Phil is a true man. He word is his bond. I met him back as a kid in the early 90's. I was wearing the cowboy from hell/vulgar display of power shirt at a gas station in Florida. while paying for my drink I glanced back and it was phil and his I assume entourage. He saw the shirt and pulled me aside and singned it. I being so young and never met anyone famous much less one of my idols... I was going nuts. Phil asked for my address. he told me a signed hat and shirt would be on the way as we parted ways. About a month or two passed and I thought it would never happen. Sure enough it did. I got a package with a hat, cowboys from hell CD and a shirt... All signed. I still have everything to this day. Phil is a man of his word.
@@loganobrien6518 Ill dig it all up. its at my dads house in storage. ive been wanting to get it out and display it in my house. as soon as I do it ill let you know.
+Cetoke unfortunately not, but i will never find offence in that. what has happened on the other hand is not really comparreble with a drunk guy in a bar, singing of key. This man used some symbles of racism toward lots of people, who looked up to him. His apology is nothing less then necessary. If he wants it or not, he sets a standard. And i don't think we, as a metal community, want to be associated with such a standard.
i accept his apology and i never felt he was rascist tbh i meet alot if people that stand for black power black lives matters now he said white power like honeatly so what.... they say its rascist cause he's a white man let it be a black man on black power its unity??? like really i faced real rascism this man is far from it cause a real rascist would rather die than public apologize so all is forgiven
@@cheetoortiz2361bs and the fact that you'd claim someone was a black supremacist for calling him a racist shows how racist you are, you pwople are worms
Hey to all you Phil bashers. The guy publicly apologized, he knows he was wrong, so if you can't forgive him after that, your worse then any racist. Making mistakes and realizing it is what makes us human. Leave him alone.
"Never underestimate the kid...and I am the Kid" - Phil Anselmo I absolutely love phil. His fans adore him amd the people who truly know him love him. One of the greatest vocalist ever. He's done so much for heavy metal and fir the underground scene.
All those people trying to excuse this away with the "blacks guys can say black power" line are missing the point. Six million people were murdered under that salute. It's fucking unacceptable. Phil used to be my hero as a kid. What a difference twenty years makes...
Ive been a fan of Phil since i was about 6 years old. He was and is STILL one of the very reasons i do vocals. people fuck up and say stupid shit. Now i dont really find it hateful when i hear a white man or woman say they have white pride because they should be proud of there white heritage. People if all colors should have pride of there heritage and culture. the only thing that really bugged me was the nazi salute. but like i said,people sometimes say and do stupid shit. as a biracial man who is seen more as a black man in the white community i live in. i accept his apology. Next time just drop the thumb,middle and ring finger when you salute the metal crowd lol.
Racism is a bogus political term invented by the Communist Trotsky. I hate Communists. Personally I'd like all Communists to be thrown from a flying helicopter, along with La Raza and all the black supremacists.
poor phil. these comments are fucking terrible. i don't know about you guys, but i have done HORRIBLE things drunk and in the heat of the moment. I am glad that he apologized because what he said and did was offensive. I am white too and no one should be proud of something that they didn't choose or work for. To be proud of your skin color is idiotic. Not only that but the history of white pride is nothing to be ignorant to. Now, don't get me wrong, being proud of your culture or religion etc etc is different. There is a reason he knows it's wrong and he is apologizing for his actions. I have been a pantera fan for such a long time and watching that video of him saluting and saying white power made me so fucking sad. This apology doesn't really mean shit, but it's better than nothing. If i didn't hear him say this, I would of thrown pantera cds out the fucking window. FUCK RACISM. We are all born into this world with no choice of what we will look like. I think of it as the lottery of birth. Whether you are black/white rich/poor. No one in this world gets to choose. We just have to deal with what we were given. If you are given the upper hand, and you are a decent person, you will use your platform to help those around you who were not so lucky. Racism is alive and well in this country. FUCK IGNORANT MOTHERFUCKERS of all color, creed and class. Humans will never be perfect, but if you aren't trying to help this planet get any better than go fuck yourself. by the look of these comments, we are all fucked. I have no hope. but I still try.
Pe ter if that's the case, then fuck him. It sucks because I love panter but definitely do not support nazis or racism. Why won't he just admit he is a racist?
There are a lot of videos on youtube from shows or interviews with him. If this happend once it's still not ok but everyone make mistakes. But he said this "white power" stuff over the last years again and again.
