Say it ain't so Phil!?!?! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!
PHIL ANSELMO MIGHT DITCH PANTERA? (02/18/2002)
As far as I'm concerned, this is all rumor...especially since it was originally posted on a Dutch hard rock site, and translation can lead to any number of interpretations:
From Blabbermouth.net:
PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo has sensationally hinted to the Dutch Aardschok magazine that he may quit the Texas metal act before another studio album is recorded. In the March 2002 issue of the publication, Anselmo states that "PANTERA was my home for many, many years. I don't have a problem with anyone in the band. PANTERA gave me a lot, and I wouldn't be the same person without them. But I think we lost a piece of what we once stood for. Reinventing [The Steel] was a step in the right direction, but it's just not like it used to be anymore. There is a time [when] you have to say: enough is enough. I don't want to be a heavy metal grandpa. I'm 33 and have broken all the bones in my body serving PANTERA. But I'm not 22 anymore. I just don't get the feeling I used to singing 'Cowboys From Hell' or 'Walk'. No one knows what the future holds, but our last tour was with SLAYER, and I don't think there could be a better-ending tour. I don't want to go on and on like JUDAS PRIEST or SABBATH. I prefer [the] SOUNDGARDEN [approach], who called it a day at the peak of their fame." When pressed to be more specific about what this meant with respect to PANTERA's future, Phil responded simply that "it means what it means, and we shall see..."
