@@ILLRICARDO Like they said, in the end it was Robb's project band, not MH at all. They didn't have fun recording since The blackening, so that says it all Even Robb tracked all rhythm guitars recording so after some years it just happens, they are unhappy and fall apart on a personal level. The end is unavoidable...
Totally cool guy. I started following him on IG. Every so often he'll go live and pretty much answer any questions people have. At least once that I can remember people were spouting off different songs from different bands and if he knew em, he'd play em. Hope to meet him some time.
A real class guy, despite the differences with Robb he still wants the last thoughts to be all about the good times. He was also responsible of being apart of writting one of MH's most precious albums so yeah top man.
I mean, the entire technical thrash movement from 88-93 is generally criminally underrated - but considering more ordinary thrash, Oppressing is surely far too underrated! Officer Nice, Engulfed In Flames (the solos), I Profit, World In A World.. "bangers" all over the record that should be known classics to any fan of thrash metal!
@@Metalton95 Oh yeah. Coroner's No More Color & Mental Vortex, Dark Angel's Time Does Not Heal, Toxic, Watchtower, Mekong Delta, Hexenhaus, Obliveon. It goes on & on. All killer shit.
11.26 in the video - the song Phil is playing here, is that the fast song he wrote that was not used for Machine Head??? (too metal for them? Hehehe) ... that tune is GREAT, sounds like low tuned extreme thrash metal that is bordering on death metal at times, awesome, more tunes like that please!!! 🤘
Thanks so much for this great interview with Phil, I have been a fan of his music since the demo days of Vio-lence, I actually got their 2nd demo via mail order from Phil those days, one of my favourite (and HEAVIEST) recordings ever. 🤘
You know this cat is the shit if he learned all those slayer songs under that time frame and without his guitars etc. Sick!! Let me play in violence lol
Dude... And he had to traspose all of it in a different tuning while learning them overnight ! This was such a mad story !! Thanks for watching :) // Guillaume
What a legend and genuinely down to earth guy. The only thing I was curious about was him having collapsing episodes, or passing out episodes during MH shows. Some things are just personal I guess and I hope he's healthy.
To be completely honest I kind of went back and forth in my head before the interview trying to figure out if I should ask about this, but yeah in the end I didn't. He felt super chill and mentally in a really good place so I believe he is doing ok. Good point tho, and thanks for watching! // Guillaume
Hung out with Phil demmel in ft Wayne Indiana, when he played with overkill, awesome guy, hung out for about 10 min, to clarify,I seen him in the crowd, looking just like does in this interview
One of his big influences Criss Oliva also used Jacksons/Charvels back then.I also have one,believe or not its just the reverse headstock with that logo,there is smth haunting about that logo
@@JonSmith-fl8vx ur out of ur goddamn mind The burning Red, Burn my eyes,The more things change and the blackening and locust all the music in which is guitar and lyrics all wrote by Rob Flynn so ur statement is pure shit dude u ain't no fan dont speak on something u no shit about
He had zero influence on MH He played what he was told to play Do u people understand that Get it Got it Good That's why he left and Rod is tight and wants all the money ask Logan why he left 20 yrs ago. MONEY AND ITS ROBS WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.
I was at the two Vio shows in Oakland in April and at Alcatraz in Belgium,met Phil and the dudes..coolest down to earth guy you could ever meet! Back in April 2020!! Vio-Lence rule!!
Impressive he learned 19 slayer songs in 2 days and in the wrong tuning lol! That's impressive. I don't blame him for leaving machine head. I got nothing against them or rob great band. But Rob literally feels the need to be in everyones business and tell them what to do. That's not cool it should be a group effort.
@@giovannibalsamo6178 it would take me at least 3 weeks to learn 19 slayer songs. I put it to the test to see how many I could learn it two days I already know quite a few but I literally took the mindset slayer is asking me to fill in for Gary or kerry. And I got to 8 songs lol. Still super impressive. Slayer songs are no joke bro. I'm a guitarist myself and some of there songs are just a nightmare to learn postmortem war ensemble and Raining blood. Those 3 took me like 2 months to finally learn including the solos.
@@tylerdees4850 to me phil had just to learn repentless and some other most recent songs, no doubt to me that phil was able to play raining blood, south of haven, war ensemble, seasons in the abyss, hell awaits, angel of death etc... from decades
other manufacturers making rhoads shape guitars = jackson sues them on spot jackson copying explorer and les paul and even flying V in the past = it's everything fine
Great interview. Phil always comes across as a real good guy & is one of the great Thrash guitarists. Totally agree about his Machine Head comment. They made some truly astonishing songs together, there's too many to list. Top fella. 🤘
Guillaume seemed starstruck. Were you starstruck, Guillaume? I think you were starstruck, Guillaume. I've met Phil. He is FUN. His positive energy is contagious. Major talent. Glad he's even more spirited, and free to explore his options. Can't wait to see what he does with his career.
That's my secret... I'm always starstruck. (And kudos on spelling my name correctly 3 times in a row, this is a rare skill. Much respect.) Thanks for watching ! :) // Guiyom

