Philip Anselmo: My 5 Favorite Pantera Songs

As the iconic frontman of Pantera, Philip Anselmo sang on six of the Texas metal juggernaut's albums: 1988's self-released offering, 'Power Metal,' plus their five classic major-label LPs, 'Cowboys From Hell,' 'Vulgar Display of Power,' 'Far Beyond Driven,' 'The Great Southern Trendkill' and 'Reinventing the Steel.' We recently talked to Anselmo and got him to pick his five favorite Pantera songs. His choices might surprise you.

I feel sad that nobody is talking about Phil; His vocals were badass when needed, and soothing the other time. The whole band was perfect, Dime, Vinnie, Rex, oh man, they kicked

[@victherattlehead5099]

Yeah phil kicks ass, mean sure when phil was on drugs which was most of the time, his singing was bad live but goddam I would say the best band fucking ever man

[@jcass1970]

I'm so pissed for losing it, but I had a tape of Phil singing with Lillian Axe from way back in the day. It was a shitty, garage type recording before any of them did anything, but his vocals stood out over everything. Without trying to sound "funny" the dude had a beautiful voice and his range was incredible. He sang "Letters in the Rain" and "circle" something, I think....I can't remember the Lillian Axe tunes. Your comment reminded me of that. Now I'm pissed all over again.

[@anthonyserrata2863]

He quit pantera...did people forget Phil left? Go back and listen to what Phil said about leaving?

[@betterthansex123]

Phil is one of the most versatile heavy metal singers of all time, a great lyric writer, an honest man, and just happened to be a key member of arguably the most innovative and powerful metal band in history. You may think people aren't talking about him, but I'm an enormous fan of the guy.

[@hinjurock70]

[@Wargasm644]

I always said “people don’t realize how massive Pantera was (is)”. They had a number one fucking album in the height of the grunge scene. When everyone was saying “metal is dead” Phil and the boys were feeding the world some dick. The Kings Of Metal. Make no fucking mistake. 🤘🏻

Timelines have so many perspectives. It really depends on where ya from and what music ya listen too. Like I'm sure that rap was doing great in the 90s too along with pop but people don't talk about that.

[@Wargasm644]

@@EvAn-tm3yb rap and pop we’re doing great too. But at this particular time, grunge was ruling the world. It had so much influence that even pop stars and rappers were wearing flannel. Lol. My point is, Metal was supposedly “dead” at this time in music. All the hair metal bands had given way to the angsty grunge kids. Even real metal bands like Slayer and Metallica were having a tough go at it. Metallica should’ve been the one to lead the metal charge. Instead, they cut their hair and started wearing makeup. They became the posers they despised. Pantera picked up the metal flag and flew it through the 90’s. When no one else had the minerals to do it. That’s all I’m saying. That’s my point. 👊🏻

@@jeffh123 don’t know what life you were living, but Pantera was packing stadiums and amphitheater’s in 94 supporting Far Beyond Driven (#1 album). Saw them in 94 in Nashville at the Starwood Amphitheater. Had backstage passes and got to party with Pantera and Prong. Yeah, Metallica prob didn’t start their full on poser look til a little later in the grunge scene. But they had laid the groundwork to pussification much earlier. Starting with the Black Album in 91. Up until that point, they were a thrash band. Not to say the Black Album was total shit, but it did disappoint a huge part of their fan base that were thrashers. But by this point, the mainstream metal community and the masses had made Metallica their own. But they were continually softening up whilst Pantera was doing the opposite. Metallica started out brutal and became posers. Pantera started out posers and became brutal. That’s why a lot of hardcore metal fans jumped on the Pantera bandwagon during the 90’s. I’m glad Metallica found their way back eventually. Everyone I knew in the 90’s loved Pantera. They were huge. To say “a lot of people didn’t know Pantera in 96” is laughable. They were at their peak. Either you’re from a small town or weren’t very engaged in the music scene back then. I guess it’s all a matter of perspective. But from where I stand, Pantera were the Kings of Metal in the 90’s. 🤘🏻

Drag the waters is a song that you can play for a non Pantera fan, maybe not even a metal head and you can communicate what Pantera is as far as their attitude and style and aggression that is controlled and then let loose in an artistic way. Doesnt sound 'metal' to say but Pantera 's music is the creative lifeblood of thrash/groove metal music whatever name you wanna tag it with. Those album that music will live forever. Those guys were ARE at a different place compared to their peers, up with the Zep, Slayer, Metallica and Iron Maiden. They belong up those guys.

