Honda? Don't care.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

You really think this could be a Honda? Only you delve into these themes, that's why we love you so.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

It's big news in the metal community.

 

[rockaction]

No longer welcome at that festival nor probably a bunch of others. He tried to apologize; I just didn't bother watching.

It's too bad the Pantera story wound up so awful -- they really were a respectable, if not great, heavy metal band.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I don't understand the point of doing this then apologizing.

 

[McGarnicle]

What a dumb cracker.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

He was hammered. True colors. Sad.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

This guy is from my area and he is a horrible human being.

 

[grateful zed]

but he could rock.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Career suicide. Dude is fat, angry, and addled. The mighty have fallen.

like 2 weeks ago!

Who couldn't see this coming? First thing i noticed when i was ordering was they don't even serve pumpernickel or rye bread. Only white. Great bagels though.

 

[DocHolliday]

His career was over after Pantera to me anyway.

 

[Mors Venit]

Bye Phil. Thanks for the memories.

One of the greatest metal vocalists.

Sad.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

One of the greatest metal vocalists.

Sad.

It really is, and he really was a tremendous vocalist back in the day. "Cemetary Gates" might be the best combination of power vocals and melodic vocals within one song in the history of metal.

I saw the footage of him with Trujillo and Grohl doing "Ace of Spades" at the same event where all this went down and Phil sound aggressively bad. He basically ruined the song. Drugs and alcohol just kicked this guy's ### over time.

 

[Abraham]

I didn't realiZe it would be a surprise that he feels that way. Obviously expressing it that way is way off limits, but I'm not the least bit surprised.

Panteta's first two records are phenomenal and, in my opinion, showed thAt a real metal band could have massive appeal. The band had personality and despite being heavy, they felt accessible enough to get some radio play (walk, gates). Growing up in Houston they were absolutely legendary even before their second record.

The combination of wasted,fat phil and dave grohls horrid stage presense really ruined that song.

Band always had the hooks. Too bad this guy seems to have some real demons to deal with.

Hes just a pompous tool.

And im saying that as a big fan.

Might be genetic. I know a guy who is a carbon copy of anselmo. I mean they are like the same person. Hes even from NO

 

[Mors Venit]

He meant white WINE power guys, settle down.

Best damage control attempt ever.

Phil should run for office

 

[Evilgrin 72]

He meant white WINE power guys, settle down.

That was the most flaccid defense ever. Not worthy of the Kid.

 

[Rove!]

Has Eric Clapton weighed in yet?

I dont think anyone would bat an eye that anyone from pantera were racists.

Vin and Dime used to play with david Allen Coe .

 

[Joe Summer]

The thread title makes me think of South Park.

Hot shower!

 

[Koya]

Oops, Nazi.

It's ok to mention Hitler in THIS thread though, right? Oye.

I think this thread is fuhrer game.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

What a moron

 

[Mors Venit]

I much prefer white line power but to each his own

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I was waiting for the next excuse to be that he'd actually said "WHEAT POWER" in a show of solidarity with the American farmer.

Judging by his gut he is single handedly supporting american farmers.

Don't care.

Totally agree

Too bad he didn't do this with band mates during the superbowl halftime.

Would have been more accepeted.

 

[flapgreen]

Legend
