DOWN frontman Philip Anselmo (ex-PANTERA) was interviewed by Fuse TV before the band's performance at the Voodoo Experience festival in New Orleans on October 31st.

Watch the video interview, below.

Down guitarist Pepper Keenan is featured in a new interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com. An excerpt is available below.

UG: The members of Down could easily be considered veteran players with the collective number of years in the business. Do you see yourself slowing down at all in the next five or ten years?

Keenan: "I enjoy touring. You get spoiled sometimes. We’ve been doing it so long, and we kind of do it at a comfortable pace now. In the beginning we were all maniacs. Now we have two buses and we have room so that we don’t kill each other. We figure out how to make it work."

UG: When you first came together to form Down, each member had already a pretty successful go-round in the music scene. Given the differing backgrounds, did you still find yourself on the same page as far as the musical vision?

Keenan: "We knew what we wanted to do.We wanted to start a band that we would like if we weren’t in it. The first song we ever wrote, we wrote it on a little cassette four-track. It had been like thirty minutes, and then Phil sang on it. We started laughing our asses off at how good it sounded. It was just ridiculous. We ended finishing it about two hours later. We knew we wanted to start a band that we could get old in. We didn’t have to do mellow or acoustic stuff or not have to be Slayer. We enjoy playing music period. I don’t care what it is."
