Quotes By Phil Anselmo

To me, I'm for a band whose forefront is the music.

And it seems to be today, image is a real important thing once again.

It seems like if you are not painted up special way or have some tailor made outfit to put on to go out on stage... I don't know... there's too much of it out there.

I can easily say I've done everything I've wanted in music.

I wasn't that wild about that. I told them basically if they were really going to want to bring back heavy metal to a program on MTV, then they are really going to have to get in touch with what real heavy metal is.

I'm glowing in the dark with my studio tan. I've been in a cave of music for months and months and months.

I tried to take heavy metal... and balled it up and chopped it in half and really tried to create a new form of energy. I really tried to re-shape extreme music as I see it through my eyes.

We definitely have a hardcore following.

There's always something going on, but thank goodness these days it's with a clear head, which helps me massively.

There has got to be a lot of unreleased video out there, live footage and whatnot. There's always going to be something extra for the Pantera fan.

With this LP we were all very clear on the approach we wanted to take, which was to do something heavy, but also experiment with a lot of other things we really like.

There it is again. Image. Once again. I get really tired of it quick.

This is the band I always wanted to be in.
