is definitely not the case. I’ll be a metal head FOREVER 🎸🤘🏿🤘🏿
@@devinh8948 There's shit heads everywhere, but if you like metal, welcome. Metal is for everyone, with the exception of some of the fucks that's in the genre. Just look out for 'em. Just like any genre.
Terrible musicians? You ever actually listened to Machine Head? Maybe give The Blackening a good listen and see how wrong you are. Plus metal bands do give a fuck and the ones that tell you they don't are just a bunch of wannabe rebels with no musical talent.
It's funny how the Phil supporters always bring up him apologising. He has spent the years since whining about cancel culture in just about every interview he has been a part of.
@@brianmeen2158 I guess that what depend on what is considered part of cancel culture. I'm not a fan of the organized activism and doxxing and shit like that but there are consequences for saying stupid shit. I also don't see how Phil Anselmo has by any objective measure been "cancelled". He got called out by his fans for his stupid behavior. He apologized after the initial reaction against him but he seems to have walked that back in interviews after with constant gripes about cancel culture as if he is the victim here. The dude is still very much visible in 2024, he hasn't been erased.
@@shaunsmith7503 Yes he's very much visible in 2024, and why is that? Because for one he committed no crime and has paid his due over this indiscretion. Much more horrific tragedies in the world to worry about. And he's on point about cancel culture! Why is he made such a scapegoat, while others questionable misdoings get pushed under the rug?
@@sassydoe9407 Scapegoat for what? He got called out for his shitty behavior. He isn't being punished, he hasn't been cancelled. Keep up with the whataboutism, sure ...there are others out there worthy of criticism as well but that doesn't mean he gets off scot-free.
Phil Anselmo is just misunderstood, his arm was hurting due to the fact that he was holding that heavy microphone in his hands for the whole concert and he needed to stretch his arm (those things are fucking heavy). Then, as nowadays everybody does, he was just doing some product placement for helping his drug-dealer friend out. In fact he was screaming "white powder", which he very much enjoys with white wine.
Metal is meant to be enjoyed by everyone, metal knows no religion, race, gender, orientation or creed (well not the band) There's no place in metal for racism. \m/
+jrocker198124 i can say the same for rap with black people, it's a stereotype, just a stereotype, i know black people metalheads, for the rest of your comment... just bullshit.
Robb, it affirms my belief in metal to hear your words. It is important to hear yourself & others speaking out. We should see our scene & its bands/members with pride. Not shame. Much credit to you & thanks for all these years of great music!
Smart man. He eloquently broke down the significant differences between white pride and black pride. I've got much respect for this dude. He's got some serious balls to put up a video like this.
That was the one area of the video I really disagreed with. "[White men aren't oppressed by black people, therefore they shouldn't say they are proud of their color]"? I understand where he was trying to go with it, but he really lacked some fucking eloquence with that one. Again, most of his points are very well made but this is why I don't turn to some fuckin metal guy I respect for opinions on issues/current events etc.
Hell yeah! Look who you run into on Machine Heads comments section hahha!! Love your vids man! And thanks to Robb to for saying what we're all too scared to say! Why you guys have been my favorite band since i was six!
Robb Flynn got loads of death threats after putting this out and still didn't take it down. So much respect for him for making this. Racism should always be stood up to.
I'm black and I love metal and rock! I appreciate this video so much. As a teen in the late 80s and early 90s I was always apprehensive to go to metal shows because of the racists and was always analyzing lyrics because I'd be mortified if I was enjoying some song with racist lyrics. It really sucked!
How much racism did you encounter? I am your age and have similar experience. But apart from tossing Manowar out of my collection I never had any issues. I loved Sodom, Kreator, Accept, Metallica, etc. There wasn t any racism in my scene. But yes, the problem obviously exists. I really like your attitude. I can imagine quite a few people had a struggle like yours, but I was spared.
@@gulliverthegullible6667 Pantera songs have no racist lyrics of any kind. They do have songs with anti- racism lyrics for sure. Phil is stupid on occasion when drunk. But he's no racist.
@krazimuffin I think you may of misunderstood. I meant it took balls to speak up against a metal giant like Pantera being a lesser known band and risking losing fans, not talking about racism. Anyhow you keep up the good work krazimuffin, wouldn't want too many people talking about ending racism...lol
As a black man who listen to all kinds of music(metal included).Thank you for sharing and I applaud you for standing up and speaking up for metal music.
I got the privilege of seeing Machine head live and they kicked ass!!! This man has heart and nuts to talk about a problem that plagues us to the present day, racism sucks!!!
@@zap7026 My comment is not pointless; policies supposedly inspired by anti-racism, anti-LGBTQ policies are an attempt to justify tyranny on the masses. That does not mean that I am in favour of racism or any form of bigotry, because I am not and very few people are.
I'm Black and Live for Metal!! But there's that Race Stigma that's always with it, because of my Colour I've Never gone to a Concert and probably Never Will, but this has Opened a New Door and seeing people agree in the Comments gives me hope 🤘
Get you some friends you can trust and go!!!! I'm a black girl going to metal concerts since I'm 15!!! Of course it depends on where you live but tbh at concerts people just came to enjoy music
You'll be fine, man. Go enjoy yourself. Don't let this video scare you and don't believe the bullshit stories about metalheads. This video got taken way out of context and it's not what it looks like. There's a whole story behind what happened that night and why Phil said that. He wasn't preaching to a crowd of racists he was targeting a couple of black supremacists in the crowd. He's not racist it was more to piss those guys off. Hope you change your mind and decide to go check out a live show man there's nothing like a good metal show. Shit I went to see Tech N9ne a while back and I'm almost certain I was the only white guy in the crowd. Lol. Didn't stop me and I had a hell of a time!
@@captainbuzzkill4658 Nice words of Advice!! I skipped out on Lamb of God just recently and to be honest I was so Mad at myself for not going I didn't hear that side of it! That in my eyes is different then I was so Sad when I seen this, i mean I have a Razor tattooed on my Wrist for Dimebag so you could imagine When, not If, but WHEN I go to my first show I'll come back here in the future and tell you how it went 👍👍👍
I'm non white and I've been on many concerts and festivals, not at least Sweden Rock Festival several times. It has never been a problem. Although, I don't know how metal community looks like overseas but over here in Europe (at least in Sweden) I've never stumbled upon any racism at all at these events.. not even from those who are kinda racist. But that might be because the racism over here is more towards culture rather than skin colour. The only time I get problem with racism are from racist people who also hates metal and rock music. :P
+Fjesing "But as a freaking human being, how could I not applaud, support and spread this." Because I do not support the idea of policing a genre and boycotting music with ideologies I disagree with. If we let this kind of mentality of ruining musicians lives because they said something wrong go further, art in general, not just metal, or music, will become a hugbox of the same opinions and messages continuously circlejerked.
+Ninjastyle124 C'mon man all art is criticized, metal should not be immune to that, no matter the topic. Plus this video isn't going to stop artists doing whatever the hell they want to do. It's simply support because you agree with the problem, or you don't support because you disagree with the problem.
Doug Pinnick plays bass and sings in King’s X. He was at Dimebash. He’s also black. And came out as gay back in 1998. We called him to ask about the interaction he had with Anselmo before Phil went onstage: “Yeah, Phil kissed me,” Pinnick laughs. “I hadn’t seen him since Dime was killed, but I walked backstage and he got up, hugged me as hard as he could and whispered in my ear, ‘You are the greatest human being I’ve ever known.’ That’s just how he is. He’s over the top about everything. I love that guy.” Not that Pinnick condones Anselmo’s actions onstage that night. “He shouldn’t have done it. I can’t stick up for what he said. I think he was trying to be funny and controversial, but he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body. I know people say, ‘How can you do something like that as a joke?’ But you gotta know Phil and his sarcasm. He got shit on for it, and rightfully so, but the backlash he got was a little bit over the top, I think. These people that are saying all these horrible things about him, they don’t know him. He’s branded a racist forever now, probably. That’ll be part of his résumé. But I hope he can recover from it and continue making music.”
The issue here is that Phil is not a comedian, and our current political climate is very tense. Even if what he said was a joke, there are a lot of people within the metal scene that support extremists views, and when Phil said that on stage he enabled said people. Was the backlash over the top? Maybe, but he learned a very important lesson the hard way.
@@bravo075 Extreme views, extremist? You didn't seen extreme my friend, come to war zones in Europe, Asia. Your "problems" in USA are a diaper change where I live.
you do realize how stupid you sound. thats like saying im not racist i have a black friend. jesus christ. you probably enjoy the seig heil and white power statement. you know we used to have a national past time of stomping nazis into the dirt.
@@bravo075shit, I'm all against cancel culture and more to the right wing of politics but the backlash should have been way bigger. Pantera today opens for Metallica and plays on the biggest festivals. Varg left Mayhem decades ago, the band today is completely different people, but they still have that fame. Phil says this shit and 5 years later everyone is ok with this?
FLOWER rock and roll was originally, but metal was created by 4 white guys from Birmingham, England although they were obviously influenced by the African American blues artists who came before them
+steven perez henriquez What would be the point? Anselmo is an ignorant white supremacist. Better to address the community about why this is unacceptable.
it´s doesn´t have anything to do with race, just merely opinions, and we cannot condemned someone for his opinion, even if we disagree, we must hear the point, not start a witch hunt.
if we condemn someone without hearing it we´re just like inquisitors, and if we are not agree with them we must hear what they are saying, their reasons and motivations, everybody has this right. If you are white, black, hispanic, asian, let´s hear about why do you support one cause and not another? where is the capacity of dialogue if we not even give a chance for discussion?
I've been a metalhead since my gateway drug of Iron Maiden was introduced to me as a teenager. Luckily, I've always experienced good things - as far as my experience goes, metalheads are very inclusive, tolerant people. BTW - saw you guys in Bristol, UK a few years ago - awesome gig.
Metal and Punk rock have both been an awesome avenue for everyone of every color that’s always been a misfit and found a home in the community we’ve built.
This statement is really really untrue. I love metal but I don't think it loves me back. So I make metal that will love everyone. That is my mission as a player of music.
@@slaythembeforeme None of them have any relevance or acceptance to punk. During the 80s when there was overlap punk shows were warzones and the racists got their teeth knocked out, most bands from that era wrote songs making their stance against racism in the very clear as well. One of the first patches you put on a punk vest is some sort of antiswas so you don't get you ass kicked because you shaved your head. You'd get your ass kicked if you put that on a metal vest, not at at every show but it would absolutely happen at some point. One genre literally stomped it out and made it completely unacceptable behavior. Now it's no longer even a minor concern at any punk show or event, the racist niche doesn't even try to cause trouble for punk shows anymore because they'll just get beat up for the effort. Metal doesn't have that barrier or hard line stance against fascism. All that really means is a metal fan has to put way more effort into the bands they like and support than a punk would. If you're a fascist punk you go over to your corner and stay there, if you're not then the genres wide open for you. For metal you might have a Pantera tattoo because their music got you through high school but now you can't listen them anymore.
I'm a teen metalhead and racism in this community has always been a reason I kept my taste to myself. I'm so glad you're speaking about it!! Music has the power to unite thousands of people and no matter the race, sexuality, religion everyone should be welcome!!
@@romanbetenya4371 so if racism is a problem in half of Metal's circles, who then is the gatekeeping twat? You twit turds who don't do anything to call it out or ban it?
I’ve been around the metal community for around 15 years now and I’ve never once witnessed an ounce of racism or sexism or any kind of hatred towards anyone or anything. I know a lot of great people in and around the scene that don’t tolerate that sort of thing and simply just don’t believe in it.
As much as I agree with Flynn on the anti-racism issue, no one who put out 'The Burning Red' and 'Supercharger' can be "one of the realest guys out there." No disrespect to OP intended. :-)
@@skalamaz3 first of all it takes balls in the first place to get on TH-cam n admit ur own faults n shortcomings it doesn't take a tough guy to put on blinders to ur own screw ups
this was nothing but a promo stunt for his shitty band which will always be viewed as a sloppy and sluggish attempt at copying pantera. like the other guy said, just virtue signaling for clout
@@eknim Machinehead sound NOTHING like Pantera, also Robb did way more for Metal than Dime, he's been around since the god damn 80's in bands like Forbidden band Vio-lence. Lmao at shitty and sluggish, Dime had sloppy ass rhythm playing live being drink every night, Flynn is one of Metal's tightest rhythm players of all-time, probably more than Hetfield and Mustaine.
+Owneador1337 There is Sjw bullshit, but then there is this. Racism doesn't belong in any music genre, or anywhere for that matter. Stop trying to be an edgy fucking deuchebag.
***** And the issue is indeed as you say "let him be a fucking bigot, who cares". There's an uproar because people indeed care. I'm not sure the kind of person you are, but we thankfully have some white people who are stepping up and outwardly distancing themselves from that racist mentality. For those that just sit by and let it be, that only perpetuates the problem; I mean if someone is about to go on a murder spree, do you sit by and watch since you're not the target, or do you stop that kind of person in his/her tracks from perpetuating whatever radical ideologies they have?
Can you imagine being a young black kid who just got into metal and somebody brought you to see that show and was telling you how cool it was and you were all into it and happy and couldn't get over this awesome new music that you were finding out about? Only to have Phil at the end of the show do that right in front of your face?
We've got no time to lose Your news is old news Hate this, hate me, hate this Right approach for the wrong It's time to spread the word Let the voice be heard All of us, one of us, all of us Dominate and take the motherfucking world Mass prediction, unification Breathing life into out lungs Every creed and every kind To give us depth for strength it's time to rise, fuck these judgemental stay home and fuck around bitches.
Im black and have been listening to and playing metal for years. Im shocked. Jeff Hanneman(Slayer) handled that challenge masterfully. He rejected it and never let ppl wonder where his heart truly was.
Its phoney. See the pics of Robb sieg heiling with Hanneman and Anselmo. I know him too. He's a fucking politicking phoney who can write a riff. The minute he was able to make himself look good, he jumped on it. Anselmo is an idiot too, but this is Robb being a full on opportunist. Its gross.
Let Phil Anselmo be a racist. He is a nobody in reality....he thinks he's fighting a race war, but he's already lost. America is becoming more racially diverse and in the future everyone is going to be brown 😂
The clip in the beginning is pretty funny, I can totally relate to that guys sense of humor. Your video, however, is feces. Offensive humor isn't "racism", and why would metal take consideration to offended peoples feelings? Creating offence has always been an aspect of metal, you think that all those bands using satanic symbols were satanists? No, they used it solely for the sake of offending. Why should one form of offence be allowed, and the other not? You're talking about how people would react if Nickelback or Justin Bieber would do something like this, and that really sums up how clueless you are about your own genre. Shitty mainstream pop music is based on the idea of staying safe so you can be marketable. Metal is about taking out the edges. Just because you tried downplaying the term "social justice warrior" doesn't make you less ignorant and over-sensitive.
+Angry Foreigner You can tell Phil's nazi salute wasn't a joke because he look for a poor ass excuse to cover it up. If he legitimate made it as a joke, he would've said "It's a fucking dark joke." Not "Oh, yeah, I was drinking white wine so the joke's about alcohol."
Black dude from the bay here. Appreciate how real you kept it. I’ve never felt welcome at metal shows because of bs like this. It sucks to see how metal fans just shrug it off like racism is somehow “edgy”. Fuck that. I’ll be streaming machine heads catalogue. Thx!
I'm calling bullshit on that. Rap has much more of a racism problem than metal. I mean people up to and including Dr. Dre say anti-white racist shit. I don't know of any racist metal bands.
Yeah sucks, but if you are really objective about it you will realize rap is very racist to whites and whites dont bitch about it. Its just the way music works. Its not ok its just the way it is.
@@Illumirage fuck that bullshit man. Just cause you think someone’s being racist to you doesn’t mean it’s ok to turn around and be racist yourself. Fuck that bullshit metal should be a welcoming community for everyone, not just people who look like you. If the rap scene wants that shit in their scene that’s up to them but we choose what goes on in ours and I don’t know about everyone else but fuck that bullshit I don’t want to be a part of a scene where there’s a place for racism. No more excuses.
I despise racism, we're all here on the same planet, the planet has no natural Borders it's as simple as that. proud to see such a respected metal front man standing up for equality
Phils a racist, as much as I love pantera as musicians I can't say I respect them, If that's the main argument you've got you might as well not comment back because your point is irrelevant to what I'm trying to say, in some people's eyes rob is respected just because you don't like him doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same as you
Rob got DEATH THREATS for posting this! I believe there's a time and place for politics in music, but you can't say that metal doesn't have a racism problem. Death threats - for calling out Nazi imagery. It's time to call a spade a spade
Nazis dont pretend they were drinking wine. Anselmo is just a racist piece of shit that doesn't want accountability, he wants mainstream metal appeal but not to be held responsible for the things he says or do.
Lost respect for Phil years ago? You must be kidding. I sure hope you dont respect a ton of other bands like Metallica priest Sabbath zeppelin etc. All filled with true scumbags.
Integrity101 don’t care for them as well. Phil has done a lot of dumb ass shit over the years and saying that crap and saying “ it’s a white wine joke” got to be kidding me. At least own it when you do a dumb ass thing like that.
@@addictionsininktattoosandp4158 He owned it over 4 years ago. Where have u been? Living under a rock? Also there was a white wine joke and its been confirmed by witnesses but that was only part of what happened. Its been nearly half a decade do you have any clue what happened? This is old news, everyone that cared looked into it already
I'm not a Metal fan, but I've lived 60+ years on this planet as a black woman who has eclectic taste in music. I like rock, pop, r&b, jazz, classical, folk, and country music. That being said, I seldom went to a concert where the majority of the audience was white. As a black fan of The Eagles (as an example), I might have bought their records but didn't attend a single concert due to the fact that I could have been harassed or worse, assaulted. We know there are places we're not welcomed and that weighs heavy with us. Racists muddy the waters of what should be the right of every human being--to enjoy the music they love. I thought we would have gotten over the divisive crap by now.Thanks for your honest commentary.
Lol. Same with white ppl who are the ones who make black rappers the millionares they are by 90%. A lot of white ppl dont attend hip hop concerts for obvious reasons and thats not racist, that's just reality and wanting to be safe from the most violent race on planet .. more facts, but i know, i know, it's all racist. All i did was throw your comment back, but mine would have a lot more validity .. at least 12 times more. More facts, but i know ..
I’ve definitely avoided going to a lot of shows being a mixed woman (black/hispanic) because I know I will be the minority at most. I probably wouldn’t be in too much danger these days at most but it definitely feels uncomfortable being worried people will stare or say something
It's actually the other way around. If you'd country were how you're describing it you wouldn't live here. We're much more likely to be victimized by you than the other way around. 8x more to be specific
Okay, go bash slayer and all these other bands for the offensive shit they say in their music... Everyone is Just jealous that pantera is better and more popular than all these stupid bands.
I don't think I can thank you enough for speaking out against s*** like this. I feel like I can totally relate to the song. this is something I have to worry about every time I want to meet someone else who likes metal because of how often it happens in the metal community... and to have someone like you to be on side against all of the white supremacist crap that people can't seem to grow out of, it truely a gift. A lot of people just don't get it but I'm glad you do.
I don't know how to word this any different then the way I'm going to say it...but...I think it's bad ass when people other than white people listen to metal. mostly because when people think of metal heads, it's skinny white guys with long ass hair wearing all black. I like knowing all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds all over the world listen to the same kind of music as me.
+Metallic Death do you really want to talk about racism in music because I honestly take offense to what you said being a Metalhead , you worry about meeting other metalheads because you think we're going to be racist because it's in the medical community really let's talk about that shall we , what genre all of music actually has songs talking about killing white people ? that would be Hip Hop I'm not saying that Phil is not an asshole for saying what he did but for someone to sit here and try to demonize the metal community for one-man statement is disgusting it's not like we don't have a bad name already thanks to people outside of the metal community thinking you a bunch of unintelligent neanderthal who only cares about partying taking drugs and destroying shit , to me hip hop is the most disgusting racist music there is it talks about killing cops killing white people it degrades women it promotes violence against the very people who listen to it if anybody should be in protest of any kind of music it should be that garbage , I have been a fan of Pantera for as long as I can remember and I will continue to support the band that doesn't mean that I agree with Phil's statement it simply means I enjoy the Music Pantera produces so yeah I find your comments disgusting and honestly I find this video to have him sit here and talk about white people have never been oppressed by blacks that Its okay for them to go around and scream Black Power someone really needs a history lesson because white people who lived in Africa was oppressed by the blacks there so if anything is a black eye to metal is this video and his statements fuck it I'm done if you reply or not I don't care this shit just makes me sick
Well were looking at if from two different perspectives. There are still people in power who don't give people of color the same opportunities. I don't know your story and you don't know mine but I know that my life experiences would've been different if I were born white. If you watch the news, when a person of color does something, they are identified by that race. So its harder for us to do something and be judged individually. I know I always take responsibility for my actions. I cant even tell you how much racism I've seen on the internet. I'm not expecting you to understand because you'll never see it that way. This stuff builds up and you see patterns, but there's always going to be someone on the other side to say "well no its not..." All I want is for the racist crap to stop on all sides. But if you're a good person and not racist, I have nothing against you.
Metallic Death honestly the mainstream media is one of the biggest problems they twist stories to try to turn everybody against one another , you're right you don't know my story and I don't know yours but a lot of people jump to the conclusion that I'm White just because I speak out against stuff like this when in fact I'm actually Native American so being white does not factor into the equation for me I simply speak out against stupidity, And what I mean about speaking out against stupidity has nothing to do with racism itself but has everything to do with people who like to label other people and try to claim that someone who listens to metal is inherently racist all that metal itself has a racial undertone but yet they do not speak out against all the problems that American citizens are actually facing, Just like Morgan Freeman was asked in an interview by Mike Wallace I believe it was what was his solution to racism and his answer was stop talking about it he's going to ask people to stop calling him a black man and in return He will stop calling other people a white man I'm not saying racism does not exist because it does but it's not just one nationality that is racist it goes across the board there's equal blame to go around , If we as a people want to see a change in what's going on then we need to be that change we need to set the example for other people in the hopes that they will actually follow that example, I'm not going to refer to you as a black girl I'm simply going to refer to you as a person and as a individual I don't judge , A entire race on based on the actions of a small minority of that nationality but unfortunately what's actually been going on lately is every white person is being called guilty of racism based on the actions of a small group of people can you honestly say that's fair ? People like to hold on to the Past and try to use what happened hundreds of years ago as an excuse for their actions today like they are actually being oppressed but in my opinion if you look around that's just a false statement because like I said everybody is presented with equal opportunity no matter what gender or race you are it's up to you as an individual what you do with that opportunity if you do not make something of yourself if you do not better your situation then that blame falls on you as an individual no one else, And you talk about the news anytime I have cut the TV on all I see it's a bunch of people who claim blacklivesmatter while attacking other people solely based on the color of their skin they attack and murder cops why was screaming out the names of criminals , But yet you do not see those people protesting all the murder and crime that actually takes place in their neighborhood that is committed by people of their own nationality no they'd much rather protect those people but drug dealers and the criminals and the wannabe gangsters they'd much rather hold up hip-hop stars like there's some kind of Idol, Instead of actually striving to be something more than that everybody is always so quick to blame somebody else for the decisions they decide to make in their life they do not want to accept responsibility and be held accountable for their actions so they tried to place their problems on to a different race and accuse them of being racist, And then in the same breath claim that black people cannot be racist but anybody who has common sense and does not live in denial knows that statement to be a lie as I stated previously and this post every nationality has racist in it but to judge that an entire race of people by the actions of very few , Is deplorable nobody can justify racism nobody can justify what happened to the African American people hundreds of years ago, Just like nobody can justify what happened to my people but I do not go around pissed off at the world I do not go around hating every single white person what happened to my ancestors at the hands of their ancestors it would be stupid for me to do something like that that would make me a racist in the end everybody has their own opinion and they have their own beliefs I'm just one person I'm not going to change the world by myself and I'll probably have it changed your view on the world or how it works and I really don't know what else to say other than have a nice day and I hope one day people in this world will stop hating each other and realize we all have to live on the same planet so it's best if we just accept each other for Who We Are as a person and try to make the best out of the time that we actually have here because life is too short to be angry all the time
Phil Anselmo was banned from Austria because of this, therefore he made a double concert in Budapest. Thank you for everybody who canceled him so I could enjoy two concerts isntead of one.🤘
I'm a fan of rock music I love the old school metallica albums, I love Motörhead. And I'm non white. It's fucking sad that Phil had to disrespect the rock art with fascist war cries. Fela Kuti , Bob Marley and Rage against the machine used music as a weapon for social change and to better society. I hope someone would give Phil a book by Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky and snatch the mein kampf from his hands.
+SanJuanCreole Noam Chompsky? Jewish Bolsheviks like Noam killed more people than Hitler did. Actually read a history book. All of the bands you mentioned just ripped on white people. Oh, so cleaver, tolerant, and progressive.
+Josh Smith Noam Chomsky was never a Bolshevik lmao in fact he's a anarcho-communist. Go read he's book on Anarchism he's very critical on Russian State Capitalism i.e. Ussr. Also why do all bolshevik have to be Jewish? Who made this about Jewish People. The Bands I mentioned attacked Imperialism and Social injustice. Yea Bob Marley really ripped on white people when he's half white Lmao "oh brother" . Go Read "Wretched Of the Earth" by Frantz Fanon "It really shouldn't matter" but hey it's written by a black Frenchmen .
+SanJuanCreole oh, here we go with another commie that thinks a diluted form of communism can save the world. I swear, it seams like I can't click on any video on youtube without someone boasting a flawed system like communism or its corrupt offspring. Yeah, you will get to phil alright by getting him to put down mein kampf in favor of Chomsky or Gramsci or [ insert whatever brainwashed commie author of your chosing ]. Talk about replacing a broken light buld with another broken light bulb.
Jeremy Morris Another Capitalist , who distorts the facts, There was no actual communism, It was quasi- Socialism at first then turned into State capitalism under a red flag..plain and simple.. Capitalism isn't the Worlds liberator.. oh brother why is this so hard to understand. nothing was broken when it never actually took place. Can we Agree that Fascism is a fucked up system and ideology?
Yeah, why aren't there any white advocacy groups? Everyone else gets one..... But it's racist if I do what everyone else does? wtf is wrong w/ this country?
it's fucking hilarious, phil anselmo joking around then someone who used to be racist moralising like a hypocrite on video as his band goes down the shitter.
Great video mate! Thank you so much for your bravery. This simply isn't the day and age for racism of any sort to be acceptable. If you disagree with that then you are part of the problem.
This is EXACTLY why I love you and Machine Head. You're not afraid to say it how it is. This is a perfect summation of why Phil was absolutely wrong. The metal community lets a lot of bullshit fly that boggles my mind. Thank you for saying something.
Love you guys then and now and forever!! Helped get me and my sons and my wife through the pandemic lockdowns for sure!! I was in the USMC when y’all dropped Burning Red and it went right in the mixer with burn my eyes and more things change just like unhallowed recently hit the playlist!! I’ve been running and working out to you guys and metal and rap since I was 14 and all I want to say is Machine Freakin’ Head!!
It's one thing to not be into a band because you're just not into their sound.. But to say it's solidified by the stupid action of one member, 15 years after the band split? For 1, he is only 1 band members, none of the others have ever done anything that seemed racist; Dime especially was known as one of the friendliest, most down to earth musicians/person you'd ever meet... didn't matter who you were or where you were from. Phil has had his douche moments, but I don't think he's truly racist.. he usually treated fans in other countries around the world pretty much like American fans, and he's probably performed with some musicians that weren't white. At the same time some people, especially from the south, can seem somewhat racist due to the environment they grew up in and how their parents were. I don't think it was right that he did that, but he also was drunk and people do dumb shit. The fact he says he'll never play another Pantera song because of something the former singer did, I think is absolutely ridiculous and stupid. It'd be one thing if the whole band encouraged racism.
EricJh21690 I've been playing with a band for many years, still officially a "band" now, even though we rarely play anymore unless someone contacts us and asks us to play a "reunion" show. We're a 3 member band with a strong political message. If one of the other members turned out to be a racist, there would cease to be a band. Being in a band is a friendship, but it goes even beyond typical friendships. You don't have to always agree on *everything* ... but you can't have a band consisting of a communist, a nazi, a muslim and a guy from the john birch society. You have to be relatively like-minded, and you have to decide what your band stands for as a whole. When one member of the band is saying things publicly (for YEARS on end, this was NOT the first time Anselmo made racist remarks, just the first time he shouted "WHITE POWER!!!" on stage in front of cameras) that are against what you (the other members) believe and want your band to stand for, you tell that member to fuck off. If you DO NOT get rid of the member who is publicly making statements like these, people will rightly assume that he is just saying what the whole band thinks, and when you continue to play in a band with this person, you are implicitly endorsing the things he says. He isn't some guy named Phil, he is "Phil Anselmo of the band Pantera." It's the company you keep, and yes, it is fair-game.
***** Lol, "racist slam." As a person with pearly white skin, I found Dark Star Transmissions's gentle jabs to be funny and downright antithetical to racism.
So refreshing to see this after everyone giving Phil a pass. Pantera makes some great music and wanted to see them live on their final tour but I’m hesitating now. I don’t think I could get this incident off the back of my mind while I’m there
you're an idiot. phil is doing the same thing BLM did. you little cuck. phil has been doing this for years, talking about how its okay for blacks and hispanics to be proud, but if a white guy says hes proud to be white, its racism. phil wouldnt want you as a fan, you're a little moron. go hide in your safe space, if you ever experienced real racism.. what would you do? what would you do if you seen people murdering other people due to their race? because youve never seen that, so stfu. the KKK has a measly 5,000 members, racism is dead. phil is proud to be white. if that upsets you, cool. no one gives a shit, especially not phil. you're on here telling the worst guitar player in metal that hes refreshing.. because hes piling on phil anselmo over something phil never meant. again.. phil is not racist. he finds it disgusting that other races promote themselves.. but if a white person says it.. then this happens.. you have clowns like rob flynn trying to bring his shit band out of the ashes by bad mouthing phil. let me say this again, machine head has never been good and everyone knows it. rob needs to disappear instead of throwing people under the bus to try to stay relevant. what a loser.

