Pantera's sound will be forever immortal and timeless
True that.
ageless and timeless
You mean Exhorder's sound will be forever immortal and timeless.
@@DakicSlobodan no he said it right nerd. Exhorder is a damn good band but they didn't have that sound on slaughter in the Vatican. Pantera did it their own way. Doesn't matter who did what first really. There's genre's based on sounding like Sabbath. If exhorder wrote the recipe, Pantera baked the fuckin cake jack
@@DakicSlobodan no he said it right. Exhorder is fuckin good band but they didn't sound like that on slaughter in the Vatican. Pantera did it their own way. Who cares about first there's genre's based on sounding like Sabbath. If exhorder wrote the recipe Pantera baked the fuckin cake
In my opinion, this is the King of Heavy Metal vocals. Hands down.
Hell, the whole band was, still is and will always be the Biggest and Baddest MF Metal band ever! 🤘🫅🏻🫅🏻🫅🏻🫅🏻🤘
Facts.
Not now but definitely in the 90s
I'd agree with you, but over the last 10 years Greg Puciato from Dillinger Escape Plan really changed the game for stage presence IMO.
@@alexstoj This. At the time, it was a huge vocal sound, although death metal vocals were also coming up. It has aged fairly well, although some songs (thinking CFH era) the vocals especially are ripping off Halford.
THERE'S NO FRONTMAN LIKE PHILIP GLAD TO SEE HIM AND REX BROWN WELL! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS PANTERA TOUR. RIP DIME AND VINNIE. LONG LIVE PANTERA 🤘🏻
fuck yeah
phil core !
Tribute band. It's not Pantera
@@shawnryan1313 you go do you. I'll do me and remember smoking on their bus after the show.
@@shawnryan1313 oh I am. Everyone gets old. Even some die in schools from shooters. Imagine that
@@lifeintornadoalley lol I drove the bus.
Phil is the only one who puts emotion in every word he says. Sometimes three different emotions in one sentence. Cool dude.
yes! you can really hear in it his singing too :)
so basically the OPPOSITE of Trump?
intense
Phil had a rough ride but he's genuinely a good dude under the tough exterior. I don't care what they say
He didn't used to be but definitely is now
@@ash80510 He grew up. He was just 1 of those tough wild young dudes. We all knew a couple shit some of us were that dude
@Nemeth He's not racist. He always said things like that. At 1 show in the late 90's he said this is what white people do. Like how they say it's a black thing you won't understand. Well, this is a white thing they won't understand. Talking about the mosh pit. I don't get why Black people can say black pride but if a white dude says white pride its racist.
@Nemeth No its not. He fucked up got caught up in the moment. It happens, He did apologize for it.
@Nemeth Thats exactly right. It does not matter. When they have the reunion tour it's still going to be packed. Maybe you and everyone else who got all in the feelings about it can protest outside? I don't know what to tell ya. I'm still going along with thousands of other people.
Phil and Rex continuing with Zakk and Charlie Benante is a no brainer. It's the best way to honour Pantera's legacy. More power to them.
Vinnie didn’t want it. Phil and Rex are broke. #fact I want to throw up at this concept, but this is LITERALLY what capitalism produces. Phil and Rex will burn in hell for this.
Rex looks rough... Phil left the band. This is going to be a huge fail. The founding members are gone. This is a horrible idea.
@@roryramby522 A fail because Rex looks rough and Phil left the band 20 years ago? There’s no logic in your statement.
It's great if they want to have fun, make some money and please some fans. But it if I remember correctly, the guitarist and drummer had something to do with the sound, feel, groove, attitude and the soul of the band. And they're not available. So. it's a kind of defilement of the grave.
@@questioneverything1933 he can't sing pantera songs anymore
In every recent Phil Anselmo interview he never fails to bring up Dime and how great he was as a person and a musician. Hes always trying to keep Dimes memory alive through personal anecdotes as well. The respect and admiration this man has for his former bandmate is like none other. It’s no secret that Dime had a huge impact on Phil and still does to this day
@AJ Martin don't watch then
@AJ Martin you’re blaming Phil for something that a mentally deranged psycho did. That’s like saying to blame the person that says “jump” when someone jumps off a bridge. You’re just a hateful person that’s blaming someone for a mistake that they regret from 20 years ago. You’re the disrespectful one here
@DabDaddy you're right but sometimes people go through crisis. No one expects when they say something bad to someone close that it'll be the last words you ever get to say to them. Obviously the words were empty, he was drugged out of his mind. The funeral thing is understandable but Vinnie really should have made up with Phil at some point . Just because Phil broke up the band and said awful shit doesn't mean he's responsible for the shooting.
