Pantera - cool interview with vinnie and phil (1996)- part 1

Great speach by phil in the end!!!
Interview after The Great Southern Trendkill album came out.
from 1996 the HeadBangers ball show.
under the auspices of MTV

[@UndeadThrasher447]

my right ear really enjoyed this

[@Rendall81]

glad it did !

So it's not because of my headphones

[@Danimal77]

It's crazy to see Phil's transformation from 1994 to 1996. In 1994, he was a smiling, happy guy. He would joke around and his eyes lit up. He had an easy going and fun attitude and vibe. When he started taking heroin, everything about his personality and demeanour completely changed. He became MEAN and dark and serious and obviously, his brain faculties (his speech and his thinking) slowed down a lot. His eyes also turned black. It's as though the heroin robbed him of his soul.

[@crazyworldoffakereality5477]

thats exactly what it does, robs the persons soul

[@GoldenGateNum9]

*_"I even remember us getting a phone call from the president of our label, saying, 'Hey, you guys need to… Be sure and start rapping on your record, add some rap to it.' And we just kind of laughed and said, 'Okay, we'll get right on that.' - Phil Anselmo_*

[@touretul]

Still I remember the 96 as a very good year for rock. It vas Tool with Aenima, Marilyn Manson with Atichrist Superstar, Sepultura with Roots. It was great. Maby the last big rock year in history.

[@studio163]

this was after his od, remember this when they showed it first

[@Noiadohss]

Man when i hear this album i always remember Floods, what a fantastic job Dime did, what a beautiful Solo, and after i listen to songs that Vinnie kicks ass like War Nerve, Sandblasted Skin and 13 steps to nowhere.

great Southern trend Kill is the best Pantera album. Period.

When Phil talks you can tell he was takin heroin

[@GoldenGateNum9]

*Well aren't you the expert. Actually around this period he was taking strong medication for an injury, but he wasn't taking his meds properly, but even if he was taking heroin, what the fuck is it to you?*

LMAO I love watching Anselmos interviews from this era! Compare them to the interviews he does in present day and he seems like a totally different character! He became very humble, im sure being clean and sober had alot to do with it. RIP VINNIE AND DARRELL ABBOTT (and EDDIE VAN HALEN)

Such an inspiration. :)

the whole album is killer! i love all songs! but i would pick up war nerve, drag the waters, suicide note pt 2 and floods as my favs!

Pantera, on mtv? i never thought i'd see that

[@mikidream]

@touretul That's soo true I miss that

[@Manano09]

NIN and PANTERA FTW

[@cabalofdemons]

@VileVengeance Fair enough. It's just in my opinion, Pantera's originality and musicianship is what sets them apart from the bands I listed including JFAC.

[@touretul]

@ffr3ak yeh! good old days!

[@ffr3ak]

@touretul yes dude I was thinking the same thing the other day, there was also Evil Empire by Rage against the machine, Life is peachy by Korn, Eyehategod with Dopesick, Biohazard with Mata Leo, I could count this for a while....man what a crazy year that was, I wish I was old enough back then to go out to gigs

[@dimebagdave77]

@Hopper3513 here's to hoping man! thanks for the support!

[@stevenbrewer5161]

doesn't matter if phill was banged up on H, these guys were the most explosive metal band! you got vinnie a greek God on the drums, his brother will go down in history not because of tragedy but he was a unique and a genius guitar player!! And the bass player was great aswell.then you have phill, the best front man ever, all around the band had a killer chemistry! i think phill had his reasons for taking time off...but how do you not return to the chemistry that you had and form bands that didn't cradle a candle to the chemistry that you had??damit...

[@72marie]

He is the Metal God and he broke his back for his fans. I think he should of got more support when he was in the the middle of his pain and addiction. He was never to damaged to play. Vinny thought he was leaving Pantera when really he was just doing local side projects with other bands or friends while his back healed. It could of all been worked out and i think it would of happened if Dime was alive( They were in the mists of making back up from what Rita Dimes wife stated.)

[@creedman4400]

vinny is bringing chest hair back lol pantera forever

[@whatsthewayforward]

Vinnie looks like Big Show!

[@rolltide91011]

This is around the time Phil started going downhill, ain't it...but he's back on his game now thank God.

[@MrIMPATIENCE]

@touretul soundgarden with down on the upside?