Memotek82 yeah......... you are most definitely fucking racist. jesus christ why the fuck do you think it's cool to treat people like that? disgusting.
Long live Phil Anselmo. Don't be down. Everybody has said some shit they wish they hadn't. Stay strong brother and may Pantera's glory forever live on.
what he said was wrong. Glad he apologized. Now we can move on. Phil gets emotional sometimes and can get heated and he makes mistakes. We all do and we don't need to crucify him for it. I think he's remorseful and we should now move on.
Phillip H Anselmo if there is any way you get to this video and read my comment just know I have always been and WILL always be a huge fan. despite of any drunken moments of aggression towards any particular category. your lyrics throughout all of Pantera's history have inspired me throughout my teen age years. fuck what everybody else thinks or feels. if they don't like it they can walk the fuck on home!. cuz yesterday don't mean Jack shit! \m/ stay true brother \m/
We know you love us Phil. We also know that in those scenarios, whether just joking around or whatever, those sort of things come out of you. Racism from any race in never a good thing, ever. None of us are perfect, but by now you should know that you STILL mean so much to your ALL your fans and that you are a STILL a public figure in this huge metal community. I (a minority fed up with senseless attacks due to nothing else but my nationality) personally accept the apology since it's genuine. Much respect. Also, I'm not asking for you to change EVEN buddy. You're Phil Anselmo \m/ \m/ -Forever a fan, Ulysses Cavazos
I can't deny another chance to a man who asks for it with heart. Still it's unforgettable the fact that Phil hasn't grown up yet, and therefore he hasn't understood that he gotta learn to control his emotions (which clearly have only led him into trouble), and to think before opening his mouth. Is truly -any race- supremacy what mankind needs? Time to disconect your basic-hearted emotions and to connect the brain, pal. Keep metal, bro, and I hope you understand one day we're all the same.
+LTD of course I have! I'm no perfect man, but I hardly ever let my basic emotions control my thoughts and my opinion about a country, like being racist or supremacist. Besides, I'm not a public person, unlike Mr. Anselmo.
he is correct, we should take offence, he didnt try to cover his ass by saying ''oh we were drunk, it was a joke so you shouldnt take it so serious'' but like scott ian said he should donate to the foundation that works against racism and such, i think then he would be very forgiven atleast
I'm a white boy from Grand Prairie that grew up on Pantera. No need to apologize for taking pride in your people. I've never heard La Raza or the New Black Panther Party apologize for their overtly supremacist and anti-white language. And I love Pantera from little Texas.
His life is always one giant apology, lol. Just sing Phil, don't talk. And if you have to talk, count to 10 and say 'be professional' to yourself after every second.
What he did was wrong.. There is no defending those actions.. But he's apologized and admitted his wrong doing.. Hopefully hes learned his lesson and we can all move on..
I don't care about what you believe. We're supposed to be free. All i care you're a metal fucking icon and your music will always blow my fucking speakers.
I think that it definitely isnt right to praise him for it because it was DEF inappropriate but i also dont think we as fans should just disown him or turn against him because everybody says things we regret and make mistakes. So/but I think we can just all hope and accept that moving forward (and Even eversince) that incident that Phil Anselmo can and will just be a little bit moore careful with what he says and how he says it because he seems to be nice to everyone. I even saw a recent photo of him and ice cube backstage lol.
I'm not white and I'm not pissed....I think people are to sensitive nowadays...I used to get called a wagon burner all the time and it never bothered me because I just feel bad for people that make it a point to be bothered by the colour of someone's skin...racist or not Philip H Anselmo writes and performs wicked music...yeah he fucked up and this isn't his first apology online but I refuse to let how I feel about his views get in the way of how much I love pantera or down for that matter!
This whole thing is ridiculous. Anyone who's been paying attention for all these years knows that Phil Anselmo is no white supremacist. I've seen Phil Anselmo play with Hanukkah dreidels. Phil Anselmo has stated his favorite Jewish man is Rod Serling the creator of the Twilight Zone television series of which Phil Anselmo is a huge fan. If any conclusion can be made from Phil Anselmo's behavior over the years he appears to be pro Jewish. This whole thing is sad, there is so much blatantly acceptable anti-Semitism in France and in the rest of Europe, and somehow people think Phil Anselmo is the problem. It would be so nice if people would get this upset when terrorists attack Israel. This is a joke, a bad joke. I am Phil Anselmo fan, and I plan to be one for the rest of my days.
There's a certain amount is too far but there's nothing wrong with being proud to be white or any race. Be proud of yourself, your culture and heritage. I'm proud to be Irish and proud to be white.
