Phil Anselmo

“The power of the riff is something that is undeniable.”

“I think that anyone who is a true metalhead has a little bit of a misfit in them.”

“Heavy metal is a lifestyle, it's not a fad.”

“Don't ever, ever, ever give up. You're not a quitter.”

“You can't really control what people think. You can't really control what they're going to say about you.”

“Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.”

“I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can't get anywhere without unity.”

“I take my music seriously, but I don't take myself too seriously.”

“You've got to be in it for the long haul. You've got to be in it for the love of the music.”