[@Kerrysc]

@touretul @touretul Completely agree with you dude ! I'm 27, i remember that wonderful year like it was yesterday ! Remind me my metal days. i would add October Rust of T.O.N, Neurosis Through Silver and Blood, Corrosion of Conformity Wiseblood, Misistry Filth Pig, RATM and Evil Empire. But even great alternative records were put out : One hot minute of RHCP, Live is peachy, unplugged of AiC, pinkerton of weezer, no code of pearl jam...damn, i miss those days, i do not listen to bands of 2000's

[@SouthernDoom666]

VINNIES SHOES ARE FUCKIN AMAZING!!!!

[@Emanny237]

@Kerrysc Also remember the underground their was a lot of great black and Death metal albums comming out that same year Edge Of Sanity, Opeth, Cryptopsy, Katatonia and Satyricon all made great albums that same year and adding those you already mention just make it a masterfull year. There are are still really good bands comming out in this generation like Mastodon, Gojira, Dillinger Escape Plan, Baroness, Obscura, Nile, Sunn O))). It just has become harder to look for great bands because for

[@dante1995]

man ...the peak of his needle days

[@MrHeavymetaldrummer]

man that interviewer is so hot, it's not the first time I see her I think she was the main interviewer for headbanger's ball, thanks for uploading man

[@VileVengeance]

@ardellgough Pantera is Metal.. I never said it wasn't.. BUT if Pantera never existed there would still be extreme Metal bands out there. True a lot of Metal bands list Pantera as influence but there are many many more influences as well

[@VileVengeance]

@cabalofdemons Yeah I can respect that. I just think it's good that you have a knowledge of all these other great bands out there ya know

[@ozzylaza]

i really only just heard opeth after they released i dunno that album i cant remember now where the conjuration was on. They were in metal hammer and i checked them out but coz they got album of the year ....and i was like " hold up a second, how come i havent heard shit of them " and they are good .....but its so hard to hear anything new now on tv fuck. I remember when mtv used to bring something new to your ear. Now its fucking that show with rich kids all day long ...insane

[@jessecharger]

yeah i agree....they are all awesome but trendkill is more potent than steel

I know a kid named Larry who looks and talks exactly like a very slender phil anselmo and also sped up double lol

[@VileVengeance]

@cabalofdemons yes.. I know of Nile and Behemoth.. I was just stating that Pantera is heavier than all those bands except.. JFAC.. And EVERYONE forgets.. If Pantera didn't exist, John would still be there because of Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Meshuggah, At The Gates, Napalm Death+ many more

[@Theshark15z]

If you campare GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL with FAR BEYOND DRIVEN I notice a slight difference. FAR BEYOND DRIVEN has more of a Hardcore feel to it, while GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL has a more errie darker sound to it like what Phil was talking about in the interview.

[@dodgebee440]

ITS COURTNEY LOVE!!!!!

[@MapexRG]

was vinnie just giving story about phil recording in new orleans to make it sound like there were no tensions in the band?

[@digitalph33rfan9]

I love all of their albums but I think Great Southern Trendkill was their worst. Not that they had a bad album, it's just not as good as Cowboys, Vulgar, Driven, and Steel

phil sounds so doped up. what he says though is ture they do have the fans to prove that this music means more to the people who love it than some disposable crap that people stop listening to the next week

[@Freddie3113]

Wish Head Bangers bull and stuff was still on... I was born in the wrong time period MTV and all other music channels suck now

[@CaptainMcTavish]

@Mmxz14 There are so many bands that are trying, but really, the audience has changed, that's why there hardly any real heavy metal bands today.

@panteraistheshit86 R.I.P. Animosity(Empires), Job For A Cowboy (Ruination), Despised Icon(any album), The Black Dahlia Murder, Decapitated.. to name a few

[@MrBreedhate]

The thing that pisses me off the most is that MTV does not even live up to it's name anymore. The only thing you'll see is pregnant 15 year old girls crying about having babies, stupid jersey shore idiots partying and drinking, and other shit which does NOT relate to music of any sort and this is coming from a 19, almost 20 year old born in 91 who wished to be part of a generation when the music universe actually meant something. I'm glad their are others who feel they need to be born earlier.

[@Aivopiirakka]

You're right. But if you start to use any drug every day, it'll do that. Alcohol every day = the same thing. I've been using marijuana for about 3 years. The first year, I smoked every day, but then I realized that it didn't effect as much as I wanted. So the solution was: SMOKE LESS! So now I've started to smoke 2 times a month or less. And the effect is always enjoyable. Some wise man once said: "Cannabis should be a spice in life, not the main meal." So, never put it on the #1 in life.

