I never saw it that way at all. I couldn't honestly care about Phil now. After all the sh*t that happened when he left Pantera and seeing interviews with him afterwards he was the self-proclaimed saviour of Pantera. He was what made the band apparently (which in a sense was true, but they were looking for a change of direction before Phil joined them anyway). I just cannot see past his inflated ego to care about him anymore. Which is a shame because he was a great frontman when he was in Pantera.
I think (and hope) Vinnie will be okay. He always seemed to be the stronger of the brothers to me.
