I think music is a big, big wide world, and I am voyager on this particular ship in this sea of wild music, and I’m gonna dive in and find as many fish as I can and catch them all. I love music. Phil Anselmo Read Quote
It was awesome growing up in New Orleans because there were great metal bands, there were great hardcore bands, there were great thrash metal bands in the middle ’80s and what-not.

I love to play guitar. I’ve been writing my own songs on the axe since I was nine years old. I suck at leads. Phil Anselmo Read Quote

In my better sense of mind, I know that I’m far from alone and far from the worst, and the earth keeps spinning. Everything keeps moving, with or without me. Phil Anselmo Read Quote
I love the Beatles, and when I was very young, I had young parents, so Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles constantly were big influences on my life. Phil Anselmo Read Quote
