Marcus Johnston I know right! Lame audience! Phil is intimidating but only if u let him- otherwise he's a sarcastic joker, u just gotta go to the sarcasm level and have fun w him. Both times I met him it was the same.
Chris Tenorio At least become a teacher. He completely took over this class, or whatever it was. She sounded like she was a teacher, and Phil shut her down!
phil, my brother....we have met each other. im sure u remember the double amputee drummer. anyways I know how chronic pain effects a person. as a baby my legs were ripped from me in a car train accident. now im 40, the pain is almost unstandable.... im glad you got help my friend....I know what you were goin thru and its not fun....and being a musician too, I know how hard it can be to entertain, and try to put up a front that im ok, when inside im almost in tears from pain...I mean the biggest show I played, opening for black label society, I was there but wasn't cause the pain. don't get me wrong, I gladly played the show...and zack tellin me I beat the hell outa those drums made it worth while...but the pain makes u not want to hang out after the show. it effects every part of ones life..anyways hats off to u my friend for overcoming pains evil cycle.........
He looks better than he has in 10 or 15 years, I agree. Personally, I think this was Phil "dressing up" for the interview. Look at the shoes. It's just weird to see him in pants.
he's a lyrical genius in his albums and brings such intensity if you ever see him live...but to hear him candid....he sounds like something out of the 1800s.
It's amazing to me how honest he is in front of complete strangers. It would be hard & embarrassing for me to tell strangers my story. As a recovering addict myself, it's surreal how realistic his 'heroin calender' story is. Gotta respect his honesty. Love you Phil. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Its easy to be realistic when its real bro. Funny how all those thoughts in your head you thought you were the only one until someone who can take their thoughts and put them into words isnt it?
I'm truly happy for you brother .... This interview with Phil got me emotional I won't lie ... I still fight my demons to this day ... Took guts for you to just post this ...
I was on heroin for 23 years 15 years on methadone and H too,finally I been clean 5years,all the long while playing ,touring endlessly!Phil I'm so proud of you my friend,I nvr thought u had FEAR!
Props to you man =) I have never used drugs (and I never will). As I got scared to death as a kid from what I read about Phil, Slash and Dave Mustaine. Well, long story short. I´ve stayed away from drugs since then.
Good for you bro, I’ve been on methadone 3 years, reducing 5ml every 4 weeks. It’s one hell of a battle but it’s good to hear success stories...hope you’re still well 👌
This was the most heart felt and comprehensive discussion on LIFE that I have ever heard. You do not have to be a Pantera fan to appreciate what Phil brings to the table.
Holy shit, as a musician and more importantly an addict in treatment this makes me cry. I can't believe how incredibly hard he hits the nail on the head in every single aspect.
When he talks about how important the clock is, that is so fucking true. Especially when your waiting for your dealer to answer or something like that.
Fuck yes. Although I didn't have my shit delivered, but I'd go to another junkies apartment and drop off the money and sometimes sit outside in a freezing car in the middle of winter staring at the time only my phone, texting him every twenty minutes, waiting for him to finally say "ok it's here".
This could have gone on for another hour or two. I imagine Phil has a lot more stories to tell and wisdom to share about the world of a rock star and drug addict. Stories and wisdom that Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and many others didn't live to share. It's a tragic thing how hard drugs and rock music go hand in hand. The music of an addict becomes compelling, and you feel you're seeing it through their eyes by listening to it through their words. You watch a world unfold in front of you that you might not otherwise gain an understanding of. My hat's off to Phil. He went through hell, made it out, and lives to tell the younger generation of the bullshit, pain, broken relationships, and wasted years that come along with the addiction. I know he regrets the very moment he first shot up, and he damn sure regrets the years he pissed away on the chase. Good luck to ya. Phil. Keep writing music, and sure as hell keep spreading the word to the younger generation that addiction is only a means to an end.
This is the first time Ive heard Phil talk. Seriously.. He's an interesting guy. Not only did he speak from the heart here, but I think he also showed flashes of exactly why he has been so successful. He never did say exactly how he kicked heroin or if he is on methadone or whatever. But I get the feeling he's still in full on combat with some powerful demons. He talked a lot about will, and I think that anyone with a lesser will could not have reached his level of new power. I do wish him the best.
This video inspired me to start getting clean, everything he says is 100% spot on, I never ended up fucking with heroin, thank god, but even the sickness from coming down off of painkillers is intense. Just don't mess with the shit, it's really not worth it, the pain you feel now is nothing compared to the pain you will feel withdrawing.
