heart men thinking
We, PANTERA, had the greatest, the most intense, dedicated fans I've ever seen in my ******* life. And I really hope with all my heart that one day, people - especially our fans and my friends - can see clearly enough to think for themselves and really realize that I have nothing but love for them. I've just been going through personal hell since December. Once again, it's very hard to talk about, man. You know, my heart is in a thousand pieces a day.
tired get-real
There it is again. Image. Once again. I get really tired of it quick
thinking sea world
I think music is a big, big wide world, and I am voyager on this particular ship in this sea of wild music, and I'm gonna dive in and find as many fish as I can and catch them all. I love music.
lying believe evil
I won't lie to you and make you believe what's evil, is making love, and making friends, and meeting God your own way... the RIGHT way.
hardcore following
We definitely have a hardcore following.
done wanted i-can
I can easily say I've done everything I've wanted in music.
letting-go song guitar
Speaking of stage freight. I was terrified! It was in NOLA at an all ages show. I was wearing Jeans, a Van Halen t-shirt, and a bandana on my neck. Once I gripped that microphone stand, I did not let go! I plugged my microphone into a guitar FX pedal. Then at the end of the a Black Sabbath song we were covering, I hit the guitar pedal. It was horrific!
sound heavy-metal pantera
Pantera revolutionized the sound and the approach to heavy metal. It's been regurgitated. Once you up the production on a product and not just the playing but the actual production, then it's going to up the ante.
real important today
And it seems to be today, image is a real important thing once again
past healthy type
I am the type that cannot stay put in living in the past and solely in the past. It's not healthy and it doesn't feel right.
song band radio
I guess I've never been introduced properly to Pink Floyd. I know they're great, don't get me wrong. Excellent, excellent musicians; great band; awesome harmony; great song writers; I just don't know anything besides, I guess, the popular songs on the radio.
wise nice boys
Down is an incredibly important band to me. And there's one other project that may be a little tough for people to understand - it's not sonically heavy, but subject-wise it's absolutely heavy. It's a band that I've been in for many, many yearsm and I've just been waiting for the right itme, and boy, it sure is the right time. So, yeah, you will hear music from Philip Anselmo again, and it ain't gonna be nothing nice.
clear-head helping goodness
There's always something going on, but thank goodness these days it's with a clear head, which helps me massively.
successful thinking done
I'm a bad pessimist. I don't think about how successful any record I've ever done is going to do before it came out.
