You could only wish to be like him at the age of forty. He looks damn good, he sounds damn good, and intellectually he is great. He has always had a deep voice and he is a smoker. Get over it. What is so abnormal about his behavior in this interview? The fact he might be stoned? Who cares...everyone should smoke weed. He is sharp, astute, witty, humble, and intelligent. Like I said...you can only hope to be like this at forty.
he's a very introverted person...it seems it's taxing him, explaining things a lot of time too....gettin words out the way he wants to...pausing to figure out how to structure statements sometimes...that might make him seem more fried than he really is
the reason that makes him seem to be "baked" is (quote from Wikipedia)" Phil claimed that the muscle relaxant Soma (Carisoprodol) and Methadone still messed with him and made him sound "retarded."
You mean you were a fan. If you were a current fan you would know that Phil is clean except for weed and an occasional beer. So, he is slow to express his thoughts...his thoughts are intelligent. I suggest you do some research if you are such a fan and get your facts straight. You act as if everything out of his mouth is incoherent. That is just not so. Quit being so judgmental. Oh, and check out his articles on boxing insider. Then come back and tell me his brain is fried.
hes not a junkie, phill cleaned his shit up, not sober, just not a junkie like he was, i means hes deff fucked up wasted as all shit, but thats DOWN for ya, you dont go to a down show to see phill singer sober PHILL FUCKIN THE MAN
It must be hard for Phil; knowing there's not going to be another Pantera record or show. Drugs or no drugs, it's got to be tough to accept and try to move on at times
@TransparentVisions he's off it now though and sound the for you too mate. i nearly delved too far into that scene a few years back so i have an idea of what it can do and why but i think its best without now
Judging from that interview from over a year ago, i dont know whats going on with Phil, he doesnt seem right and his voice is so deep he could be mistaken for Barry White! lol I wish him all the best, no one can imagine the shit he's been through personally especially with the death of Dime.
If he's on methadone, he's abusing it. He's almost nodding off. I'm on suboxone right now, and doing great. I have energy and no cravings. Phil is on some opiate, and I just can't believe he's not using. When you're struggling to keep yourself from nodding because you have to talk to someone, or try to think, you're face expresses that struggle. I hope I'm wrong and Phil is doing well, but to me, it's plain as day. It would be cool if he could stick around and continue to make music.
Now. But this is almost a year and a half ago. He might've been ripped here, but there's some opiates involved, too. He's probably on a couple of vicodins and booze and weed. But, he's definately fucked up. I personally wouldn't like him any other way...it's fuckin' Phil.
naw hes not fucked up. Hes stoned as fuck how many times have u seen phil say smoke pot?? naw hes still got his mind. i think he kinda WANTS u to think that hes gotten fucked up over the years cuz of the drugs and Dime. either way phil is the man. If u were a part of pantera, you are the man lol.
Much respect for Phil. This guy is proving to be an incredibly influential artist too a complete generation of young musicians. We need guys like Phil in todays society. God bless the man.
of course its that aswell...but honestly...slating him as stoned in every single interview is just insulting...i hate kids that do that...they just arent fans and are just here to throw shit at him
To be fair it is drug abuse that has done that to him. You wont see any of that in interviews from the early 90's for example. Saying that, the dudes the best frontman ever and his speech isn't important to me, just his bands.
wen i see early vids,i can hear the same tone he has,but i think all the herion,methadone,and other painkillers were the 1s to make his voice like tht..i dont care though,he still sounds badass
dude i agree, he makes me laugh, 'cause you see this interview and he's obviously stoned to fuck, but if you watch the interview on Robbs Metal Works when he was in Superjoint, its so funny to see phil stoned and not stoned. in that interview on robbs metalworks he actually made sense! lol well mostly...
Broken man, been through unbelievable stuff, but still there giving all he's got and still kicks ass. Inspiration for the masses who struggle with whatever...Always prefer the underdog, fighting spirit.
Such a badass and an excellant musician. He needs to get off that shit, you can see him scratching his neck throughout this video. Hes high on heroin, hes just punchy...I pray for him.
@IntegraTron2010 many heroin people are intelligent and yes something ain t right thats heroin but like i said when use it for many years your voice stays like you are on heroin even you are clean from years
Phil has always had a low and broken voice.. you try screaming for 20+ years and see what it does to yours... also, he could be doped up on painkillers, because of his back problems, which was operated on.
this guy has been through alot. Could you imagine having your longtime band mate being shot on stage in the back of the head. This guy got caught up in heroin no doubht about it and the shit will literally fry your brain. Hes still a smart guy underneath, he was a smart guy to begin with and you can hear it in him. Hes either on methodone or soma in this video, hes definately high theres no question, I know because I went through this...
Look at him today, he's clean now in 2018. Heroin, methadone it's hard to get off. Phil is the man, as always, same as it ever was.
Amen
Bet he still smokes the good stuff/Weed tho
Great interview!
Muy buena entrevista!
Ron Simmons: DAMN!!!!
@gigarocker you feel happy because phil is high and not with heroin?. if the answer is yes i'm on your side... i cry of happiness that phil is fine.
he's drunk, not stoned
Love the guy. Period!
He is tough but sensitive
He sounds like he is living in slow-mo.
He is 😂💉💊
Phil is an amazing human being. Such an inspiration as a person and musician alike.
It sounds like he's constantly tryin to hold back tears.
Methadone n weed = good buzz
damn i wanna meet him so bad!!
haha he does have a godlike voice. lmfao, i love him he's fuckin cool
I like how every time Phil hits his chest with his hand, the microphone goes BOOP. He must have been freaking baked for this interview.

