Much respect for Phil. This guy is proving to be an incredibly influential artist too a complete generation of young musicians. We need guys like Phil in todays society. God bless the man.
You could only wish to be like him at the age of forty. He looks damn good, he sounds damn good, and intellectually he is great. He has always had a deep voice and he is a smoker. Get over it. What is so abnormal about his behavior in this interview? The fact he might be stoned? Who cares...everyone should smoke weed. He is sharp, astute, witty, humble, and intelligent. Like I said...you can only hope to be like this at forty.
Broken man, been through unbelievable stuff, but still there giving all he's got and still kicks ass. Inspiration for the masses who struggle with whatever...Always prefer the underdog, fighting spirit.
It must be hard for Phil; knowing there's not going to be another Pantera record or show. Drugs or no drugs, it's got to be tough to accept and try to move on at times
@TransparentVisions he's off it now though and sound the for you too mate. i nearly delved too far into that scene a few years back so i have an idea of what it can do and why but i think its best without now
he's a very introverted person...it seems it's taxing him, explaining things a lot of time too....gettin words out the way he wants to...pausing to figure out how to structure statements sometimes...that might make him seem more fried than he really is
Judging from that interview from over a year ago, i dont know whats going on with Phil, he doesnt seem right and his voice is so deep he could be mistaken for Barry White! lol I wish him all the best, no one can imagine the shit he's been through personally especially with the death of Dime.
the reason that makes him seem to be "baked" is (quote from Wikipedia)" Phil claimed that the muscle relaxant Soma (Carisoprodol) and Methadone still messed with him and made him sound "retarded."
hes not a junkie, phill cleaned his shit up, not sober, just not a junkie like he was, i means hes deff fucked up wasted as all shit, but thats DOWN for ya, you dont go to a down show to see phill singer sober PHILL FUCKIN THE MAN
this guy has been through alot. Could you imagine having your longtime band mate being shot on stage in the back of the head. This guy got caught up in heroin no doubht about it and the shit will literally fry your brain. Hes still a smart guy underneath, he was a smart guy to begin with and you can hear it in him. Hes either on methodone or soma in this video, hes definately high theres no question, I know because I went through this...
think its funny how everyone assumes phil is on smack here! lmao! the guy is just stonned i went to see down in june in glasgow and man he looks better than ever! sings better than ever, the guys just a legend! he even said on stage hes given up all the hard shit but he still smokes weed everyday, damn fucking rite, i cudnt care what drug hes on hes still one of the best frontmen of all time!
I love Phil too but weed doesn't make your voice go down 3 octaves and make your eyes barely open like that. He's definitely on pain medication for his back here. It wasn't until like a year later he started to look and sound more normal. He'll probably be prescribed pain pills the rest of his life cause of his back and other ailments.
If he's on methadone, he's abusing it. He's almost nodding off. I'm on suboxone right now, and doing great. I have energy and no cravings. Phil is on some opiate, and I just can't believe he's not using. When you're struggling to keep yourself from nodding because you have to talk to someone, or try to think, you're face expresses that struggle. I hope I'm wrong and Phil is doing well, but to me, it's plain as day. It would be cool if he could stick around and continue to make music.
wen i see early vids,i can hear the same tone he has,but i think all the herion,methadone,and other painkillers were the 1s to make his voice like tht..i dont care though,he still sounds badass
You mean you were a fan. If you were a current fan you would know that Phil is clean except for weed and an occasional beer. So, he is slow to express his thoughts...his thoughts are intelligent. I suggest you do some research if you are such a fan and get your facts straight. You act as if everything out of his mouth is incoherent. That is just not so. Quit being so judgmental. Oh, and check out his articles on boxing insider. Then come back and tell me his brain is fried.
of course its that aswell...but honestly...slating him as stoned in every single interview is just insulting...i hate kids that do that...they just arent fans and are just here to throw shit at him
dude i agree, he makes me laugh, 'cause you see this interview and he's obviously stoned to fuck, but if you watch the interview on Robbs Metal Works when he was in Superjoint, its so funny to see phil stoned and not stoned. in that interview on robbs metalworks he actually made sense! lol well mostly...
naw hes not fucked up. Hes stoned as fuck how many times have u seen phil say smoke pot?? naw hes still got his mind. i think he kinda WANTS u to think that hes gotten fucked up over the years cuz of the drugs and Dime. either way phil is the man. If u were a part of pantera, you are the man lol.
Look at him today, he's clean now in 2018. Heroin, methadone it's hard to get off. Phil is the man, as always, same as it ever was.
Amen
Bet he still smokes the good stuff/Weed tho
Love the guy. Period!
He is tough but sensitive
Phil is an amazing human being. Such an inspiration as a person and musician alike.
He sounds like he is living in slow-mo.
He is 😂💉💊
I like how every time Phil hits his chest with his hand, the microphone goes BOOP. He must have been freaking baked for this interview.
It sounds like he's constantly tryin to hold back tears.
I enjoyed listening to phil in this interview and I'll always love him, his bands and his controbutions to the world. Thanks for the post m'man
Much respect for Phil. This guy is proving to be an incredibly influential artist too a complete generation of young musicians. We need guys like Phil in todays society.
God bless the man.
damn i wanna meet him so bad!!
best interview ever................
I saw him live the first day with metallica, oct 21 i think. And he was amazing. He's definitely come a long way.
Someone should have told him his wearing a mic... But yeah... all my respect to Phil!
haha he does have a godlike voice. lmfao, i love him he's fuckin cool
Methadone n weed = good buzz
I like his hair here :)

