(Metal Hammer) Phil Anselmo says there is "no greater truth-teller" than Morrissey. The Superjoint and former Pantera vocalist praised the iconic singer for his honest songwriting during his time with The Smiths and in his solo career - and discusses how it's influenced his own work.

"I like honesty as a songwriter. I guess that's why I'm a Morrissey fan and a Smiths fan. There is no greater truth-teller than Morrissey." Read more here.