The mid 90s PANTERA shows were still to this day the best Shows I have ever been to..The unity between the crowd and band still hasn't been matched..I have been to 100s of shows and you can't beat the 90s Pantera shows.
Wish I saw them, this is going to be heavy as F. Looking forward to see them.
Agreed. I've been to 100s shows, got to see PanterA 3x's in the 90s, still today, my favorite shows! The band and the crowd, no bullshit
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been to 100 plus shows as well. When Pantera was on, it was like a 20,000 person machine!! Unreal.
@@billz5780 yep guys those were the days..So glad to have been a teenager in the 90s.
I saw my first Pantera show in '97 with White Zombie, you really had to be there to see the insane loyalty of the crowd and their connection to everyone in that arena. Never will there be shows that electrified and pure metal madness like that again. ✝️ RIP DIME 🎸AND 🥁 VINCE CFH FOREVER!!!!GETCHA PULL!!!
Phil seems to be in a nice place right now. Even his voice is not that low growl anymore all the time.
True. He's a lot more 'lucid' even his speech pattern is flowing nowadays. Edit_ The guy's been clean for like 15 years, as far as I know. Gotta love Phil.
@Mandie Shumway yeah the drinking lol prob not the heroin
Ik he’s getting older
Phil is like the crazy uncle everyone wishes they had.
Dépends how old you are!
He reminds me of my cousin but my cousin is just a crazy uncle not a fantastic front man. Lol
Last week my crazy uncle blasted this love and did an entire performance while rolling a blunt in the parking lot at dave matthews concert. People left. It was great.
@Nemeth here's the troll again with the little pussycat sissyboy logo.
Not white persons disagree😉
Glad to see Phil so happy and sober. Just five short years ago he was still struggling.
He's been good since he quit the drinking
Phil needs to know how much we all respect him. He’s an incredible talent.
Anselmo has always been one of the toughest hardassed front men in history !! NO ONE could've fit the bill like Phil did 🤘
hadn't thought of that, but ur right: he's prolly the toughest mthrfkr to ever front a band.. I would never want to piss him off
I always enjoy what Phil Anselmo has to say. Vulgar Display of Power is such an amazing kick Ass album and even though Vinnie Paul and Dimebag are not here with us anymore may they both rest in eternal peace. I hope that the Pantera Reunion of sorts works out well for both Phil and Rex Brown and all those involved in it
It's NOT a reunion. It's a tribute band
@@lifeintornadoalley stop getting technical incel
@@lifeintornadoalley What an original comment! Don't like it...stay home.
@@Skulllywag I sure will. Along with countless other bands that pulled from this tour. It will fail. Don't like it? Oh well
@@lifeintornadoalley Pulled out of tour that hasn't happened yet? Boy, if you had a brain you'd be dangerous.
They may have founded the band, but Pantera was more than just the Abbott brothers. Phil had a BIG hand in how they got their more heavy 90s sound, so he's perfectly justified to both speak about those albums and be part of a tribute outfit.
100%
Pantera isn't Pantera without Phil. It's like a recipe with all of the right ingredients. Not the same with some different shit
Absolutely
Pantera is phil rex dime and vinnie. It must be these 4 to be pantera.
@@Dwightaroundyolips Pantera isn't Pantera without the Abbott's.
Man I gotta be honest here. Pantera changed music. I’m so proud of Phil. Last time I saw him on stage was with super joint in St. Louis quite a few years ago. Absolute fuckin train wreck. He was so fucked up it was bad. To see him now…… complete 180. Now as far as the hate for the pantera reunion, how many bands out there don’t have their original lineup? About 75% of them. I’ve saw pantera 9 times, it’s gonna be so badass to take my daughter to a show.
I saw him do a Pantera set at one of the final Slayer shows and he's back on point. I can't wait for this tour.
The "sounds Pantera had" was the sound we all wanted. Thank you Phil for your contribution to my childhood memories.
