[@iler859]

Phil looks +10 years younger with hair

[@Antarath]

Yep. Phil in 95 when he started growing his hair.

[@evwell3988]

he look like Jim Jefferies. Prolly not drinking helped too.

[@MrQuakerJaker]

Probably cause he dyed it.

[@iler859]

I dont believe he dyed it.

[@MrQuakerJaker]

Bwahahaha, yeah cause its totally natural for your beard and goatee to go gray but not your hair... Geez... Some people

[@aaronestes3905]

Phil hits 50 and decides to be heavier than he has ever been and harder than any other band out there. Hail Phil!

[@eden2esthar]

Aaron Estes and he's looking straight up 40

[@aaronestes3905]

Yes, I was listening to Superjoint Ritual when it came out. Im the same age as Phil.

[@dougyoungman4191]

Danny Spence All good stuff. Don't forget Scour, Arson Anthem and the stuff he did with Necrophagia

[@Norman-Bates]

Heil not hail LOL

[@jedisok13]

Danny Spence Look at how cool you are haha. How fucking old are you calling people posers? Congratulations you’ve heard of some side projects he was in that this guy may not know about. You are the coolest person I’ve ever seen. Fucking dork

[@loulabird9332]

"I swear, if I could merely shake it off, I would but I embrace it. " What a powerful line. This stigma has to fucking end.

[@FistOfRuin]

"choosing the mental illness"

[@dissimulii]

what are you even trying to say? some people are fuckin' nuts, there's no stigma, they're gone and they're never coming back.

[@Easun36]

....or not. Embrace it, and to hell with what people think.

[@Obviouslyspecial123]

Big fan of 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest'. Even bigger fan of Phil Anselmo. Thanks for the awesome song and clip guys!

[@Burztur99]

I love to see Phil with hair even for just a moment.

[@diegoaguayopinto7169]

looks younger

[@jamesnunn7181]

There’s old photos…

[@bookreaderson]

2008 Nola university intervue is his best hair style ever

[@brandyjones752]

Phil should go into acting as well as music. I love this movie so much I would like to see Phil in something in a longer duration film as well. This video is so good Kate did a great job. It’s a great start of something that could turn into a larger production can’t wait to see what the future for these are. Congratulations on a great video. I also suffer with mental illness so I’m glad someone is finally putting light on a subject that stays hidden and not talked about openly. I give courageous thoughts to those that aren’t ashamed to discuss topics that can be tough to open up about.

[@A_Final_Hit]

Long live The Kid! 🤘😎🤘

[@osvaldosifuentes9331]

The racist man child yay!

[@budgethitman2212]

And Phil is the kid.

[@slmmdgg]

osvaldo sifuentres get the fuck outa here with that shit Phils the king of metal

[@stonermetalcoven3731]

@@osvaldosifuentes9331 if he's a racist I highly doubt he would put his lips against a black person's face.

[@jeremyjames1659]

That's shot was all PR. To somehow prove he's not racist. You fell for the PR stunt lol. What an idiot

[@johnjiii414]

Well done Kate. Keep our beloved Phil straight!!😹👍🏾

[@UnendingGrimness]

What a genius idea of making a music video based on "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest" with Phil playing Jack Nicholson's part! Brilliant, great adaptation \m/ I literally just watched this movie a week ago lol

[@thecatinthehat2120]

Man that Phil dude looks like the singer from Down.

[@osageetopmoss4464]

Dave Mustaine You best not be insulting this cause its kinda hard to take you seriously with your name as Dave Mustaine and Axl Rose as a profile pic🤔 what are you saying?!

[@FierceMaverick]

Cry axl

[@ispearedbritney]

And Pantera is partly a result of Phil...now we get to enjoy both!

[@myquest666420]

@Metalheart333 Pantera definitely broke up. That's why we had Damageplan and superjoint ritual in the early 2000's. They definitely broke up before dime died. He died on stage with Damageplan.

