- PHILIP ANSELMO Slams DAMAGEPLAN: 'They're Not Doing Anything Different'
Ex-PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo has slammed his former bandmates
for "not doing anything different" with their new band DAMAGEPLAN
and has one again reiterated the fact that he has no desire of ever
returning to his previous group. Speaking to AbsolutMetal about
his current band SUPERJOINT RITUAL, Anselmo said, "I want SUPERJOINT
RITUAL to be everyfuckin'thing that people maybe missed in PANTERA.
Because I knew that, you know, PANTERA, not to talk about 'um, because
I'm not going to, but if itdefinitely a genre of music that changed
my life forever. This is where I've wanted to be for so long, musically,
you know, 'cause we've been writing SUPERJOINT shit for oh god,
since '93, and you know, long time coming, man. I mean to fuckin'
be with them, with this fuckin' band for damn sure."
When asked if
the previously announced DOWN acoustic album and DVD will ever come
out, Anselmo said, "As long as we're entrapped with Elektra Records,
which we seem to be, I'm not doing another fucking thing for Elektra
Records unless they...they'd have to promise me...a lot of money,
real fuckin' quick, and a lot of promotion. And their gonna have to
do better than promises, I want it fuckin' so to the fuckin' T, contracted
to where they don't have the upper hand on the band. As they have
in the past...I I ain't doing nothing for Elektra Records 'cause they
ain't done nothin' for me but fuckin' waste my time. Aside from the
other band which I ain't ever doin' nothin' with again...and I don't
want to talk about it.

- Ex-PANTERA Drummer: 'PHILIP ANSELMO Was Afraid Of Success'
Ex-PANTERA
drummer Vinnie Paul recently spoke to Revolver magazine about
the circumstances that led to the group's demise two years after
the release of their critically acclaimed "Reinventing The Steel"
CD.
"With the
last couple of PANTERA records, we kept getting more and more
narrow-minded because of Phil," Vinnie said. "He didn't want to
experiment or take any chances, and it was like being in a tube
that was getting to be so small you couldn't even breathe. Personally,
I think the dude was afraid of"I did everything I could to get
the guy squared away so he could have a good time. We had already
agreed to take six months to a year off anyway, because we had
been doing this for 12 goddamn years and we needed a break. But
next thing I know, he's off doing DOWN with [PANTERA bassist]
Rex [Brown] and talking shit about us.
"Phil has
no respect for anything and just perceives other people to be
less than he is. After hearing him talking so much shit, I looked
at [brother/PANTERA guitarist Dimebag DAccording to Vinnie, Anselmo
kept many things away from his bandmates, including his appetite
for heroin. It wasn't until 1996, when he overdosed after a hometown
show in Dallas that the rest of PANTERA learned of affinity for
the needle.
"It was about
118 degrees outside that day, so I thought the dude had passed
out from heat exhaustion," Vinnie said. "He was blue and medics
were hitting him in the chest. Then they're saying it's a heroin
overdose, and I'm like, 'Dude, you gotta be kidding!' Because
he used to preach antidrugs back in the day."
"[In the years
that followed Phil's overdose] he was very private about [the
fact that he was using again]. I don't know if he was using the
whole time or what, but it got to the point where I didn't know
which Phil was gonna show up to the gig. One night he would walk
in and be a fucking animal. The next night, I'd walk backstage
and he'd be lying in the corner and he'd say he was tired. I will
never take anything away from that dude from when he was at the
top of his game, but where he's at right now, I think he's much
less than subpar at what he does. I have a hard time watching
him when I see him on MTV talking about SUPERDOPE RITUAL, or whatever
they're called, and he can't keep his fucking eyes open."
Vinnie Paul's
interview with Revolver appears in the magazine's February 2004
issue, out on the newsstands now.

