Thanks, i'll be looking into it

I thought both Down and Superjoint albums were truly awful, but the chance to see Mr Anselmo - its worth enduring a Down set to experience



Title: Re: Down
Post by: R4tfink on April 15, 2006, 05:44:58 AM
I love him! :love:

The Down and Superjoint albums are so far away from Pantera its not even funny, however, what would be the point in having side projects playing exactly the same as your main band?

I dont like them as much as Pantera but i can certainly listen to it and enjoy them on there own level.

And to see Phil live? Well, cant get much better!



Title: Re: Down
Post by: Izzy on April 15, 2006, 10:37:28 AM

The Down and Superjoint albums are so far away from Pantera its not even funny,

Certainly in terms of quality, the riffs on the first Down album sound like the kind of stuff a guy learning the guitar would come up with - then u see Anselmo is credited as playing guitar on the album, case closed.

Post by: R4tfink on May 25, 2006, 07:08:12 AM
Last night was the pinnacle of my gig watching career. Fucking A!

I arrived at Rock City to see a queue of about 100 people waiting in line to get tickets from the box office, i carried on walking and there was about 200 people queuing to get in. This was at 7:30pm.

Anyways, got into City at about 7:45pm and met my friend Eric who plays in Ape Of Death, a local band on the Nottingham Metal scene(www.myspace.com/apeofdeath (http://www.myspace.com/apeofdeath)).

I purchased myself a pint of Worthingtons creamflow and proceeded to hit the main area where the support act was just starting up.
Not an ordinary support act though. A collection of Stoner/Metal videos from the past. Metallica, Cro-Mags, Lynryrd Skyrnyrd, Queen, Kiss, Sabbath. All of these interjected with Down home video footage. Most of which with Kirk making a fool of himself. The best bit was when they had Ozzy's band in the hotel with the Down boys and they were throwing chairs out the hotel window into a river below, Mr Zakk Wylde then picked up the biggest plant pot and rubber plant you have seen. Unfortunately, he didnt throw it out the window.

Then at 9pm, it started to happen, the big screen showed the picture of Pepper, you all know the one, spliff in Mouth, in fact, its the same picture as the tour posted i linked to in the very first post.
The band then came out behind the screen and started jamming, no Phil yet, but the excitement and anticipation from the audience was amazing.
Then there he was, my vocalistic idol, on a stage, in Nottingham before my eyes. It seemed that i was not the only one with these views, the crowd went fucking ballistic!

On with the show then, and boy was it one hell of a show. The band themselves were so tight, so very tight, i havent heard a live sound like that for some time, everything was spot on, and Phils vocals? Fuck me, talk about Pipes, the guy can still do it. Whats more, he was enjoying every minute, laughing and joking with the band and the crowd, talking to the crowd as well. In times gone past he would of been talking AT the crowd, those days appear to have gone, he was sober,  he wasn't drinking from what i could see and he looked leaner and healthier than ever.
I cant remember the exact setlist as i have a memory like a goldfish, however, personal highlights....

Lifer - Which Phil dedicated to Dime and other all fallen allies.
New Orleans is a dying whore - The audience participation made this.
Temptations Wings - Cus i love that track anyway.
Jail - Testament to Phil's vocals on this track, fucking brilliant.
Stone The Crow - As part of the first of two encores.
Hail The Leaf - Last track of the night, bout 9-10 minutes long with Kirk and Pepper jamming for about 4 minutes and then giving their guitars to their techs to bust a few riffs.

All in all it was a truely awesome night, THE best gig i have ever witnessed and i really did not want them to stop playing.
All of the band were in good spirits, Rex didnt take the cigarette out of his mouth for the whole show, Pepper's and Kirk's guitar work was fucking awesome and Jimmy Bower on drums was spot on.
Phil's command of the crowd was something to behold as well.

The power of the riff compells me!