That's so awesome to know it inspired you! I wish you all the best. There are a few people who comment on here who are going through the same thing. Keep in touch.
I hear you man, I've been there. Opioid withdrawal is the absolute worst; wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. So glad I was able to get past that hellish period of my life, and glad you were able to too.
7 months now, I feel like life is within grasp now, thank you all for the kind words! It's been tough but definitely not impossible, just opening up to one person is what it took for me, because trust me, they know something is wrong with you. And DamageIncM, your absolutely right, Music got me through the worst of it hands down. Thank you guys again and I wish you and all who are fighting this demon all the best, I know it problly sounds really cliche but things really do get better.
Michael Moline I'm going through it now I've been on Percocets for five years for knee injury now I'm trying to get off these damn things but it's not as easy I thought it would be
If u took the time to sit & watch/listen to this, i'm sure that at the end of your day, when your head hit the pillow & u stared up at the ceiling, u couldn't help but think back to this video. Truly amazing...
Phil's discussion about methadone and heroin helped me overcome my methadone addiction and get clean. Him talking about his using days still gives me chills. Phil's an awesome dude.
etniess27 I know man. Im a Pantera fanatic. Im a guitarist and Dime is the man to me. Ive also been through the shit Phil talks about in this video. But I hear you man. Hes just a monster! Always has been! Always will be! Cheers man!
Man he is so wise it shows in his music and his speeches that's why I listen to Pantera great music with a message I wish I could meet Phil and have a beer and talk about life.
Loved phil When he said wake up with a vengeance i know that feeling all so well. I know exactly what he means. Clean now 6 years and hearing guys like him keep me clean. Great speech!!!
I'm sure I've commented before,but Phil's life and my life are like looking thru a mirror, everything he says here is the TRUTH,I was fresh in recovery 8 years ago when Phil did this interview, he speaks from EXPERIENCE
I came off Methadone, makes being dope sick seem like a holiday. In 12 days, I lost 22lbs coming off of Methadone. Everything I ate or drank for 10 or 11 days, I would throw up 5 minutes later. Worst sickness EVER.
First off I think a bunch of kids and people need to watch this video. Phil speaks the truth about addiction and life in general. I have seen many addicts over the years and it's saddens me to think how they ruin the lives of many. The second thing I want to say is that Phil and Pete Carrol may be the finest gum chewers I have seen in my life.
I suffered the same blown discs, the surgery that is a Brutal, Horrific two stage event that nearly killed me, and The Fucking Pain. It Never goes away, even after the surgery for most people. If the drugs don't kill you, and the nervous breakdowns don't get you committed, and you don't succumb to your daily suicidal thoughts(I know what all my guns taste like), you make it out of the other end with a shred of the life you had and build from there. It's all sheer will. Anselmo should be commended for managing to maintain a productive life. He is the exception because he wills it.
Back injuries suck. My discs weren't blown but I spent 3 years in agony and doctors couldn't even tell me why. Everything you said in this post true and I didn't have blown discs I can't even bare to think of that pain knowing how bad I was. Good luck to you.
+MyworstEnemy I hear you bro. my problem was always booze, but a year ago i got so drunk i had a seizure & fell & fractured my spine. now i've got 5 vertebrae bolted together. i managed to get off the morphine & oxycodone a few months ago, but The Fucking Pain is still there every day. the only way i didn't shoot myself was by telling myself "maybe i'll just do it tomorrow". i kept saying that to myself for weeks until i finally talked myself off the ledge. it IS all about fucking WILL. you don't have to die to go to hell, but you do have to live to get out of it.
trichinosis333 Words of wisdom. I'm working on getting off the meds, but it is what it is I guess. Congrats to you, and RESPECT for the will you have. That is inspiring.
Wow, Phil is such a talented writer. The way he explains those experiences is so vivid and makes you feel as if you're there. Also, what a hypnotizing public speaker as well. Love you Phil!
