Hearing Anselmo rhapsodize about one Smiths song after another is a bit surreal.
Phil Anselmo gives "white power" speeches at his concerts.
Love it. Phil like Moz seems to always be wresling with feelings. Too bad Moz doesn't think kindly of heavy metal; which is a shame because metal definitely has artistic merit sonically and lyrically. Althoug i do recall reading here that Moz liked Disturbed and went to see Soundgarden. Is that right?
Indeed he does. Not a nice person.

well If memory serves me Moz mentioned in one of the interviews during the last tour that the last good new song he heard was from system of a down. I met Phil, maybe 9 years ago and from my experience he doesn't hate Brown people. He hung out with a whole bunch of us after a show and was pretty kind.Love it.

anyone who thinks Phil is a racist is a moron. He had his issues with drugs in the past and said stupid shit onstage, he's from new Orleans and went through the whole rebel flag southern pride phase which people misinterpret as racist. He has stated numerous times how his favorite sport is boxing and how his favorite athletes are black. He recently interviewed 50 Cent for a music magazine. His band Down invited all their friends onstage at their show last summer in New Orleans which included several black people. 4 minutes into this video he addresses the racist "rumors" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmnHiQH91nI

What exactly do you find so objectionable in that video?
It would be nice for once if you actually contributed something worthwhile, instead of posting a video like that and expecting it to speak for itself.
If what Phil Anselmo said in that video is so horrifyingly unpleasant/racist, etc, how about you list a few reasons why so we'll know where you're coming from?
Posting videos/pictures/blanket statements might wash over on SLATUKIP where you're preaching to the choir, and are never challenged, but when you do it outside of your bubble you should expect people to want you to divulge slightly more than you're usually willing to.
Phil is just simply implying that at the end of the day saying " I'm proud to be White" comes across as being racist!