Machine head lost its way, I'm happy that Phil left.
As much as I like the band, Robb must be unbearable to deal with.
Robb done lost his damn mind.
@@juanneman I agree , he seemed like a cool, down to earth guy back in the day, and now he seems like a egotistical control freak.

I always thought MH was an average band at best.
Phil seems like such a positive dude all around. So happy you got to sit down with him.
He is the chillest dude in thrash that's for sure ! :D Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it // Guillaume
Phil is cool as hell. Really chill and personable. I felt like I was talking to an old friend.
Totally cool guy. I started following him on IG. Every so often he'll go live and pretty much answer any questions people have. At least once that I can remember people were spouting off different songs from different bands and if he knew em, he'd play em. Hope to meet him some time.

Oppressing The Masses is probably the most underrated thrash records ever
Neth BT agreed! Still play it regularly!

Should listen to Demolition Hammer- Epidemic of Violence
@@Metalton95 Oh yeah. Coroner's No More Color & Mental Vortex, Dark Angel's Time Does Not Heal, Toxic, Watchtower, Mekong Delta, Hexenhaus, Obliveon. It goes on & on. All killer shit.
@@Neo-Midgar Music to my ears!
Funny ass story from the Omni. Im positive I was there but it was Alot of Beers ago ! Vio-lence top 3 Bay Area bands in my book!!!
Phil Demmel : class act
I bought my Jackson RR-1 because of Phil. Almost 30 years ago WTF. Underrated guitarist.
Please do another Technocracy - great music
so happy to hear that Sean is feeling better.

I was there at their comeback show, the energy was incredible. Long live Vio-lence!
Great interview and awesome riffin B roll 🤘🏽
Thanks buddy !:D // Guillaume
Wow, I really love Phil's new signature series.
11.26 in the video - the song Phil is playing here, is that the fast song he wrote that was not used for Machine Head??? (too metal for them? Hehehe) ... that tune is GREAT, sounds like low tuned extreme thrash metal that is bordering on death metal at times, awesome, more tunes like that please!!! 🤘
Personally Machine was awesome up until and including bloodstone, but by then their “shift” has begun
Definitely. Still remember hearing The Blackening for the first time thinking "farrrrrk" Unto The Locust was pretty killer too.
i just came here to say "my look is often a grin, cold as a sin, call me, call me call me MAD!"
Phil an Phil (anselmo) I don’t know why Anselmo don’t hook up with somebody like Demmel an make a fucking sick in your face metal record
The world ain't ready for this double dose of IN YOUR FACE Phils !!! // Guillaume
There is a danged hyphen in Vio-Lence. Someone needs fired for not knowing this! Arrgg!!
- Eternal Nightmare - ;)
Super cool that he described Journey and Foreigner as fun stuff!
Phil is great. Look forward to hearing new stuff from him
He absolutely is!
//cheers, Kris
I was at that last show of the tour in Helsinki 2007 and met Phil & co.
Lucky you !! :) // Guillaume
Genuinely a super nice dude.
Fuck yeah, Phil... Go Vegas Raiders!!
Phil is one of the coolest and nicest guys out there. Hope to see him on the road with Vio
Great shirt ! - The Baseball Furies from "The Warriors"
Phil has always been chill af.Vio-lence!
Phil deserves what he got now! a great musician
He most definitely is a great musician and an even greater dude! :) // Guillaume
Play some Oppressing the Masses man!
Thanks so much for this great interview with Phil, I have been a fan of his music since the demo days of Vio-lence, I actually got their 2nd demo via mail order from Phil those days, one of my favourite (and HEAVIEST) recordings ever. 🤘

