10 Rock Bands That Have Terrible Frontmen

10. Pantera

The entire metal scene of the '90s owes Pantera a debt of gratitude for even coming into existence. For as much as the alternative revolution should have crushed any goodwill the genre had left, records like Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar Display of Power brought the heaviness back into rock and roll, complete with some of the most insane lead fills from Dimebag Darrell. Though Darrell was the nice guy everyone palled around with, the same couldn't be said for the frontman.

Granted, it's not like Phil Anselmo was looking to be a happy presence, with most of his live antics being centered around kids losing their minds and getting into serious altercations on more than a few occasions. When you actually look at how he comes off in interviews though, this isn't the same kind of amped up energy that you would get from your average metalhead.

Over the years, Phil has stirred up his fair share of dumb sh*t with the media, even going so far as to being called a racist after making a Nazi gesture during a tribute to Dimebag Darrell a few years back. Though the crux of the metal community is about headbangers coming together to have some fun, Anselmo just comes off as the school bully who wants to throw you against a locker and take all your lunch money.