He's just exerting his freedom of speech, nothing else. Stop whining and, if you disagree with him, do what a wise man would and ignore him. Stop making a tantrum out of it. Banning words and be politically correct makes people complacent and not have opinions on their own besides "following the official opinion".
+Las Desventuras de Virus Freedom of speech doesn't free you from ridicule for fucks sake. Quit getting butthurt that a racist troglodyte is being called out for being a racist troglodyte.
+Swef Jeff Ridicule is a subtle way to censor you know. It leads to have an "official opinion" running out, and that "official opinion" becomes, with time the only opinion. Diversity in points of view is what makes us strong debaters, and even if I don't agree with other's opinion, I am nobody to stop them to have it. I can criticize it with arguments, because debate makes us strong and lead to a consense. But ridicule makes all the contrary, making you suppose you have a superior point of view, and that's going against diversity, removing all instances of discussion. If you want to discuss this, please try to use less buzzwords next time.
+milekhh Obviously there's some respect for both parts needed to a civilized conversation to begin. We all can have polemic opinions that can offend others, but the idea is that we put that aside instead of making a wall and make them taboo. We humans become stronger by facing unpleasant situations. And about that, it doesn't matter what demographics get affected by those words. It's just anecdotal, just like in a Capitalist country people sent condolencies to Kim Jong Un. (That happened) "I do not agree with your opinion, but I'd give my life to your right to express it."
reflect462 That's why I was shocked! Type O Negative is my childhood band and they don't exist anymore unfortunately, and Johnny is presumably my childhood drummer so there you have it.
+Yves Heinrich Yea he's the shit. He plays with Danzig now. I think he was trying to pull Phil offstage to prevent him from saying/doing any more dumb shit.