The album that really did it for me was far beyond driven. I remember being 16 years old in 95 and when life got tough and I felt like giving up I would draw so much strength and motivation that nothing could shake me. Let the war nerve break!!!!!! Ok im getting into a whole nother album here but what I'm trying to say is stay strong my brothers we will win if we don't quit.
STRONGER THAN ALL!
Far Beyond Driven delivers such powerful thoughts of becoming stronger and overcoming any demons, life traumas we may get through, and battling the following feelings of being vulnerable.
In one side you have Strength beyond Strength or 5 minutes alone, and on the other you have Harden Lines Sunken Cheeks, 25 years, and Shedding Skin.
I know exactly what you mean, aside from the music Far Beyond Driven had some great lyrics. Everything PanterA did is completely lacking in metal music now.
For anyone saying they shouldn’t tour, the Abbott family gave them their blessings. And Zac is more than obliged to play one of his best friends riffs, and is very capable.
I know as a fan that bought their first album, or tape, when it came out, I’m excited as hell to hear this tribute tour. Trust me I guarantee Dime and Vinny will be there hollering “Getcha Pull” !!🎸❤️
@@HansTyndale revenge? the fuck are you on about, shit-for-brains
@7:50 Those leaves falling on Phil while talking about Vince and Dime couldn't have been timed more perfectly.
There’s NO band more badassed than Pantera. 30 years of listening and playing guitar with their badassed songs, and never gotten tired of them. Getcha pull Phil! Please come to East Coast Canada!?
This guy will always be my favorite frontman in Metal
SO GLAD YOU’RE SOBER PHIL IVE BEEN WAITING FOR 20 YEARS
Respect to phil. I always look to find new stuff with him. Huge fan of all his work. Pantera fucking rules!
BIG fan here of PANFUCKINTERA!!! 💯🤘🏻& ANYTHING with the Almighty Philip H. Anselmo 💯👊🏻💪🏻🤘🏻 since the early 90's, BEST times EVER!🤘🏻
I was totally against this reunion idea because the brothers aren't involved, but after seeing the regret and pain on Phil's face about this and his reason for wanting to do this, I have to take back my mentality. I'm a believer of God and I genuinely believe this will give Phil closure and do right by his fallen brothers. ❤️🤘
the abbot family estate approves the tribute tour
It's the best possible way to heal the fan base. I'd bet a fortune Darrell would be embarrassed by the hateful angry fans continually digging up the past and crying about Philip. Its THOSE fans that are destroying the Abbotts legacy more than anything
@@integrity101 exactly. Dime was one of the most forgiving and level headed, welcoming people in the business.
@@cory-o-cookies95
I hear ya but I'm dead serious though. I've certainly been very hostile in the comments recently so I'm also guilty but these fans hung up on break up drama from twenty years ago are DESTROYING Pantera, and thusly the Abbotts legacy. They really are. Almost everyone angry about this will cited break up drama as the reason why. Also... critical thinking is dead. VINNIE PAUL was not against pantera songs being played live and he was never once asked the right question. A true reunion is impossible. Asking Vinnie to participate in a "reunion" is really asking him to go talk to PHIL *which would have required digging up a past he was desperately trying to move on from."* It would've been incredibly painful for him. No one ever discussed this. No one. Is it not obvious?? Like Rita said the more fans pressured him the worse it got. The man needed time to heal. PTSD is no joke.
Vinnie would have had to walk through HELL to participate in a reunion like this. He died before he was ready and selfish Pantera fans made it WORSE.
Even Rita said she didnt see Vince as much anymore because she knows when Vince sees her he is reminded of what's missing, his brother. That's just Rita, now think about seeing Phil...
"For me theres no bad blood at all with my former pantera bandmates." - Vinnie Paul
You realize theyre not your family so you owe the Abbot family nothing and they don’t give a sht about you. You’re just a consumer who’s depriving yourself of an experience that millions of other people will line up to take your place for
Phil: I know Dime and Vince would want the legacy and name of Pantera to go on and on, and in everybody’s damn face.
Dime and Vince in heaven: *make leaves drop* hell yeah man
Yeah that was kinda spooky
@Nemeth it's not a cash cow dumbass. If he needed cash he could just tour with his other bands it isn't about money. They got the ok from both brothers estates and are doing this as respectfully as possible. Dimes wife Rita is on board 110% if both brothers were still with us they would have likely already reunited at some point. Vinnie said no because he didn't wanna do it without dime and also he unfairly blamed Phil for dimes death. That was the only reason he said no like he did imo. This is easily by far the closest we'll ever get to seeing pantera perform again. We got half the original members and 2 other guys who were good friends of the brothers and the band and are also extremely talented in their own right. It isn't the same but it sure as hell beats the alternative which is nothing. I'm excited for this. Yall can just sit home and hate away while the rest of us rock out to some pantera songs.
