During a recent interview with Britain's Kerrang! magazine, PANTERA/DOWN frontman Philip Anselmo once again commented on the possibility of DOWN “overtaking” his main band, thus causing a shift in the singer's priorities. In the issue dated March 9th, 2002 featuring Anselmo on the cover, Philip states the following:
“I don't wanna make anybody mad that I've ever played music with before because I have nothing but respect for them, but this particular DOWN record was one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done in my life, man.
“You have to admit that when I'm in PANTERA, I have to take on a f.cking role, y'know? I have to be very aggressive. And it's a part of me, but I'm not 22 anymore. I'm not in bar rooms fighting or doing any of that sh.t. DOWN is about songs and what the songs sound like. It's not about how much you can get up on stage and jump around. There ain't nobody playing this kinda sh.t right now and I'm freaking out on it unlike I've ever freaked on any other f.cking record. I can't listen to it enough without it trapping me.
“We'll take things one step at a time. But if this was to take over the other bands, f.ck, I'd say it was damn worth it.”
