My buddy and I waited until about 3am after a Down show in Detroit to meet Phil. It was a polar hellscape outside like it’s doing now in the U.S. so we we’re freezing but knew if we held out he would have to come out the only door between the venue and his bus. Around 3am, he struts out with a huge smile on his face and was just an awesome dude. We talked Down, Pantera and shitty weather…took some great photos and “manly” hugs all around. Great guy.

Thanks for starting this tonight…I’m going to go dig up my photos and call my old buddy about it now.
