I've never listened to or followed Pantera but this doesn't surprise me at all because of my time in high school. I lived in Ripley, WV, population 3000, and there was one functioning band in town, Death Core War Machine. They were essentially a Pantera cover band, although they knew a few hits by Black Label Society. The kids in this band were self proclaimed Nazis, and whenever there was a falling out in that group, they formed another little gang and called themselves Communists. I just assumed the entire time they didn't know the meaning of any of it, and cracked up when a kid wore a hammer and sickle with that red cancellation circle on it on his shirt. I guess something more sinister was at play. Oh well, I still got to see their melt down across two talent shows.

Christ this is old news. He stopped talking to Kerrang in about 1994 when they reported he said he hung about with white power guys. Long before the ozzfest shit of a few years ago. I'm sure there's a thread on it somewhere. Phil Anselmo = Scum.

GWAR Frontman: 'PHILIP ANSELMO Is A Loser, Junkie, Scumbag, Asshole Motherfucker' - Nov. 11, 2004 In a brand new interview with DenverAccess.com, GWAR singer Oderus Urungus (a.k.a. Dave Brockie) was asked if the band focused more on the music or the elaborate stage show in their early days. "At the very beginning, we didn't concentrate on the music as much as figuring out what GWAR was going to be," he said. "This is before we even recorded 'Hell-O'. We would just get up there in costumes made out of paper mache and just play one chord, but when we saw the unlimited potential that GWAR had, we started taking the music seriously. Now, in order to keep GWAR going, we have to spend more time one the music. Everybody knows the show that we do, but we are still maligned all the time by dumb-asses that think we don't know how to play music. If we didn't know how to write music and play our guitars, this band would have lasted one maybe two albums instead of being the musical jaggernaught that we are. I'll put GWAR up against any metal band, anytime, and we will kick their asses to the dirt!!"
DenverAccess.com: I'm sure that Phil Anselmo and SUPERJOINT RITUAL would love to hear that.
Dave Brockie: "Was Phil talking shit about us again? That guy's a fucking pussy. You know what?! Anytime anybody talks shit about GWAR, they get it thrown right back in their face. I know Phil's girlfriend, and he says to her, 'Oh, I love GWAR, I love GWAR.' That guy is such an ass, he invited us out to see his show in Orlando and then he makes fun of GWAR from the stage. I can't wait to run into that dude — I'm going to put my fist down his fucking ugly throat. He is just a loser, worm, junkie, scumbag, asshole motherfucker. I can't believe he wants to criticize GWAR, the greatest band in rock and roll band in history; he can lick my diuretic code-swipe.
"I'll tell you a funny story about Phil," Brockie continued. "We were in New Orleans, and that faggot piece of shit came on our bus and was like, 'Hey, man, you guys got any of that crazy shit?' We were like, 'What the fuck do you mean?' And he started slapping his arm and was like, 'You know that crazy shit.' I guess he thought we were a bunch of junkies.
"Fuck you, Phil Anselmo. Will you please print that in your article? And your stupid fucking stupid SUPERJOINT RITUAL dumbass band, you fucking suck, die!! We fucked your girlfriend way before you."

Pantera were great!
Phil being a racist arsehole doesn't affect the music. If anything his idiotic hatred and fear are part of what made the band so good.
Where are the threads about how Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Phil Spector, Public Enemy and Bad Brains are rubbish? (Child abuse / wife beating / murder / racist / homophobic)

all this business makes these lyrics um, intriguing:
No Good (Attack The Radical)
In the states There's a problem with race Because of ignorant past burned fires From evolution We've been killing each other I figure man should have it down to a science
No chance Not for a minute Not for a second I won't be defensive I'm straight out In my opinion You'd better listen to a man who knows what he's saying I've seen your side You run and hide for the mere fact that you feel inferior Be superior And know your interior
(Pre) Race, pride, prejudice Black man, white man No stand Live in the past We make it last A hated mass No solution Mind pollution For revolution
(Chorus) So low behold my eyes This land of fools will rise No good For no one You're no good For no one
You blame oppression and play the role of criminals To rape and burn shows progress is minimal White hoods and militants you know it's such a pity Living, breathing Violence in your city
If one man Had one home In one world He'd live alone Without variety Full of anxiety No one to point at, question Or even talk to -- in his private grave No matter what color He wouldn't be saved, From hell He dwells A closed mind playing the part of prison cells
(Pre)
(Chorus)

Pantera weren't a racist band, Anselmo is a racist cunt though. So fair enough.

Wow. Phil Anselmo's an idiot. In a way, I almost feel bad for racists who don't actually know that they're racist. I know Black, Indian, and Asian kids who were into Pantera in high school. I'm not sure where that footage was taken, but if there were any non-white fans in the audience, I bet things got real uncomfortable from there on in.
I love angry white men who are too stupid to even notice that the deck is already heavily stacked in their favour.