Metal music runs through my blood. Machine head is one of my favourite bands. I stand tall with you robb. Even tho this is 4 years ago its still relevant.
@@osssshhh12 Great reply EINSTEIN. Robb Flynn got called out the very morning he made this video because he was bitching and whining to Rita Haney about Philip before this even took place. Everyone in the know has known for decades that Robb has some weird obsession with Anselmo. ANSELMO isnt racist at all. Its PATHETIC people are so dumb nowadays they think they know everything about someone after seeing a 5 second clip. All adults, that actually care about this, looked into it and realized Anselmo made a stupid drunken mistake but clearly he isnt a hateful bigoted man at all. Its sad how PATHETIC the metal community is now
Integrity101 ok well thats your opinion. Shouting white power is a stupid thing to do. “To a load of white ppl” go shout that to a load of black ppl and see what happens. Its a shit thing to do. Enjoy the music mate. Thats all im here for the music.
@@osssshhh12 Phil did something stupid i agree. He even agrees that it was dumb and he apologized for it. The truth is the man is not some white supremacist at all. Its laughable. He was being heckled all night long while trying to celebrate the life of a murdered friend. He is on video condemning white power groups long before any accusations. This all started when he shaved his head and looked the part. He has been very open in interviews.
+Felipe holy shit? she turns around to tell her friend what he said and then the video stops perfectly before you can see her turn around. Most likely because she was laughing
Hey Robb, I still remember february 17th 2010 you was on tour with Hatebreed in Dresden, Germany on this day. There was a big protest of Neo-Nazis in town and complete chaos. Your fans gathered on the train station just to get one taxi cab after another because no busses or trams where out to the venue.. the whole city was full of Nazis. I was there early but even when Hatebreed played the venue wasn't near half full.. You were aware. You noticed it. You went out on stage and told us that you won't start playing until everyone arrived, because no "dickheads" will ruin this evening for someone. I having nothing but respect, Sir.
Well said Sir!! The metal community needs more of this. Metal started as a place for the disaffected to come together. This should be the most inclusive community out there. Call them all out and continue to call them all out. Fuck all intolerance.
I love this video. I'm an old black metalhead, and he's right; shit like this is all too acceptable in the metal world. I can't count the number of shows I've left early due to very real concerns, and I won't even get started on the number of shows that, tbh, I just knew better than to go to. I know what a puke Phil is, but I would have loved to see them back on the Vulgar Display tour. But I knew better. Fuck man, if we could all come together, metal would take over the world! Look at Dethklok (I say half jokingly)! The love of metal knows no color, but it's a fucking shame that unfortunately the community does all too well. There are shows I'd love to go to. Really really love (I'm looking at you, Black Metal), but I'll just stay away for now. Maybe my boys won't have to worry about it as they grow up. But for now, I'm afraid that I still "know better" when I'm picking my shows
@@integrity101 he might not be a racist in the sense of hatred towards other races but he says some ignorant shxt. I've seen the actual video and know it's taken out of context but you gotta be a true idiot to give the nazi salute and yell white power on stage.
@Frank Rizzo Saying Phil isn't racist is like saying water doesn't make things wet. Dude is as racist as the day is long. If throwing around nazi salutes and giving white pride/white power speeches doesn't make you racist then what does???
Cool. I hope you daughter has a bunch of black babies, and you have to live with yourself. And support them cause hey, it’s not like daddy will. Loser.
@@andrej7840 LOL all the non-White people are super special "minorities", even though they are the overwhelming majority population in the world. White people are only 11% of the world's population, yet we get no special minority rights...
Racism means differentiating the various races of men and understanding evolution guaranteed our differences and situational strengths. Nothing wrong with defending your own people and preventing their extinction. "Racism" was coined in order to draw hate towards such defenders.
I don't think a non-racist would perform a nazi salute and yell "white power" into the crowd. If you want to keep living in the delusion that he is not racist, feel free to do so.
"This not a racist song. Its about everyone being equal yet some of us are constantly told we are no good, for no one. Phil’s take on this mentality is that, these laughed at fools will rise! In other words, no matter what creed or colour, don’t let anything or anyone put you down and tell you your no good. If you have determination, you will rise past it all. It’s a very empowering song. "
Robb thank you so much for your support in this! I have gotten so much hate in this it is ridiculous. It is amazing to see you come out in support of me! You put on an amazing show! Thank you again Robb =)