[@MrLestatto]

@tubes0308 Still 'Floods' has the coolest Dime's solo ever. @metratix They won't reunite because of what happened between Phil and brothers, and besides, if that ever happened, that wouldn't be the same without Dimebag.

[@badwaiser]

nobody, I repeat, NO BODY has any reasons to drugs, NO BODY. I know a lot of musicians that do music without drgs and thei're great as hel so...who take drugs, is fable

[@DMatt343]

@MrBreedhate Well said, good sir. Good, talented musicians are a valuable commodity these days. I suppose it's always been this way, but the media expounds upon the success of lesser artists much more now. And MTV is a circus; it glorifies the most degenerate behavior in society, and makes impulsiveness and the sense of entitlement that youth have these days look trendy.

[@dimebagdave77]

some people may think i'm full of s%*t,but i'd love to see VINCE and PHILLIP bury the hatchet and start hanging out again.

[@Simon53188]

i think you are right AND wrong, many people including close family members of mine smoke weed to help the damaging effects of illness' like MS. which helps to stop pains in their body and helps relaxes their muscles, but also doing drugs has had also negative effects on people, like Phil, people use drugs to dull pain, Phil was wrong to do it in the way that he did but he was doing what he thought was right, drugs are a bad thing and good thing. it depends on how you use them.

[@m169marroquin]

Not retarded he just had a sickness. An addiction is a disease. But he was very outspoken and said whatever he had on his mind weather it be negative or not.

[@AnchorsAweigh2010]

Ya know?

[@Aivopiirakka]

When you have a problem with some drug, then it's normal to be worried. When you're using some drug and it feels good before and after taking it, it's not a problem. The reason why people are worried of using for example marijuana, is because of 50 years of propaganda against it. When you've said "NO!" for your whole life, it's difficult to say "Yes!" We have one life to live, (at least on this planet and with this mind) so why would you live that life like someone's telling you to live.

[@rawkgawdez]

Phil has the sexiest voice. hothothot

[@badwaiser]

Exactly, that's it. But nobody will delete the day that marijuana will gives you less effect. WHAT CAN I DO?? MARIJUANA DOESN'T TURN ME ON!! OTHER DRUGS, YEEEEAH! They could not be the same, but the first could brings you to the other really, really easy: I know a lot of people that passed on this tunnel

[@josettedianaberryhill5394]

I can't hear a thing.. bummer.

[@SpiritusMundi4EVER]

@Mmxz14 ---so true. I just can't get into all the nu metal, metalcore, deathcore stuff. No offense to bands like Mastodon, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Coheed, etc. I know they're really good players and solid bros, but their music just doesn't grab me the way Pantera, Slayer, etc grabbed me 20 years ago. Guess I'm old school that way.

[@residentevildeadspace5729]

slipknot is great metal band, so shut the fuck up

[@hxcmofoal]

phil is high as fuck :D

[@minorkatminor]

@NoRulesInNam thats when Phil was using heroin.

[@Aivopiirakka]

I don't take anything stronger than alcohol either. I only use marijuana and sometimes alcohol. And do you know the reason why some people take stronger drugs after marijuana? Here it is: Cannabis is illegal, so dealers are the ones you can buy it from. Dealers often have some stronger and also more expensive drugs, that they get from higher position dealers. So, of course they want their customers to buy those more expensive ones. The reason why cannabis might be dangerous = it's ILLEGAL!

[@Abrahamhamham]

Why having long hair if you`re never going to show it ?... but Phil`s the man anyway.

[@cabalofdemons]

@VileVengeance John probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Phil. Phil can sing, yell, scream with the best of them just check out Pantera, Down, and Superjoint Ritual for reference. Vinnie is a top notch drummer whereas Rice is a generic death metal drummer. There is nothing special about JFAC. If you want real death metal, I suggest picking up the new Immolation, Nile, or Behemoth

[@dlakonja]

pls tell me witch segment is so similar to DOWn album????....Im with PanterA since 1994....And thats a biggest idiotism I ever heard.....cheeers to you all ! ! !

[@mikidream]

+Avijit Dev LOL

[@deanguitars15]

marijuana and heroin are very very different.

[@badwaiser]

I'm agree with you that if marijuana was legal, it could be better and less full of shit, but the effects will be minor at long term, and that's the reason why people search stronger drugs. 2 years smoking marijuana every day (1 or 2, you don't need more) will give you immunity to little quantities of marijuana. What happens now? Cocaine, crack or heroine will give you stonger effects by less price (in propotion of quantity) so... That's my oppinion

[@camg4240]

Goes to show vinnie was dealin with phil with kiddie gloves on.
