Anselmo is one of the best metal vocalists to come out of the U.S. When playing live, he and Dime were an unstoppable force.

Phil is a legendary frontman. Nobody can deny that.
@stevsh89
Absolutely shocked that anyone could fall out with Dave Mustaine…..
@jackbutler1955
Phil mastered his craft... Pantera wasn't doing anything that set them apart till they got Phil.. Phil made Pantera heavier than all else
@EvanSJSanders
I met phil anselmo last year 2021 in Indianapolis at days of the dead. He really is such a nice guy. I told him i was a fan we talked bullshitted took a picture with me and we smoked a joint. You can tell hes sti hurt. He wanted to make amends but its hard when your battling demons
@juliusbushiv2904
You can’t blame Phil for a psychopath
@WhiteManXRP
Dude was untouchable in Pantera, absolutely incredible work
@ultralyrics1
Phil has more charisma than most front men
@danalarose846
I love Phil after watching an interview where he talked about his addiction and took responsibility for his actions.
@SethHMG
Having met Phil a couple 2-3 times out and about New Orleans (and seeing him hanging out and chatting with people of all colors, shapes, sizes, etc), I am a fan and supporter. On stage, he comes across as having an ego the size of a small planet, but in person, he’s a very down-to-earth guy and doesn’t have any trace of that rockstar BS some musicians have. He’s arguably the best frontman ever, but if not, he’s certainly in the running. I can forgive him for saying some dumb shit while under the influence.
@metalrockguy7833
Cant believe 9/11 somewhat also indirectly lead the downfall of Pantera
@danielsarn3823
I think Phil is a teddybear at heart, his interviews are playful and his stories are bizarrely humorous yet strangely captivating. Regardless of what anybody thinks he is an absolute legend and one of the greatest frontmen ever.

I got to meet Phil along with the rest of Down a long time ago when I was 15 years old. The guy was a total sweetheart. Great with the fans, extremely down to earth and loved to talk to everyone. He definitely plays a tough guy/asshole for the media/audience like David Lee Roth used to. But there's no denying he crossed boundaries that cannot be forgotten. He messed up big-time when the Dimebash incident happened. He knows it too, deep down. Racial issues are never to be ignored. Unfortunately his legacy will be one with holes in it. A legacy of amazing songs, great times, incredible power and energy, an undeniably great voice, but also substance abuse, mental health struggles, and unfortunately, racism. As a ginormous Pantera & Down fan, I can only hope Phil continues to stay sober and healthy, and has the right people around him and has made strides for the better. I can tell as of late he seems more mature and humble. It's awesome to see.
@Bking7string
Got to see them 5 times, best concerts of my life.
@thyweebhub
Love or hate Phil there is one thing he’s not that still goes around…he is not racist, overtime and hopefully he has changed as a person and I think he has. I have my gripes with him at times but I still love him regardless and only want the best🤘🏾
@johntom23
Phil Anselmo is that type of guy hothead. If you tell him "Phil don't do that" he will do that because you tell him not to. Well... That was before. Phil is 4,5 years sober and his voice is back.
@jamariusjones690
I do agree that Phil did fuck up from the years, including 2016. But Robb isn't perfect either: he used racial and homophobic slurs a couple of times and he acted like he's "special" I'm not saying Phil and Rob are "racist" or " homophobic", they both messed up and I hate how Rob is being virtuous when he did stupid shit as well.
@joshualett6536
I can’t explain it but the last time I ever saw them play in 2000 when the show was over I just knew in my bones it would be the last time.
@jeremyswalley8625
He kinda did to Pantera what David Lee Roth did to Van Halen. Was working on his side project when everyone else agreed on a hiatus.. Heroin didn’t help Phil either!! That’s when he really became an ass!!
