Hearing Anselmo rhapsodize about one Smiths song after another is a bit surreal.
What exactly do you find so objectionable in that video?
It would be nice for once if you actually contributed something worthwhile, instead of posting a video like that and expecting it to speak for itself.
If what Phil Anselmo said in that video is so horrifyingly unpleasant/racist, etc, how about you list a few reasons why so we'll know where you're coming from?
Posting videos/pictures/blanket statements might wash over on SLATUKIP where you're preaching to the choir, and are never challenged, but when you do it outside of your bubble you should expect people to want you to divulge slightly more than you're usually willing to.
anyone who thinks Phil is a racist is a moron. He had his issues with drugs in the past and said stupid shit onstage, he's from new Orleans and went through the whole rebel flag southern pride phase which people misinterpret as racist. He has stated numerous times how his favorite sport is boxing and how his favorite athletes are black. He recently interviewed 50 Cent for a music magazine. His band Down invited all their friends onstage at their show last summer in New Orleans which included several black people. 4 minutes into this video he addresses the racist "rumors" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmnHiQH91nI
Indeed he does. Not a nice person.
P.
Phil has said all sorts of dumb shit in the past, but he's also freely admitted being of his head on drugs and alcohol for a lot of that time. It would be nice if you think the guy is a racist to post a recent video of him talking shit, rather than one than one from nearly 20 years ago.
I love that Morrissey fans are condemning Phil for stupid things he has said considering Morrissey is the KING of saying the most idiotic retarded shit known to mankind...How many times has Morrissey been accused of racism over the years? Too many times to count
And? What is your point? I've been openly critical of Morrissey's comments on immigration, the UKIP, and race on this board before. So why can't I criticize Phil Anselmo as well? And to be quite frank Phil Anselmo's "white pride" speech is far worse than anything Morrissey has ever said on the subject--and I think his statements are a lot more abhorrent than many on here would care to admit.
I never get this attempt to shut people up and silence people on here with "BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT MORRISSEY DID IT!" Am I Morrissey? Do I make his lips move? Are you five years old?
Well, in answer to the question of why respond with "Morrissey did it", there is also the question of what relevance Anselmo's rants have to this general posting. In other words, (your own initial word, in fact) "And?"
Saying that Morrissey has said stupid things has at least as much relevance as the initial posting of Anselmo's rant. Which may, in fact, be none, but at least it's a response of like to like.
