We didn't gel with Poison and the Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the best of the pop metal bands, but we never fit in with the hair metal stuff. We were never as hip as the Chili Peppers. We were in the middle.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.
We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.
With Pantera, we lived through so many trend-of-the-day situations - when grunge was huge, we were still a heavy metal band; when hip-hop started getting incorporated into metal, we stuck to our guns and remained a heavy metal band very purposefully.
We were perceived as a post-grunge band.
I've banged my head quite a bit. I liked Iron Maiden, Ozzy, AC/DC. And of course, Ratt and Poison.
When I was growing up I actually was into Bon Jovi!
I don't do drugs anymore... than, say, the average touring funk band.
Queen and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses - I had a huge rock-band mania. I play a little bit of drums.
We were lumped into the Lite Metal radio bands.
