The Great Southern Trendkill used to be my favorite album together with Far Beyond Driven. But in later years I have found that Re-inventing The Steel is my absolute favorite Pantera album. It was so focused and so directed to the fans and the band. Songs like Revolution, You've Got To Belong To It, We'll Grind That Axe and I'll Cast A Shadow just tells the whole story of Pantera. Don't get me wrong, I love The Great Southern Trendkill but Re-inventing The Steel is unique in metal. Such a fine metal experience
Eric is incredible. He says just enough to keep Phil rambling. It’s really hard to have that as an interviewer. He let’s the musician be the star, and stays engaged just enough to keep things rolling. 👍
Great interview.Lots of respect to Phil.Hes the primary reason i really was driven to keep doing my thing and pick up a microphone and take the words on paper and project it outwards. So thanks Phil you definitely helped me through some shit,if it weren't for music i'd be fucked. And Peter Steele is the reason i decided to pick up the bass. Thank you guys,much love and respect. R.I.P. Peter. See you soon.
I'm still waiting for Phil to write that book. I have a lot of books on musicians, but I think it would be the most interesting. 17 damn. Could you imagine, fronting the biggest Metal band in the world. R. I. P, Brother Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul Abbott. RE-SPECT 👊
Phil is a God. That first superjoint album slaughters everything else in heavy metal. Reinventing the steel was godly, and every down record kills. You can't touch Phil as a front man.
Phil Anselmo is the real deal. You can really tell he is a very big music fan himself. He's not just doing his music for a job. He loves music. And he is right, getting older sucks because what once was a somewhat perfect existance is no longer and that existance will no longer be. I think that is actually why many people get stuck in addiction, trying to recapture that existance and that time of being and place. Well it will not become a reality, you can not recapture and live the past. It may feel like it for a moment but then reality will set in. Anyway, Phil you rock! Seen him in concert once in Stockholm, Sweden in 2008 I think.
MsJilsephonie "Same" ..I hate pretty boys and over opinionated nerds. I love a funny intelligent guy with great life experiences .. Saw PANTERA quite a few times, best live band for me of all time..RIP DBD & VP...#CFHFOREVER
Kimmy Tug love Phil to death. But also love me a nerd. Rockers and nerds. Mmm. And I just found a rocker nerd I’ve been spending some quality minutes with lately. Hehe
It's amazing how well Phil has always been able to perform and communicate . When take into consideration his struggles back then . Much respect to thee Heavy Metal vocalist ( of the past 31 years ) .
I love Philips sense of humor and that Venom story. I met him once 2006 after a Down show. He was talking about him being on stage with Slayer. Funny as hell
King of the rambling story, ladies and gentleman, Mr. Philip H. Anselmo!!!!!!!!!!! SIDE NOTE: I wish he would've made some guest appearances in pro-wrestling. His use of the word "brother" is soooo Hogan-esque
The guys in Pantera..being Texas guys. Phil being Lousiana. Always in the music had that southern thang in it. They had that Billy Gibbons, Srv thing in it. If you from Texas you know. It's in the music scene down here.
Overcoming...the addiction 😂...meanwhile Phil is high as a kite in this interview. Its crazy how naive' people are to drugs and what it looks like when somebody is on them. Thank god Phil is off the shit today...as well as I myself, although I am on methadone now (something Phil has called more evil than heroin itself, which I can agree with). But Phil was lying through his teeth saying that he only got high twice after OD'ing. I get it though, I have done the same exact thing...its embarrassing to admit, I still love the guy and his music and lyrics have gotten me through some of the worst times of my life.
Same. Some people do well on methadone, but a lot of people dont. I'm on subs myself, and while they're no solution to the problem, in comparison with liquid handcuffs (methadone) I think suboxone is a lesser of 2 evils. Suboxone/subutex wasn't around when this interview was recorded tho
He seems not as baked here as he did in other interviews. The hosting he did for Down with Pepper in 2002 had him even more high than here; his eyes were almost closed.
That shit was meant for a two week withdrawal, yet doctors use it for a lifetime of "maintenance". One week of HELL getting pff of it is worth the pain to get off of it. Kick that shit brothers, drinking satan's jizz makes the machine rich at your expense! My heart's with you!
I saw Superjoint on their very 1st tour,it was at a shithole in Northern Va & there was maybe 50-60’people there ……went back & saw them on the 2nd tour at the same venue & it’s was packed ….partied with Hank at that show too 🤘🏻🖤
I was in rehab when Phil od'd, I was 16. He's 100 on dope being the worst evil. How a thing that comes from a pretty flower makes you feel so awful is some dichotomy. Ive kicked it and twice and I won't/can't do it again
fuck! reinventing the steel is the greatest pantera album and one of the greatest heavy metal record of all times. I'm agree with phil about this record
I saw SJ on this tour with Deicide and it was a crazy show but phil was nodding his ass off the entire time..It’s good to know that he’s better now..I honestly didn’t think he would be around much longer after the way he looked at that show.
Is this interview sped up? I have distinct memories of watching this interview and it being waaaaay slower as far as Phil's speech pattern. Glad to see he is doing AMAZING in 2020.
@@PattKnot I know - I'm actually talking about this specific video. I seem to recall seeing it and I remember there being multiple really dramatic pauses in his speech. It's almost as if the video was doctored or my memory is distorted. In either case, yeah, SJR were some wild years man
for people saying hes so doped up in this interview... yeah hes buzzed for sure somewhere there..but at this point in 2003-2004.. This was his most coherent interview.
@@integrity101 Yeah, he said it basically made him "retarded". It's just a shame he wasn't off that stuff before Dime passed. They could've probably patched things up.
@@EyeShotFirst They would have. The whole situation was blown outta proportion to sell magazines and VH1 significantly misinformed the fans. Behind the music pantera was PATHETIC
@@integrity101 The media was disgusting during the whole episode. I won't defend the things Dime, Vinnie, and Phil said about each other, but the magazines put that shit in bold on the covers to stir that pot. It was a childish spat that could've been squashed with a phone call.
@@EyeShotFirst Yep. And the first phone call was already made as Rex & Dime talked and the seed was planted for a reunion. Just ran outta time. Media was PATHETIC i agree. The whole thing was a massive communication breakdown by a bunch of guys with drug/alcohol addictions.
Lol. What a stupid, ignorant comment. When you're high on heroin you nod out. You're also super itchy as well. Sometimes your stomach is bothering you. Do you see any of those things going on?
A junkie couldn't keep up being a singer for something as powerful as pantera,that's why he feels better playing sub par shiity music like down and superdont
Man im a fan of phil and definialty a fan of PanterA but ur right after his od it fucked em up an he was never the same since. PanterA couldnt have him like that on stage not matching there energy
@@alecialoo "sub par shiity music" gives a whole different vibe. If you want to hate Phil, go ahead, but there's no need to drag down all those other people with him.

