dime gave me the finger at a pantara concert in the 90s and phil told me he loved me at a down concert two years ago...haha just two random memories this topic brought up
Haha sounds like fun.
I enjoy both bands. I do however really enjoy the dirtiness and dark sounds that Down produces. It seems more raw and angry, even if none of the topics in the songs really focus on it. The music videos have always been gritty as well, case in point:
The 90's metal scene in Louisiana must have been so awesome to be in. I love all the sludge, doom and heavy music those bands made. Down, Crowbar, Eyehategod, etc.

Dropping an Autobiography Soon
Going to have to definitely get that, for sure.
As far as all metal music goes, I find Phil the best and my favorite vocalist out of any band. The guy plays guitar, drums and can sing from any range - from gutteral vocals (TGSTK), high shrieks, punk-like speeds (Superjoint) and symphonic levels (Cemetery Gates). He's a talented musician for sure. I love just about every side project and band he's done. He might have been an asshole junkie at some points but he's always been a productive musician regardless. You can't say that about too many people.
The Great Southern Trendkill is my favorite Pantera album as it is radically the most different. It came out when nu-metal was the thing and it kinda dropped at an awkward time for the band and out of nowhere. Has some great songs like Suicide Note (both parts), 10's, the title track, Floods and Sandblasted Skin.
Down II was the first album I bought by the band and it has some great cuts. My favorite is New Orleans is a Dying Whore, followed closely by Lysergik Funeral Procession. Every Down album is great to me though.
Feel free to ramble and sound like a fanboy, I'm right there with you willingly able to join in on conversation.
Space, you are my best friend lol.
You are dead on about him being the best metal vocalist. Is anyone on here going to the Housecore Horror Festival in October? I got VIP tickets in February and can't wait! I missed Phil and the Illegals on their first tour and can't wait to see them there!
P.S. How do I post pictures on here?
ORLY?
Big fan too eh?
That sounds cool. I had the Housecore compilation album and he has some unique, cool bands signed to the label. A Fetival would be neat.

It is not just bands on his album, there are a ton of other bands (Gwar, Pig Destroyer, Eye Hate God, FUCKING GOBLIN and a lot more). It is also a film festival and will be playing old and new horror movies. It is going down in Austin, TX. Check it out on their website http://housecorehorrorfilmfestival.com/ I bought VIP tickets in February but you can still get combo badges or 1 day passes.
I like how the new track starts how the album ended. Pretty cool continuity. Housecore Horror Fest starts tomorrow!!! The wait is finally over! Who is going??
One day I hope to, maybe I should plan for next year. Haven't done anything really for Halloween type stuff in years.
Another new track and for free download!
Also excellent!
Cooking Hostile Episode one!
I proposed to my girl before the Down set at The Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin 2 weekends ago. Here is a picture we got taken with Phil and signed the next day plus a video of the proposal. It was kinda rushed because they were running behind (I didn't get to say my speech and we got kicked off stage before we could even kiss!)but it was still badass!
Here is a crappy cell phone video, I am waiting for the people at Housecore to send me the HD version:
That's pretty awesome dude. Congrats.
Nice!
I haven't dug up the Down thread but the second EP for Down IV is completed!
That is probably the weakest of the Cooking Hostile videos. Oh well, still decent. I can't wait to see Phil and the Illegals on the 28th in Dallas. Its the last night of the tour so it should be badass! As far as Down goes the new guitarist was a badass at the Housecore Horror Film Festival and I can't wait to hear him on the new record!
Episode 3 is out!
Phil's looking better...
Anyone want an ultra rare signed copy of Phil and the Illegals first album? This is the black and red splatter version that is limited to 300 copies. I hate to part with this but I still have 2 others! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=171362139219
I seen it earlier and was gonna post but didn't want to resurrect the thread. Nice going.
at first I thought to myself, damn his Phil impersonation is really improving! Only to read at the end that it was really Phil!
awesome of Phil to take time off to do it
