If you have digital cable, check your listings. It was on last night at midnight and ti will be on today around noon on VH-1. That's Eastern time, for those in the US.

I caught the last fifteen or so minutes of it last night and it was really good. They have interviews with Vinnie, Phil, and Rita, (I think she's their sister or something). Anyway, I don't have much time to write a detailed description of the program, but it's really good, and if you have the means, you should definitely see it. You can thank me later.

Though chances are it will come out on DVD sooner or later.

In my personal opinion they focused way too much on Phil. But hey, he's the lead singer, so naturally that'll attract nonmusicians the most. It was alright -- I was just really surprised to see it on there. They were having a metal night or something, and actually had a good band on! So at least they're heading in the right direction. They've always been a bit more metal than MTV anyway. What'd'ya expect from mainstream television.

And though this has nothing to do with that particular program, I'm curious about something. When everybody else watches VH1 (well, I rarely do, but hell, stick with me) is the sound mix way out of whack? All my other channels are fine, but VH1 has its music/score mix too high (or its mic/voices side too low). The music always blasts over the people talking and I can barely make out what they say. It does it on commercials, too, I think. So I figured it was a problem with the actual company that airs them. But am I the only one?

Yeah Phil is a wanker. I read that interview in Metal Hammer, he spouted some right violent crap in Vinnie and Dimes direction about how Vinnie's a coward and I'll beat his sorry ass and how someone should severly beat up Dime etc.. and a week or so later Dime gets killed! Then he blubs about losing his bro and not being able to go to the funeral!! Uh Duh! Twat!

People sometimes say a lot of shit they don't mean. Don't forget that Phil is, (or at least was), a rockstar, and if there's one thing rockstars are famous for, (other than overdosing on drugs), it's the bullshit statements they make in interviews. In my opinion, that stuff should be taken, as they say, with a grain of salt. Plus, that interview was probably done quite a while before Dime's death, even if it was published a week before.

Phil and Dime were best friends for almost 20 fuckin years, and that's not something that gets forgotten overnight. I've certainly said worse shit than that about people that I actually don't like and never have liked, but I would never wish them death. And don't forget, Vinnie and Dime weren't exactly showering Phil with compliments, either. I've read some interviews where they brought out a lot of dirty laundry which should've never seen the light of day. They were understandably bitter over Pantera's breakup, but hey, life goes on, and a line must be drawn somewhere.

Phil had no obligation to stay in Pantera. If his heart and his mind were no longer in it, there was really no reason for him to stay. Sure, he could have done some half assed shit and tried to ride Pantera's wave of fame and popularity as far as he could, but he choose not to. Phil went from a multi platinum band with guaranteed headlining or co-headlining gigs to a small time indie band, and that's pretty admirable.

Now I'm not saying that the way he handled tihngs was exactly the best way to do it, if anything it was one of the worst ways imaginable, but what's done is done and it can't be taken back. I'm sure that if Phil could go back and change some things, he would do a lto of stuff differently, but due to the sad lack of a flux capacitor equipped Delorean, he can't.

And you know he's got to feel partially responsible for Dime's death, being how the breakup of Pantera was being cited as the main reason that asshole shot him. That's not an easy load to carry on your shoulders, I don't care who you are.

EDIT: What's Dimevision?

Dimevision's a DVD that recently was released that celebrates Dime's life. Its like the other home videos they released.

Good point, obviously media can misrepresent, sex and salacious scandal sells more than twee. And despite what band these guys were in the interview would always drift to Pantera(just look at Sepultura/Soulfly and Megadeth interviews over the years!) There is a way of behaving within the public forum and Phil has glittering back catalogue of shooting his mouth off, I recall homophobia and racism being levelled at him some years back and what was that open letter about flat lining in ER because he'd jacked too much 'H' in to his arm???? Was we meant to feel sorry for him? I don't know! Why is it that his back surgery is the 'worst, most hard as bugger painful back surgery in the history of back surgery. ever!'??? He's so hard I got wet!
Regardless of the time span from doing the interview to it being published he still said some pretty venomuos stuff, violent words are still violent words regardless of when they are said. I'm not saying Dime and Co were innocent of the mud slinging, I recall how they said he's back on drugs and his voice isn't what it used to be etc

He could have been honest with the rest of the band and told them he no longer wanted to be in Pantera, was he edging his bets just incase one of his side projects didn't take off? It's only common curtiousy not to have kept them hanging on for two years! After all thery'd been in the same band for 15-16 years!

I guess it could be served as a cautionary tale, be careful what you say........


Now where can I get a flux capacitor for this Delorean I've just bought?

I laughed pretty hard when Phil laid out this cheese ball: "Don't underestimate the kid. You're fucking crazy if you do..and I am the kid".