I urge any of you, with a passing interest in Stoner/Metal/Southern rock to go check Down out at one of their UK tour shows.
Buy, beg, or steel a ticket. Hell sleep with the bouncer at the club to get in.
Just go and see them.

Down, i salute you!

Pics to follow.......

Title: Re: Down
Post by: R4tfink on June 15, 2006, 07:34:00 AM
They fucking rule. Saw them at Rock City a couple of weeks ago as well.
Phil was pretty wasted, more stoned than anything i thought. His comment about waking up 5 minutes before the gig, taking a hit of weed and a shot of bacardi was classic.

Still performed though. Cant wait for the live DVD and the new album later in the year!

The power of the riff compells me! ;-)

DOWN ? the acclaimed New Orleans band featuring CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan, drummer Jimmy Bower (EYEHATEGOD, SUPERJOINT RITUAL guitarist), bassist Rex Brown (ex-PANTERA), guitarist Kirk Windstein (CROWBAR), and vocalist Philip Anselmo (SUPERJOINT RITUAL, ex-PANTERA) ? has confirmed rumors that it will tour North America in March as the opening act for HEAVEN AND HELL and MOT?RHEAD. DOWN will play a total of 10 shows as part of the package and will also perform four headlining gigs on the East Coast.

Post by: BLS-Pride on January 11, 2007, 05:16:53 PM
God damn thats a hell of a show. I read about this a few days ago before they confirmed it. Damn. I hope one of the four headline gigs is in NJ or NY. Motorhead will kill all ass and Heaven and Hell works for me.

DOWN Guitarist PEPPER KEENAN: 'We're Real Focused On Being Timeless' - Jan. 15, 2007
DOWN ? the acclaimed New Orleans band featuring CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan, drummer Jimmy Bower (EYEHATEGOD, SUPERJOINT RITUAL guitarist), bassist Rex Brown (ex-PANTERA), guitarist Kirk Windstein (CROWBAR), and vocalist Philip Anselmo (SUPERJOINT RITUAL, ex-PANTERA) ? is currently working on the material for its third album, tentatively due later in the year. "We're doing this one the way we did our first album, when we were 19 or 20 years old," Keenan explained to Revolver magazine (web site). "So we're jamming in a room, recording on a jam box, and then throwing them on the ProTools rig and building things from there."

According to Pepper, fans should not expect to hear nu-metal or anything trendy from the forthcoming CD. "You will never hear that type of shit from us," he explained. "We're real focused on being timeless."

DOWN's new album will be the first since Anselmo underwent back surgery in November 2005. "Me and Kirk drink a little bit here and there, but Phil, Rex Brown and Jimmy are completely sober," said Keenan. "I'm running every day. Everyone's exercising. Phil had that back surgery, so he's doing a lot of core strengthening in and around his spine, and he's doing great."

DOWN will tour North America in March as the opening act for HEAVEN AND HELL and (possibly) MOT?RHEAD. DOWN will play a total of 10 shows as part of the package and will also perform four headlining gigs on the East Coast.

DOWN's sophomore album, "Down II", was released in March 2002 on Elektra Records. The band headlined the second stage at the 2002 Ozzfest.

DOWN guitarist Pepper Keenan recently spoke to Chris Harris of MTV.com about the making of the New Orleans group's third full-length album, tentatively titled "Down III". Producer Warren Riker (CROWBAR, SUBLIME) has already signed on to helm the effort, for which the band has composed 18 tracks so far.

"[Frontman] Phil's [Anselmo, ex-PANTERA] really good at [lyrics]," Keenan said. "Several songs address [Hurricane] Katrina's aftermath and how life changes on you, man. We've got a lot of ammunition for this one, I'll put it that way ? a lot of things have not necessarily gone right for everybody these last couple of years. Everybody's just trying to stay positive. We're not writing Christian songs. These are still angry, frustrated songs."

One new track addresses the death of Anselmo's former PANTERA cohort, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, who was gunned down in 2004 while performing with DAMAGEPLAN in Columbus, Ohio. The guitarist was shot five times at point-blank range and died onstage.

