Isn’t the previous interview with you guys that screwed things up?
who wants to read about Anselmo, Pantera were class but who can forget what the prick said about Dime and holding that knife with Dimes face in reflecting in it, the mans a serious fuck up who dont deserve a voice. Let him rot.
mrmetal666: Do you really buy into all that shit? lol You know them personally? The band was splitting…and yes a huge shock and dissapointment when Dime died but theres nothing to say Phil did that its bollocks really complete bollocks.
Dimebag’s wife on the otherhand disrespectful not allowing Phil to go to the funeral !!!
shut up man,if you haven’t got anything contructive to say then don’t say anything at all
man ..i dig phil as a front man and as a singer but fuck some of the shit that hes done i just dont know..
OK, the guy was extreme. He was in an extreme band. Is someone here forgetting this? Judge him all you like, his life pisses on yours. If he fucks up it’s his business, he’s been sorry enough for his assholery
But Metal Hammer, Phil Anselmo isn’t metal! Hahahahaha
Fucking GREAT interview. Regardless the dude’s a fucking legend and one of the best vocalists/frontmen metal’s ever seen! A must read for any Pantera fan!

The whole fucking situation from the band splitting, and Dime’s death was all around a fucking huge loss and tragedy and I wish it never was the case of reality. Anyone who hates Phil for what happened to Dime, can go kick rocks. It was not his fault in any way. Everyone has fall outs and hatred is traded. People say shit they don’t mean in the heat of a battle. That’s how it rolls. Keep the blame of why and who. It means nothing in the end. Try to remember the life of PANTERA and DIME and honor without fail because to this day, I blast the sound everyday and still feel the same as it made me feel when I first heard. AMAZING!!
