Götz Kühnemund of Germany's Rock Hard magazine conducted an interview with DOWN/ex-PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo at the Roadburn festival on April 17, 2008 in Tilburg, Holland.
Exactly, what you say is exactly what I feel to, it's good to see that there still are a few of us left who really understand what he's been through and appreciate the great music he's still giving us! Respect to you! Philip forever!
This is an example of what makes Phil so unique and special. He is candid, truthful, and gives a lot of thought to his responses. He is never fake and shares his perspective with everyone. In other words, he is real. And yes...Phil you can sing and you can sing very well. His voice is stellar and I hope he continues on for many years to come.
this guy is a good interviewer... he knows when to ask good and tough questions and then knows to shut the hell up and let the other guy take his time answering
Phil is awesome, this (part 1&2) is a cool interview... I appreciate how he always says what he thinks! Hurry up October, so I can finally see him play live!!!
Great interview its good to know that Phil is changing for the good. That he's recognizing love the right way and speaking the truth and making deep sense. This interview has kinda awaken me and got me thinking about my own self.
Philip Anselmo was, is and will always be a rock God, the things he's been through would kill most of us, so all the stupid comments don't have their place here! Grow up and don't throw dirt at the best vocalist and rocker ever! We, who really care are proud of you stay real Philip we need you!!
hahaha kirk at the end! to funny. also this interview was incredible. the interviewer was great knew his shit and good questions and you could easily see how comfortable phill was and yer you know what im saying. it was a good interview etc. cant wait to see down again this october! there so good phil and the boys are the true kings of music! all there bands and side projects never fail so check em out if you havnt all ready its life changing and taps right into your head!
Has he always? I can't remember, but he's gone through a hell of alot with his past issues.. maybe that has something to do with it. I totally love him though.. his honesty astounds me, it's cool!
@LocoGuitarrista Much better than the shitty American interviews we have. They actually let the man speak rather than try to get a controversial sound bite.
its fucke dthat phil did the same thing i do...when i got the house to my self...i put my music on my stereo i sing all my favorite albums front to back....i wonder if he sings any pantera stuff...
"Heroin is a hell of a drug" -Philip H. Is for (heroin) Anslemo, glad he is back to normal, man fucking junkhead shit is for the birds, I speak from experience
It's right he can sing really well like Halford, Kiske, Tate, kind of Heavy Power Metal. I'm a singer myself and I sing a lot of that high pitch like Halford, Tate etc. And I can sing raw too but I also can sing a soft children song. Some so called singers just scream and then there's nothing more. A great singer shall be broad in my opinion. If you can sing lots of types of music, then you're a more complete singer and thats a great strenght.
Yeah thats whats give Phil versatily . It came back on reinventing the steel , revolution is my name ... People imitating phil and doing cover bands of Pantera cant fuckin do it right ... So the power metal songs...forget it .
Well, he did heroine to stop the pains, then he replaced it with something less deadly that he claims made him even slower. I think he's meant to be clean now but I guess that it had quite an effect on him in the long term. Some damage cannot be undone. :-( But at least, he might be slow but his reasoning is still normal and quite deep. And his voice is back.
Haha love that! he says "i never want to potray that image in the public eye again" as in drinking and being pist off his head! yet he's hung over and completely cooked on this interview!! lol
Wow dude, I honestly think phill is a good guy. And despite any of these problems against the abbot brothers, I don't think phill would convince some crazy bastard to kill them. What happened is the Columbus douchebag felt it was the Abbot brothers whom where standing in the way of Pantera being together. So he planned to kill the abbot brothers to get some personal revenge. End of story, no conspiracy here. So if your a true Pantera fan, don't make a villain out of phill.
I can't stand to see how much this guy has been fucked the last ten years 34 year's old been through a best friend dying a major disaster like katrina being blamed for being the reason for his death and accused of a racist shit like that changes you into an old man if not a dead man in that time hard to believe it is the same guy glad to see he seem's happier though less hatefull.
Well he will never be the same after using heroin for a few years straight, but he is still a heavy metal god. Much like Ozzy, drugs have done permanent damage to him, and thats why he is like the way he is. At least he was smart enough to quit the hard shit before it killed him. That's why I stick with weed, and I don't trust any of them hard drugs, they will take a toll on you.
This interview kinda worries me. I bet after his back surgery they gave Phil opiates. Nothing else would help the pain enough. You don't want to give opiates to a former heroin addict. It seems kinda like he may be on it again.
Really!!! This what fuckin heroin does to man... It fuckin breaks you and takes your mind and soul! Honestly, I pray for this fuckin guy, he needs help and needs to get in a program. Hes a good guy and has so much fuckin potential. Throw out the fuckin rigs man and get on it, its pathetic!!!!!!!!!!
Phil Anselmo is one fucking musical genious. Im big fan of him. He has done many stupid things and many good things in his life like everydody does. I respect him very much but i think he has a little problem with weed. :)
HAHA! HE ALWAYS SPEAKS THAT DEEP WHEN HE S DRUNK... AS A GERMAN I HAVE TO SAY I AM SO ASHAMED FORTHAT INTERVIEWER!HIS ENGLISH IS SO BAD AND HIS STYLE OF ASKING Q WOULD MAKE Me ANGRY IF I WAS PHIL... anyway...

