Down Frontman Phil Anselmo Comments On Upcoming Superbowl

posted Jan 26, 2010 at 8:48 PM by Diamond Oz. (61 Comments)

Phil Anselmo, the lead vocalist of heavy metal supergroup Down and former frontman of Pantera and Superjoint Ritual, has posted a message online expressing his delight that the New Orleans Saints will be playing at the Superbowl for the first time. Down has also made their song, "On March The Saints" available as a free download from their official website. Anselmo's message reads as follows:

"Unbelievable! We shocked the world! Congrats to our New Orleans Saints, the coaches, the staff, the general manager and the owners!!! Even before this season started, just looking at the roster, I had an insane feeling this year could be THE year! Everyone knows how powerful our offense is, but the defensive side of the ball is underrated!!! Look at the post-season stats!!!

"This has been, and will continue to be a season of destiny... there's just too many parallels to count here, but it all adds up: we have arrived! The Mighty NO Saints have cut the heads off two legends (Warner and Farve), now it's time to decapitate the third; one of our own hometown kids, Payton Manning. BRING IT BROTHER!!!!! WE'RE GOING TO THE F-ING SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!

"As for perfection in parallels, I can't think of any other words more suitable than...

"ON MARCH THE SAINTS!!!!!!!!"

What's Next?

pretty funny but at a meet and greet in vancouver on February 15 2009 long before the season started he was very adamant that the saints were going to the bowl.

Phil, you're one of my favorite vocalist ever, and On march the Saints is a kick a$$ song, but I'm a Colts fan so I'm aiming for those guys to give it to Brees and the Saints.

I don't really see how they shocked the world since a lot of folks had them in the Super Bowl, oops, I mean "The Big Game." But I'll be rooting for them. Don't think they stand a chance against Manning but I'll still be rooting for them.

U havent shocked the world yet phil, you still gotta win the damn thing first, and if it werent for 5 vikings mistakes, your team would have been on the golf coarse by now...best qb to ever play the game is peyton manning, not a colts fan, but thats just commnon knowledge

BlindGreed- Hey brother, I just read what Phil said and he did thank the players, but either way let's give the people of Louisiana their time to revel in their Saints making it to the Bowl, it certainly has been a long time coming.
I know you aren't a Down fan, but their first CD in 1995 is a picture disc of an aerial shot of the SuperDome. Phil and the boys have always supported their Saints, they are not band wagoners.

^^Yeah dude, turn overs killed em'. The Vikes had it there at the end too, right in field goal range and Favre throws an interception. Painful to watch.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!! It's been a long time coming. As much as the city is pulling for the Saints, the majority of the fans are realists. The Colts have a great team and we could loose to them. Wait a second..... that's not going to happen. Y'all might want to come to NOLA to watch the game. When we win... look out. The city went bonkers just winning last week! It's 5 years Post-K and the city could deserve nothing better than a super bowl win! Finally, I'm not sure the Colt's fans have as close of a bond with their team as we do (no offense to Colt's fans). Their winning the last few years kept us distracted from the misery that was and is Post-K. Sorry for the rant! GEAUX SAINTS!! Where ya at BlindGreed1!

I love how nobody is giving the Saints a chance! Well, what happened to the Pats? Anybody? I'm not saying we are going to win by 20 but, I am saying that we can win the game but, if we do, it will be no more than 6 points. ...any given Sunday anything can happen.

Valentine_no_more - Yep the Saints. It only took 43 years!

wilco - with all do respect my man.... I don't see a blow out but, if it is I'll be the first to apologize to you.

With his big ol' neck, Manning looks like a thumb w/a face....or a c0ck w/a toupee.....I was hoping Favre would get one more ring b4 his old a$$ retired (again) but the Vikes dropped the ball....literally. So GO SAINTS!!!

Reeper what s your problem...we all know its over hyped, commercials after every dead ball, terrible commercials, nauseating 6 hour pregame show...but its the championship game, even if you dont like sports its a reason to hang with your friends and familiy either for quality time or to get drunk....i hate reggie bush, not a colts fan but ill still end up watching it....
34-24 colts...manning can read a defense like no other qb ive seen, you could have 22 guys on defense, and find a way to win.....good luck though New Orleans

Yet again the Saints get blown off the table, and the odds are against them, well that's never happened before!...oh wait that's right. The Saints have been the dream team of the year, they had "no chance" when they played the Pats, they were playing against the odds against the Vikings, with a quarterback who could be my father (no disrespect, just saying). Once again I think it's time for the boys to pull through, make me some money, and give New Orleans the party it f***ing deserves!