"[Phil]'s got a lot of demons he needs to get off his chest," said Keenan. "This is gonna be a hard record for us to make because there's just a lot of emotional things going on. I think we'll all be better after we get this thing done. But Phil's got one beautiful song about Dime that really surprised me. When I heard it, I was pretty watery-eyed. Those [PANTERA days] were beautiful days for him. The whole song is pretty intense, and it's actually a heavy song. That's the wild thing about it ? it's not a ballad or anything."

DOWN plans to begin recording the album February 15. They'll take about a month off, first to tour Canada with HEAVEN AND HELL, then to play four headlining gigs between March 30 (Worcester, Massachusetts) and April 2 (Washington, D.C.).

After the tour wraps, DOWN will return to the studio to track the remainder of "Down III", which the guitarist said could be out by summer's end. "Once we get in the studio, we shouldn't be more than six, seven weeks," he said. "We've already spent all the time [writing it] ? we're just getting ready to bang the sh-- out."

Read the entire interview at MTV.com.


That Dime songs sounds like it could be an amazing tune. DOWN III is going to rip shit up.

sounds good...

I didnt like the last two offerings - all kinda sounded the same, Phil's vocals were very weak, he can growl and keep it melodic - he can just do better than he was showing. The riffs were very flat, I know they werent going to touch Pantera, but they werent even in the same league

Let's hope this is better...

I gotta tell you.. Down @ Tampere, Finland 2006 was one of the finest events I've been to.. It was so cool that they didn't have any opening acts, they showed a 1 h long video including some pretty legendary music videos from kiss,led  zeppelin, metallica etcetc and it also included some footage of the band drinking n shit.. before down opened their set they only played led zeppelin on back it was so cool that they like dedicated the show to them.. the show was a great performance, I was in the frontrow, it was great, fun, absolutely awesome night and the played a zeppelin cover too in the set.. dazed and confused.. i really liked the show it was like unique. if you like down I strongly recommend to go see them live  ;) : ok:

As I stated in the Sabbath thread, I have my tickets for the Toronto show. Down is the reason I bought the tickets to begin with. I have no interest in seeing any of the other two bands live. They have some great tunes, but ususally it wouldn't be something I'd pay to see.
Down is going to be fucking great, I know that much. Phil is one of the original "Kings Of Metal"

According to a posting at Megadeth.com, Anselmo has seen several doctors and is trying to get better but not able to sing again tonight. Therefore, MEGADETH's set will be from 7:40 p.m. to 8:40 p.m. and not starting at 8:00 p.m. as previously scheduled."

I went to see Down last friday (24/nov) in Hollywood. for first time, and I LOVED it. I've been a fan of Down at least for 8 to 9 years now, and it was a MUST for me.
I think there is no front man, singer like Phil Anselmo out there.

The WHOLE band sounded tight, awesome, their set list was incredible, I mean, I was blown away.  Anyway, I uploaded these pictures for those few fans out there. :beer:

 Update on 2009 plans...

Hello all you killer lovers of the riff, it's been a while since we spoke.

Down's been offered a great amount of festivals all over Europe this summer, so here we come!

We also have a couple of dates on our own with the mighty St Vitus!!!

We're in the final stages of the documentary and it should be out soon.

After the European festivals, we're planning one more run of select markets
in the states from August to September. Then we are headed back to the
studio for October through December to record what will eventually
become Down IV.

Get ready here it comes!

From:

The Down camp

pretty much my favorite band these days. they're supposed to release 4 EPs with different approaces and feels in the 2 upcoming years. unfortuneatly they're almost in the same league as axl when it comes to "postponing" releases.


first EP is now said to drop around july/august. can't wait. saw them last year, maybe the best show i've ever been to  :smoking:

It's a damn shame what happened to Pantera. One of the best live bands I've ever seen, but Down is no slouch.
