Got to see Down at a small club in Flint Michigan called "The Machine Shop". Place holds maybe 300 people. Think it was 2006. Rex from Pantera was still playing bass with Down back then. They tore the roof off the place. Great show.Phil had a total Spinal Tap moment though. They started the set and ripped through three songs nonstop. The place went crazy. Then Phil gets on the mic and yells "alright Grand Rapids!!!" ( we were actually in Flint). The place went quiet. A few people yelled "you're in Flint man! Phil then said. Oh....I'm sorry man...we've been on the road a long time.....and we've been smoking A LOT of weed.....The crowd then cheered loudly and they kicked into the next song. Ya gotta love heavy metal.....
LOL, yeah he likes to party pretty hard. I remember reading that the band members of Pantera were getting a bit frustrated with him.
