PHILIP ANSELMO: If You Fuck With The U.S., You're Going To Have To Pay - Phil On Iraq,Bin Laden,9/11 etc

Before editing:
I mean fucking, yeah, fucking we are a country, we are fucking people who are allowed a fucking opinion. 9/11 fucking was a horrific thing, fucking definitely the lowest point in fucking American history, as far as us fucking taking one on the chops. Fucking I cannot help but be fucking sympathetic to families who fucking lost fucking people in that fucking tragedy, fucking on the planes and fucking in the buildings.

"I mean, sure, he wore a shirt to an eMpTyVee interview which sported the insignia of a foreign neo-nazi group. He didn't seem to mind letting rumors float around for a while to bring the band notice.

I honestly believe he's not a skinhead, but he excels at being a fake."

This is my favorite part: "Fuck them! I mean, if you know the facts about the al Qaeda, they come across like a bunch of paranoid homosexual fucking Arabs, whatever the hell they are."

Almost Onion-worthy, that quote.

That said, I'm really sensitive to the ILX witch-hunting when it comes to 'racism' around here. No one bats an eye when Bobby Gillespie talks all his retarded communist shit. Shit, even famous hooker-torturer Rick James gets a lot of unconditional love around here. Basically, how does Phil Anselmo being racist affect any of you at all? Who cares? I think Superjoint Ritual are a pretty great band, fwiw, and so is Down, and so was Pantera, in their prime. I doubt many of you would have agreed much with Miles Davis's politics, either. And what about all the Krishna-conscious jazz cats, and the Farrakhaun-quoting Muslim rappers we all love and adore?

Let's not be so quick to tar and feather, boys and girls. Righteousness is in the eye of the beholder.

(and yeah, he's a dumbass. It's part of his charm.)

I was just saying that Communism can be advocated much more comfortably by humanists than Fascism, since the former doesn't involve hatred of necessity.

And the answer IS obvious, I agree.

ahhhhhahahaha. the sad thing is it's totally true.

Hahahahahahaha

A friend of mine had some Israeli co-workers who when asked about the goings-on in the Middle East said the exact same thing about "turning it into a parking lot."

I've always thought that witch-hunting is a term best used when talking about ppl accusing and condemning others for stuff that they haven't actually done/views they don't actually have, as opposed to accusing and condemning ppl based on actions that they have taken and views that they have endorsed.

But which one resonates with more evil in our current political climate? Which ideology is more dangerous right now? Communism or plain old American bigotry?

Roger, are you a time traveller?

A Lethal Dose Of American Hatred is a very good album. So's Ted Nugent's Craveman. I listen to both all the time. And when I saw Nugent at Irving Plaza in January 2001, I wished he'd shut the fuck up between songs, too.

"To every person who is anti-war, I have to point out the importance of us definitely showing a very, very strong front, not looking vulnerable,"

By saying this, Phil accidentally makes a case against his own side of the coin. He backhandedly implies here that the war is for reasons of maintaining an image and Rambo-esque chest beating to keep the rest of the world in its place in case they decide to try anything, rather than for actual reasons of necessity :)

It's worrying that theres someone so stupid.
Even more worrying is that theres people in the cabinet that do think exactly those things!

GIVE THAT MONKEY MORE SMACK!!!!!

I found my new slogan.

Here's the audio -- do not adjust your bitrate:

Ha ha, this vocal just started playing in my browser over the instrumental title track to the new Lamb of God...which already has a brief Iraq war spoken vocal. Awesome mashup.

And as far as your! terrorists and that [goes]. Only that, and pretty much that only, is going to get even deeper and deeper into the Middle East, and WE - WILL
- KICK - YOUR - ASS. Deep into the Middle East.

excuse me, Phil? somebody please slap some sense into this mush-mouth shithead. or at least give him a gig at a stand-up (or recline in his case) comedy club.

If Phil ODs and dies anytime soon I won't shed any tears. He finished making whatever interesting music he was going to make over a decade ago.

"Iraq and Afghanistan are only the first moves of the U.S. offensive in the "big Middle East" from Morocco to China, while Russia and its rusting military are left to sulk on the sidelines."
— Pavel Felgenhauer, an independent Moscow-based defense analyst

Ha ha. Anyway, I'd like to add that Anselmo did already OD and die circa 1995, when Pantera made the mistake of letting him hire EYEHATEGOD as opening act. He was revived, EHG were immediately kicked off the tour, and the Cobain/Morrison/Shakur matyrdom trinity was preserved.

obviously

BRILLIANT!

This might give the Paul Stanley stage banter mix a run for its money

huh i never noticed those low-register vocal overdubs on the run up to the chorus

yeah thats the best part, along with the final "walk on home boy"

I like Pantera but Anselmo might be one of the more fascist, douchiest musicians in rock. I'm not sure the rest of the band shared his views, I remember reading somewhere that they felt embarrassed by his attitudes.

I think really where the use of the rebel flag or Confederate flag with us really came from was from our love of bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and whatnot — shit like that, you know. There was never a time when it was okay to promote hate without a little bit of the tongue-in-cheek. It was never this blatant thing, unless I was completely out of my mind, which I was at points in time. I’ll own that for damn sure, but that was a long ass-time ago.

I’m coming up on 47 years old, and I think that if it’s upsetting enough to people in general — this is tough to say without taking any side — I can see where if people see it as a symbol of hate these days. I wouldn’t want anything to fucking do with it. I wouldn’t want much to fucking do with it at all. You see a Confederate flag out there that says “Heritage, not hate.” I’m not so sure I’m buying into that, you know?…

In hindsight, you know what, I would have not used it.
