In response to the killing of Dimebag Darrell, ex-Pantera singer Phil Anselmo has issued a rambling, emotional statement saying he's devastated by what happened, and calling the slain guitarist "the most beautiful person, one of my best friends in

I never got a chance to say goodbye in the right way and it kills me. I wish to God I could've gone to his funeral." — Ex-Pantera Frontman Phil Anselmo

"I love Dimebag Darrell because there was not one mother----er like him," he said. "I love him like a brother loves a brother."

i read that. too bad phil didn't make amends with dimebag when he had the chance. i don't want to think about how i'd feel if a friend of mine died before we could resolve a fight. hopefully he will disappear for a while because superjoint sucks.

if a tree falls in the forest . . .

This isn't quite as good news as Phil getting murdered... but it's close.

Am I the only person in the world who still likes him and his music?

Did Phil play guitar in that band Necrophagia years ago? I saw a video on the dvd of The Beyond and it looks like Phil,but I'm not sure.

Yes he did

i'm still a fan, god dammit

Thats good to hear.

I liked everything between Cowboys and Far Beyond Driven. That's not really the point. The fact that Phil Anselmo is a disgusting homosexual is, however.

i used to think phil was really cool, but he makes bad music now and says stupid things in the media. you can't go to a phil show without him going on incoherent rants for 20 minutes between each song.

The time I saw them in concert was made me stop being a fan. For someone who's supposed to be such a tough ass, hard drinking, bar brawler... he was sure a fucking pussy.

Me too!!!

i find it really funny how a month ago i was reading posts on blabbermouth how phil 'would punch dime in the face if he saw him,' and now he 'wishes he could have said goodbye.'

yeah he did, the only non pantera thing he did besides down that is actually worth a damn.

how could you forget viking crown???? hahaha

i think phil is an asshole, but he'd have to be a hollowed out piece of shit not to feel some kind of remorse and wish he could have resolved things with dimebag. i believe he wishes he could have said goodbye. i imagine tragedies can change the way you feel about a grudge.

oh my god, i totally forgot about them. viking crown was sad.

YES IT WAS SAD! and I hope phil does leave music.

It was done as a joke.

yeah that is true, but i think when someone close to you dies, it changes everything, puts things into perspective. phil and dimebag were friends for over 10 years, playing in pantera together, i don't think it would be that easy to be upset with a friend and say shit about each other and really mean it. they had a beef, and were probably just using the media to blow off steam.
i used to think phil was an asshole for saying shit about pantera and whatnot, i didn't even think he'd care much that dimebag was killed, but i kinda respect him more now that he's apologized, and wishes he could've made peace with dimebag. it's a fuckin' shitty situation, i don't blame him for wanting to quit music.

what i find is lame is that he had to be such a toughguy and be all 'im more badassed than dime and vinnie, cus i listen to extreme metal!' now that dimes gone, he showed his true colors and lets everyone know how much of a huge act he puts up.

i agree, i have plenty of friends who i'd love to beat the shit out of them because they need a good ass whipping, but i still love them. i lost a load of respect for phil when he made superjoint ritual because he became a drug addict again, made shitty music with SR, and became a horrible frontman, making no sense when he talked in between songs. but i never believed that he truly hated Dimebag or Vinny Paul or anything like that

As far as I know, that's not the case, Phil and Killjoy are apparently fans of stuff like BEHERIT and VON and wanted to play in that style, but they certainly didn't pull that off.

Phil loves black metal. My buddy has posters of him with Mayhem and Darkthrone shirts on and shit. I heard a bootleg once from Dynamo I think and Phil goes off for like 5 minutes about emperor and shit.
Did he have something to do with Lord Gore? I thought he was in like 9 bands.