His voice sounds better than it has in recent years. That's nice.
I got the privilege of seeing Pantera live twice and Down once. It was one of the most musically unified experience’s I’ve ever had. Everyone there was there to see them just tear sh-t up.
Never saw Pantera but Down are one of the greatest live bands ever
I saw Pantera live only once at Ozzfest 2000.
Phil is kind of the American Lemmy as far as that gravely tone goes. Was so stoked that he covered Ace of Spades
Nah that would be Chris Holmes
@@DrDanka69 who tf is Chris Holmes 😂
@@Tommybouy666 that’s just sad lol
You HAD to see Pantera I caught one of the very last shows 11th grade of high school. Waited my whole life for it (last time they played here was 95 before that…no clue who Pantera was in 5th grade). Soon after, we all know what happened. Forever grateful to witness the raw power that was Pantera. This is awesome to see an interview with Phil. I love hearing what he has to say. RIP Dime RIP Vinnie Pantera was and still is the heaviest band in the world. Nothing will ever come close.
They were more than legendary. The most loved band ever.
SHREVEPORT LOVES PANTERA!
We were like their 2nd home. Hell, Dime & Vinnie & Rex met Phil right here. And the legacy of the Pantera we all know started right then. They even played their first show together right here in Shreveport, as well.
Shreveport has ALWAYS supported Pantera. Ever since the early 80s, before Phil joined the band. He joined because WE FANS IN SHREVEPORT introduced them all to one another. 🤘❤️🎸
We miss you fellas. Louisiana has always supported Phil, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Pantera, and all of Phil's other band, too. We love ya, Phil! 🤘
Phil is killing it on the tour!! Hats off
First time I saw them was 92, in a club in Vancouver. It was insane. My ears rang for two days 🤣
Was at the last Pantera concert at the Coliseum 2001. Looking forward to next year. Hope they stop by Vancouver.
@@briancorfield3844 Hope so. That first show I went to was at the Commodore.
That last answer from Phil reminds me of the Shrine Auditorium show when the front barricade broke, and we all went up on stage just to dive off, and they kept playing. Was amazing!
Man! This new Pantera setup in 2023. I haven’t been this happy about music in 20 years.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Greatest to ever do it. Simple. Bring on the Tribute.
Phil is a modern age poet. Misunderstood in his time. Over 20 years later were finally starting to understand what he wrote as a culture. TGSTK saved my life, gave me an out for the shame and anger. God Bless.
Phil always brings himself to the edge of crying, but never does. I respect the hell outta that.
Phil is so fucking cool. I’m met him backstage in Louisville, KY at the 101 Proof tour and he was awesome. Such a nice guy to a younger me that was a little star struck at the time. And yes back in the day you had to go see Pantera when they rolled into town.
Can't wait to see you again brother. Haven't seen you in 10 years with super joint
Phil is the best!
I saw an interview from 5 or 6 years ago, he looks and sounds so much better now.
He actually smiles around the 7-minute mark. Pretty rare occurrence.
Love ya Phil...
I have to live with the fact of not seeing Pantera so I'd do anything to see Philip and Rex unite with an ass kicking show!! I could then say I at least saw these two Rock Legends of Pantera and die happy!!! ☮️💜🤘
Phil, you freaking rock! Pantera forever. 🤘🖤 you fellas (RIP) make my day, every freaking day. I love y’all hahaha
The first Pantera gig i went to in 92 was insane. The energy of the crowd was explosive. The mosh pit was raging and that groove and chunk from Dime and Rex's guitar and bass was amazing!! So Fing heavy! Great memories! So glad I got to see them in their prime!
Wow his voice sounds way better! He’s definitely been working on softening his voice since the vulgar display livestream performance last year
When he talks people listen. He is the only person that truly want to listen to myself. The Universe loves him bit not as much as I do. 💋
i think he's single... 👀
@@BlackRider115 If he was I would have already been married to him. I want to marry him. We are close now but I want to be a whole lot closer. I live in Louisville and he's in Louisiana. Not to much distance between us. I love him. ❤️
@@vampira7580 Go get him
@@BlackRider115 I have to. I have to let him know how much I do. 💞💞💞
@@vampira7580 Yes!!
