pantera call it a day[views:3537][posts:7]__________________________________________ [May 14,2003 10:20am - baneofexistence ""] Vocalist Phil Anselmo says that he is done with PANTERA and he intends to focus all his time and energy on SUPERJOINT RITUAL. "There was a lot of business with Warner Bros. and this and that DOWN and PANTERA and this and that, and etc. etc." Anselmo was quoted as saying by MetalIndex.com. "Whatever. Pretty much what I'm doing here is I'm sticking with SUPERJOINT, and I'm not doing fuckin' anything else. This is where I'm most comfortable and this it the type of music that I wanna do, you know?" Anselmo says that he is proud of what PANTERA achieved and is also proud that they pulled the plug rather than faded away. "If you think about it, PANTERA never went away until we personally said, 'Fuck it'." Asked if he sees patching up differences and rejoining DOWN or PANTERA, Anselmo said, "Never say never... [but] not right now." SUPERJOINT RITUAL's sophomore album, "A Lethal Dose Of American Hatred", is due on July 22 through Sanctuary Records. |

| ________________________________ [May 24,2003 3:00am - prozak ""] There will be a comeback tour. I'd like to see a Pantera, Six Feet Under and Cradle of Filth tour. Or rather, read about the comedy later. You could call it "Totally Generic Angry Metal Tour." |
