Pantera (Phil Anselmo & Dimebag Darrell) On The Power Hour (October, 1990)

Dan Gallagher interviews Philip Anselmo & Dimebag Darrell on the Power Hour (October, 1990).
This was Pantera's earliest interview with the band on network TV, and you'll notice that there's just a clip from this during the Volume 3: Watch It Go home video, right before they play the video for Cowboys From Hell.
Here's a chunk of the interview.

[@jaycopiskey]

I had the privilege of seeing them 3 times in their prime in the 90's. I have seen a shit ton of metal show's since. In the end, no one has been able to change the words since then coming out of my mouth of, The best show I've seen? Hands down, PANTERA!!! When ever I left their show, I was always mentally and physically exhausted. And I'm not talking physically, just because of the pit, or whatever. Seen them in Minneapolis with Sabath, in general seating, same result. They put every ounce of energy and passion that 4 humans could possibly give for 2 hour's, that it left you fucking exhausted. And if it didn't, then you were not paying attention, and that is factual. Love them, hate them, didn't know them? When you left their show, you new who they were, and what they were about. Chemistry like no other. In their prime, before the heroin. Sad!
