This is the video side of Moe Train’s Tracks. It starts with the interviews: full conversations with the artists behind the songs, plus the short clips cut from those conversations, all from the Moe Train’s Tracks YouTube channel. First up: Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Down, backstage at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, in two full parts and six clips. Below the interviews sit the shelves: classic music videos, concert videos, and music film trailers, every one of them the official upload, embedded here and hosted by nobody but YouTube.

These are conversations, not question and answer sessions. Phil talks the way he talks, I talk the way I talk, and the camera stays out of the way. Watch the full interview below, or start with a clip and work your way in.

Backstage at Union Transfer in Philly with Phil Anselmo and The Illegals.

Phil has been playing Philadelphia since 1990, and he says so himself in the first minutes: "That's called history, Jack." From there it is the Pantera sound and the generation of bands building on it, then Walk Through Exits Only layer by layer, Marzi translating the vision on guitar, and "Music Media Is My Whore" cleared up once and for all.

Part 2 is Phil on Domination as a daily practice, ten years clean, the horror festival he runs and the films he wants people to see, two new songs that sound like nothing he has done before, and the autobiography he is writing at night.