- 11/28/03
- There has always been a kinship between strippers and Pantera.
Gaggles of exotic dancers have shed their clothes to songs like
COWBOYS FROM HELL and a Russian stripper stationed in South Florida
calls herself Pantera. Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul are so obsessed
with adult clubs themselves that they started their own Dallas nudie
joint, the Clubhouse.
So it makes
sense that when Dime and Vinnie wanted feedback on some new music
they recorded with their post-Pantera band, Damageplan, they reached
out to some real professionals: They picked up six dancers from
the Dallas gentleman's"These girls were all 17 and 18 and had
some big ol' jumbo fake Texas titties on," gloats Vinnie, sitting
inside a dark record company office that's lit by a single candle.
"We put the CD on, the shots of liquor are flowing, and the girls
are jumping up and down, going crazy. Next thing you know, they're
all fucking naked and we're having a good time. But the bottom
line is they loved the music. I expected them to turn their noses
up because they're 15 years younger than me, but they were like,
'This kicks fucking ass. Let's take our clothes off and do some
shots.'"
It was a pivotal
moment for Vinnie and Dime, and one of their first moves toward
reclaiming the heavy metal throne they abdicated two years ago
when Pantera went on hold. It also signaled the completion of
a stressful transformation that began with their seperation from
Pantera's drug-dazed frontman, Phil Anselmo, continued with the
recruitment of new singer, Patrick Lachman and peaked with the
completion of Damageplan's debut album, NEW FOUND POWER.
NEW FOUND
POWER taps into familiar sounds and grooves and enhances them
with fresh textures, styles, and vocals that alternately rip and
soothe. Many songs grind like Pantera's FAR BEYOND DRIVEN, but
some wouldn't sound out of place on mainstream alternative radio.
Unlike many of the Nineties metal bands that ignore mainstream
rock radio, Damageplan pay close attention to what's out there
and assimilate it into their own caustic aesthetic.(Great, they're
going to sound like Nickelback) Open-minded Pantera "We wanted
to maintain the integrity and hard edge that we always had with
Pantera but at the same time not forget that there's another side
of music," explains Vinnie. "Plus, bands have been ripping off
Pantera for so long, we thought we'd take a little back from what
we hear going on today."
NEW FOUND
POWER may be more commercial than anything by Pantera, but even
without the pugnacious Anselmo, Vinnie and Dime are still some
crazy motherfuckers. They're not as young as they were when they
started Pantera 21 years ago, but they still have the mentality
of hungry, rebellious teenagers and they can still party harder
than most rockers half their age. In other words, if you try to
go shot-for-shot with them, make sure you're near a toilet and
have no major plans for the next day.
"I'll be a
fucking 17-year old until the day I die," Vinnie boasts. "The
day I get old is the day I let myself get old. I'm not married,
I don't have any fucking kids, I fucking love going out, I love
interacting with people and most of all I fucking love making
music."
For almost
two years, Vinnie's greatest passion was absent from his life.
Pantera were on their last legs after their completion of their
2000 studio album, REINVENTING THE STEEL, and he anding so small
you couldn't even breathe. Personally, I think the dude was afraid
of success. He wanted to be such an underground icon that the
bigger Pantera got, the more he didn't want to be involved."
For a while,
Anselmo's bandmates sacrified their ideals to placate their singer.
Not only did they narrow their musical boundaries, they agreed
to put their lives on hold while Anselmo immersed himself in various
extreme-metal side projects. Eventually, in the fall of 2001,
Anselmo called Vinnie and threatened to quit Pantera if he wasn't
allowed to spend the next year working with his other bands. He
also asked Vinnie to help convince the band's label to allow him
to release records with other companies so he could get the music
out of his system. "I did everything I could to get the guy squared
away so he could have a good time," gripes Vinnie "We had already
agreed to take six months to a year off anyway, because we had
been doing this for 12 goddamn years and we needed a break. But
next thing I know, he's off doing Down with Rex and talking shit
about us."
While working
on Down, Anselmo agreed to stay in touch with the rest of Pantera
through meetings and conference calls. But he blew off every scheduled
appointment. Then, during last year's Ozzfest, he regularly bad-mouthed
Pantera from the stage. "Phil has no respect for anything and
just perceives other people to be less than he is," Vinnie fumes
"After hearing him talking so much shit, I looked at Dime and
went, 'You know what? I think this might be the end of this. We
better start doing something, because the only thing we know how
to do is play music.'"
Anselmo's
aloofness was typical. During his 13 years with Pantera, the singer
hid many things from his bandmates--including his appetite for
heroin. It wasn't until 1996, when he overdosed after a hometown
show in Dallas, that the rest of Pantera learned of his affinity
for the needle.
"It was about
118 degrees outside that day, so I thought the dude had passed
out from heat exhaustion," Vinnie says "He was blue and medics
were hitting him in the chest. Then they're saying it's a heroin
overdose, and I'm like, 'Dude, you gotta be kidding!' Because
he used to preach anti-drugs back in the day."
After the
near-fatality, Anselmo assured his bandmates that he was done
with smack and they believed him. But as time passed, there were
more and more signs that he was using again. "He was very private
about it," says Vinnie "I don't know if he was using the whole
time or what, but it got to the point where I didn't know which
Phil was gonna show up to the gig. One night he would walk in
a be a fucking animal. The next night, I'd walk backstage and
he'd be lying in the corner and he'd say he was tired. I wAnyone
who has seen Vinnie or Dime late at night might find it hypocritical
for them to reprimand their former singer for taking drugs, seeing
as they routinely drink their asses off. The difference, says
Vinnie, is that he and Dime are in control of their consumption.
He admits that, by conventional terms, they're alcoholics, but
he insists that drinking doesn't get in the way of their creativity
or their career.
"I don't wake
up looking for a bottle," Vinnie says "I drink at night,a dn when
I'm done, I drink all the water I can, and it washes the alcohol
right out of my system. The thing with drug addicts is, when the
high runs out, they need to get high again. When they wake up,
they're not looking for a glass of water, they're looking for
dope. And most ofem end up dead."
The birth
of Damageplan wasn't easy and the group's infancy was filled with
growing pains. Before they even wrote a note, Vinnie and Dime
decided not to write music that sounded like Pantera. But it was
like trying to turn a tiger into a vegetarian. "Everything we
did fucking sucked and it was no fun," says Vinnie "We were trying
to be people we weren't and we were writing these songs that didn't
feel any good. Finally I said, 'You know what? You can take Eddie
and Alex out of Van Halen, buOnce they had written a batch of
songs, Damageplan started to search for a singer. They auditioned
many musicians, but none came close to capturing the power and
range they were after. Their friend Lachman was never even a consideration.
Dime had met
the future Damageplan singer in Los Angeles at the 2000 NAMM show--an
annual music products convention--soon after Lachman started playing
guitar for former Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford. A Priest
fan, Dime bonded with the axeman. At the time, Lachman was seeing
a girl in Dallas, so whenever he was in town to see her, he'd
drop by the Clubhouse. One night Dime confided in Lachman that
he and Vinnie were working on a new band and played the guitarist
some rough tracks. "I listened to it and hired their long-time
Dallas friend Bobzilla. "He's a goddamn kick-ass tattoo artist,"
Vinnie enthuses "He's jammed with a lot of local bands and he
really holds the low end down. We didn't want someone who everyone
knew, and we figured we needed a monster on bass, so since we
can't get Godzilla, why not hire Bobzilla?"
Going into
the recording of NEW FOUND POWER, Vinnie and Dime knew the world
would be wa Joining the fun were Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor
and Zakk Wylde. Taylor, who sings on "Fuck You," first heard the
song when his side band, Stone Sour, was performing in Dallas
and Dime hopped on the tour bus to play him some Damageplan. Taylor
was so blown away he arranged to send Dime a tape of him singing
on part of the song.
Wydle's contributions
were just as spontaneous. A longtime friend, Zakk swung by the
studio to hear some Damagaplan songs before heading back to L.
A. As soon as he heard "ReboThat's the kind of emtional, somewhat
irrational reaction Damageplan can cause. Sure, the music burns
with brutality; yeah, if you sent some of the lyrics to your ex-girlfriend,
you'd be hit with a restraining order before the album reached
the final track. But the energy is infectious and ultimately positive.
For Vinnie,
the past two years have been stressful and aggravating, and he
still burns with contempt for Anselmo, but he's learned something
from the self-destructive behavior of his former frontman