Down’s album NOLA was great! After that I didn’t like it. Superjoint sucked and Viking Crown was awful. DamagePlan was awesome and I liked Hellyeah especially the first record.
The Great Southern Trendkill is and always has been one of my favorite Pantera albums..
Chris Kliewer Hell yeah! & Far Beyond Driven & Vulgar Display of Power
Chris Kliewer Trendkill is hands down my favourite Pantera album! And 20+ years down the line, it's still the angriest record ever made.
Every song every album.... Pantera, down, n superjoint
The Great Southern Trendkill used to be my favorite album together with Far Beyond Driven. But in later years I have found that Re-inventing The Steel is my absolute favorite Pantera album.

Agreed Reinventing The Steel is their best album. So many myths about it started after they broke up
Holy shit. So many stories, such an understanding of life. Phil's an interesting dude. I could listen to him for hours.

I'm still on myspace on my windows 2000 pc

The true King of metal🤘🏻

I didn't have to put it on 150x speed. That's pretty rare for a Phil interview.
Phil is a good interview because he loves to talk haha
Nice seeing an interview where the interviewer actually knows what the fuck hes talking about.
He's pretty cool. He did an interview with Doyle from the Misfits and it went awesome
No offense, I love Superjoint, but superjoint does not even even remotely compare to Pantera.
What does?
I'm always stoned lmao. Even when I'm not. My eyes are naturally small