You can see how Phil is in a special moment in his life, I've been noticing this for some years from now, don't know what happen or happened to him but I feel like he is in very deep touch with life with himself and others, I have the feeling like he is a very spiritual person

[@cogumerlimgaming9803]

Yeah, that's what I've been noticing too. He's leaving that "uber-macho-racist" persona and reconnecting with what made him truly great. When you literally die from drugs that you get into to treat your back pain, you come back with serious trauma. No wonder those guys got progressively estranged, Phil was going through some serious internal transformations/doubts/revolts, those kinds of stuff not even you yourself understand. And now it seems like he "understands". He can speak of when he entered the band, the period in which HE STILL WORE SPANDAX and sang VERY HIGH notes, with fondness, reminisce and connect. He can speak about the lyrics on No Good and say it was "ridiculous". He sounds like a man in peace, a whole person, instead of the fractured and troubled person he ended up being in years prior. That is commendable, and makes him more likeable.

And 1 of my favs

[@victherattlehead5099]

Yessir, war nerve is my favorite

[@misharamaniuk9367]

My favourite too!

[@Dr_El_Stauncho]

Would have been better if it had a guitar solo on it

[@reachblowsdick7222]

My favorite Pantera song, "Walk" It's perfect, heavy riffs, pounding drums, dark edge bass, "fuck you" vocals, iconic solo. Perfection!

[@shepshe66]

YUP AND DOMINATION

[@josevilla8586]

I’ve always liked Pantera since I was 13. I’m 24 and for some reason I love them now they are my favorite band of all time. It’s cool that alot fans feel the exact same way. Something about Dimes playing inspired me to learn all their songs. It’s crazy how they are no more 😢 was

[@baller84milw]

I love seeing interviews like this where its a true fan with deep respect for the musician asking the questions.

[@succulentstan]

My favorites gotta be: The entirety of Trendkill Use My Third Arm Shedding Skin Hellbound Uplift Love PanterA, Trendkill is the best in my opinion. Showing love to anyone who reads this, have a good day knowing that you love the best frontman and band of all time. Relax and have a drink yall🤘🏼

“Underground” is the best..

One of the best interviews I've seen with Phil. He's happy and enjoying himself. Top stuff. \m/

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

This was a cool interview. Since I just started listening to these guys my top 5 are : 1.avoid the light 2.slaughtered 3.floods 4.suicide note 1-2 5. 5 mins alone

86-90 best years ever if you were there. Brutal pits, awesome dives, casting horn shadows on Dimebags Dean. Love Primal Concrete Sledge at #2

[@kadoman65]

Thanks very much for this interview…Phil looks awesome and sounds healthy. Made me smile. Hollow and The Sleep are oddball masterpieces

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

Always fascinating. I was so lucky to see them live, one of the best, most fun things I've ever done in my life....

Phil is a legend, his voice and dimebags legendary shredding just made pantera, God bless them all 🤘🤘

[@dennisdinsmore1959]

for me without a doubt 1. The art of shredding 2. No good(attack the radical) 3. 25 years 4. Floods 5. goddam electric

I wish I could chill with Phil for one day and let him know how much of an inspiration Pantera and Down were in my life!

[@only_he_stands_there762]

Dude! Same! Then I think, nah man, I’d just be star struck the entire time and he’d think I was some weird mother fucker! My favorite frontman of all time!

[@linda-brookethompson5345]

I commented on this video and had someone comment back claiming to be Phil. Not sure about that one lol. It appears I am the only person this poster responded to, which would be weird if it were, in fact, the real Phil Anselmo.

[@shanekirksey8543]

Thank you guys so much for this one fellas! Loved it 👊

[@TheBluntist619]

My boy Phil. Always a pleasure hearing him. I still enjoy all his music. Pantera is the pinnacle. RIP to the brothers legend

[@TheM7drummer]

I knew and saw them play from 1987 to early 90s in dfw clubs. They absolutely killed every time out.

[@sabra401]

Yes I saw them a few times in NJ. Amazing live, just amazing

[@kevinclements7977]

You a lucky dude to see them back then❤🤘🤘🤘

[@fabfrenchies1974]

I WAS a massive Metallica fan in those days, then Pantera came along, and I was like WOW, my new favorite band! Ever since they have remained my favorite of all time! Wish all the love to Phil, and Rex! Hopefully you guys can talk some more on things one day!

[@VIPVIP-wg2fz]

I feel the same way,I have so much love for these guys on a personal level.Watching the Vulgar videos was one of the greatest moments ever to me,I'm so glad they shared those with us!

