Damn. I love that man. Everything about him. He's made mistakes but he's an intelligent guy with a lot of talent and I just have so much respect for him.
I dreamed yesterday that my high school class went to a DOWN concert, and after the concert everybody had to do an essay of the message of every song and also there was a press conference with Philip aswell. AWESOME; he shook my hand and I almost pooped my pants. I mean, the dream seemed so long, I can remember the concert hall and every song they played. That dream was so awesome.
Ive watched DOWN & Metallica in Kansas City,MO Phil's voice was mind blowing as it was an indoor concert .. you could literally feel the echo of Phil's Deep voice ...
It is undeniable that Phil seems pretty burnt out , but you have to admit that he has tremendous courage to still put himself out there. He is still a human being like the rest of us, with all of his flaws and his strengths, who has made music that speaks volumes in terms of its impact on heavy music. To all those who delight in his dysfunction, I say shame on you. I respect him for making the attempt to cope with life and convey some fragment of how he views the world with us. RESPECT
his voice is amazing.. so deep... i know its from the drugs etc... but you can sense there is a great amount of pain and wisdom in it and that he is a person that has suffered a lot in his life :(
Great post. I always thought that Phil never got as much cred for his lyrics that he deserves. When I see him I think of him as he was as teenager, like 15 years old. He must have had a hell in school, and probably made school a hell for others as well, but still, there you have him: a smart, thoughtful, sensitive person. Man, what an asset (I might use this word wrong now, sorry for that) he must have been, but it seems no one paid attention. Great interview...best, Sandemose
Was that the year that they toured with megadeth and heaven and hell? Because that was the year I saw them and Phils voice was still great at that point. Their energy was incredible!!!! Did they ever get the crowd moving.
My parents tell me to do my homework, i don't do it, my teachers say to do my homework, i don't do it, Phillip H. Anselmo says to do my homework, i do my fucking homework
Yeah... I was flying above NO a couple of days ago, and had all these thoughts about people that suddenly got ripped of anything they had, other than themselves. It is hard to imagine...I salute all the people who remained strong and true to themselves and their loved ones.
I think is a great shock to him... just this, but at the same time i feel interesting what he said, its he, what he ever did in life, its down, i like a lot this band, because i feel what he said, its come from the heart, its pure, its cool.
hey guys im going to metallica concert on nov. 9th in ohio. down is with em but i never have followed down. loved pantera, so my question is does down do any pantera songs at their concerts? or any tribute songs to dimebag? cant wait to see em, just realized phil even had another band. guess i been lost.
Phil tells it like it is. Makes no apologies about it. For that I appreciate his insight. He has survived Katrina as far as other natural disasters.Hope to see Down in Portland,Or soon Stac
Phil has seen brighter days; but hes alive and kicking, he loved Dime like his brother, PanterA days are over but he keeps giving us some ownage good music. Keep on dude!
yeah dude, I miss the old phil, the sharp, intelligent, energetic phil so much, I really do. He was so much, he could've been so much more too. These interviews are painful to watch, it really brings me down.
from what i read in an interview he denied ever using heroine and he said that he was hooked on pain medication that he received after a back injury which led to the demise of his relations with pantera. he also stated that he was breaking that addiction and was goin to try and remain sober from those meds.
Phil is such a strong caracter...he's been through so mucha and kids and the media have dragged him through the worst shit...but he's just right up there doing what he does best... you go Phil!
hes not. that interview was before i saw him at the download festival. at down he mentioned how he is never going to stop smoking because it dosnt do anything.
It's true that Phil's heroin addiction was a big part of why Pantera broke up. But as a man he deserves respect, he has contributed so much to metal and many different kinds of music in general. He is not perfect, and he made many mistakes, but he is only a man after all. He seems very remorseful of the way things went down, and I'm sure he regrets leaving Pantera. But this is a great musician here, he is not just some junkie. Phil is an icon, and he should be respected.
yea go to his main website u can hear him speak and sound sharp as an owl big difference than here i seen it and was like dam he sounds like the old phil
@JohnDoe66669 in fact it depends on the way you write the name. There are more than one way. The way it is mostly spelled in Europe - with th - it might be etymologically derived from the greek word "katharos" which means pure. (Just as in "katharsis")
seems weird to look at him now in comparison to old Pantera, i'm not sure if its the drugs he's taken, or if he was stoned/drunk at the time of filming but he's completely different
love his hair this way
I wanna see him grow his hair out again while he still can lol
Looks Like Snape 😂
Damn. I love that man. Everything about him. He's made mistakes but he's an intelligent guy with a lot of talent and I just have so much respect for him.
Handsome Phil Anselmo!!!