[@myquest666420]

@Metalheart333 dime dying definitely put the final nail in Pantera's coffin, but at the time Dime died, he and Vinnie said publicly on multiple occasions that Pantera would not be reuniting. There were some serious disagreements between members. Mostly between Phil and the rest of the band. I do believe if Dime lived and Vinnie were still with us, we would see a reunion. I still don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Zakk and Lombardo fill in with Rex and Phil for a show or two. But Pantera wasn't just on hiatus. I do think you're right though. They would've gotten back together by now had Dime lived. It's a damn shame, really.

[@juanfelipedeviabeltran9946]

Phil is a great actor 😎

[@peterborak3256]

Absolutely adore the homage to one flew over the cuckoos nest. It’s my favourite movie of all time

[@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte]

_As a person having mental illness... I really love this song_

[@koraytopcuhimself]

Best metal guy of all time: Mr. Philip Hansen Anselmo!

[@daluncio1124]

Koray Topcu I'd one of, but indeed, from his generation the best.

[@daluncio1124]

This is more like a short film than a music video, I like it 😄😄

[@mijofeo]

Dê Assuncção one flew over the coocoo's nest

[@troylinden369]

More like a direct rip off of the movie mentioned above.

[@Mgla__]

amazing tribute to "one flew over the cuckoo's nest".

[@osvaldosifuentes9331]

A disgrace to jack Nicholson

[@tyrantfrog3010]

Favorite book

[@bultronlagore2095]

osvaldo sifuentes where’s your Oscar worthy performance at? Who are you to be talking about being a disgrace? Your just a jealous POS who will never accomplish anything near as much as Phil has so just keep sitting behind your keyboard thinking your important. Disgrace? Look in the Mirror!

[@mikitz]

Became pretty clear this wasn't a coincidence after they mentioned who the video was a tribute to.

[@paoloippolitoofficial]

i like Phil, awesome acting

[@nosajiksnektoouglyforporn3204]

Phil has Jack Nicholson's facial expressions and gestures down.

[@highlyblessed318]

Phil is one hell of a guy, he played Live Oaks in Monroe, La last year with his other band Superjoint Ritual. After the show as tired as Phil had to been, his wife took my set list paper and ticket on the tour bus and he signed it. I waited on the street like the true autograph hound I'am. I hand fisted Phil so much while he was on stage it didn't matter if I met him after wards. Never quit making music Phil, I'll always be listening.- Ian

[@johnnyrockit913]

Phil's so badass he can make hardcore music look like a dog and pony show while his own brand of hardcore becomes the new standard across the board lol

[@anundyingfire]

How the hell is Phil 50 years old!!?!?!? He looks about 35!! The guy has found the elixir of youth for sure!

[@A_Final_Hit]

Ian M Metal is the secret to eternal youth.

[@zackp5294]

Ian M yea it's called heroin if you can survive it

[@ctrip6668]

Jason M some get high off life or money.....but there's an escape, drop outta the race.😋

[@snoosmumrick5059]

The recipe is weed + beer

[@ceepeepee82]

[@BushDogScrapper]

Phill is fucking hard core he needs way more recognition for how much talent he always has had god bless the CFH

[@maxwellpollville1698]

Thanks Phil. Means a lot. You’re a solid dude with heart of gold.

[@markfrance4251]

Fucking bad. Respect

[@glendah.anselmo7958]

Philip is special to me. I have a deep love for this man! ❤

[@giacomo91094]

What to say...? He is THE metal dude.

[@stephencox4509]

[@rafaellago172]

[@ferrumk5707]

Perfect as always. Greetings from Russia

[@demetriustucker9275]

Some will consider death as a natural part of life. I only on the other hand see a constistent struggle. I see illnesses. I see pain. I see no peace. I see destruction. I see war. I see toy soldiers. I see an empty cause to fray. Shallow life. Darkness death. Spirituality Warfare is real. Some will say anything worth living for is worth dying for, but will it cost a man the price of his soul.

[@ispearedbritney]

You need a hug.

[@nico.ch029]

Im afraid u forgot ur meds

[@saveriorossi6127]