I like his hair here :)
he's a very introverted person...it seems it's taxing him, explaining things a lot of time too....gettin words out the way he wants to...pausing to figure out how to structure statements sometimes...that might make him seem more fried than he really is
Someone should have told him his wearing a mic... But yeah... all my respect to Phil!
the reason that makes him seem to be "baked" is (quote from Wikipedia)" Phil claimed that the muscle relaxant Soma (Carisoprodol) and Methadone still messed with him and made him sound "retarded."
I enjoyed listening to phil in this interview and I'll always love him, his bands and his controbutions to the world. Thanks for the post m'man

SOO HIGH!!
ouch, Phil, easy on the chest mic :D
Phil looks so exausted. He's definately the king of metal.
I don't know, it sounds like he's really found himself through his introspection, but he needs to get cleaned up
Superjoint was a great band
It must be hard for Phil; knowing there's not going to be another Pantera record or show. Drugs or no drugs, it's got to be tough to accept and try to move on at times
I miss dime
True, there were a couple parts I thought he was about to cry for some reason.
@TransparentVisions
he's off it now though and sound the for you too mate.
i nearly delved too far into that scene a few years back so i have an idea of what it can do and why but i think its best without now

I wish him all the best, no one can imagine the shit he's been through personally especially with the death of Dime.
That was before the show! Can you imagine what a mess he must've been after the show?
Lets just talk about the motherfucking interview and dont talk about his state of mind aaaaazshhh
I wanna know what he's on cause I'm on methadone and I don't sound that slow. It's like he's a totally different person back then.
UNSCARRED
C.F.H.
\,,/ \,,/
man if he said something about dime every interview it would be in vain and insincere.phil is so great.great.
hes becoming something like ozzy...