[@wormbaby666]

I agree that this was a really enjoyable interview and that a Pantera doco would be sick. I'm glad they took the time to pull out Phil's 5 faves; it draws out these cool little stories, that I'm not sure I'd hear otherwise. Thanks guys. Pantera are awesome.Make a doco; see if it makes some money. :)

The middle section of primal concrete sledge may be the heaviest riff ever.

It's more thrashy rather than heavy.

You can really see how much love he had for Dime and Vin…

I’m so glad I got to see Pantera back in the day, they was such a special and perfect band, Pantera and Panteras sound is what most metal bands thrive to be and get because there sound was perfection, dang I miss em! R.I.P Dime and Vinnie

[@Disc1]

What a beautiful interview

[@matthewlivingston3168]

Im 38 now. And I remember growing up on the navajo reservation and all the metal heads talking about pantera. I had no electricity or tv. And I was in town visiting my aunt who had cable tv. I saw the Walk video on MTV. And I thought for the longest time that Phil Anselmo was Dimebag Darrell. The legend of Dimebag I thought he was the guitarist and singer. But later from a guitar tab magazine I found out Phil anselmo was the singer. My mind was blown! lol

[@sethdogok]

Cemetery Gates, Hollow, 5 Minutes Alone, 10’s, Floods. Almost threw in Hard Ride!

[@Beelzebubba2823]

Hard Ride is a badass track.

[@MODERN-GAMING-IS-TRASH]

10’s is a masterpiece

[@bapro1715]

Saw a gig in '19, Phil let some fans in wheelchairs in between the security cordon and the stage, so they could watch the show aswell. Superhero of Metal.

[@boofert.washington2499]

They let me do that at a Corrosion of Conformity show, and a Gogol Bordello show. And I got a sweet spot on a side catwalk at this old factory for a Clutch show in Tyler, Texas last year. I'm in a wheelchair, so I'll get sweet views sometimes. At a different Clutch show in OKC this year, they put me against the rail in front of Tim the guitar player.

[@stoneosborne9247]

11 year old me getting The Great Southern Trendkill and playing Floods on repeat, mind blown.

[@indominion]

These interviews are Golden. Hope Phil stays around a long time and tells us much more.

[@piffpete420]

The best concert I’ve ever been to. The band had a keg of beer on stage passing beers to the crowd, and Phil called out someone pass him a joint and took the biggest hit I’ve ever seen in between songs Epic!

[@tompatchak8706]

Like in Vulger Video? Tossing drinks into the crowds

[@pedroandremendes8444]

Damn, all the songs that he choose are super awesome!!!! By Demons Be Driven is a monster of a song and oh my frkn god his lyrics: Serving the faith Abduction the oath It lie in wait for the offering Religion is old For drawing the young Purity withers and dies Never return to the ones that provided Children draining parents of will I hold out my hand to bloodless child I'm taken by the one I was saving From death By demons be driven Beckon the call With decline in mind End not far We're left hanging alone here He pulls us from nails Shatters our bones Leaving us crippled and strewn Boiling my corpse in the blood of his children Praying for his god to prevail Burying us with loved ones To sleep with shelled children of the sixth dimension By demons be driven Beckon the call Will rock my soul for eternity!!!!! Thank you so much Phil!!!!!

[@leoncarlier]

Phil is just a legend of prolific proportions. I just love the guy. Heroin couldn't stop Phil, nothing can.

"You've got to belong to it" remains one of the sickest song i've heard from the band. This album is so underatted

[@bubbasnek7349]

The last noise Phil makes. Thats the sound of days passed

[@aquaagu2]

I love how Phil talks about these great memories with great people; his band mates. Just goes to show when people were that important and pivotal in your life, after they pass only the good memories shine through, not the superficial bullshit that was said between all of them. I love this band.

What i wouldn't give to just spend a half hour with Phil picking his brain. What a prolific artist he is, and a one-of-a-kind human being.

[@2clicks2theright375]

I’m glad Phil got away from the opiate it was just ruining his life and I am glad that he went and got the help that he needed because if he did not get it done at that point he would not of been here talking to us about music. He looks a lot healthier and you could tell that his mind has healed and it is awesome that he is talking to us about his favorite top five Pantera songs

[@theneighborguy]

By Demons Be Driven was my intro to PanterA, I wore that cassette the fk out on that track

[@headbanger2867]

This is awesome!! I want to hear him talk about their records for a few hours.

Loved that he chose some deeper cuts from the catalogue. I'd throw in 'It Makes Them Disappear' all day long, absolute banger!
