The Automatic Crowd Arty Shepherd and Ron Grimaldi

Arty and Ron explore the eclectic tastes and influences of Phil Anselmo in this very intimate interview with the man himself. Phil is a really nice guy who FUCKING LOVES METAL and he talks all about it. We also delve into his many injuries from thrashing on stage over the years, his addictions as well as racism. This was done last year in the basement of Saint Vitus Bar (so there is all sorts of refrigerator and ice machine noises). Enjoy and subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud. Thanks for listening.

Arty and Ron discuss life in the old NYHC scene with Javier Villegas, bass player, photographer and old school scenester who will see to this day out and about at NYC shows more often than not. We also touch upon Ron's sex life, ABCNORIO, Javier's travels and many other amazing factoids....