This video is one of the reasons I admire Phil so much he leaves nothing on the table he's one of the most honest singers out there he's been through hell and back but I'm so happy he's stayed clean
I've met Phil at several DOWN shows. He has such a strong presence and personality, very funny and extremely approachable and happy to meet fans.. Nice guy
I have so much respect for Phil,i have been fighting addiction for 15+yrs now and have finally gotten it under control and gotten clean with the use of suboxone but i was brought to tears with what he said in this and how so much of the story he is telling painted a bright pic in my mind of what i was going through.I have been a fan of his from the begining andlove all his work.Wherever you are Phil i just want to say"THANK YOU"for being my inspiration,made me love life for real...Thank you
Thank you Phil for your words. I hope Mike 9 is doing better after the bust during Katrina. Your many bands have always been there thru the dark times... Hope to have that strength one day
I did`nt like this guy at all, but after hearing this I fucking love this guy! Boy can I identify! He has given me inspiration at a time when I need it bad not to mention how coincidental it is for me to just click on this during a really strange time. Thanks Phil!
This is one of those rare interviews that actually allows a person to represent themselves without any filter. Phil was projected as being such a bull-headed individual during the 90's. He always came across as a bit intimidating and standoffish. Phil is a talented guy and it was interesting listening to him be so candid and introspective. Definitely took guts to be able to share the dark side of his hard living. Thanks for sharing.
What he speaks is the absolute truth... For those of us who know we know... A relationship with opiates is rough road that leads all the way to the scene of the crash.
I've been there. Thank you for speaking about this.If it saves one life, you are a hero. All these "lortab or norco "junkies.have an no clue what they are getting themselves into. .
this was great! much respect to phil for saying whats real and not sugar coating a god damn thing. awesome! im glad he was able to over come his demons and still be here to give us his music and not become another tragedy. well done!
All my respect to Phil, he's an awesome Person. Saw him live on last monday with the illegals, it was an incredible gig and he looked very lively, i really believe that he's clean for many years. I wish you all the best Phil!
I have been sober for a very short time but u just summed up everything about my experience I could never put into words much respect and love thanks Phil.
Phil is a good motivational speaker, really. Aside from his talent of music, he's a very characteristic speaker too, he talks slowly so's you can understand him. Very deep interview, I've seen it literally 30 times already but it never gets old. Sludge!
If heavy metal itself manifested itself into the form of a human being, that human being would literally be Phil Anselmo.
Phil is great and will always be a metal brother keep rocking phil
thelocust64 This might be the best, most accurate comment of all the internet. Props, bro!
This man seriously needs to do a tour and speak to kids about addiction, Amazing speech Phil.
I don't think these people were ready for Anselmo
The world still isn't ready for this man.
LOL He is leagues ahead of most of us!!
Excluding the drug part, I wish I'm like Phil Anselmo when I'm older. His wisdom and patience is astounding.
Feel the exact same
Phil: "It's interesting, isn't it?"
Audience: ....
Phil: "Huh? ANSWER ME!"
Audience: "yeah yeah oh yes oh fuck sorry phil please don't fight us." lol
Marcus Johnston I know right! Lame audience! Phil is intimidating but only if u let him- otherwise he's a sarcastic joker, u just gotta go to the sarcasm level and have fun w him. Both times I met him it was the same.
Ha ha, awesome.
I think Phil Anselmo should be a motivational speaker
Chris Tenorio At least become a teacher. He completely took over this class, or whatever it was. She sounded like she was a teacher, and Phil shut her down!
This would be a great idea. Scare kids straight with strength
the manliest man voice I've ever heard in my life. my god.
I bet the ladies love that shit!!
His voice has gotten 10x more deep since this video.
@@guitarded5198 That's very true
Scream for 20 years and sing hard southern rock style mixed in and your voice will prob be the same lol
Phil's honesty and courage is inspiring, and his music is fuckin sick. Great person.
More than inspired
Phil Anselmo/Pantera defined REAL metal (and being real in general), and should NEVER be forgotten as long as people headbang. RIP Dimebag.
+Nathaniel Prince Coulter Last Metal band!

Hello my friend, how are you feeling now?
He really is captivating as hell
"No I don't want to join your internet club" LOL
I KNOW!!! LMFAO!! \m/
You find funny because you don't understand
You find funny because you don't understand
i respect the HELL out of this man for real he's one of my hero's man!
Man of truth
So weird to see Phil in pants.
cause he's cleaner I bet or winter
He looks better than he has in 10 or 15 years, I agree. Personally, I think this was Phil "dressing up" for the interview. Look at the shoes. It's just weird to see him in pants.
phil rules… great communicator! every kid in that assembly was lucky to be there!
mark k Very lucky
Beautiful
he's a lyrical genius in his albums and brings such intensity if you ever see him live...but to hear him candid....he sounds like something out of the 1800s.

