Phil Anselmo

It was everything that I wanted from them.

Phil Anselmo screaming his heart out, but also scaring the bejesus out of me when he gets into that low growl that he does.

We're taking over.

And you got Rex Brown.

that's right.

He was in that band Ibon with Phil Anselmo.

That's

right, he was.

Yeah, you mean the Metallica option?

Well, yeah, he's just staying apolitical and trying to avoid headlines and that's... been their way the entire time because he's just trying to avoid controversy

yeah I mean he's also a pal of Phil Anselmo I think the guy sounds like a fucking knob I don't know him but he sounds like a fucking knob on paper to be fair by contrast Frost is meant to be a really nice guy he's a very strong reputation he's a nice fella no sketchy rumours or comments that I'm at least aware of he plays in that band 1349 I think have at times been quite outspoken in terms of distancing themselves from some of the more saw

them in the barfly once actually

Like, you know what I mean? They've got that following all around.

Even like Phil Anselmo.

Yeah.

Like, he loves them too.

And that is somebody that I am thankful that it's not I don't have to sit here and go, you know, should I or shouldn't I enjoy or appreciate his music? He's he's somebody which I mean, look, look, look, look again.

I don't want to bog this down because I know I did the episode on Phil Anselmo and and Pantera's vulgar display of power.

And several of you reached out at your displeasure with me.

for even platforming that and talking about that.

So for the longest time, like that was this goal I set or this kind of checkbox I set.

It's like you play there, that makes you a real musician and rock star because the list of names that have played that stage is crazy, you know? Phil Anselmo, the list, the singer, Lane Staley, Lemmy Kilmeister played that stage.

Um, Wayne Static, Manson, um, the list goes on and on and on.

And, um, I had seen some of my personal heroes there.

Buckley lives in Covington on the North Shore.

10 or 15 minutes from Phil Anselmo, which is a sentence that only makes sense in Louisiana.

On Who Writes What, Kirk writes most of the riffs for Crowbar.

Matt Brunson writes less, but what he writes is great.

That's fine.

So, it's like the band heard us and Phil Anselmo said, I give you this.

And the myth dropped, which is the opening song from volume five.

The myth is... a fucking stone cold absolute raging banger of a track right it evokes everything like this is down to era down right which is my down right i know you're you're nola ride or die to me the second album is better i don't give a fuck i don't give a fuck um to me down to is the better album This feels like down to right from the off.
