Phil Anselmo talks about the struggles of addiction,and how it ruined Pantera.

[Gurgled_Sliced_Throat]

I remember this earlier speech he gave at Loyola University. Really gives you a personal look at his day to day as an addict, and it is fuckin gnarly. Bangin' like 12 bags of dope a day, he is certainly lucky to be alive. I miss Pantera, and Necrophagia even.

I've watched this a few times. I like how he explained what it felt like coming off of herion. Like hitting concrete from jumping off a building every 5 minutes.

I don't care what people think of him, it takes a lot to admit your mistakes, and actually learn from them. He re-evaluted his life. You could see the depth in his eyes,when the interviewer mentioned about Dime and the type of memories he has.

He's definitely one of my favorite recovery stories. He reminds me of my dad in a way.

Wasn't it a gunshot that ruined Pantera?
RIP dimebag

It was the dope over all, and Phil refusing to get back surgery which led to more dope and then eventually splitting up and Dime n Vinnie having to gig some small shit hole in bumfuck Ohio.

CFH!!
