biography of Philip hansen "phil" anselmo
Born: June 30, 1968 in New Orleans, Loiusiana. Lived in Metairie, Louisiana
Phil developed an admiration for heavy metal as a teenager and led to his formation of many bands in the 80's, and is now known as one of the best heavy metal singers. Was the frontman of the band Pantera until 2001 when the band broke up, and the lead guitarist, "Dimebag Darrel" had died in 2004. He has been in many bands like Necrophagia, Superjoint Ritual, and Down. Lately, he has been on tour with Down and has been since 1996. As a teenager he was a calm and quiet kid. He would usually work on fishing boats as a young man. His father owned a resturaunt called "Anselmo's" but it had to be shut down from the wake of Katrina. The video below has him being interviewed about his struggle with drugs and much more. He has been doing gigs ever since he was about 13 and is still doing them around the world today. He is a role model to me because he has went through really hard times and is still coming out on top. He now has interviews with a lot of famous wrestlers and boxers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lnBuAQDTzI
