What did he expect to happen? That the crowd would go, "wow, what a cool guy."

And a concert isn't a place where people can talk out their differences from 20 feet away. I mean I could see people being politely asked to move when smoking, or something, but he was just doing it to attract attention and cause something. I've also seen people get punished for moshing rudely, like not helping people up, and being assholes, shit some bands stop playing for. Which just pisses everyone off who was being respectful.

Reminded me of the mistake Lostpropests vocalist did. You can't make up for this with an apologetic facebook post. You can't get more disappointed than that either.

But you didn't see the full video. Someone in the audience randomly yelled at Phil and called him a racist, so Phil did the salute as a joke. He was being sarcastic.

Can someone please tell me the song playing the background when he's actually talking. I've been hearing it a lot in the videos and it's driving me crazy. It starts right at the beginning after the intro guitars.

Racism doesn't have a place in a modern society. Quite frankly, any sort of discrimination is outdated. And while I applaud him for apologizing and claiming it was a joke, I still don't see what motivated him to do the salute in the first place.

On the subject of Metal being inclusive: As inclusive as Metal is, there still seems to be a mentality that revolves around an Elitist mentality that is pressuring people to conform. I can remember a couple years ago after graduating High School that many of my Metal friends (not all of them) were in the scene and liked the music more as a Fraternity & not for the music itself. Some of these people gave me & others shit for being into Core bands or anything that wasn't Thrash, Death, Black Metal or Doom. I personally couldn't care less about that shit because its about the music being good no matter what it is. Not being apart of a club. According to many of those people I was never a true Metalhead. Even though I liked a lot of the bands they liked; I also liked a lot of the bands they hated. & they never tolerated it. Pretty stupid shit. Even after these people aren't in my life anymore, I still see Facebook posts every now & then that bash "false Metal." If members of the Metal community focused more on the music & not being apart of some Exclusive Group like a bunch of "Mean Girls" & Hipsters, then Metal would have a shot at producing many great bands again. Because if there is still an Elitist mentality, the genre/scene won't have any room to grow. As a consequence that isolation will force it to fade away when it never had to.

So the band that you were talking about Acrassicauda, released an album in April of this year.

What is the song at the introduction of the video please ?

The only thing I should point out though is that certain people may interpret the phrase "racism has no place in metal" the wrong way, thinking it implies that racism has a place elsewhere. I completely understand what you meant, just pointing out the amount of silly people out there who may not.

Is that a Mionix Naos mouse flashing in the background? I just treated myself to their Castor.

Acrassicauda are now in the US! They just released their first cd!

I don't disagree. This doesn't appear to be the first time Anselmo has spouted racist or homophobic bull, though. If I understand correctly, he would do similar things at Pantera shows. It doesn't seem uncommon to find racism and homophobia in the metal of the 80s and 90s. That Metallica thing really disappoints me. I adore them. Hetfield was my idol for a long time, though I have reservations about the guy now. (Hoping he's not gonna turn into Ted Nugent.)

Why credit for him apologising? He only did it because of it being filmed and the heat he's getting for it. You're using the term fucking up like he accidentally broke a vase or something. What he did starkly revealed a deep rooted way of thinking in his head. The apology doesn't exactly mean much after that.

Honestly I don't care if the bands I listen to are racist or homophobic or whatever. I'm bisexual, but I listen to bands based on their music not on their prejudices. It'd be better if they weren't prejudiced, sure, but honestly, what do I care. My favourite guitarist could be homophobic, he'd still be my favourite guitarist.

Hey man, as a mexican American who loves Metal i sincerely appreciate your message. However...the Phil thing...come on man, not an isolated incident his constant comments, yelling "White Power!!" At concerts, his little " You know what i really dont like about black people" speech at another concert, wearing a shirt bearing a modern swastika used by Neo-Nazi groups (during an MTV interview), him telling the guitarist from Machine Head he absolutely hated Machine Heads "Ni$#@r phase" don't ruin your message to make excuses for someone who clearly has a racist ideology and makes half assed apologies just because it will hurt his pockets. Saddens me even more knowing other members of Pantera were cool with this which is why i will never listen to their shit ever again.

So what was the racist part? when he saluted or when he said "white power"

Im wondering what your basing the statement "blacks could never contribute to White society" on? Seeing as you listen to Metal which evolved out of blues, and the god father of metal is a mixed race fella, without him metal would not exist, whats his name Jimi something? Then there is the simple matter of Roman and greek civilisations providing the basis for most white culture, seeing as your clearly an idiot, you probably dont know that much of the Roman culture, came from the greeks, and much of the Greek culture came from Egypt, while mine and your ancestors were building mud huts and working out which was the sharp end of a spear, they where building fucking Pyramids and charting the skies. Im sure your probably equally unaware that our number system and basis for science(even the word chemistry) evolved out of the Arabs and Moors> its not that White people should feel bad or guilty or black people are bad or should feel guilty, the fact is EVERY culture brings something to the table and in EVERY culture you have ignorant dick heads that give the other people from that race or culture a bad name, i think we have worked out you are maybe one of these people

Metal is supposed to be a genre for everyone, fat, thin, straight, gay, black, white, etc. But not just metal, this also applies to other genres, music should be shared, not kept to a selected group of people

Racism is not something that makes sense in metal. Racism requires a level of belief in authoritarianism. You have to accept the idea of a hierarchy as a moral state that is static by virtue of superficial traits. Metal is inherently anti-authoritarian, and loudly so.

It's not first time Anselmo has screamed his white pride racist bs at a show and not the first time he's apologized for it. If somebody keeps doing something, it generally means they're not sorry.