Phil. Yeah needless to say the whole thing surprised me and sucks, but Iv'e stood up for you and in the other youtube videos and hope what you say is true.I hate to see this. It's sad man! I'm more pissed off about the stupid hype this has caused and to read the disgusting comments people are posting each other, because as usual people love the opportunity to spew out s**t. As for me Rock on man!
This whole issue of white power versus black power would stop being a problem if people didn't refer to skin color, but rather, the country their ancestors came from. If you're white, say something like "British power" or "Polish power" or whatever. Similarly, if you're black, say something like "Sudanese power" or "Ethiopian power". Are you brown or yellow? Say something like "Puerto Rican power" or "Japanese power" or whatever. The point is, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and if whites are forbidden to say "white power", then blacks, Latinos, native Indians, Orientals, etc., should not mention their skin color either as a form of self-empowerment. There should be no grey area in this matter. We as a society should be either all in or all out, no exceptions.
I'll say one more thing about this. Just put yourselves in his shoes for a minute. If you were being part of an event or concert that was paying tribute to a band member who was once in your life for a pretty long time and now all of a sudden you're singing old songs you wrote together back in the day but without your band member/best friend? Wouldn't that make you wanna drink?? I know I'd want to. Yes it's not right to scream out white power BUT its not like he's ever randomly laid hands on a black person before and smacked them around or anything so in the end it's just words. If actual footage surfaces of him doing so then yeah I would definitely feel ashamed and embarrassed to continue to wear a Pantera shirt or play another song by them, sure...until then I will remain a fan and accept the fact that alcohol is the culprit here.
Who i am too blame somebody for his mistakes and not take an excuse when prompted for it. I accept your apology. The whole incident had a good side even, cause reading the comments on youtube to all those vids made about the incident showed me that ignorance and racism is far more common than i would have imagined in my worst nightmares. Hopefully our great and beloved metalcommunity will evolve over that.
I'm a black fan of pantera. It bothers me the fact I support them and buy their music and he thought it was acceptable to say. It's good he has apologised, but why be in a band and only respect one specific group of your fans? Idk it baffles me because if Justin Bieber said it everyone would go ape shit. But hey because he's a macho metal head its okay lol nahhh long live pantera even though phil can be a fool at times I will never stop loving them and their music.
Shouldnt be ashamed of being proud to be white. While its still a sensitive subject and understandable some people dont want to hear the words white power, he should be entitled like any black artist to say black power, and black pride.
Non racist white people should get a new white pride slogan. Too much meaning behind that one, I can understand both sides to it. Just find a new way of expressing it without being racist
if he was charged with insighting race hate, i think most courts would throw it out on the grounds that the majority of people would not take him seriously. The same goes for lyrics in metal songs about murder violence etc. If Phil was a politician or a known KKK member it would be different. If he does it again, then we cant listen to anymore apologies and maybe do take him seriously about racism.
Seemed genuine. Other than that, he may have had to apologize because of his record contract requirements or because he didn't want to loose a shit ton of fans? I think it was genuine. Chalk it up to a "Had to apologize" moment. We all go through it... "ruck it up..."
I forgive you Phil, although I wasn't offended by that.. I am not white.. I know you didn't mean what you said. I've taken as a joke and just a spur of the moment when you had a kick ass show.. Your a awesome Frontman Phil!! You got balls! Pantera & Down and many other bands you did fucking awesome!! I jam to it when I am playing online.. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
I don't know, and, as a matter of fact, I don't even care if this is bullshit or not, but simply the intent of appologizing in front of everybody for the "hail!" takes courage and responsability, 2 things that I'm not quite sure some of those bashing on Phil do have. We all get drunk and do stupid, racist shit, but if somebody gets offended and doesn't accept an appology, no matter who from, then you're no different from the one that offended you VERBALLY. So cut the guy some slack and be fucking tollerant.
no need for any pride anymore were all human beings, he deserves to be punished for saying it, but no need to hate him forever as along as he is actually remorseful and actually does regret saying it.
+LTD white power is neo Nazi thing and it means more than liking your skin colour, when black people got civil rights then fine they had a lot to celebrate but that's history they don't need to mention it cause most white people respect other races and black people now in 21st century haven't had any issues there just born that colour, but if white man hurts a black man sort him and if a black man hurts a white man sort him the same way, where all equal now.
