Phil Anselmo comments on Diamond Darrell

Fans at public memorial

Darrell and Phil Together
Via Blogcritics, this comment purportedly related by Phil Anselmo on a messageboard:
........
Philip loved Darrell like a brother, always. They accomplished things together that most wouldn't even dare to dream. None of us can know what it's like to be riding such a big machine, it changes the face of music and brings joy millions of people's lives around the globe. The rewards are big, but the stress is unimaginable if things don't go perfectly. Yes Pantera broke up and there was a lot of shit talking through the media.
.......
Of all the time I've spent with Rex and Philip, I never badgered them about Pantera, but the subject did come up every once in a while. As for Rex, he would refer to the state of things simply as "silly nonsense". All I ever got out of Philip was something like "nyaaaa... I just don't feel like sitting down and writing Pantera riffs right now."... and that's it! No crazy accusations, name calling, or carrying on. As a matter of fact, in the middle of all the heat, Philip described Vinnie as "the perfect drummer" and that Vinnie could drum more perfect than a drum machine if he so chose. What he said of Dime, he also repeated tonight. "The best of the best".

It's sad that the media would irritate the situation so much. Countless times, Kate and I would listen in on Phil doing interviews. Always, always, always, the jackals wanted Pantera dirt. Sometimes Philip would give it to them, sometimes he would not. However every single time I was there, he expressed his love for, and wished luck to Vinnie and Dime but that was somehow left out of the final print more times than not. I was at Philip's house a few weeks ago and I informed him that I handle the Official Pantera site now, and he asked me if I talked to Dime. I said "No, when was the last time YOU talked to him?" with a sigh, he said "three years". Not a "fuckin right 3 years" not a "yeah three years and it's gonna be three more"... but the dude was genuinely disappointed about the situation. I could tell... the time to patch things up was drawing near.

There's more I want to share, but it's almost 5AM right now, and I just managed to hold myself together long enough to get that out.

Philip isn't hiding out or waiting for the right moment to speak, he's in Texas right now searching for answers to this tragedy the best he can. There was one thing he asked of me, that I humbly bring to you all:

Darrell my brother. The best of the best.
-Philip H Anselmo


The pain of a friend's loss. The pain of regret. The sorrow of living on.

Or, as Jethro Tull put it, "Too old to rock and roll, too young to die"

C'est la vie
Updates:
Phil Anselmo "not welcome" at Dimebag's funeral. Some things are personal in the end.

The relative complexities of women's and men's fashion

Both women and men could have the pressures of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's style usually feels a lot simpler. Of course, for both sexes, clothes and style choices can be just as complicated, and there are several'modern'items that could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people walking on in 70s flames? On the other side, men's style has a few staple goods that will exist forever - which man is likely to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Select basic cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why traditional men's fashion is timeless

The basic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several options for various occasions, but they are all popular in their quest for a wise, sharp try to find the person. The neat thing about common style for men is that it's effectively fashionable effectively neat. A well-groomed lady will almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the design of such clothing. A match will be used to work in many jobs because of the professional search it offers to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Similarly a suit will undoubtedly be worn to several social situations, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This incredible flexibility which allows suits to be used in nearly all events is what gives it its timeless side and a lasting invest men's fashion.

Contemporary trends in classic men's fashion

Although common men's designs can never be replaced, it is interesting to observe that changes in men's fashion trends have produced certain traditional garments back into fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, specially, has taken back a wide-variety of common models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet lavish way, operating in a polished approach and placing importance on appearance. This development for nearly'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is evident from events such as the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress in particularly Victorian-style attire and take to the roads on vintage bikes - with lots of the men wearing impressive mustaches! This is only one of many samples of proof exhibiting the resurrection of such variations. Additionally, there are numerous sites on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to giving articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst certain issues with classic men's style may be brought back as new developments, the simple garments that they derive from will never slip out of fashion.
