Phil Anselmo: Well� it's kind of a moot point here. But if you're talking in� imaginary terms, if you're talking what ifs, theoretically, yeah. Rex and I actually talk about it a lot and we know� Pantera could have kept going.
The interview that sparked off everybody's imagination� Little to everyone's knowledge, the guy who asked me that- it was supposed to be off the record- he asked me straight out what would happen if [we] got into a fight- a physical thing. First of all, that never would have happened. Second of all, theoretically, once again- obviously, I would have the advantage over them. So I put it in a [certain] way, like a million motherf***ers do every day- boxers, et cetera- you know, they say they're going to do terrible, horrible things to each other, and then after everything clears, they shake hands and hug each other and it's done. But if things are put as an absolute, and it's just black and white, it's just read and it's taken that way, and it's very unfortunate that it was. Because, as I've said before, Pantera was a mighty force man.
...And not only do I miss those days, and Dimebag and Vinnie, and the whole crew, and the whole vibe, and the pride that was behind it, and the validity that was behind it- as I've said before, Rex and I� We always said that we would have all of us gotten into one room and argued and screamed� And a lot of it would have been my fault, but at the time I was a wounded duck. I needed back surgery so bad, it was pathetic. And I've uh� I've made some bad choices. - more on this story