+Jon Bowen phil Anselmo is and was a role model with many different fans from all types of backgrounds, a man of his age should know better than that, I don't know what his belief's are he should of kept it too himself lay off the drink and whatever and keep political bullshit out of the music
You didn't deserve any of the bullshit you got. You're A good man Phil. Don't back pettle. You were right. In your heart you knew and know you are right
For what it's worth, during his live cover of "Day of suffering" with Morbid Angel, Phil, a longtime-fan, bows in respect and awe at Sandoval's drumming. Sandoval is latino, of mixed european(spanish) and native south american descent. I'm not defending Phil, stupid is as stupid does and all that, but I hardly think he believes in this shit.
We all make mistakes, and we all make bad choices. If anyone is bashing on him even after the apology well then they have standards set way too high for behavior. And they need to realize that everyone including them makes mistakes. People are acting like he killed someone and brought the body on stage.
Dumbass thing to say and do, but he admits it. I've followed Phil and Pantera, Down, and Superjoint for several years. I'm 30, so plenty have been fans longer than I have, but I went to Dime's memorial service in Arlington, Texas after he was killed back in 2004. All I can say is, I don't think any of those guys are racist. They were always so inclusive to anyone who just wanted to listen to some badass metal and have a good time with friends. It didn't matter what you looked like or where you came from, the only way your ass was getting kicked out was if you got in the way of others enjoying themselves. Pantera fostered this attitude among the fans: All are welcome. Dime really emanated that attitude, but all the band members were in agreement, Phil included. As a fan, if a kid comes to a metal show for the first time, I don't care if he or she is black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever. If he/she is there to have fun and enjoy the show, they're welcome. I don't want anyone feeling alienated by comments like that, and I believe Phil when he says he doesn't either. Just maybe don't drink so much at shows, Phil...
To be honest I don't give a flying fuck about what he says or does. Especially when you're fucked up drunk or high.All I care is that I grew up listening to his music and it's a huge part of my life that I'm thankful for. I respect you Phil for being yourself through all these years. Stay metal!✌🏻️
Surprised at all the mean comments, give the man a break. He was totally genuine and you can tell he didn't mean to hurt anybody,...it doesn't matter what race or whatever were all we all love music and metal and Pantera's always been legendary in my opinion. He's a good guy
Phil is a true man. He word is his bond. I met him back as a kid in the early 90's. I was wearing the cowboy from hell/vulgar display of power shirt at a gas station in Florida. while paying for my drink I glanced back and it was phil and his I assume entourage. He saw the shirt and pulled me aside and singned it. I being so young and never met anyone famous much less one of my idols... I was going nuts. Phil asked for my address. he told me a signed hat and shirt would be on the way as we parted ways. About a month or two passed and I thought it would never happen. Sure enough it did. I got a package with a hat, cowboys from hell CD and a shirt... All signed. I still have everything to this day. Phil is a man of his word.

+Cetoke It is on a simular level indeed, but have in mind that those drunk guys are not on a stage with a lot of people watching them

+Superbeasto gain strength for faith and love. You will never be a looser.
I could never hold anything against Phil. Phil in my opinion is the toughest SOB in metal ever!!!!!!
I hear the sincerity in your apology and I'm gutted that you aren't able to perform out here in NZ. Arohanui.
"You cry to weak friends that sympathize,can you hear the violins playing your song?"

A drunk mind speaks a sober heart.
How many apology videos has he done now?
One
This "sorry for what i said" shit is making me fucking hostile....
Don’t apologize.
He was right tho no need to apologize

Why did you apologies man?you did nothing wrong.

So/but I think we can just all hope and accept that moving forward (and Even eversince) that incident that Phil Anselmo can and will just be a little bit moore careful with what he says and how he says it because he seems to be nice to everyone. I even saw a recent photo of him and ice cube backstage lol.
I'm not white and I'm not pissed....I think people are to sensitive nowadays...I used to get called a wagon burner all the time and it never bothered me because I just feel bad for people that make it a point to be bothered by the colour of someone's skin...racist or not Philip H Anselmo writes and performs wicked music...yeah he fucked up and this isn't his first apology online but I refuse to let how I feel about his views get in the way of how much I love pantera or down for that matter!
This whole thing is ridiculous. Anyone who's been paying attention for all these years knows that Phil Anselmo is no white supremacist. I've seen Phil Anselmo play with Hanukkah dreidels. Phil Anselmo has stated his favorite Jewish man is Rod Serling the creator of the Twilight Zone television series of which Phil Anselmo is a huge fan.