Congrats, Derrick! Glad you made it out. Stay strong.
+Aoife Thanks bro. It's been a roller coaster ride for sure & I don't wish that on my worst enemy.
yeah congrats bro, it takes a lot to going away from that shit. stay strong bro !
Its easy to be realistic when its real bro. Funny how all those thoughts in your head you thought you were the only one until someone who can take their thoughts and put them into words isnt it?
I'm truly happy for you brother .... This interview with Phil got me emotional I won't lie ... I still fight my demons to this day ... Took guts for you to just post this ...
One of the most passionate speakers I have has the pleasure to listen to.
I was on heroin for 23 years 15 years on methadone and H too,finally I been clean 5years,all the long while playing ,touring endlessly!Phil I'm so proud of you my friend,I nvr thought u had FEAR!
Congrats bro, but what got you hooked on it in the 1st place?
Props to you man =) I have never used drugs (and I never will). As I got scared to death as a kid from what I read about Phil, Slash and Dave Mustaine. Well, long story short. I´ve stayed away from drugs since then.
GOOD Stay that way! ALIVE!!
Good for you bro, I’ve been on methadone 3 years, reducing 5ml every 4 weeks. It’s one hell of a battle but it’s good to hear success stories...hope you’re still well 👌
This was the most heart felt and comprehensive discussion on LIFE that I have ever heard. You do not have to be a Pantera fan to appreciate what Phil brings to the table.
Probably one of his best interviews, he sounds sober and healthy, still rambles, but good
Love him or hate him, the Dude is real about shit. Phil's the man!
Holy shit, as a musician and more importantly an addict in treatment this makes me cry. I can't believe how incredibly hard he hits the nail on the head in every single aspect.
Same here brother I got got choked up a few times
When he talks about how important the clock is, that is so fucking true. Especially when your waiting for your dealer to answer or something like that.
Fuck yes. Although I didn't have my shit delivered, but I'd go to another junkies apartment and drop off the money and sometimes sit outside in a freezing car in the middle of winter staring at the time only my phone, texting him every twenty minutes, waiting for him to finally say "ok it's here".
Yeah that's the worst. The wait. That unholy, anxiety-ridden wait.
This could have gone on for another hour or two. I imagine Phil has a lot more stories to tell and wisdom to share about the world of a rock star and drug addict. Stories and wisdom that Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and many others didn't live to share. It's a tragic thing how hard drugs and rock music go hand in hand.

Phil is one of the truest people in music. Heavily inspiring.
"WILL is incomplete without LOVE"
holy
fuck
that is one of the best things i've ever heard.
If u took the time to sit & watch/listen to this, i'm sure that at the end of your day, when your head hit the pillow & u stared up at the ceiling, u couldn't help but think back to this video.
Truly amazing...
Wow, I hate to use the term, but Anselmo is a great inspirational-motivational speaker.This guy is the definition of Keeping It Real.
this dude been a part of my life for 20 years. very talented man
Phil's discussion about methadone and heroin helped me overcome my methadone addiction and get clean. Him talking about his using days still gives me chills. Phil's an awesome dude.
Phil is truly inspirational.
Man! Phil is just sooo painfully sincere. I'm happy for him, happy that his life took a turn for better.
Classic Phil. An hour-long interview where the sexy chick only asked like 4 questions. Dude can talk the talk.
And walk the walk.
( mind the pun) 👊
Adam Turner respect
@@adamturner1563 I recalled that Full metal jacket scene
Phil is the chuck norris of the metal world.
Even Superman stumbles.
Phil rocks man rip dime and Vinnie miss y'all get ya pull
The guy is brilliant. So blessed to have people like him in music.
Phil's a powerful dude. Wow.
Phil always was a powerful dude. Still is . Always will.

How are you now?
Very insightful interview/speech by Phil...I don't think anyone else could put it in words quite like he did...
This is absolutely one of the best videos I've ever seen. I'm not even a massive Pantera fan, but this guy. Man, brave guy. Thank you.
I have gained so much knowledge and respect for this man😌
I like how he talks, I could sit and listen for hours
First off I think a bunch of kids and people need to watch this video. Phil speaks the truth about addiction and life in general.

The second thing I want to say is that Phil and Pete Carrol may be the finest gum chewers I have seen in my life.