True, there were a couple parts I thought he was about to cry for some reason.
SOO HIGH!!
Thx for uploading!
Phil's the man as far as i can say.
coolest guy ever!!!
Superjoint was a great band
Ron Simmons: DAMN!!!!
Phil is the man!
Great interview!
Muy buena entrevista!
It must be hard for Phil; knowing there's not going to be another Pantera record or show. Drugs or no drugs, it's got to be tough to accept and try to move on at times
He´s the man!!! For Ever Stronger Than Fucking All .
@TransparentVisions
he's off it now though and sound the for you too mate.
i nearly delved too far into that scene a few years back so i have an idea of what it can do and why but i think its best without now
@Metal1998
This interview was done after Dimebag's death, this interview was in 2008 and Dimebag was murdered in 2004.
This guy is and it will be a God!
he's a very introverted person...it seems it's taxing him, explaining things a lot of time too....gettin words out the way he wants to...pausing to figure out how to structure statements sometimes...that might make him seem more fried than he really is
i fukkin love this guy!! so funny, livin legend LONG LIVE ANSELMO!!!!
Phil looks so exausted. He's definately the king of metal.
Judging from that interview from over a year ago, i dont know whats going on with Phil, he doesnt seem right and his voice is so deep he could be mistaken for Barry White! lol

That was before the show! Can you imagine what a mess he must've been after the show?
ouch, Phil, easy on the chest mic :D
@clintdack yes phil's my hero. high and buzzed? for sure by experience.
I miss dime
man if he said something about dime every interview it would be in vain and insincere.phil is so great.great.
hes not a junkie, phill cleaned his shit up, not sober, just not a junkie like he was, i means hes deff fucked up wasted as all shit, but thats DOWN for ya, you dont go to a down show to see phill singer sober PHILL FUCKIN THE MAN
true that...
hes becoming something like ozzy...
I wanna know what he's on cause I'm on methadone and I don't sound that slow. It's like he's a totally different person back then.
its fuckin awesome to see some sign of life back!
yeah hes stoned but hey....at least hes not on the gear again!
good on ya phil! \m/ (*.*)
and this interview was after he played, so im sure his voice was worn out
I don't know, it sounds like he's really found himself through his introspection, but he needs to get cleaned up
this guy has been through alot. Could you imagine having your longtime band mate being shot on stage in the back of the head. This guy got caught up in heroin no doubht about it and the shit will literally fry your brain. Hes still a smart guy underneath, he was a smart guy to begin with and you can hear it in him.

ah, Phil and his rambling
@Xaroel Check out 2010 interviews. He's fine.
Lets just talk about the motherfucking interview and dont talk about his state of mind aaaaazshhh
He was thirty nine almost forty. What is your point?
he's on something, is it weed? But who cares, fuck it, he's a legend.
ozzy jr?
he s absolutely sober, its due to years of taking pain killers and other substance abuse
@ctnpythons remember the good times my friends
So if Phil is sooo fk-ed up here, like everyone says, then how does he project so much energy and talk relatively fast on stage?
@TransparentVisions
Phil hasn't touched heroin in 6-7 years, so no, he's not on heroin.
I was just waiting for him to fall over...
isnt Anselmo a Portuguese name? has Phil played in Lisbon yet?
Hilarious!
pantera never played the uk for 95-2000 because Pantera rightly accused him as a Heroin addict. Shame but i saw them on far beyond driven.
lol, "SHARRROOONNNN"
@gigarocker you feel happy because phil is high and not with heroin?. if the answer is yes i'm on your side... i cry of happiness that phil is fine.
thats a famouse quote hahahah
lol "did we touch on DOWN?"
lol!!!
what happened to him??
arany szive, hogy be van tépve....:DDD
If he's on methadone, he's abusing it. He's almost nodding off. I'm on suboxone right now, and doing great. I have energy and no cravings.

I hope I'm wrong and Phil is doing well, but to me, it's plain as day. It would be cool if he could stick around and continue to make music.
Yeah I'd say this is a perfect example of a sober person who's taken a looooooooooooad of drugs in the past.
wen i see early vids,i can hear the same tone he has,but i think all the herion,methadone,and other painkillers were the 1s to make his voice like tht..i dont care though,he still sounds badass

I thought Phil said he's sober lol. Just fuckin', for his image as a stereotypicaly metal meathead he's actually a really smart guy.
Omg he's high. :'>
man he destroyed that mic haha
the guy screams for a living. hes gonna have a slow deeeeeep voice, and obviously hes blaaaaaaaaaaaaazed.
correction..kerrang accused him
I see.
hands off the mic there phil : /
well.... still does grass right?
haha i know that was funny as hell
of course its that aswell...but honestly...slating him as stoned in every single interview is just insulting...i hate kids that do that...they just arent fans and are just here to throw shit at him
UNSCARRED
he quit drugs, he just stopped too late and he's gonna stay a little messed up for ever
very funny the way he says the 'wool' comment. Get clean phil.

@m1ndtr1p true... this interview i think it was before dimebags death
@viktorhat He's destroyed, what a pity :(
I would love to talk to phill after he smokes a doobie we would talk about some deep shit
I was a really big fan of Pantera...

Stars do fall.
Happy life.