If any conclusion can be made from Phil Anselmo's behavior over the years he appears to be pro Jewish. This whole thing is sad, there is so much blatantly acceptable anti-Semitism in France and in the rest of Europe, and somehow people think Phil Anselmo is the problem. It would be so nice if people would get this upset when terrorists attack Israel. This is a joke, a bad joke. I am Phil Anselmo fan, and I plan to be one for the rest of my days.
There's a certain amount is too far but there's nothing wrong with being proud to be white or any race. Be proud of yourself, your culture and heritage. I'm proud to be Irish and proud to be white.
Hail...no seriously the world needs more honesty not woke morons...👍
should not of appologized Phil. never heard any black person for saying black power
Phil. Yeah needless to say the whole thing surprised me and sucks, but Iv'e stood up for you and in the other youtube videos and hope what you say is true.I hate to see this. It's sad man! I'm more pissed off about the stupid hype this has caused and to read the disgusting comments people are posting each other, because as usual people love the opportunity to spew out s**t. As for me Rock on man!
I do hope there was shrimp backstage to deal with those dangerously high white wine levels
This whole issue of white power versus black power would stop being a problem if people didn't refer to skin color, but rather, the country their ancestors came from. If you're white, say something like "British power" or "Polish power" or whatever. Similarly, if you're black, say something like "Sudanese power" or "Ethiopian power". Are you brown or yellow? Say something like "Puerto Rican power" or "Japanese power" or whatever. The point is, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and if whites are forbidden to say "white power", then blacks, Latinos, native Indians, Orientals, etc., should not mention their skin color either as a form of self-empowerment. There should be no grey area in this matter. We as a society should be either all in or all out, no exceptions.
I'll say one more thing about this. Just put yourselves in his shoes for a minute. If you were being part of an event or concert that was paying tribute to a band member who was once in your life for a pretty long time and now all of a sudden you're singing old songs you wrote together back in the day but without your band member/best friend? Wouldn't that make you wanna drink?? I know I'd want to. Yes it's not right to scream out white power BUT its not like he's ever randomly laid hands on a black person before and smacked them around or anything so in the end it's just words. If actual footage surfaces of him doing so then yeah I would definitely feel ashamed and embarrassed to continue to wear a Pantera shirt or play another song by them, sure...until then I will remain a fan and accept the fact that alcohol is the culprit here.
Who i am too blame somebody for his mistakes and not take an excuse when prompted for it.
I accept your apology.
The whole incident had a good side even, cause reading the comments on youtube to all those vids made about the incident showed me that ignorance and racism is far more common than i would have imagined in my worst nightmares.
Hopefully our great and beloved metalcommunity will evolve over that.
do not apologise, should have said more about white genocide and anti white racism. do not apologise for being right.
Why would he apologize? I didn't see anything wrong, he's white & proud
Scott Rosenfeld needs to grow a pair a balls and build a refugee center for Palestinians.
I'm a black fan of pantera. It bothers me the fact I support them and buy their music and he thought it was acceptable to say. It's good he has apologised, but why be in a band and only respect one specific group of your fans? Idk it baffles me because if Justin Bieber said it everyone would go ape shit. But hey because he's a macho metal head its okay lol nahhh long live pantera even though phil can be a fool at times I will never stop loving them and their music.
guys it was a joke, he just meant white powder. *snif
Shouldnt be ashamed of being proud to be white. While its still a sensitive subject and understandable some people dont want to hear the words white power, he should be entitled like any black artist to say black power, and black pride.
Non racist white people should get a new white pride slogan. Too much meaning behind that one, I can understand both sides to it. Just find a new way of expressing it without being racist
We love you Phil I thank you for everything you taught me it's okay everybody already accept your apology at least you didn't know
They don't believe your apology anyway Phil. Don't back away from what you said- I'm behind you 100% brother.
Dude, it doesn't make you part of a group to have a hateful belief system.
Now don't you just love Rage Against The Machine :D
if he was charged with insighting race hate, i think most courts would throw it out on the grounds that the majority of people would not take him seriously. The same goes for lyrics in metal songs about murder violence etc.
If Phil was a politician or a known KKK member it would be different.
If he does it again, then we cant listen to anymore apologies and maybe do take him seriously about racism.
Seemed genuine. Other than that, he may have had to apologize because of his record contract requirements or because he didn't want to loose a shit ton of fans? I think it was genuine. Chalk it up to a "Had to apologize" moment. We all go through it... "ruck it up..."
don't apologize phil...
