Yeah I have been a metalhead since the 80’s and you have to tolerate anywhere from casual racism to outright skinheads that are prominent in the metal scene. It sucks the soul out of something that could be beautiful. It’s hard for me sometimes to listen to certain bands after I hear about some of their views or comments.

As for Phil…I’m not convinced he wasn’t serious. Hey always came across to me as a whinny little douche bag. Those are the guys that usually make up the ranks of those that descend into racism because they always need someone to blame.
