WTF is up with Phil anselmo

"big bank?" what do you mean? like a last hurah, if so, i mean i reckon but dudes just been fallin down and down, he said in an interview he's an addict for life and i think his filthy habits are catching up with him in depression and are going to rott away at his musical talents.
 
I think unfortunetly Phils days are numbered Which is truely a shame I can remember back when Pantera was IT if you listened to metal you were listening to Pantera its interesting how he has degenerated but he sets a good example of what not to do .......Look at Phil and then tell me if drugs look good lol I mean smokin some pot is nothing but he has gone way off the deep end I can only hope for him and the ppl he loves that he can overcome all of this But I really dont think its possible like he said hes an addict for life but thats by HIS own choice if he wanted to he could clean up ..... it makes me wonder what went wrong

By Big Bank I mean, if he's on a death pool list you'll score bigtime...
An addict is an addict for life, though some choose to do something about it & go into remission & others are self destructive & continue in the down the other path.
I truely hope he gets his shit together. I thought the same of Lane Staley....
 
Yeh, the drugs and booze is finally catching up to him, and i predict he will be the next rock n' roll casuality. He's just gone down to absolute zero, physically and musically.
 
Remember how he got killed from heroin overuse too many times? I thought he quit heroin but I could be wrong. I guess all that alchol he took is fucking him up now. Even though, that guy can be a big dick I love his music and I hope he gets better some how. I dont want him to end up like Layne Stayley.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone of these musicians.
I work with addicts & it's the nature of their illness.
They will all fall off the wagon, some NEVER get better...

I am a Recovering Alcoholic so I do understand what its like and even after over 4 years of soberiety I still Feel it every single day Its like a fire that never stops burning I almost drank myself to death I was a complete mess It takes an amazing amount of will power to stay sober Somedays are easier than others but it never leaves you, But its not like Addicts dont have the will power to quit they have plenty :) they can always find their fix when they need it the key is to be able redirect that will power towards quiting anyways I hope Phil can find the strength to give up the drugs and drink before its to late

Exactly, if you want to use you can get it anywhere, booze, dope, pills, ect.
It's redirecting that energy & maintaining it....
 
I saw him on that Mtv2 show as well and he looked and sounded stoned out of his gourd. Its sad to see, maybe the stress of his divorce and the break up of Pantera and rumored break up of Down have gotten to him and he has turned to drugs because of this. Maybe it was just an act. I think Phil is gonna end up like Ozzy, thats if he doesn't OD first. I hope he can get his act together cuz he sure has talent and drive.