Cool beans! Good on them.
It's funny how the Phil supporters always bring up him apologising. He has spent the years since whining about cancel culture in just about every interview he has been a part of.
Phil and any other sensible human being should be rallying against cancel culture. I’m more shocked that some still support it
@@brianmeen2158 I guess that what depend on what is considered part of cancel culture. I'm not a fan of the organized activism and doxxing and shit like that but there are consequences for saying stupid shit. I also don't see how Phil Anselmo has by any objective measure been "cancelled". He got called out by his fans for his stupid behavior. He apologized after the initial reaction against him but he seems to have walked that back in interviews after with constant gripes about cancel culture as if he is the victim here. The dude is still very much visible in 2024, he hasn't been erased.
@@shaunsmith7503 Yes he's very much visible in 2024, and why is that? Because for one he committed no crime and has paid his due over this indiscretion. Much more horrific tragedies in the world to worry about. And he's on point about cancel culture! Why is he made such a scapegoat, while others questionable misdoings get pushed under the rug?
@@sassydoe9407 Scapegoat for what? He got called out for his shitty behavior. He isn't being punished, he hasn't been cancelled. Keep up with the whataboutism, sure ...there are others out there worthy of criticism as well but that doesn't mean he gets off scot-free.
@@sassydoe9407When they’re not “pushed under the rug,” bitches whine about being “canceled.”
Phil Anselmo is just misunderstood, his arm was hurting due to the fact that he was holding that heavy microphone in his hands for the whole concert and he needed to stretch his arm (those things are fucking heavy). Then, as nowadays everybody does, he was just doing some product placement for helping his drug-dealer friend out. In fact he was screaming "white powder", which he very much enjoys with white wine.