Great interview, what awesome albums.
So glad I saw Pantera live last week, I can die happy I saw my idol live!
Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹. Am English, and you were part of my world during college and working at a live music venue. Thanks. You were amazing and you still are. Jo. X
Vulgar display of power is the greatest metal album of all time. 96 ozzfest at giants stadium was the heaviest show of my life. 60,000 people going apeshit.
Love ya Phil.....Carry the torch.....
I watched this guy play in a garage band at a skating ring in Houma Louisiana with him looking like the singer from Poison all glammed out. He burned a joint with us on the side of the skating ring and it was the first time I ever smoked weed. He was a really cool guy. Guy was a rock star then. He was born to front a band. One of the best to ever front a band. Without this guy in Pantera, Pantera would have just been another unnoticed band. Guys like Dime are a dime a dozen. Hundreds of thousands of guys can shred like that. There is only 1 Phil Anselmo. Regardless of what the brothers want to believe, it's just a fact.
Couldn’t get anymore harder than Far Beyond Driven but Vulgar Display of Power was one of my favourites and the Abbot brothers will always be missed but I’m sure both brothers would agree Zakk Wylde is a phenomenal guitarist 🤘😁
The Great Southern Trendkill achieved that easily lol
@@terryburton971 I think it and reinventing the steel also was heavier but not by much the last 3 albums they did were similar heavy wise all 3 are heavy as fuck they all are but in particular the last 3.
Zak was really good friends of the brothers especially dime that along with his talent are both good reasons why he makes a great choice for this. He's easily the best fit by far imo. He does have a different style and sound but he is a badass and a professional he will do it justice I assure you.
So long as zak leaves out those dreadful pinch harmonic squeels which I'm sure he will. He will need to get dimes tone and guitar sound totally on point also.
He sounds so good now. If you watch his Loudwire interviews from a few years back, he sounds like he's gargling sandpaper and can barely squeeze out a sentence. Getting off alcohol really did him well
i went to a ton of Pantera shows in the early 90s. The most vicious pits ever. So much energy...brutal, and so much fun. I am so thankful i was at an age where i could enjoy it and partake in the pits and the moshing. Incredible.
Your lucky my friend! I've been blessed to see many of great bands. But I really wish I saw Pantera in their prime. Was too young :,(
This is cleanest I’ve seen Phil in any interview since mid 90s
0:00: Phil reflects on creation of ‘This Love’
1:33: Expectations for Vulgar Display of Power
2:43: Phil talks writing the main riff for ‘Mouth for War’ & Dimebag improving it
3:37: Favorite Vulgar tour memories & Suicidal Tendencies’ Mike Muir saving the day
5:47: Writing ‘Walk’ and his initial resistance to the chorus
7:14: What Dimebag & Vinnie would say about Pantera’s legacy & their dream for the band
8:04: What the shows were like in ’92 for Pantera before they exploded
7:14 you forgot to tag the entrance of the goat 😆 🐐
you forgot the wind and leaves falling right when he said Dime and Vin would want Pantera to keep going. badass
Phil rules metal vocals the same way Sebastian Bach rules the glam genre
Are you serious?
Ever heard of Johnny Thunders?
@@User-un7so are YOU serious? You ever heard of Catty Catman
@@User-un7so that's punk or proto-punk but for sure the Dolls are hugely influential to 80s glam rock and metal.
Btw i see Skid Row (and W.A.S.P.) as just traditional heavy metal.
He looks and sounds much more clear headed and centered than in past years. I saw Pantera a few days back too, his voice is PERFECT too.
I think one of the main things so cool about Phil and all the guys from Pantera is just that they were always like the biggest fans ever!! Being that, they were always open to hanging with the fans and giving us all just a little bit of themselves! I was at the last Slayer farewell show at my hometown venue, Salem, VA, and during the entire Slayer set Phil was stage left just jamming out, it was awesome to see!! To see the enthusiasm he still has to this day is amazing, and you can't phone in or fake that sort of stuff, you can tell he really loves it!!
