Talk:Phil Anselmo

message: Should Down be listed under the side projects tab or as its his current main band should it be moved in to its own section and expanded upon?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.34.242 (talk) 12:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Down as a side project 

message: I removed the short blurb claiming that Phil's voice has been damaged or weakened by chronic drug and alcohol abuse. This is unsubstantiated, uncited, and obviously one person's opinion. Clearly this isn't appropriate for an encyclopedic article. C'mon, you know you can't put this stuff in here.

thread_title:  Removal of unsubstantiated/inappropriate material 

message: I think it is possible to make this assertion about Anselmo and have it be relevant to the article, but it doesn't work as written. First, tone is unencyclopedic and POV. If you're going to make edits that are potentially inflammatory, you really have to do your homework and get this right. Beyond that, the lyrics mentioned are misquoted and, additionally, do not support the theory that Anselmo is a racist. I'm sure that there is evidence to that effect out there, but this is not a good example. Also, adequate sources would go a long way toward making this more palatable. Again, I'm not averse to this section being added in (the whole article needs a lot of work...let's be honest), but if you're going to court controversy, you really should take time to do some research and composition to get the facts straight and the tone right. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with. Happy editing. NObodyNOWHERE (talk) 06:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grindcore 

message: I think this needed cleaning up. The wording was pretty biased it seems, especially the Christ Inversion section. It almost seemed like an advertisement. I removed "On the band's MySpace page, they describe their sound as "the venomous vomit of Satan!" and cite Venom, Celtic Frost, and Satan as influences." as it doesn't seem to be significant or encyclopedic
Also, I think there should be more more verifiable sources in Defunct side projects If anyone ever has the time or resources, or is bored enough to do so Maelstromlusby (talk) 02:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

message: A pet rottweiler that died in 2009 should not be mentioned as early childhood, unless that dog had biblical longevity. Also, the source makes no mention of his father's restaurant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.13.15 (talk) 15:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

====The Satanic====
The Satanic was a death metal band that was active between 1993-1994, Their influences included Darkthrone, Beherit, & Blasphemy.

They only did 2 shows, the first one was with Apostasy and Hangnail and the second one was with Graveyard Rodeo. They recorded a demo in 1993 in a studio owned by Ryan Ahrens. Only a certain amount of copies were made, some went to the band, some went too a select few friends of the band, and another one was sent to a record company.

thread_title: The Satanic

message: It quite moving and touching the effort that users like Dr.Pinsky and FMSky are putting in this article on trying to smoothen or hide Anselmo's racist attitudes, even though there are videos from live concerts, interviews, "White Power" shouts in concerts, Hitler salute, Confederate flags to show the opposite. Arguing that some Pantera lyrics talk about "unity" because they say "f*ck all racial matters" at the same time he says in a concert in Canada that "it is a white thing" and some rap artists are "pissing over the white culture" seems quite reasonable though. Wow. Congratulations for failing to understand the most basic elements that identify someone with strong racists beliefs and what fighting racism is about.
EDIT: now Hey man im josh now joined this "hide the racism and try to make a lame balance" task force.

:Hello  I hope you understand how inappropriate it is to make personal attacks and accuse people of being racist for having a disagreement regarding content. I'd like to take this opportunity to point you towards assume good faith of fellow editors. I'd also like to mention, as I did on your talk page, the three revert rule regarding edit warring. 
:I'd argue it's relevant to leave the content in because it shows a shift in attitude. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:54, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey @Hey man im josh, I actually understand how it is inappropriate to assume that you are in good faith while absolutely ignore the importance on being fair on putting elements about such important social matters in a scale. It is a matter of values, of course; mine here in Europe maybe are not the same as yours in North America, but one thing is important to remark: racism is the almost the same, everywhere in the world. I didn't called you "racist", please be attentive to what was written to you; I affirmed that you joined a biased task force on behalf of a racist person, trying to balance the unbalanceable. Hence, I can't assume you are in plain good faith. In addition, lyrics written in the past indeed shows a shift in the attitude of today; to worse. Please, be reasonable.
