The chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission has called for the cancellation of a string of upcoming Australian shows by former Pantera frontman Philip Anselmo over his neo-Nazi and antisemitic sentiments.
metal community widely condemned Anselmo for his remarksAnselmo was questioned on MTV in 1994 about allegedly racist lyrics, and his reported refusal to condemn fans who shouted"white power" at Pantera gigs.A year later he supposedly criticised rap artists for"pissing all over white culture", while in 2015 said he regretted including the Confederate flag as part of the artwork on an album released by his band at the time, Superjoint Ritual.
Machine Head frontman Rob Flynn uploaded a video after the 2016 incident outlining his criticism of Anselmo. "It this was Chad from Nickelback, if this was Justin Bieber, if this was Tom Brady, if this was Lars f***ing Ulrich … heads would roll," he said.
