90S at 9 'Just Give Me Five Minutes Alone With Phil Anselmo'

Phil Anselmo and Pantera turned a threat into a song.

"5 Minutes Alone" is on Pantera's Far Beyond Driven album from 1994. It wasn't officially released as a single in the United States. Regardless it made an impression with fans and is considered one of their most popular songs. 

According to the album's publicity materials the song was inspired by a threat. While performing in San Diego a guy was heckling lead singer, Phil Anselmo, he got fed up and incited the crowd to jump on the guy. The guy sued, but it didn't end there. The guy's dad actually called Pantera's manager and said, "You just give me five minutes alone with that Phil Anselmo guy and I'll show him who's big daddy around here." Phil's response was, "You just give me five minutes with that cat's dad and I'll whoop his a--." And that's where that song came from.
