The 20th-anniversary reissue of “Far Beyond Driven”, which still stands as the heaviest LP to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, was made available in 2014. Singer Philip Anselmo told TV Rock Live about the chart achievement: “I don’t think any of us had any idea at all that we would have a No. 1 record or anything like that. As a matter of fact, when I was first told about it, I didn’t even believe it. My dad told me. ‘Hey, son, your record’s No. 1.’ I was, like, ‘You’re drunk.’ But then I found out later, of course, it was true.”

PANTERA singer Philip Anselmo told ARTISTdirect.com about the making of “Far Beyond Driven”: “I think, at that time, we were all very much on the same page, so to speak.

“PANTERA had a lot of success before I was in the band. When I first joined the band, I was singing fucking tracks on ‘Power Metal’ after two weeks of being with them. Then, we wrote ‘Cowboys From Hell’ all throughout the rest of 1987 and 1988. We had been playing those songs live. We had been through a lot up to the point as far as personalities go and getting to know each other.

“Becoming a trusted member and true singer for this band was a process to where I didn’t have the rest of the band peeking over my shoulder like, ‘What are you writing about?’ By the time I got to ‘Far Beyond Driven’, it was, ‘I’m going to write what the fuck I’m going to write.’ So, I was very comfortable at the time. I guess the rest of the guys were like, ‘Leave Phil alone. Let him do his job.’ (Laughs) It felt so fucking natural.”