- DIMEBAG DARRELL: 'PANTERA Is Officially Over'
Former PANTERA
guitarist Dimebag Darrell recently spoke to the U.K.'s Rock Sound
magazine about the current status of the band that is widely considered
to be one of the most influential American metal acts of the '90s.
When asked
point-blank if PANTERA is officially over, Dimebag said, "Oh yeah,
it's been officially over since our lead singer [Philip Anselmo]
started announcing it from stages across the United States." Dimebag
went on to explain that "[Anselmo] threatened it before but when
he started announcing it in the press and from onstage, that was
when it became official. He never had the decency to talk to us
about it. Nobody would return our calls so me and [PANTERA drummer]
Vinnie [Paul] just sat at home not knowing what the fuck was going
on."
Despite all
the obvious bad blood, Dimebag admited "we're not ashamed of a
fuckin' thing we've done. It was a great ride and we wanted it
to last forever. It didn't but we're back with [our new band]
DAMAGEPLAN and we're ready to kick some muthafuckin' dick!"
DAMAGEPLAN,
which features Darrell, Vinnie, singer Patrick Lachman (former
HALFORD/DIESEL MACHINE guitarist) and bassist Bobzilla, will release
their debut album, "New Found Power", on February 10 through Elektra
Records. The group expect to begin playing select shows in January,
with a full-scale North American tour to follow shortly after

