I love Phil Anselmo, the singer from Pantera, because he's awesome and totally badass, and he doesn't take ****!

His singing is always angry too. Always.

No, I do not. My favorite singer is Amy Lee, but there are a lot of things that I don't like about her from what I know about her. That's why I cringe whenever someone refers to her as a role model.

No, it's just something about her image. She seems genuinely nice, don't get me wrong. Consider me paranoid, but the image that she portrays is not one I would appreciate my children listening to. Call me superficial if you will. She's very attractive though...

Yup, Anderson Cooper because I think he's an awesome journalist, plus he travels around the world shedding light on stories that people otherwise would never hear of and Barack Obama for quite a few reasons.

I have yet to meet/see someone worthy of being called my idol. I appreciate different people for different reasons but that doesn't mean I model myself after someone. You lose individuality when you have an idol.

I didn't say I model myself after Phil Anselmo, I just like him a hell of a lot.

I think he's awesome, but I don't try to be like him.

I definitely have respect and admiration for certain people. There are also definitely people who have inspired me or fuelled my desire to succeed, but there hasn't been anyone I could call an idol. There is just no one I worship or want to be exactly like and I am guessing most people are the same way.

This man:



His determination is monumental and his resolve is unwavering. The only thing he wants is to be with his lover and will do anything he can to return her soul to her body. He stole the tribe's sacred sword, entered the Forbidden Lands (which is punishable by death), uses the Forbidden Spell and interacts with Dormin; a powerful deity that has the ability to manipulate the mortal world that the tribe trapped in order to keep Him at bay... just because his lover was sacrificed for the greater good of the tribe. He goes against the very will of the tribe and the rest of his family just for love.

What he goes through after learning from Dormin what he must do in order to give life back to Mono is nothing short of epic. He sacrifices everything. That is why he is my idol.

Your idol is a video game character?

Thats a bit odd, but, to each his own.

Cheers.

He's so messed up though from all the drugs. I;ve never seen an interview where Phil is completely open. His mind seems to be in the Metal mood 24/7. Always ready to get pissed off. I really want to see the man behind mask. He's completely honest and says things very well but I just miss that human touch in him.

It was a fun game, but honestly, the main character was an idiot. He allowed himself to be manipulated by an evil being so easily just for the sake of a women. If everyone acted with as little intelligence as him, the world would be much worse off.

Dormin was not evil. There is no way that can even be assumed or implied. All he was was a deity that was being trapped by the tribe in the Shrine of Worship. For all you know, the tribe themselves could be the "evil" ones... especially considering they sacrifice Mono because she has a "cursed fate" (and later their descendants sacrifice the horned children in ICO).

Little is explained in the games in reference to the intentions of Dormin and the tribe. You cannot just assume Dormin was "evil" and the tribe "good." And what is intelligence as related to love? Love removes all rationality from a person, yet is the most powerful emotion that can be manifested within a human being and do great things. If people acted more out of love and less with intelligence, I think the world would be a better place. Compassion and selflessness flow from love... you couldn't tell me that this would be a bad thing.

Roy Keane. Even as a Hammer's fan, he was always the hardest working, most inspiring, and most uncompromising player there was. Also, he had a psychotic streak that was bigger than mine. And the fact he has the desire for perfection so strong he recently stood down as manager of Sunderland as he felt he couldn't give 100% anymore.