That was the one area of the video I really disagreed with. "[White men aren't oppressed by black people, therefore they shouldn't say they are proud of their color]"? I understand where he was trying to go with it, but he really lacked some fucking eloquence with that one. Again, most of his points are very well made but this is why I don't turn to some fuckin metal guy I respect for opinions on issues/current events etc.

I'm black and I love metal and rock! I appreciate this video so much. As a teen in the late 80s and early 90s I was always apprehensive to go to metal shows because of the racists and was always analyzing lyrics because I'd be mortified if I was enjoying some song with racist lyrics. It really sucked!
How much racism did you encounter? I am your age and have similar experience. But apart from tossing Manowar out of my collection I never had any issues. I loved Sodom, Kreator, Accept, Metallica, etc. There wasn t any racism in my scene. But yes, the problem obviously exists.
I really like your attitude. I can imagine quite a few people had a struggle like yours, but I was spared.
because of the racists? what? figment of your imagination. can you give me some concrete examples of racist lyrics of prominent metal bands?
@@Illumirage Does eg Iced Earth ring a bell to you?
@No One - Nah. I’d say you are.

I'm non white and I've been on many concerts and festivals, not at least Sweden Rock Festival several times. It has never been a problem. Although, I don't know how metal community looks like overseas but over here in Europe (at least in Sweden) I've never stumbled upon any racism at all at these events.. not even from those who are kinda racist. But that might be because the racism over here is more towards culture rather than skin colour. The only time I get problem with racism are from racist people who also hates metal and rock music. :P
Not a Machine Head fan as such. But as a freaking human being, how could I not applaud, support and spread this.
+Fjesing
"But as a freaking human being, how could I not applaud, support and spread this."
Because I do not support the idea of policing a genre and boycotting music with ideologies I disagree with. If we let this kind of mentality of ruining musicians lives because they said something wrong go further, art in general, not just metal, or music, will become a hugbox of the same opinions and messages continuously circlejerked.
+Ninjastyle124 C'mon man all art is criticized, metal should not be immune to that, no matter the topic. Plus this video isn't going to stop artists doing whatever the hell they want to do.

@@Aubry92 There is no problem. Anselmo is not a racist.
@@grandoldone2552: Anselmo is not racist. He just loves racism.
@@AlexAlexon3897 Nope. He's openly said everyone should be proud of who they are. He just includes white people.
Doug Pinnick plays bass and sings in King’s X. He was at Dimebash. He’s also black. And came out as gay back in 1998. We called him to ask about the interaction he had with Anselmo before Phil went onstage: “Yeah, Phil kissed me,” Pinnick laughs. “I hadn’t seen him since Dime was killed, but I walked backstage and he got up, hugged me as hard as he could and whispered in my ear, ‘You are the greatest human being I’ve ever known.’ That’s just how he is. He’s over the top about everything. I love that guy.”
Not that Pinnick condones Anselmo’s actions onstage that night. “He shouldn’t have done it. I can’t stick up for what he said. I think he was trying to be funny and controversial, but he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body. I know people say, ‘How can you do something like that as a joke?’ But you gotta know Phil and his sarcasm. He got shit on for it, and rightfully so, but the backlash he got was a little bit over the top, I think. These people that are saying all these horrible things about him, they don’t know him. He’s branded a racist forever now, probably. That’ll be part of his résumé. But I hope he can recover from it and continue making music.”
The issue here is that Phil is not a comedian, and our current political climate is very tense.
Even if what he said was a joke, there are a lot of people within the metal scene that support extremists views, and when Phil said that on stage he enabled said people.
Was the backlash over the top? Maybe, but he learned a very important lesson the hard way.

You're the man. Davidian is still the heaviest song outro ever.
I've been a metalhead since my gateway drug of Iron Maiden was introduced to me as a teenager. Luckily, I've always experienced good things - as far as my experience goes, metalheads are very inclusive, tolerant people. BTW - saw you guys in Bristol, UK a few years ago - awesome gig.
That's mad my gateway band was iron maiden which then branched out to many other bands
Guys, totally the same with Maiden (Number of the Beast) was my first song in 1989.
Except paintera and axel rose
Are you white?
Metal and Punk rock have both been an awesome avenue for everyone of every color that’s always been a misfit and found a home in the community we’ve built.
No
This statement is really really untrue. I love metal but I don't think it loves me back. So I make metal that will love everyone. That is my mission as a player of music.
Punk, absolutely.. Metal, not so much.. I wish it were true, but it's just not.. I fucking love metal, but racism has always had a seat at the table..
You're really going to pretend white power Punk bands haven't been around since forever?
@@slaythembeforeme None of them have any relevance or acceptance to punk. During the 80s when there was overlap punk shows were warzones and the racists got their teeth knocked out, most bands from that era wrote songs making their stance against racism in the very clear as well. One of the first patches you put on a punk vest is some sort of antiswas so you don't get you ass kicked because you shaved your head. You'd get your ass kicked if you put that on a metal vest, not at at every show but it would absolutely happen at some point.
One genre literally stomped it out and made it completely unacceptable behavior. Now it's no longer even a minor concern at any punk show or event, the racist niche doesn't even try to cause trouble for punk shows anymore because they'll just get beat up for the effort.
Metal doesn't have that barrier or hard line stance against fascism. All that really means is a metal fan has to put way more effort into the bands they like and support than a punk would. If you're a fascist punk you go over to your corner and stay there, if you're not then the genres wide open for you. For metal you might have a Pantera tattoo because their music got you through high school but now you can't listen them anymore.
Metal is for and against one race.
The entire human race.
Wise Ferret You have th-cam.com/video/cxQk3DC3gL0/w-d-xo.html where Phil says exactly that at some point.
No. Metal is for good music. That's it
The most metal thing I have ever heard
Damn straight and I'm black, dethklok has it right.
Metal is against human race o.O ????what the fuck you talking about,junky kid???
I have never once made a comment on anyone’s page. Thank you so much for having the balls and the courage to say and do what you just did
I'm a teen metalhead and racism in this community has always been a reason I kept my taste to myself. I'm so glad you're speaking about it!! Music has the power to unite thousands of people and no matter the race, sexuality, religion everyone should be welcome!!
That's right, we must welcome them all in our NS Metal brotherhood! No place for virtue signalling gatekeeping pussies like Flynn.
@@romanbetenya4371 so if racism is a problem in half of Metal's circles, who then is the gatekeeping twat? You twit turds who don't do anything to call it out or ban it?
That's not what metal is about. Metal is about standing for something
@@romanbetenya4371 lol you sound like a pussy lol
I’ve been around the metal community for around 15 years now and I’ve never once witnessed an ounce of racism or sexism or any kind of hatred towards anyone or anything. I know a lot of great people in and around the scene that don’t tolerate that sort of thing and simply just don’t believe in it.

