Friends of mine are friends with his family. His sister and knew his brother in high school before Katrina. Good friend met him at his sister's wedding a few years ago. Won't go into details, but it was some next level a-hole type shite. Also, supposedly double fisting newcastles.
Only interview I ever saw was of him after Dimebag shooting. Bitching about not being invited to funeral, but he understood. He was "clean" but he was "Elvis Clean" I guess. He had stopped heroin. But went on about starting heroin for his back pain. It is obvious in the interview that he was loaded. On the upper echelon of prescription opiates no doubt. Unless he made a 180 since that interview, I am shocked he is still alive.
The interview itself was just loaded, grandiose, indignant blather. In that moment looked like a guy ripe for full relapse.

He's had back surgery since then and got off opiates. He still smoked weed and drank constantly. He claims to have stopped drinking this year after the white power incident. When I saw him a few months ago he looked fairly clean.

It isn't appropriate for me to give the details in as public of a forum as this. I would say it if we were in person. My friend didn't even do more than say hello to him really, if even that. If it was something like that then I would just say it. You can be assured if you choose to believe me that it was pretty shocking a-hole behavior. Not he should go to jail type behavior, but still, I wouldn't forgive him if it were me. I think what it comes down to is that he still, at the time at least, had bad addiction problems, but that excuse only goes so far.

Judging from the video posted compared to older interviews, he seems that he is at least close to a 180 turnaround. I believe Peazey, as I don't see any reason you would make something like hat up. He still seems to have that rock star arrogance, even in that interview. I'm not saying that I want to hang out with the guy, just that he is a very captivating interviewee, and a lot of what he says is interesting to me. Just had a friend OD and die yesterday.

I'm one of the biggest Phil fans (musically) you'd ever meet, but I can't stand to hear him talk. In my 20+ years as his fan, I have never made it through a whole interview.

Saw him a few weeks back at the SJ release and talked with him. He's a different person now and I was pretty shocked. He lost weight, sounded better, and was much more coherent. He was real bad about trading one addiction for another and his compromise of just beer and weed didn't work. The man wasn't scared to hammer back the beers 24/7. He seemed very humbled and I think he accepted that he just can't do shite in moderation anymore.

A very common story with addicts and/or alcoholics trying to get their lives in order. Glad to hear that he may be on the right track. Or at least pointed in that direction.
To hear the story of his friend ODing in the back seat of the car sent chills up my spine. I was involved in a very similar incident. When you discover the hard drugs at first and feel like you "got them all under control" - something like that will bitch slap a dose of reality on you real quick. Like a sucker punch from Mike Tyson in his prime.
I've even read from some posters on here - the young, cocky, 20 somethings who will pound their fists and laugh at the warnings of heroin or cocaine. At which I say, go for it. Do it for a few years and report back what happened along the way. Those drugs are bad news. You want to smoke weed? I'm good with that. But realize that if you decide to stray off to "bigger and better drugs", you're gonna have to put the big boy pants on and you're basically playing with a loaded gun at that point.

Phil is insufferable. Go listen to interviews from the early 90's, and compare them to more recent ones. Dude absolutely fricked himself up with heroine and acid.
What I like about Phil is he's the ultimate anti-mainstream front man, and he does speak from the heart.
BTW, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was the best player that ever picked up an electric guitar.

I was a Pantera fan way back when, but he's always been a stereotypical rock 'burn the candle at both ends' dumb arse.