I forgive you Phil, although I wasn't offended by that.. I am not white.. I know you didn't mean what you said. I've taken as a joke and just a spur of the moment when you had a kick ass show.. Your a awesome Frontman Phil!! You got balls! Pantera & Down and many other bands you did fucking awesome!! I jam to it when I am playing online.. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
I don't know, and, as a matter of fact, I don't even care if this is bullshit or not, but simply the intent of appologizing in front of everybody for the "hail!" takes courage and responsability, 2 things that I'm not quite sure some of those bashing on Phil do have. We all get drunk and do stupid, racist shit, but if somebody gets offended and doesn't accept an appology, no matter who from, then you're no different from the one that offended you VERBALLY. So cut the guy some slack and be fucking tollerant.
no need for any pride anymore were all human beings, he deserves to be punished for saying it, but no need to hate him forever as along as he is actually remorseful and actually does regret saying it.
+Jon Bowen It's okay for non-whites to shout out their pride though?
+LTD white power is neo Nazi thing and it means more than liking your skin colour, when black people got civil rights then fine they had a lot to celebrate but that's history they don't need to mention it cause most white people respect other races and black people now in 21st century haven't had any issues there just born that colour, but if white man hurts a black man sort him and if a black man hurts a white man sort him the same way, where all equal now.
+Jon Bowen phil Anselmo is and was a role model with many different fans from all types of backgrounds, a man of his age should know better than that, I don't know what his belief's are he should of kept it too himself lay off the drink and whatever and keep political bullshit out of the music
You didn't deserve any of the bullshit you got. You're A good man Phil. Don't back pettle. You were right. In your heart you knew and know you are right
Dude, my speakers sound is at 100% and the UA-cam sound is up to the maximum volume and I still can't hear *SHIT*.
I got a great idea for a show. The Roast Of Phil Anselmo.
Yeah!
You are literally the only one who verbally agrees with your own comment for the 3rd year.
@@goldeneggthatneverhatched4252 savage
For what it's worth, during his live cover of "Day of suffering" with Morbid Angel, Phil, a longtime-fan, bows in respect and awe at Sandoval's drumming. Sandoval is latino, of mixed european(spanish) and native south american descent. I'm not defending Phil, stupid is as stupid does and all that, but I hardly think he believes in this shit.
We all make mistakes, and we all make bad choices. If anyone is bashing on him even after the apology well then they have standards set way too high for behavior. And they need to realize that everyone including them makes mistakes. People are acting like he killed someone and brought the body on stage.
I would have never apologized, but you did , kudos 👏
You wouldn’t of apologized for screaming white power and doing a n@zi salute?
@@Jackson-jd1umhe's a troll and an asshole. Don't mind trash like him.
Well at least he apologized. That counts for something. He has fans that aren’t white and love his music
Dumbass thing to say and do, but he admits it. I've followed Phil and Pantera, Down, and Superjoint for several years. I'm 30, so plenty have been fans longer than I have, but I went to Dime's memorial service in Arlington, Texas after he was killed back in 2004. All I can say is, I don't think any of those guys are racist. They were always so inclusive to anyone who just wanted to listen to some badass metal and have a good time with friends. It didn't matter what you looked like or where you came from, the only way your ass was getting kicked out was if you got in the way of others enjoying themselves. Pantera fostered this attitude among the fans: All are welcome. Dime really emanated that attitude, but all the band members were in agreement, Phil included. As a fan, if a kid comes to a metal show for the first time, I don't care if he or she is black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever. If he/she is there to have fun and enjoy the show, they're welcome. I don't want anyone feeling alienated by comments like that, and I believe Phil when he says he doesn't either. Just maybe don't drink so much at shows, Phil...
No reason for apology.
To be honest I don't give a flying fuck about what he says or does. Especially when you're fucked up drunk or high.All I care is that I grew up listening to his music and it's a huge part of my life that I'm thankful for. I respect you Phil for being yourself through all these years. Stay metal!✌🏻️
Don't know what you said. Don't care. Freedom of speech. Love people who love forget people who don't.
Surprised at all the mean comments, give the man a break. He was totally genuine and you can tell he didn't mean to hurt anybody,...it doesn't matter what race or whatever were all we all love music and metal and Pantera's always been legendary in my opinion. He's a good guy
his apology is genuine. Phil was drunk and made a mistake. We all have fucked it all up while being drunk and not just once. Cheers to the guy!!
He shouldn't have apologized.