Damn I've been on a three day alcohol binge but I know exactly what he's speaking about. Your mind won't let you rest
ChrisMontante hope you're doing better
This is the best! Never seen this side of phil before but its worth watching!
Best interview/speech ever.
I don't see anyone like him
I listen to this every night before i sleep.
It gives me good vibes.
This breaks my heart because I lived it for 7 years overdosed 10 times thand God I'm still here and Phil as well .
This is very heavy and real. Love Phil.
Just like pantera. Heavy and real
When Phil speaks that it comes up in your lyrics it really shows in The Great Southern Trenkill
I suffered the same blown discs, the surgery that is a Brutal, Horrific two stage event that nearly killed me, and

It's so interesting listening to him talk.
Wow, Phil is such a talented writer. The way he explains those experiences is so vivid and makes you feel as if you're there. Also, what a hypnotizing public speaker as well. Love you Phil!
"Because that is where I am always" I don't think the human voice has ever hit an octave as low as the last syllable of that sentence
This video is one of the reasons I admire Phil so much he leaves nothing on the table he's one of the most honest singers out there he's been through hell and back but I'm so happy he's stayed clean
This is cold & extremely intense. Fuck.
i love his accent...southern man.
phil's metaphors are deep as fuck damn lol.
I've met Phil at several DOWN shows. He has such a strong presence and personality, very funny and extremely approachable and happy to meet fans.. Nice guy
listening to this man gave me one of the most intense hours in my whole life - thanks loads!
I love Phil anselmo!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Raw Power!!!!
One of the most amazing persons in this world; so charismatic!!
Love you Phil! Takes a real man to admit mistakes let alone allow the world to know...
I met this dude !!!! never forget
Possibly one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Thank you sir.
in the last 5 years of struggling with addiction , he said everything ive been thinking , id like to say Thanks, really Thanks
That journal entry is bone-chilling. I genuinely love this guy.
Thank you Phil for your words. I hope Mike 9 is doing better after the bust during Katrina. Your many bands have always been there thru the dark times... Hope to have that strength one day
Phil is a great speaker..a true "story-teller"
This is some HEAVY fucking shit! One of the best things i have seen in my life! Phil is the man!
Every young adult should watch this. Period.
I like that he thinks before he speaks. We all should. Don't be mad at the silence , catch the points. been there and back
I could listen to Phil all damn day
Who is jack
The kid! Great and honest person, greatest vocals of all time!
19:00 - Phil's average day when he was a heroin addict
32:25 - The event that made Phil stop using heroin
Thank you
My favorite musitian, and probably one of the greatest songwriters in metal history: Pillip H. Anselmo. God bless Phill.
Dr. Phil Anselmo
Professor. Phil
I did`nt like this guy at all, but after hearing this I fucking love this guy! Boy can I identify! He has given me inspiration at a time when I need it bad not to mention how coincidental it is for me to just click on this during a really strange time. Thanks Phil!

He is SOOOOO right. just look at the musicians who are super famous now.
Thanks for uploading. I watch this a lot. I also run by Loyola a lot. Helped me kick smoking. Never did heroin.
His description of a dope day was pretty much spot on....and it's a hundred times worse when you're going through it.... long live Phil... RIP Dime...
What he speaks is the absolute truth... For those of us who know we know... A relationship with opiates is rough road that leads all the way to the scene of the crash.
I thank Phil for his candid discussion regarding the most difficult matters. I also thank Pantera as a band for their inspirational music.
This is absolutely brilliant. Phil has been a hero of mine for almost a decade, and this only continues to make me appreciate him further. Thank you
I've been there. Thank you for speaking about this.If it saves one life, you are a hero. All these "lortab or norco "junkies.have an no clue what they are getting themselves into. .
this was great! much respect to phil for saying whats real and not sugar coating a god damn thing. awesome! im glad he was able to over come his demons and still be here to give us his music and not become another tragedy. well done!
All my respect to Phil, he's an awesome Person. Saw him live on last monday with the illegals, it was an incredible gig and he looked very lively, i really believe that he's clean for many years. I wish you all the best Phil!
All due respect and props to the interviewer
I have been sober for a very short time but u just summed up everything about my experience I could never put into words much respect and love thanks Phil.
Phil is a good motivational speaker, really. Aside from his talent of music, he's a very characteristic speaker too, he talks slowly so's you can understand him. Very deep interview, I've seen it literally 30 times already but it never gets old. Sludge!
phil! your the best fella , thanx again brother