***** And the issue is indeed as you say "let him be a fucking bigot, who cares". There's an uproar because people indeed care. I'm not sure the kind of person you are, but we thankfully have some white people who are stepping up and outwardly distancing themselves from that racist mentality. For those that just sit by and let it be, that only perpetuates the problem; I mean if someone is about to go on a murder spree, do you sit by and watch since you're not the target, or do you stop that kind of person in his/her tracks from perpetuating whatever radical ideologies they have?
Can you imagine being a young black kid who just got into metal and somebody brought you to see that show and was telling you how cool it was and you were all into it and happy and couldn't get over this awesome new music that you were finding out about? Only to have Phil at the end of the show do that right in front of your face?
This is the most cancerous comment section ever
I wish it were true.

Didn t Rob say that he called Phil out backstage? Not as much as he should have,.apparently.
Im black and have been listening to and playing metal for years. Im shocked. Jeff Hanneman(Slayer) handled that challenge masterfully. He rejected it and never let ppl wonder where his heart truly was.

Its phoney. See the pics of Robb sieg heiling with Hanneman and Anselmo.
I know him too. He's a fucking politicking phoney who can write a riff. The minute he was able to make himself look good, he jumped on it. Anselmo is an idiot too, but this is Robb being a full on opportunist. Its gross.
As a black woman I rock out to all types of music 🎶 👏🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾thank you for calling Phil Anselmo out on his BS!
Let Phil Anselmo be a racist. He is a nobody in reality....he thinks he's fighting a race war, but he's already lost.
America is becoming more racially diverse and in the future everyone is going to be brown 😂
I really don’t like Anselmo. I hate that he said that.
@SubArc Adventures Allegedly.
@SubArc Adventures Yeah, that's how I always respond to people being obnoxious: pretend to show support for a genocidal regime. Makes perfect sense.
Must be a liberal sheep. Nothing racist her except a low life loser like Flynn trying to make a name for himself
Thanks for saying what needs to be said!
Can’t stand people trying to gatekeep
The clip in the beginning is pretty funny, I can totally relate to that guys sense of humor. Your video, however, is feces. Offensive humor isn't "racism", and why would metal take consideration to offended peoples feelings?
Creating offence has always been an aspect of metal, you think that all those bands using satanic symbols were satanists? No, they used it solely for the sake of offending. Why should one form of offence be allowed, and the other not?
You're talking about how people would react if Nickelback or Justin Bieber would do something like this, and that really sums up how clueless you are about your own genre. Shitty mainstream pop music is based on the idea of staying safe so you can be marketable. Metal is about taking out the edges.
Just because you tried downplaying the term "social justice warrior" doesn't make you less ignorant and over-sensitive.
+Angry Foreigner I love your channel.. Much respect!
+Angry Foreigner Actually the usage of goat heads and such is not only to offend, a lot of bands and people in them have said otherwise.
+Angry Foreigner There is a different between being able to freely convey a message and freely convey stupid shit.
Good point
+Angry Foreigner You can tell Phil's nazi salute wasn't a joke because he look for a poor ass excuse to cover it up. If he legitimate made it as a joke, he would've said "It's a fucking dark joke." Not "Oh, yeah, I was drinking white wine so the joke's about alcohol."
Black dude from the bay here. Appreciate how real you kept it. I’ve never felt welcome at metal shows because of bs like this. It sucks to see how metal fans just shrug it off like racism is somehow “edgy”. Fuck that. I’ll be streaming machine heads catalogue. Thx!
I'm calling bullshit on that. Rap has much more of a racism problem than metal. I mean people up to and including Dr. Dre say anti-white racist shit. I don't know of any racist metal bands.
Yeah sucks, but if you are really objective about it you will realize rap is very racist to whites and whites dont bitch about it. Its just the way music works. Its not ok its just the way it is.
@@Illumirage fuck that bullshit man. Just cause you think someone’s being racist to you doesn’t mean it’s ok to turn around and be racist yourself. Fuck that bullshit metal should be a welcoming community for everyone, not just people who look like you. If the rap scene wants that shit in their scene that’s up to them but we choose what goes on in ours and I don’t know about everyone else but fuck that bullshit I don’t want to be a part of a scene where there’s a place for racism. No more excuses.
@Metal Monkey big time
In fact, can you give some examples of relevant racist metal bands if they're so plentiful?
I despise racism, we're all here on the same planet, the planet has no natural Borders it's as simple as that. proud to see such a respected metal front man standing up for equality
Respected? lol no.
Robb respected? he was THE JOKE when MH tried to be a nu metal band. Phil was one of the guys who treated them like the posers they are for it.
Phils a racist, as much as I love pantera as musicians I can't say I respect them, If that's the main argument you've got you might as well not comment back because your point is irrelevant to what I'm trying to say, in some people's eyes rob is respected just because you don't like him doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same as you
Gazza Harris None likes him.
"Phils a racist,"

I can't hold all of these opinions.
Looking forward to your racism in rap video, all 3 hours of it
Preach. Thank you. I'm 51 Blk love your music. THANK YOU!!!!
Rob got DEATH THREATS for posting this! I believe there's a time and place for politics in music, but you can't say that metal doesn't have a racism problem. Death threats - for calling out Nazi imagery. It's time to call a spade a spade
Nazis dont pretend they were drinking wine. Anselmo is just a racist piece of shit that doesn't want accountability, he wants mainstream metal appeal but not to be held responsible for the things he says or do.
That "S" word at the end is racist

Integrity101 don’t care for them as well. Phil has done a lot of dumb ass shit over the years and saying that crap and saying “ it’s a white wine joke” got to be kidding me. At least own it when you do a dumb ass thing like that.

This guy is one of the gayest, most feebly pathetic losers I’ve heard in some time.
I'm not a Metal fan, but I've lived 60+ years on this planet as a black woman who has eclectic taste in music. I like rock, pop, r&b, jazz, classical, folk, and country music. That being said, I seldom went to a concert where the majority of the audience was white. As a black fan of The Eagles (as an example), I might have bought their records but didn't attend a single concert due to the fact that I could have been harassed or worse, assaulted. We know there are places we're not welcomed and that weighs heavy with us. Racists muddy the waters of what should be the right of every human being--to enjoy the music they love. I thought we would have gotten over the divisive crap by now.Thanks for your honest commentary.
Lol. Same with white ppl who are the ones who make black rappers the millionares they are by 90%. A lot of white ppl dont attend hip hop concerts for obvious reasons and thats not racist, that's just reality and wanting to be safe from the most violent race on planet .. more facts, but i know, i know, it's all racist. All i did was throw your comment back, but mine would have a lot more validity .. at least 12 times more. More facts, but i know ..
I’ve definitely avoided going to a lot of shows being a mixed woman (black/hispanic) because I know I will be the minority at most. I probably wouldn’t be in too much danger these days at most but it definitely feels uncomfortable being worried people will stare or say something
It's actually the other way around. If you'd country were how you're describing it you wouldn't live here. We're much more likely to be victimized by you than the other way around. 8x more to be specific