of course its that aswell...but honestly...slating him as stoned in every single interview is just insulting...i hate kids that do that...they just arent fans and are just here to throw shit at him
he quit drugs, he just stopped too late and he's gonna stay a little messed up for ever
best interview ever................
so what if he's a little stoned? i read that the only thing that he does is weed. sweet. that's the only thing i do.
I saw him live the first day with metallica, oct 21 i think. And he was amazing. He's definitely come a long way.
Yeah I'd say this is a perfect example of a sober person who's taken a looooooooooooad of drugs in the past.
i hate the way he talks, its like if hes stoned for life. besides his voice is so deep its funny hahahaha
the guy screams for a living. hes gonna have a slow deeeeeep voice, and obviously hes blaaaaaaaaaaaaazed.
I would love to talk to phill after he smokes a doobie we would talk about some deep shit
ozzy jr?
Phil is great, but his haircut is horrible 😂, shaved is better.
UNSCARRED
I cant believe you guys are ragging on him so harshly, shame on all of you.
he's on something, is it weed? But who cares, fuck it, he's a legend.
Who cares if he's probably brain-damaged. Be glad hes still alive.
Great frontman, but it's shame he messed himself up from drugs.
very funny the way he says the 'wool' comment. Get clean phil.
He was thirty nine almost forty. What is your point?
lol i love his voice
sucks hes on H tho
obviously
To be fair it is drug abuse that has done that to him. You wont see any of that in interviews from the early 90's for example. Saying that, the dudes the best frontman ever and his speech isn't important to me, just his bands.
i don't think so, LOG haha thats one shitty band.
Phil is fuuuuucked up man he could hardly talk
@Metal1998
This interview was done after Dimebag's death, this interview was in 2008 and Dimebag was murdered in 2004.
okey
Is Phil ever NOT high on something?
Fanboy..Can't stand other opinions
well.... still does grass right?
hands off the mic there phil : /
correction..kerrang accused him
man he destroyed that mic haha
hes stoned or somethin lol
is he high?
i think he's just stoned.
is he on heroin again?
what happened to him??
wen i see early vids,i can hear the same tone he has,but i think all the herion,methadone,and other painkillers were the 1s to make his voice like tht..i dont care though,he still sounds badass
dude i agree, he makes me laugh, 'cause you see this interview and he's obviously stoned to fuck, but if you watch the interview on Robbs Metal Works when he was in Superjoint, its so funny to see phil stoned and not stoned. in that interview on robbs metalworks he actually made sense! lol well mostly...

Such a badass and an excellant musician. He needs to get off that shit, you can see him scratching his neck throughout this video. Hes high on heroin, hes just punchy...I pray for him.
isnt Anselmo a Portuguese name? has Phil played in Lisbon yet?
pantera never played the uk for 95-2000 because Pantera rightly accused him as a Heroin addict. Shame but i saw them on far beyond driven.
@IntegraTron2010
many heroin people are intelligent and yes something ain t right thats heroin but like i said when use it for many years your voice stays like you are on heroin even you are clean from years

its fuckin awesome to see some sign of life back!
yeah hes stoned but hey....at least hes not on the gear again!
good on ya phil! \m/ (*.*)
I thought Phil said he's sober lol. Just fuckin', for his image as a stereotypicaly metal meathead he's actually a really smart guy.
So if Phil is sooo fk-ed up here, like everyone says, then how does he project so much energy and talk relatively fast on stage?
I see.
lol!!!
@metal4cavdaddy: I agree, he's probably stone & that's I sound too, after taking my "glaucoma" medicine...
yeah, i felt the same watching this video...
that's some fucked up wierd shit right over there...
XD
@TransparentVisions
Phil hasn't touched heroin in 6-7 years, so no, he's not on heroin.
he s absolutely sober, its due to years of taking pain killers and other substance abuse
omg i speak less creepy when i'm completely smashed! (drunk)
Wtf happened to him?
hahahaha i love him he is fucking smoked hahahaha joder ke tio jajajaja
i fukkin love this guy!! so funny, livin legend LONG LIVE ANSELMO!!!!
and this interview was after he played, so im sure his voice was worn out
@clintdack yes phil's my hero. high and buzzed? for sure by experience.
@m1ndtr1p true... this interview i think it was before dimebags death
