Just a few weeks after we published our interview with Phil Anselmo regarding Down’s latest EP, we were on the phone with the man again. The singer is everywhere lately. Shortly after completing a North-American tour with Down, he was ready to go back on the roads of the old continent with his solo band The Illegals.
Although he sounded tired, the man was also in a joking mood. When he picked up the phone (“Aahhh, yeah!”), we automatically asked: “Is this Philip Anselmo ?”, just to hear him reply: “No, it’s Gene Simmons!” Why did we even ask? This ballsy voice leaves no place for doubt: it’s the one we’re used to hearing on “I’m Broken”, “Walk”, or “Drag The Waters”. “Ah, busy as fuck, getting ready to head over to Europe Monday”, he said when we asked him how he was doing.
Since we’d already largely talked about Down and his solo band during our latest two interviews, we took this new opportunity to question him about more general subjects (especially the stage), and about his performance of Pantera songs alongside Kill Devil Hill and Black Label Society, precisely ten years after the death of guitarist Dimebag Darrell.