Slayer and all these bands wear Nazi stuff on stage... All sorts of messed up lyrics in music. Who gives a fuck..
Who cares, neither is a lot of shit that metal bands do.. they're not here to be pc..... You all make racist jokes or say stupid shit...
I don't think I can thank you enough for speaking out against s*** like this. I feel like I can totally relate to the song. this is something I have to worry about every time I want to meet someone else who likes metal because of how often it happens in the metal community... and to have someone like you to be on side against all of the white supremacist crap that people can't seem to grow out of, it truely a gift. A lot of people just don't get it but I'm glad you do.
I don't know how to word this any different then the way I'm going to say it...but...I think it's bad ass when people other than white people listen to metal. mostly because when people think of metal heads, it's skinny white guys with long ass hair wearing all black.
I like knowing all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds all over the world listen to the same kind of music as me.
+TheLad Did you even read their comment? Reading must not have been your strength in school. Maybe you shouldn't have dropped out before 2nd grade.
+Metallic Death do you really want to talk about racism in music because I honestly take offense to what you said being a Metalhead , you worry about meeting other metalheads because you think we're going to be racist because it's in the medical community really let's talk about that shall we ,
what genre all of music actually has songs talking about killing white people ?
that would be Hip Hop I'm not saying that Phil is not an asshole for saying what he did but for someone to sit here and try to demonize the metal community for one-man statement is disgusting it's not like we don't have a bad name already thanks to people outside of the metal community thinking you a bunch of unintelligent neanderthal who only cares about partying taking drugs and destroying shit ,
to me hip hop is the most disgusting racist music there is it talks about killing cops killing white people it degrades women it promotes violence against the very people who listen to it if anybody should be in protest of any kind of music it should be that garbage ,
I have been a fan of Pantera for as long as I can remember and I will continue to support the band that doesn't mean that I agree with Phil's statement it simply means I enjoy the Music Pantera produces so yeah I find your comments disgusting and honestly I find this video
to have him sit here and talk about white people have never been oppressed by blacks that Its okay for them to go around and scream Black Power someone really needs a history lesson because white people who lived in Africa was oppressed by the blacks there so if anything is a black eye to metal is this video and his statements fuck it I'm done if you reply or not I don't care this shit just makes me sick
Well were looking at if from two different perspectives. There are still people in power who don't give people of color the same opportunities. I don't know your story and you don't know mine but I know that my life experiences would've been different if I were born white. If you watch the news, when a person of color does something, they are identified by that race. So its harder for us to do something and be judged individually. I know I always take responsibility for my actions. I cant even tell you how much racism I've seen on the internet. I'm not expecting you to understand because you'll never see it that way. This stuff builds up and you see patterns, but there's always going to be someone on the other side to say "well no its not..." All I want is for the racist crap to stop on all sides. But if you're a good person and not racist, I have nothing against you.
Metallic Death honestly the mainstream media is one of the biggest problems they twist stories to try to turn everybody against one another ,
you're right you don't know my story and I don't know yours but a lot of people jump to the conclusion that I'm White just because I speak out against stuff like this when in fact I'm actually Native American so being white does not factor into the equation for me I simply speak out against stupidity,
And what I mean about speaking out against stupidity has nothing to do with racism itself but has everything to do with people who like to label other people and try to claim that someone who listens to metal is inherently racist all that metal itself has a racial undertone but yet they do not speak out against all the problems that American citizens are actually facing,
Just like Morgan Freeman was asked in an interview by Mike Wallace I believe it was what was his solution to racism and his answer was stop talking about it he's going to ask people to stop calling him a black man and in return He will stop calling other people a white man I'm not saying racism does not exist because it does but it's not just one nationality that is racist it goes across the board there's equal blame to go around ,
If we as a people want to see a change in what's going on then we need to be that change we need to set the example for other people in the hopes that they will actually follow that example, I'm not going to refer to you as a black girl I'm simply going to refer to you as a person and as a individual I don't judge ,
A entire race on based on the actions of a small minority of that nationality but unfortunately what's actually been going on lately is every white person is being called guilty of racism based on the actions of a small group of people can you honestly say that's fair ?
People like to hold on to the Past and try to use what happened hundreds of years ago as an excuse for their actions today like they are actually being oppressed but in my opinion if you look around that's just a false statement because like I said everybody is presented with equal opportunity no matter what gender or race you are it's up to you as an individual what you do with that opportunity if you do not make something of yourself if you do not better your situation then that blame falls on you as an individual no one else,
And you talk about the news anytime I have cut the TV on all I see it's a bunch of people who claim blacklivesmatter while attacking other people solely based on the color of their skin they attack and murder cops why was screaming out the names of criminals ,
But yet you do not see those people protesting all the murder and crime that actually takes place in their neighborhood that is committed by people of their own nationality no they'd much rather protect those people but drug dealers and the criminals and the wannabe gangsters they'd much rather hold up hip-hop stars like there's some kind of Idol,
Instead of actually striving to be something more than that everybody is always so quick to blame somebody else for the decisions they decide to make in their life they do not want to accept responsibility and be held accountable for their actions so they tried to place their problems on to a different race and accuse them of being racist,
And then in the same breath claim that black people cannot be racist but anybody who has common sense and does not live in denial knows that statement to be a lie as I stated previously and this post every nationality has racist in it but to judge that an entire race of people by the actions of very few ,
Is deplorable nobody can justify racism nobody can justify what happened to the African American people hundreds of years ago,
Just like nobody can justify what happened to my people but I do not go around pissed off at the world I do not go around hating every single white person what happened to my ancestors at the hands of their ancestors it would be stupid for me to do something like that that would make me a racist in the end everybody has their own opinion and they have their own beliefs I'm just one person I'm not going to change the world by myself and I'll probably have it changed your view on the world or how it works and I really don't know what else to say other than have a nice day and I hope one day people in this world will stop hating each other and realize we all have to live on the same planet so it's best if we just accept each other for Who We Are as a person and try to make the best out of the time that we actually have here because life is too short to be angry all the time
Phil Anselmo was banned from Austria because of this, therefore he made a double concert in Budapest. Thank you for everybody who canceled him so I could enjoy two concerts isntead of one.🤘
I'm a fan of rock music I love the old school metallica albums, I love Motörhead. And I'm non white. It's fucking sad that Phil had to disrespect the rock art with fascist war cries.

I hope someone would give Phil a book by Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky and snatch the mein kampf from his hands.

+redandblackrevolutionary Fancy running into you here.
It's one thing to not be into a band because you're just not into their sound.. But to say it's solidified by the stupid action of one member, 15 years after the band split? For 1, he is only 1 band members, none of the others have ever done anything that seemed racist; Dime especially was known as one of the friendliest, most down to earth musicians/person you'd ever meet... didn't matter who you were or where you were from. Phil has had his douche moments, but I don't think he's truly racist.. he usually treated fans in other countries around the world pretty much like American fans, and he's probably performed with some musicians that weren't white. At the same time some people, especially from the south, can seem somewhat racist due to the environment they grew up in and how their parents were. I don't think it was right that he did that, but he also was drunk and people do dumb shit. The fact he says he'll never play another Pantera song because of something the former singer did, I think is absolutely ridiculous and stupid. It'd be one thing if the whole band encouraged racism.
EricJh21690 I've been playing with a band for many years, still officially a "band" now, even though we rarely play anymore unless someone contacts us and asks us to play a "reunion" show. We're a 3 member band with a strong political message. If one of the other members turned out to be a racist, there would cease to be a band.
Being in a band is a friendship, but it goes even beyond typical friendships. You don't have to always agree on *everything* ... but you can't have a band consisting of a communist, a nazi, a muslim and a guy from the john birch society. You have to be relatively like-minded, and you have to decide what your band stands for as a whole.
When one member of the band is saying things publicly (for YEARS on end, this was NOT the first time Anselmo made racist remarks, just the first time he shouted "WHITE POWER!!!" on stage in front of cameras) that are against what you (the other members) believe and want your band to stand for, you tell that member to fuck off. If you DO NOT get rid of the member who is publicly making statements like these, people will rightly assume that he is just saying what the whole band thinks, and when you continue to play in a band with this person, you are implicitly endorsing the things he says. He isn't some guy named Phil, he is "Phil Anselmo of the band Pantera." It's the company you keep, and yes, it is fair-game.

yea, I never said the rest of the band was bad, I just said I never liked their music that much.

***** Lol, "racist slam." As a person with pearly white skin, I found Dark Star Transmissions's gentle jabs to be funny and downright antithetical to racism.
The way he slid into the Phil impression was amazing
Because he Fkn worships Phil that’s why, never the less it was funny and spot on impression.
So refreshing to see this after everyone giving Phil a pass. Pantera makes some great music and wanted to see them live on their final tour but I’m hesitating now. I don’t think I could get this incident off the back of my mind while I’m there
Typical limp wristed Democrat
you're an idiot. phil is doing the same thing BLM did. you little cuck. phil has been doing this for years, talking about how its okay for blacks and hispanics to be proud, but if a white guy says hes proud to be white, its racism. phil wouldnt want you as a fan, you're a little moron. go hide in your safe space, if you ever experienced real racism.. what would you do? what would you do if you seen people murdering other people due to their race? because youve never seen that, so stfu. the KKK has a measly 5,000 members, racism is dead. phil is proud to be white. if that upsets you, cool. no one gives a shit, especially not phil. you're on here telling the worst guitar player in metal that hes refreshing.. because hes piling on phil anselmo over something phil never meant. again.. phil is not racist. he finds it disgusting that other races promote themselves.. but if a white person says it.. then this happens.. you have clowns like rob flynn trying to bring his shit band out of the ashes by bad mouthing phil. let me say this again, machine head has never been good and everyone knows it. rob needs to disappear instead of throwing people under the bus to try to stay relevant. what a loser.
Respect from England Rob, this shit has got to stop.
The people defending this shit are fucking idiots.
+Tunaboy45 why he's completely right?
There are no real Englishmen left, only slaves and traitors. You gave up your country because you were afraid to be called racist.
+Syrus Opliger i think he means people defending what phil did :)

He's just exerting his freedom of speech, nothing else. Stop whining and, if you disagree with him, do what a wise man would and ignore him. Stop making a tantrum out of it. Banning words and be politically correct makes people complacent and not have opinions on their own besides "following the official opinion".
+Las Desventuras de Virus Freedom of speech doesn't free you from ridicule for fucks sake. Quit getting butthurt that a racist troglodyte is being called out for being a racist troglodyte.
+Swef Jeff Ridicule is a subtle way to censor you know. It leads to have an "official opinion" running out, and that "official opinion" becomes, with time the only opinion. Diversity in points of view is what makes us strong debaters, and even if I don't agree with other's opinion, I am nobody to stop them to have it.
I can criticize it with arguments, because debate makes us strong and lead to a consense. But ridicule makes all the contrary, making you suppose you have a superior point of view, and that's going against diversity, removing all instances of discussion.
If you want to discuss this, please try to use less buzzwords next time.