@PETETHEMEAT42 that is the CRAZIEST description i have ever heard for someone lol congratz on changing my life this day
Hi, my name is Phil and I have three brain cells left.
It sounded like he went in rewind
It's right he can sing really well like Halford, Kiske, Tate, kind of Heavy Power Metal.

Guys, have u heard his singing lately, I don't think he's been this well in tune and precision...
5:20 fuck sake man hes destorying my speekers with his voice.
HAHAHAHA @ the beginning!
Dude...hell of a video! Favourited !!!
Thanks for uploading!!!! Check out mine if you want. \m/
@LocoGuitarrista This guy is a good interviewer who loves his metal. Check his interview with Fenriz
sounded like he was getting choked up wen he talk about pantera
5:20 phil sounds like a frog maaaaan. "OVERBOAAAAAARD, RE, REDICILOUSLY DRUNK"
NO DOUBT! lol
he got off the meds, his personality is solid and sharp again. sad to someone be that broken though...
philosophical phil haha
Phils voice just tripped at 5:20
Darth_Haterr he went bass guitar
Pantera pushed the limits of heavy metal. They stayed heavy all the way while pushing the "heaviness" further with each record. Shame the band's gone.
He's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too High :O
Wow dude, I honestly think phill is a good guy. And despite any of these problems against the abbot brothers, I don't think phill would convince some crazy bastard to kill them. What happened is the Columbus douchebag felt it was the Abbot brothers whom where standing in the way of Pantera being together. So he planned to kill the abbot brothers to get some personal revenge. End of story, no conspiracy here. So if your a true Pantera fan, don't make a villain out of phill.
@billykid84 Gee thanks, you broke my subwoofer.
what wrestler does he sound like. i cant put my finer on it
LOL @ Kirk as King Diamond
I can't stand to see how much this guy has been fucked the last ten years 34 year's old been through a best friend dying a major disaster like katrina being blamed for being the reason for his death and accused of a racist shit like that changes you into an old man if not a dead man in that time hard to believe it is the same guy glad to see he seem's happier though less hatefull.
lmfao!
LOL listen to "overboard" at 5:19
He looks like a mean David Beckham.
0:12 no doubt :D
Well he will never be the same after using heroin for a few years straight, but he is still a heavy metal god. Much like Ozzy, drugs have done permanent damage to him, and thats why he is like the way he is. At least he was smart enough to quit the hard shit before it killed him. That's why I stick with weed, and I don't trust any of them hard drugs, they will take a toll on you.
I would like to say, he doesn't do ANYTHING anymore..
This interview kinda worries me. I bet after his back surgery they gave Phil opiates. Nothing else would help the pain enough. You don't want to give opiates to a former heroin addict. It seems kinda like he may be on it again.
Really!!! This what fuckin heroin does to man... It fuckin breaks you and takes your mind and soul! Honestly, I pray for this fuckin guy, he needs help and needs to get in a program. Hes a good guy and has so much fuckin potential. Throw out the fuckin rigs man and get on it, its pathetic!!!!!!!!!!
w.e. I have a few friends that are just like that. So much BS. He needs to get real. It's one thing to talk and another to really do it.
So sad to see him like this. I love Pantera, Down, SJR and this pains me to see this man like this. A lesson to all. Stay away from drugs.
Phil Anselmo is one fucking musical genious. Im big fan of him. He has done many stupid things and many good things in his life like everydody does. I respect him very much but i think he has a little problem with weed. :)
phil and fenriz, two cool guys
@TheFragile89 ha I dont even remember writing this at all weird could be though ya I was way off haha
He mustve shot up right before the interview cause you can just watch him getting more and more stoned out as the interview drags on.
Imbecile. SMH
Looks like whatever drugs he was on really slowed him down mentally. What a shame. RIP Dimebag/Pantera!
The medications for his back surgery pain caused his speech to slur.
drugs meaning heroin? im sure hes been off it longer than that. weed? he still does it.
Muscle Relaxor's
@MouthforWar78 LOL.. ROFL..ROFLMAO
@LocoGuitarrista ..which wouldnt be so bad if he wasnt wasted and rambling on.
I always wonder why he speaks so slow. He sings in average speed. So why does he talk that slow?
medication, dude.
@@gfx2943 Yeah...he made a great comeback in 2009, DL festival.
poor phil this is hard to watch.
This is truly bothersome. He speaks like 15 words a minute
Brain...work...slow...
what a mess,maybe hess on sedatives or somthing
HAHA! HE ALWAYS SPEAKS THAT DEEP WHEN HE S DRUNK...
AS A GERMAN I HAVE TO SAY I AM SO ASHAMED FORTHAT INTERVIEWER!HIS ENGLISH IS SO BAD AND HIS STYLE OF ASKING Q WOULD MAKE Me ANGRY IF I WAS PHIL... anyway...
