Pantera frontman and current Down and Superjoint vocalist Phil Anselmo gave his first interview since Dimebash in January, when he made a Nazi salute and shouted "White Power," a slogan of the white supremacist movement . Speaking to Decibel magazine, Anselmo once again denied being racist, but took responsibility for what happened.
Check your statement:
“First and foremost, I take responsibility. I’m not dodging that. What I did was insulting, absolutely detestable because it really upset people, and it breaks my heart that anyone would think I am that dreaded ‘R’ word – racist. Anyone who knows me knows that’s just ridiculous. But if I offended my Jewish friends, people I work with, my colleagues, people in other bands… If I offended people in that way, that’s why I apologized. And that apology is there . And no, there won’t ever be another one.”
The vocalist also commented that it's "funny" that he's being accused of racism "considering I have a Mexican drummer and a half-black guitarist."
Once again, Anselmo justified the shout by saying he was drinking white wine backstage.