+milekhh and we have only 0,001% black people.
+milekhh Obviously there's some respect for both parts needed to a civilized conversation to begin. We all can have polemic opinions that can offend others, but the idea is that we put that aside instead of making a wall and make them taboo. We humans become stronger by facing unpleasant situations.
And about that, it doesn't matter what demographics get affected by those words. It's just anecdotal, just like in a Capitalist country people sent condolencies to Kim Jong Un. (That happened)

Johnny from Type O Negative was here!!!
+Yves Heinrich Yes, he was playing drums. So?
reflect462 That's why I was shocked! Type O Negative is my childhood band and they don't exist anymore unfortunately, and Johnny is presumably my childhood drummer so there you have it.
+Yves Heinrich Yea he's the shit. He plays with Danzig now. I think he was trying to pull Phil offstage to prevent him from saying/doing any more dumb shit.
reflect462 He is. But I heard Danzig isn't doing good himself. Good for Johnny being the good guy in that dumb incident! I'm even more glad Johnny is active.
+Yves Heinrich I caught Danzig in uh... November, I think? He sounded pretty good! I mean, he's an asshole but the band sounded great.
Yall just dont know how alienating it is and feels and thats sad. Its like being an outsider in a group of “outsiders”
feeling that way doesnt make it real.
@@mrmanju6989 your ignorance is your only defense and safety blanket from a reality you dont first hand experience. Say what you want.
JUST IN: "Pantera" pulled from Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park in Germany. Love to see it. Had to come back to this video to remember why that's a win.
Pretty ironic that the German’s did that.
massive respect for MH after seeing this vid (goes to purchase some of their content).
Metal music runs through my blood. Machine head is one of my favourite bands. I stand tall with you robb. Even tho this is 4 years ago its still relevant.
Rob is a coward. He is a phony
Integrity101 yea right. 🙄
@@osssshhh12
Great reply EINSTEIN. Robb Flynn got called out the very morning he made this video because he was bitching and whining to Rita Haney about Philip before this even took place. Everyone in the know has known for decades that Robb has some weird obsession with Anselmo.
ANSELMO isnt racist at all. Its PATHETIC people are so dumb nowadays they think they know everything about someone after seeing a 5 second clip.
All adults, that actually care about this, looked into it and realized Anselmo made a stupid drunken mistake but clearly he isnt a hateful bigoted man at all. Its sad how PATHETIC the metal community is now
Integrity101 ok well thats your opinion. Shouting white power is a stupid thing to do. “To a load of white ppl” go shout that to a load of black ppl and see what happens. Its a shit thing to do. Enjoy the music mate. Thats all im here for the music.
@@osssshhh12
Phil did something stupid i agree. He even agrees that it was dumb and he apologized for it. The truth is the man is not some white supremacist at all. Its laughable. He was being heckled all night long while trying to celebrate the life of a murdered friend.
He is on video condemning white power groups long before any accusations. This all started when he shaved his head and looked the part. He has been very open in interviews.
0:08 look rita's reaction like ''holy shit''
+Felipe Was that her doing the devil horns? Good eye. That is interesting.
yeah
+Felipe holy shit? she turns around to tell her friend what he said and then the video stops perfectly before you can see her turn around. Most likely because she was laughing
Who's Rita?

Hey Robb, I still remember february 17th 2010 you was on tour with Hatebreed in Dresden, Germany on this day. There was a big protest of Neo-Nazis in town and complete chaos. Your fans gathered on the train station just to get one taxi cab after another because no busses or trams where out to the venue.. the whole city was full of Nazis. I was there early but even when Hatebreed played the venue wasn't near half full.. You were aware. You noticed it. You went out on stage and told us that you won't start playing until everyone arrived, because no "dickheads" will ruin this evening for someone. I having nothing but respect, Sir.
I just heard White Powder...because I think he had a lot this evening...
Well said Sir!! The metal community needs more of this. Metal started as a place for the disaffected to come together. This should be the most inclusive community out there. Call them all out and continue to call them all out. Fuck all intolerance.
The crazy thing is you erb are very intolerable! S-H!!!
Where is everyone calling our intolerance against whites? How about all the anti white hate and blaming whites for every problem that exists?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@scottsheriff2044 what?
@@funky-k0ng770 Disco sucks
I love this video. I'm an old black metalhead, and he's right; shit like this is all too acceptable in the metal world. I can't count the number of shows I've left early due to very real concerns, and I won't even get started on the number of shows that, tbh, I just knew better than to go to. I know what a puke Phil is, but I would have loved to see them back on the Vulgar Display tour. But I knew better. Fuck man, if we could all come together, metal would take over the world! Look at Dethklok (I say half jokingly)! The love of metal knows no color, but it's a fucking shame that unfortunately the community does all too well. There are shows I'd love to go to. Really really love (I'm looking at you, Black Metal), but I'll just stay away for now. Maybe my boys won't have to worry about it as they grow up. But for now, I'm afraid that I still "know better" when I'm picking my shows
Phil/Pantera isnt racist. Look into it more.
Dude you are spot on
Integrity101 you're joking, right?
@@BlackuLaLa
No.
@@integrity101 he might not be a racist in the sense of hatred towards other races but he says some ignorant shxt. I've seen the actual video and know it's taken out of context but you gotta be a true idiot to give the nazi salute and yell white power on stage.
I wonder what's worse, Pantera being glam in the 80s or Machine Head going homeboy in the late 90s.
Pantera fan.. dont like macinehead too much. But Rob Flynn.. respect to you. Totally correct.
@Frank Rizzo Robb probably forgave phil by now its been 4 years but both bands are great and influential
@Frank Rizzo Saying Phil isn't racist is like saying water doesn't make things wet. Dude is as racist as the day is long. If throwing around nazi salutes and giving white pride/white power speeches doesn't make you racist then what does???
Cool. I hope you daughter has a bunch of black babies, and you have to live with yourself. And support them cause hey, it’s not like daddy will. Loser.
would you reconsider what you think regarding "no white has been oppressed by black" in nowadays situation, Flynn???
No because he’s just a virtue signaling nobody hoping that he can move up one notch from the bottom by shitting on a great musician
As a non white guy I was machine head fan still I’m and still will \m/
Bohoo you're so special.

@@andrej7840 LOL all the non-White people are super special "minorities", even though they are the overwhelming majority population in the world. White people are only 11% of the world's population, yet we get no special minority rights...
Racism means differentiating the various races of men and understanding evolution guaranteed our differences and situational strengths. Nothing wrong with defending your own people and preventing their extinction.
"Racism" was coined in order to draw hate towards such defenders.
I don’t think a racist man would write a song like “No good(attack the radical) from vulgar display of power.
Being antiestablisbment does not make you unracist. Sorry to break it to you.
"In the states there's a problem with race because of ignorant past-burned fires."
I don't think a non-racist would perform a nazi salute and yell "white power" into the crowd. If you want to keep living in the delusion that he is not racist, feel free to do so.
Phil Anselmo made it clear that he is not a racist in several interviews, so why the fuck still discuss this? Yesterday news, move on
"This not a racist song. Its about everyone being equal yet some of us are constantly told we are no good, for no one. Phil’s take on this mentality is that, these laughed at fools will rise! In other words, no matter what creed or colour, don’t let anything or anyone put you down and tell you your no good. If you have determination, you will rise past it all. It’s a very empowering song.
"
Robb thank you so much for your support in this! I have gotten so much hate in this it is ridiculous. It is amazing to see you come out in support of me! You put on an amazing show! Thank you again Robb =)
Thank you for this .My beard has been pink to honor Dime for about 10years.I am Dark as night and proud metalhead and head case for life.Lemmy told me and kids like me to Rock and be true to me self.I jam Damage plan, Fractured mirror by Dime, HelllYeah and all Dime and Vinnie projects.I also follow you Robb.Getcha Pull!!!!🤘RIP.Dime and Vinnie!😔
