July 3, 2014, 10 years ago
Vocalist Phil Anselmo (Down, Pantera) is featured in a new interview with Rocksverige.se. An excerpt is available below:
Q: After all the stuff you´ve been through and experienced, if you had a chance to go back in time and give some advice to your younger self when you quit school to become a rock and roller, what would it be?
Phil: "I would say, knowing what I know now, stay off the drinking! Quit fucking drinking so much and take better care of your body! Make sure your core is strong, keep your back strong, because you don´t wanna go through what you went through when you injured yourself and made every rookie mistake in the book with drugs, escapism and all of that. You don´t play music, initially, to get chicks and drugs. You do it because you love music. That´s the big reminder I would definitely say. Do it for the love of music and everything else will fall in line eventually, or not? Take the chance, be a lifer or at least grind it out till you find out!"
