Anselmo Appreciation

Lightning struck down twice. Black mass, latin fire.

Bang your head.




 

"The more you play, the more you realize that hipsters are gonna hipster themselves off and... wear their Hot Topic gear to some asshole bar... We don't need costumes, we don't need ideology. All we need to do is jam and I love it. All you other fucking bands suck my giant dick"

Anselmo Appreciation

There are few things in this world that I enjoy more than hearing Mr. Philip H. Anselmo ramble sluggishly through anecdotes, jokes, and opinionated views on just about everything.

I'm being completely serious here. Anselmo is a man that has gone from international fame and traveling the world to some of the darkest depths that a human soul can descend into. His lengthy battle with alcohol and hard drugs has been well documented (often by the man himself) and would make for a far better novel than any fiction on the subject matter.

Yeah, I love pretty much every record he's ever been involved in (even that Southern Isolation EP), but more so than that I have a deep appreciation for his insight and unique sense of humor.

You can expect quite a few of these on the blog.

Let me start this segment off with what is probably one of my favorite videos of him remembering Dimebag Darrell.



"I don't give a flying fuck about sweeps. Thats boring bullshit for guitar nerds. I prefer a motherfucker with soul, heart, and goddamn muscle."
