so I guess we can stop playing the "is he/isn't he game" about Phil Anselmo from Pantera wrt to racism

It seems he's apologised for this, but it's such a politican-style apology which I don't believe or, naturally, accept.

this is quite old but I'd never seen it before and it's funny

That's great!

Aaaaand...consequences. The Dutch FortaRock festival has rescinded Down's invitation to perform.

Wingo was on Phil’s shitlist, and raising the man’s ire with every word he muttered. “We were at this restaurant one night and I said something to him. I was passing him in a hallway, and I was just like, ‘Hey, what’s up, dog?’ and dude grabbed me by the throat and was holding me by my fucking neck man, and he goes, ‘You will address me like a white man.’ And he didn’t let go of my neck, and I was standing there — frozen in fear. I didn’t know what was going on. I was like, ‘So, what should I call you?’ and he goes, ‘You will call me Philip or dude.’ And I was like, ‘I will call you dude from now on, man.’ He let me go and I got away with that one. That was cool.”

honestly this is almost the most damning to me. it's not in front of a crowd, he's not drunk, just an every day interaction of a white supremacist

"I will call you dude from now on, man" is a great reply

i mean "You will address me like a white man" sounds like something an evil southern sherriff or prison warden would say in a movie

xxp: well it matches up with what the Machine Head guy was saying. Philip "Phil-Dawg" Anselmo is publicly and privately racist as fuck.

Pretty solid apology, imo, from a consistently stupid person with substance abuse problems. Still not inviting him to Passover.

'i'm only a white supremacist when i'm real drunk, guys'

um that "hilarious" story is not really hilarious but rather terrifying and horrible

well okay "I will tell you if it's a wet one" is hilarious, I'll grant that

ah the Mel Gibson defense

xp

wordsmith.org has 1230 anagrams for 'trivett wingo' and none of them seem any odder than that dude's actual name

it sounds like the name of a paper towel manufacturer

When you think of Texas, what comes to mind? Big skies? Big trucks? Hot women with big… uh, well… big hair? Everything, as they say, is bigger in Texas… And that what ain’t bigger is more bizarre. After all, in a state that refers to itself as a republic… things can get pretty skewed.

Enter Honky. Honky proudly carries the torch held by the likes of Bloodrock, Pantera, ZZ Top and the red-headed stranger himself, Mr. Willie Nelson.

Honky’s newest release, Corduroy, is another feast of down and dirty rock, rollin’ across the finish line late this Spring on Philip Anselmo’s Housecore Records.

I am basically sitting here with my head in my hand, muttering "what a world" under my breath

also I'm trying to keep myself from rewriting the lyrics to "Enter Sandman" and failing

In what way did those ppl carry the same torch, pr person?

Iiiiiiiiiiii remeeeeeemmmbeeeerrrr
Weee were flying loooow
And hit a crazy sharp dressed man from hell

Honky has been around for roughly 20 years. Main guy is Jeff Pinkus from Butthole Surfers. But them releasing their new record on Housecore is a sad development.

I really want to put this on the out-of-context thread