Yeah, when we start giving shit to Varg Vikernes and his beliefs, than we can have this talk. Varg has been way more vocal and way more extreme in his views while being a, frankly, larger and more influential part of metal than Phil. Personally, what Phil believes is his fucking business and no one else. This bullshit of complaining about what someone does on the basis of personal views is none of your fucking business, it's none of my fucking business, and making a song and dance about it is unnecessary. This "forcing people to admit to the crime of expression a fucking opinion that the majority doesn't hold" is the kind of shit SJWs do.

How would you feel if you'd have to record a band who randomly throws Nazi salutes and is known for assiociating heavily with the whole southern pride bs ? Would you be all "hey it's okay, long as you play" ? I don't think so. Appologizing like 10 year old without meaning it is not "pretty fucking cool". especially if you been doin' it for 20 years. It doesn't just matter "can you play" to me: if someone crosses the line and is blatantly affiliating with KKK on the regular, I couldn't give two fucks if he can play or not.

Ok Hitler

OR metal is nothing more than a genre of music (and more broadly, art) that, like any form of art, can be used express literally anything the artist wants - yes, even if you consider it hateful, yes, even if you consider it vile, yes, even if it shakes you to your very core. Art is not and _was never_ meant to be all sunshine and rainbows, otherwise every song in the world would be a vapid, soulless carbon copy of "Cumbaya" and you know it. I think bands that promote fascist or other such propaganda are conveying a stupid message, sure, but I'll never trample their absolute right (in the US, at least) to convey that stupid message through metal music. Saying shit like "metal isn't about that!" is just a No True Scotsman dodge, and if you truly want to combat those kinds of messages, you have precisely ONE option that will have any effect whatsoever: Don't support their music. That includes not supporting them monetarily, but more importantly not standing up on your soapbox and trying to shout them down/censor them. Censors are the useful idiots of provocateurs because taboo = attractive, no matter how much you wish it weren't so. TL;DR - I'm a massive fucking racist and me having an even remotely dissenting opinion means I support the Third Reich 2.0, or something. I'm sure that's all that virtue signaling retards walk away with when they read comments like mine, because muh emoshunz is more importent then reezon FUG U NAWZI 😭😭😭

to be honest, i could give a shit if a musician is racist or homophobic. all i can say is it's pretty idiotic to to show it in public since your goal as a musician should be to get as many people as possible to hear your music - it's like running a business. why limit your "customers"? but i'm not gonna be one of these people saying i can't listen to pantera the same or i am devastated to see hetfield and ulrich in that pose... they're not superheroes and i'm not 12. just because i like someone's music does not mean they should be expected to cater to a pretentious romanticized lifestyle. racism is everywhere.

The thing is, either you are racist or you are not racist. Apologizing for a nazi salute doesn't mean you are no longer a racist, it means you got caught out. I loved Pantera but I won't be buying any music from someone who judges people according to their skin colour.

I think it's a bit taking things easy to act like Anselmo did and just pull an excuse video after.. Probably because he saw danger in his business and profit (aka food). There are no excuses for this kind of behaviour, he just deserve to fall into ignorance and be forgotten by the metal community.

Jessie Marie you know what makes it hard to “come to together”?? Everything you just said. When I see things many things that Phil and others do that’s racially offensive to many, I’m allowed to feel whatever what I want. Having someone tell me basically “fuck your feelings” followed by “let’s be friends” I’m like 🧐🧐🤨🤨🤨 there will never be a full on race war because fortunately, there many white folks who don’t silence black folks when one of their “cousins” acts like an ass and vice versa. The problem are the ppl who want to tell me how to feel when the subject at hand has no real impact to them. I’d never tell a Jewish individual how to feel when someone says something derogatory about their beliefs or people.

I don't think its fair to even have the conversation "racism in metal" when mainstream hiphop has been racist since its inception, AND, anselmo's specific circumstance was that he was tired of people calling him a racist and skinhead because of the way he looks, so he did the salute to piss people off and it got out of hand. WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S THE MOTIVATION behind what he did is irrelevant. We have rappers with names like "ghostface killer" which is a racist name no matter how you slice it, and Wu tang gets mentioned on mainstream sources constantly. If its ok to be a racist rapper or rap group, then let the one or two out of every 1,000 metal bands that want to be racist alone and let them be racist too. Fair is fair. Its actually alot less common to see racism in metal than most other genres because metal is the genre of outcasts and outcasts know how it feels to be ostracized and tend to be accepting. With a few exceptions, metal is pretty much racism free, and the few examples of racist metal bands are already disavowed... again, UNLIKE IN HIPHOP which is more mainstream, and embraces their racist artists. So this shouldn't be a conversation. Not 4 years ago, and not today.

@@noodlehoppa7212 I am aware of the origin of the name, and no matter how you slice it, its a racist name. We have COUNTLESS examples of hip hop racism, and hip hop is mainstream. Hip hop's racism is universally accepted. And as an asian person, I'm sure you'll continue to experience racism until you start looking at yourself as a human being instead of a race modifier. And as far as you personally experiencing more racism in metal, you must have lived in the one area on the planet where racism in metal is tolerated, because I've been in the metal community since the early 80's and I know damn well that racism in metal is almost nonexistent. As a matter of fact, aside from a few racist bands over the decades, I've met maybe 25 fans in metal in my lifetime, that were racist. So maybe you're not getting friction because you're asian, maybe its because you're an asshole who is too busy identifying yourself as asian to make friends and enjoy yourself. Or maybe its all in your head. Who knows. But my original point stands, and you've only proven it more true. Especially since it can't be argued that hip hop tolerates racism in its ranks, and racist artists win awards, get radio play, etc. The reason I brought that conversation up is because THAT is a problem. There's not enough racism in metal for it to EVER be a problem. The metal community has always been accepting. Just because metal heads don't like YOU doesn't mean they're racist.
