Reply to comment by SandmanAwaits in Bands that never changed vocalists by IR-Master

Could argue Pantera. They had something like five vocalists before Anselmo. One of them recorded three albums with them. They're unrecognisable compared to what was to become but they still exist.

I was always under the impression Anselmo was always their singer since their debut, yeah I’m aware that they had like 3 or 4 albums before Cowboys but yeah always thought it was Phil since 1981, gonna have a read now, cheers.

No prob. I mean personally I don't count anything they did pre-CFH anyway cos it's unlistenable garbage and the Abbott brothers were just teenagers obsessed with Kiss haha

When I saw Pantera in Australia in '01, Phil brought out the confederate flag and started going on about how it was the last thing white Americans had to hold on to, and that he would knock anyone's teeth out if they disagreed with him. It was a vulgar display of.... well, pitiful hatred.

Even having witnessed this first hand, his 80s hair metal phase is STILL the thing that I think he should be the most embarrassed about.

I remember when Pantera were in back in ‘93 or ‘94 & Powderfinger were the support act. 😂

Haha yep back when Powderfinger were like a shitty Aus version of Tool. Then they became a shitty Aus version of Powderfinger.

Don’t get me started about Powderfinger… I’m like the devil amongst all my friends who rate Powderfinger & Bernard.