I love the fact that Phil is still focused mainly on music. He puts it over the career and fame. He doesn't care what people think, he's just focused on what he loves. He's the guard of metal. Hands down!💥
At 8:22...The NYC show Phil is talking about was in 1992 at "The Roseland Ball Room" (The best venue in nyc to see a metal show!!) [52nd Street and Broadway]...The pit was insane, people moshing like maggots, bodies flyin'. Dimebag throwing cups of Black Tooth Grin into the crowd. People leaving the show looking like they got out of a Pool because of the sweat. There was nothing like a Pantera show at "Roseland" nyc ...If you've been to one you know exactly what I'm talking about. ;-)
I went to the reinventing the steel tour (3 night in a row) in NYC and I was able to see damage plan... it was amazing seeing Pantera and a great joy seeing damage plan and dimebag. Getcha pull
Saw Pantera in 1992 in Jacksonville FL on the CFH tour and it was in front of about 250 at a skating rink of all places. Still was a great memorable show.
I was 17 in 1996 when I saw my first ever concert White Zombie and Pantera at the Minneapolis Target Center. Saw Pantera 4 more times after that. Pantera the kings of metal! 🤘
I saw them on that tour when I was 15. My mom took me. Deftones was there too. I took my daughter to see deftones 2022. I told her, I haven’t seen these guys live since 96 with grandma. Haha. She had the😳 look
@@perplexedpat That's awesome! Yeah it was Eye Hate God, then Deftones, then White Zombie, then Pantera. Loudest concert I've ever heard in my life. My ears are still ringing 27 years later lol.
Some people might say… ‘violent’ , but I’d say ‘beautiful!’ ♥️ I love Phil. I hope I get to see the “reunion tour.” I’m sure Dime and Vinnie will be happy.
I saw Pantera back in the 2000's, in Texas, and really, no other band can compare to them. So... I will be seeing them whenever they come. I just highly doubt there is a person who can fill Dime's shoes. So... I would like to be surprised. I think my country is first in line. Mexico baby. This year.
Nobody's trying to fill his shoes or replace him or his brother they're honoring them by letting their music be heard live the way it should be once again. Zak is the best person possible for the job he's supremely talented as well and was also a really good friend of the brothers and in particular dime. His sound is different than dime but he is a professional and he will definitely do it justice and represent well.
I literally feel every word of every single song Pantera created. Wow. #1 forever. Sorry. Wish I could’ve seen y’all rock the hell out. I can’t even watch this video, my soul is connected to your work. Changed my life. Still is
That sounds so lame.
Phil Anselmo, an absolute LEGEND among us all!! Just we all wait until the new PANTERA TOUR coming up!!
Cowboys From Hell Phil’s vocals were supreme. Vulgar on he started losing those octaves and range and went deeper.
Cowboys is the worst Pantera album because of Phil's vocals
This is not the greatest band in the world.
This is a tribute.
Don't like it, stay at home.
@@Skulllywag Tenacious D
Good one! That did run through my head.
Its not a tribute band with 2 of 4 original members. Phil was an extremely important part of pantera. He was the voice of pantera, wrote all the lyrics and a few guitar riffs as well. They are paying tribute to panteras legacy and allowing us fans to experience seeing them live again even if it's only half what it once was that will blow anything out there right now away so I'm pumped. I am also a fan of Zakk so it will be cool seeing him perform with them. No it won't be the "same" of course it won't nobody is saying it will but it will be by far the closest we'll ever get to seeing that greatness again and it is a good way to honor the band and the brothers.
@@midnight347I agree wholeheartedly, I just saw the hoopla and really wanted to make the tenacious d reference.
Zakk Wylde was a great choice, he's as much a fan of Dime's as we are.
I saw you at the Dallas Arena with Skidrow and you played Vulgar Display of Power before it was released and I fell in love with metal that night and left saying Skid Who. All I had was a black leather coat to get Dime and Vinnie to sign. I have not missed a DFW show since then. I must say last November you came to Amplified live with the Illegals and you brought it with an old school vengeance. Love seeing you guys come back around again. Miss you Dime and Vinnie and I thank you for your kindness while you were here. Can't wait to see the honoring of their legacy as well with the talent you are playing with. Getcha' pull
Phil has always sounded like he has heavy metal stuck in his throat when he talks and sing. Pantera was and always will be the savior of metal. They will live on forever.