Man, this is sad to watch. Phil's wild days have really taken a toll on him.
A true legend. Keep doin' what you love.

when Phil talks everybody keeps quiet and listen
he s one of the gods...

this is the era i got to see down live. when he had the long hair. seen em again this year at rock on the range, but 2008 shows were fucking amazing
@EMG ESP, i agree, i saw the 'Over the Under tour and the show was unbelievable, such a raw, out for blood, trueness
Is it just me or did he have so much more vitality with that longer hair?
Was that the year that they toured with megadeth and heaven and hell? Because that was the year I saw them and Phils voice was still great at that point. Their energy was incredible!!!! Did they ever get the crowd moving.
i met phil !!! he's a great dude !! i spoke with him 25 minutes and he's so nice !! god bless you phil
Thx for uploading!
he looks awesome with long hair
i like the insight phil has about music, truly it must come from inside wether from the heart or the soul.
I was there that night, amazing show, amazing band, amazing MAN!
I love how he always sounds like he's either high or drunk
Sounds...yep
drugs
his voice is so deep my speakers are vibrating along the desk haha
Balls of steel that's Phil.
My parents tell me to do my homework, i don't do it, my teachers say to do my homework, i don't do it, Phillip H. Anselmo says to do my homework, i do my fucking homework
dude hes baked..
god bless phil. hope he can come around to be like he once was..
che gran pezzo di figooo!!! I love this man!!
At beginning phil looks like he's bursting with laughter because that scottish accent, or is that british
Its a scottish accent, glaswegian.
@coupeaudi1990 I take it you are a thick as fuck yank? Wank.
@@glasgowdmon made me chuckle.
Aw Phil, what a guy. Love him.
he's insane. i love him
he has the most awesome speaking voice. His singing is awesome too
He took a shot on this night and it wasn't whiskey. But I have stuck with him since 1992 when I was 12 and always will.
It was pain medicine from his back surgery, not heroin.
Methadone
Soma and lyrica.. pain meds.
@@Neo-Midgar this was years after his back surgery. He’s admitted since this interview he has relapsed on heroin many times.
AMEN BRO AMEN!
phil is THE MAN-love this guy he's always been pure metal
Bless him
i miss 2008
man! the last time i saw Phil...he was Bald and he had so many muscles...waaa!
the dude so rocks man!
I don't care if he's high or just chilled out and relaxed
I forgot to mention.
He made that comment about Dime in an interview with Metal Hammer Magazine 4 years ago.
Yeah... I was flying above NO a couple of days ago, and had all these thoughts about people that suddenly got ripped of anything they had, other than themselves. It is hard to imagine...I salute all the people who remained strong and true to themselves and their loved ones.
Does anybody realize that he's probably just been smoking weed before this interview?
It was the upstairs bar at the Carling Academy.
I really can't get over how deep his voice is. It's unreal :P
for all of you wondering about his state of mind. JUST LISTEN TO HIS LYRICS!! he is telling you everything...
I think is a great shock to him... just this, but at the same time i feel interesting what he said, its he, what he ever did in life, its down, i like a lot this band, because i feel what he said, its come from the heart, its pure, its cool.
He has an awesome voice ^_^
Phils sounds so relaxing :D
hey guys im going to metallica concert on nov. 9th in ohio. down is with em but i never have followed down. loved pantera, so my question is does down do any pantera songs at their concerts? or any tribute songs to dimebag? cant wait to see em, just realized phil even had another band. guess i been lost.
Phil tells it like it is. Makes no apologies

natural disasters.Hope to see Down in

So true...hope this energetic dudes just sleeps inside of him.
Ready to wake up \m/
High or not I find this interview very interesting and what Anselmo says makes way more sense than almost all of the comments posted here.
hes not. that interview was before i saw him at the download festival. at down he mentioned how he is never going to stop smoking because it dosnt do anything.
it's alright, i didn't exactly try to make myself clear, so at least you took time and responded :)

But this is a great musician here, he is not just some junkie. Phil is an icon, and he should be respected.
the interview is in scotland..
not the u.s.
wow
he's in another planet
What album are they talking about?
@parafleet
I Agree with you brother!!! Stay clean Phil! you're amazing and strong! take care of you precious life!
Amazing Man.....Trend Kill 4Ever!
Holy shit...strung out...this dude right here is FRIED!!!
Love some Philip H Anselmo and anything New Orleans sludge.
@sepul071200 Richardson, and yes, they are very much together.
never seen him without a chin goatee.
yea go to his main website u can hear him speak and sound sharp as an owl big difference than here i seen it and was like dam he sounds like the old phil
Phil is the man!
@JohnDoe66669
in fact it depends on the way you write the name. There are more than one way. The way it is mostly spelled in Europe - with th - it might be etymologically derived from the greek word "katharos" which means pure.
(Just as in "katharsis")
this man is smart, and a great song writer... much more then i can say for 99% of the posters here......
@SteveoNegative
when I read your comment about slipknot log immediately came into my mind and you spoke it. great comment
happy birthday phil!!!(six days later)
well said my friend!!!
How long before Phil is in a nursing home wearing depends?
hes happier now man
HE has had hard times
but hes smarter now hes going way faster
hes getting better
love u too
Man, this guy looks freakin' wasted, but he is still one of the best vocalists ever so respect to him...
so true man, it's even worse when u watch the mtv interview from 1992 where he was so lively and wasn't takin' drugs (i think).
for sure it does!!!!!!!!!! one thing does not have to do with the other!
seems weird to look at him now in comparison to old Pantera, i'm not sure if its the drugs he's taken, or if he was stoned/drunk at the time of filming but he's completely different
When we all have nothing, we are all equal.
@anutoldlegend89 ur right u can actualy see it in his face in every photo video or gig ....
@SteveoNegative whoa partner where along the line have slipknot sold out? coz i sure dont see it
Glad phil is still with us. I think hes a shadow of his former self, but hes still here.
c'mon people, this is 2 years old. Look up interviews from '09 and '10, he's rejuvenated and appears to be sober.
sometimes he sounds like he's about to cry.. =P hehe.. You gotta love Phil. Great guy
well, as i do not know him personally i'll take your word for it.
as far as I know.. he always has spoken like this...
