Philip "The Kid" Anselmo Offers Advice For Artists On The Rise!

If there is a man in Heavy Music that has seen it all, done it all, tasted it all... that man is Philip H. Anselmo from PANTERA, DOWN, SUPERJOINT RITUAL, etc. He recently sat down with FUSE and offered great advice for upcoming musicians!



So to sum up what Anselmo said above, follow all or at least some of the following steps in order to succeed:

- Rip off 20 to 30 bands whose music you identify with in order to find an original sound.
- Play as many gigs as you can in order to master your craft and connect with the audience.
- Gig for nearly nothing in return in order to pay your dues.
- Connect with your fans via the Internet.