No one is going to see this Pantera tribute band. Rita killed it off already. Atleast she was smart and waited for Vin to die to sell off the rest of dimes stuff, and sell vins house. She's currently working on selling the rest of dimes stuff, including selling dimes estate to an investor for demolition.
Perfectly Said @Life in Tornado!!! Nailed It!!!
@@drewsbrew69 sad that I've hung with them the night before dimes assassination. The icon in Buffalo NY. They both are so humble, and never would of thought Rita would do this. Such ashame. And a waste. She'll pay for hers soon enough.
@@vodkaa1 it will be. And nothing will come close to Pantera. Not even this tribute band.
@@user-fw3vv4id5z righto. so do the bands that dropped out of the tour right? grow up
Revisionist history
You mean history. That's all history.
@@Dwightpower88 I'm fairly sure and I could be wrong that VP was dead against anything to do with phil.
Nahh
@@Arron-S - You’d be correct. The idea of Pantera coming back with Zack on guitar was thrown around while Viinnie was still alive. He made it clear that he wouldn’t do it without his brother and wanted nothing to do with Phil.
Call it anything you want.... Except pantera
I love his stories man. Thank goodness Phil is still around
Phil is a great lyricist when he struggles hard. That makes everyone dynamic. Dealing with the real world consequences of being a metal legend. Love y’all. Love the fans. Love the southern metal. Love it more than America. It was more American than America
I still love this guy!! Always will. And I will be going to see the tour.
Phil Anselmo is a LEGEND.
I saw Pantera two days in a row. July 3rd and 4th at the Expo on the Far Beyond tour.
One of the best times I had at a show.
Happy to hear his voice is not stuck in Drop C tuning anymore.
Best heavy metal lead man. He is just so good. Feelow New Orleanian here. His property seems so peaceful. This man has lived a rockstar life
I can't wait to see Philip again. I hope that it's soon because I am absolutely excited about it! I love you Philip Anselmo ❤️ 💋❤️🔥
@Phil anselmo It's nice meeting you anywhere doll face. 💋💋💞
I’m still head banging to pantera! Every damn day! Wish someone would ask more into “immortally insane”, and “where you come from”
That memory of Phil writing the the main riff for "mouth of war" and Dimebag liking it hit Phil right in the feels. Mine too.
Damn, it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen Phil. He looks good and sounds good. Awesome to see him doing well.
They did, just couldn't run with you, totally looking forward to the upcoming tour!
This is the first video I've watched of Phil where I feel confident that he's sober and healthy....finally!!! No wonder he's sounding so good on the tribute tour. I can't fucking wait!
Great interview 👍🏼🙏
Just Imagine if dime and vince were still with us, you know pantera would absolutely shredding for us all right now! Looking forward hearing so pantera live, i never got to see them
i hate when people get on here and correct people, i really do , and this will be my 1st time , sorry dude only doing it out of respect for Dime and "Vinnie" no i just cant do it , carry on
Phil always has a very relatable way of explaining things.
The Prong story is so funny, uncanny and surreal. Such a legend and an inspiration. Always.
So great, I love hearing about these nits and bolts analysis.
Phil always has something interesting to say and it's awesome.
I'm so happy to see this tribute tour happen. I think it all really came down to Phil getting his shit together. And now is finally the time for this to happen.
It really sucks that Dime and Vinnie are gone, but the people that never had the chance need to experience Pantera. Let's all get our pull.
It came down to them running out of money.
God, time flies. Loved me some Pantera in the 90's. Just raw aggression. It was definitely a go-to in the locker room for high school sports. Their energy was unmatched. Now Phil is an old man and so am I lol. Glad to see he's doing so well.
Saw pantera with white zombie small club in Nashville in 92 up front held dimes mike stand during walk. The top had broken meet the band loved them all but phil was so gracious to me and my friends we will never forget that show powerful 😎
DAMMMN Phil! You wrote the Mouth For War riff!! That riff taught me about harmony and dynamics in riffing.
Yea he wrote several riffs actually and all the lyrics and stuff he also was the major factor in them shifting their style to what made them great after he joined. Phil is far more important to pantera than alot of these haters wanna admit. I love that they're gonna tour I'm gonna go see it I'm a fan of Zak as well so it's pretty cool to be able to see him perform with them. Sure it's not the same but 50% of pantera is better than 0% of pantera.
This Love - My favorite love song
