certain music
You have certain expressions when you write music, a lot of different emotions, a lot of different feelings.
best meant truly
I've always said that Pantera fans were the best in the world, and I truly meant that, and I still mean it.
heavy hairstyles wanted
With this LP we were all very clear on the approach we wanted to take, which was to do something heavy, but also experiment with a lot of other things we really like.
dark glowing caves
I'm glowing in the dark with my studio tan. I've been in a cave of music for months and months and months.
heart men thinking
We, PANTERA, had the greatest, the most intense, dedicated fans I've ever seen in my ******* life. And I really hope with all my heart that one day, people - especially our fans and my friends - can see clearly enough to think for themselves and really realize that I have nothing but love for them. I've just been going through personal hell since December. Once again, it's very hard to talk about, man. You know, my heart is in a thousand pieces a day.
tired get-real
There it is again. Image. Once again. I get really tired of it quick
thinking sea world
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.
lying believe evil
I won't lie to you and make you believe what's evil, is making love, and making friends, and meeting God your own way... the RIGHT way.
hardcore following
We definitely have a hardcore following.
done wanted i-can
I can easily say I've done everything I've wanted in music.
letting-go song guitar
Speaking of stage freight. I was terrified! It was in NOLA at an all ages show. I was wearing Jeans, a Van Halen t-shirt, and a bandana on my neck. Once I gripped that microphone stand, I did not let go! I plugged my microphone into a guitar FX pedal. Then at the end of the a Black Sabbath song we were covering, I hit the guitar pedal. It was horrific!
sound heavy-metal pantera
Pantera revolutionized the sound and the approach to heavy metal. It's been regurgitated. Once you up the production on a product and not just the playing but the actual production, then it's going to up the ante.
real important today
And it seems to be today, image is a real important thing once again
past healthy type
I am the type that cannot stay put in living in the past and solely in the past. It's not healthy and it doesn't feel right.
