MetalHammer.com Download Festival 2013 is finally just around the corner, so we’re grabbing some of the biggest and best bands from this year’s lineup to throw some irreverent bollocks at. Not literally. That’d be insane. Today, we chat to Phil Anselmo from Down. We don’t even know why we said “from Down”. It’s Phil fucken’ Anselmo. Fuck! Hi, Phil! How many times have you been to Donington? I have no clue. Two to three times? What’s your favourite Donington memory? Right off the bat, I’d say inviting Ghost onstage with Down to jam the end of Bury Me In Smoke! What are you most looking forward to about playing this year? Doing a good gig, seeing old friends, swilling with the mobs. Which bands on the bill are you most excited about? Well, it’d be unfair to single out a handful of bands because I’m friends with a good majority of them, so I’ll keep this answer pretty stagnant. Besides, we’re only there one day, sadly! What can we expect from your set? Probably a new song or two off the last EP, plus all the old “hits” that have made us the best-dressed band in Hollywood…. cough-cough… What’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen at a festival? My reflection in the mirror… fucking horrible sight! If you could only pack five things to take with you, what would they be ? A good book, some reading glasses, a shitload of cigarettes, a horse-drawn wagon full of good beer and a copy of “Boxing News” magazine (the BEST Boxing mag in the world, British-grown). Download 2013 takes place June 14-16. Grab your tickets now
