So when the fuck is Phil's auotbiography coming out?

[Izzy]

I remember reading about this a while ago. I just did a google search and everything is old. Anyone heard any more news about this? This is gonna rule

[metaljess]

I bet he sucks and backed out.

[Bodom J]

It would be a fun read. I'm more interested in him doing the audiobook version.

[Izzy]

I'm more interested in him doing the audiobook version.

800 hours for a 200 page book.

[monotheist]

Looking forward to Rex's more.

[Jebodiah]

Phil who?

[Mad Muir]

Phil Coffey

[Lazyfoot]

I'm sure he's just been busy with writing and recording the new Down and doing the housecore thing or whatever.
He's supposed to be working on his solo album too.

[Lazyfoot]

ohh and on top of all that fuck you izzy

[tomEtom]

Probably won't come out for 3 years. I'm not expecting this anytime soon. Down will do their thing, and sure he'll put out his solo record before the book.

[Izzy]

He's supposed to be working on his solo album too.

I was not aware of the existence of such a project. Details?

[Izzy]

Oh and fuck you too Lazyfoot!

Hellbound.ca: So the songs are all written for the solo record?

Anselmo: I'd been demoing, I guess about a year with this one kid on drums, just a local guy, a session guy. So I had, the basic skeletons for these songs sort of in place. You know, not married to one particular part or another. Then I did a whole lot of fine-tuning and I found a drummer that I wanted to jam with: the kid from WARBEAST (Joe Gonzalez), an excellent drummer, a great, great, great drummer. He does play thrash metal in WARBEAST but that doesn't limit him from all spectrums of heavy metal. He's very flexible and diverse, so it's awesome. I get the best of both hands and feet, if you will, out of a drummer.

Hellbound.ca: Will you be handling the rest of the parts of the album? Playing guitar, singing and playing bass as well?

Anselmo: I'd say about 99%, for sure. I might have a couple of guys do some leads. I'm nothing great at leads, I'm kind of creative with themes but as a lead guitar player I'm pretty God-awful! Depending on the music, you know, I'm thinking this particular project might call for someone with a little more lead guitar talent.

Hellbound.ca: It's nice to hear about a solo record coming out that's actually a solo record and not someone throwing their vocals over someone else's work.

Anselmo: Fuckin' A, man! Yeah, you know, the supergroup thing has been beaten to death in the ground. I didn't want to just assemble this band, another band again, ala SUPERJOINT, ala DOWN, ala something I've done before. So, like you said, total solo record. I wish I could play drums though, I tell you that! But this kid is fucking insanely good, I would never aspire to be as good as this kid. He's fucking pretty incredible.

Hellbound.ca: Any idea at this point when the album will be released?

Anselmo: See, I don't want to put a date on anything like that because there is still a lot of work to be done and then on top of that I got a lot of work in between which involves DOWN, which involves a lot of my bands here at Housecore [Records, Anselmo's record label].

[Mad Muir]

so basically nothing new

[tomEtom]

Phil has his moments on the guitar. He knows hooks. Some shit he did in Necrophaia I pretty tight, apparently he wrote 70-80% of the music. This has to be heavy IMO I can't see it being extremely heavy, but I'm guessing it'll be similar to what he and Iommi did.

[EvilisthenewGood]

So, that Gonzalez kid must give pretty good head.

[Izzy]

When was that interview held, Buck?

[buck satan]

A few months ago. He's currently rehearsing with a band so I guess he plans on doing a show soon.