With PANTERA, Sticking With SUPERJOINT RITUAL - May 14, 2003
Vocalist Phil Anselmo says that he is done with PANTERA and
he intends to focus all his time and energy on SUPERJOINT RITUAL.
"There was a lot of business with Warner Bros. and this and that
DOWN and PANTERA and this and that, and etc. etc." Anselmo was
quoted as saying by MetalIndex.com. "Whatever. Pretty much what
I'm doing here is I'm sticking with SUPERJOINT, and I'm not doing
fuckin' anything else. This is where I'm most comfortable and
this it the type of music that I wanna do, you know?"
Anselmo says that he is proud of what PANTERA achieved and is
also proud that they pulled the plug rather than faded away. "If
you think about it, PANTERA never went away until we personally
said, 'Fuck it'."
Asked if he sees patching up differences and rejoining DOWN or
PANTERA, Anselmo said, "Never say never... [but] not right now."
SUPERJOINT RITUAL's sophomore album, "A Lethal Dose Of American
Hatred", is due on July 22 through Sanctuary Records.

Some people say death is just a part of life.... But it becomes a
cold reality when it hits one of your own. Dave was a true brother
to us. We had the pleasure of knowing him for years before the world
knew him as Dave "Stage" Williams from Drowning Pool. We
are proud to say that in life he was the same person now as we knew
back then. All the success, platinum records, etc never changed him.
He was always the same big hearted, fun loving Dave, never a rock
star... Just Dave. He loved music and most of all he loved his family,
friends and fans. It's impossible to say with words how much fun it
was to hang with Dave. He was the full package! His wit, charisma
and drive to kick ass will be deeply missed by all.....
- Dear Dave.....
- With a heart the
size of Texas
- forever your spirit
will shine through
- in our loving memories
of you

- Our heartfelt condolences
and love go out to CJ, Mike, & Stevie, our Drowning Pool Brothers,

- PANTERA POSTPONES HEADLINE TOUR UNTIL 2001, FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN THEIR 14 YEAR CAREER:
Platinum recording artists Pantera have been forced to postpone the
first leg of their headline arena tour due to lead singer Philip Anselmo
breaking two ribs.
Scheduled to begin on November 7, the tour dates will be rescheduled
starting February 2001 subject to venue availability.
We all just spoke with Philip, he feels terrible and its just humanly
impossible to sing with two broken ribs, stated Pantera drummer and
spokesperson Vinnie Paul. All 4 of us just want him to heal quick
so we can get the hell on the road. We know that all of our fans were
eagerly awaiting the tour and will be very disappointed, as are all
four of us. It was an accident and it couldnt be helped. We have every
intention of hitting all the cities that we were going to play on
this tour. We look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Since their inception, Pantera has garnered dozens of gold
and platinum albums worldwide, one platinum home video, two gold home
videos and three Grammy nominations all accomplished with virtually
no radio support or video exposure. After relentless touring following
their breakthrough albums Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display
of Power and Far Beyond Driven, Pantera was invited
to tour with their idols, Black Sabbath as part of the very first
Ozzfest tour and follow-up Black Sabbath Reunion Tour. Pantera recently
completed this summers Ozzfest tour, sharing the bill with Ozzy.
Pantera is Philip Anselmo on lead vocals, Dimebag Darrell on guitar,
Vinnie Paul on drums and Rex Brown on bass.
Additional information concerning new and re-scheduled tour dates,
ticket information and more on Pantera will be forthcoming.

-From Ozzfest.com: IRVINE, CALIF. SHOW SEPT. 3 CANCELLED; SAN BERNARDINO
GETS BIGGER! The September 3 Ozzfest date scheduled for the Verizon
Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, Calif. has been taken off the tour
itinerary. The Irvine show was originally put on sale to take pressure
off the San Bernardino date. For those who attended last year the Blockbuster
Pavilion had 47,000 fans pass through the gates and both venue and tour
management felt it would be prudent to not push the limits of crowd
control. Hence, we were going to limit the Blockbuster show attendence
and do Irvine as a second date. That said, we have since come up with
a security plan to handle the expected crowd, and furthermore, public
feedback is such that everyone wants to be at the Blockbuster show.
Ticket refunds for the Irvine show can be obtained at the point of purchase.