That is my dream guitar, he nailed it.
Demmel = Vio-Lence and Vio-Lence is a fuckiing great band for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yo Phil saw you at a absolute music in Bournemouth UK in Sept.... "fuck yeah".. Lol

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses I don't blame you, some things are just private, and that's the way it should be.
I love this cat! Played a bunch of shows with him through the mid-90s. Always great to work with and party with. Now, not the party so much.
Hung out with Phil demmel in ft Wayne Indiana, when he played with overkill, awesome guy, hung out for about 10 min, to clarify,I seen him in the crowd, looking just like does in this interview
Cool fella, good thrash metal guitarist. Liked the Baseball Furies tshirt, but furies got their asses kicked by the Warriors :)
Full circle Vio-Lence/SLAYAAAARRRGGGHH story is epic. Funny how life throws you stuff like that.
Dude he is so under rated
One of his big influences Criss Oliva also used Jacksons/Charvels back then.I also have one,believe or not its just the reverse headstock with that logo,there is smth haunting about that logo
Nice to see some positive energy! I loved this interview, love Phils Music ... especially classic MH...man what a time!
VIO-LENCE, SMASHING YOUR TEETH OUT OF THEIR PLACE!!
That riff at 11:27 gets me every time
3 times i saw vio-lence back inda day really crazy
What tuning does he keep the white demolition furry in?
Vio-lence for ever and ever and ever !
When did Demmel play with Slayer. Can't believe that slid past my radar.
He did the late 2018 tour with them, stepping in for Gary Holt . // Guillaume
Greg Merritt it was a couple of shows when gary holt dad passed awAy
Thanks for the info. The context sounds like it added onto the pressure he described. Imagine he viewed it as the honor it is.
Bay area forever🏴☠️🏴☠️🎃🎃😎
Phil your amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wholesome interview!
i talked to Phil yesterday
One word...Vio-lence.
New Vio lence rules
Phil is AWESOME !
Bay Area Royalty
What the brand of level meter ? and How can i order? Thank you dude.
That guy interviewing should be interviewing anyone!! Clueless!
The charisma on Phil is great! I wish he didn’t leave MH cause he killed my like for the band now.. good luck in all the projects master!
He was nothing before Rob Flynn called and that's a fact.
Dave Jr what’s your point? He was nothing, but later he become someone, didn’t he?.. still MH is playing, nobody is indispensable in life!
And without his influence... Robb/machine head is nothing now for true fans of metal...
@@JonSmith-fl8vx ur out of ur goddamn mind The burning Red, Burn my eyes,The more things change and the blackening and locust all the music in which is guitar and lyrics all wrote by Rob Flynn so ur statement is pure shit dude u ain't no fan dont speak on something u no shit about
This guy is far too good for the shitty music Robb is producing now. RIP Machine Head.
He had zero influence on MH He played what he was told to play Do u people understand that Get it Got it Good That's why he left and Rod is tight and wants all the money ask Logan why he left 20 yrs ago. MONEY AND ITS ROBS WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.
More metal!🎸
I had no idea he was married to the keyboardist from Bleeding Through. She IS super hot. So is his playing, though. ;-)
It's a shame not to ever see this man blasting HALO, IMPERIUM or the solo from DARKNESS WITHIN for a long time or ever again in MH....
This guy is pretty kick ass. Good interview.
Great vibe, you can tell he's really happy. Good for him!
I've got machine heads drumkit that they used that time to tour Australia, hopefully I can get the next one after they tour as well!!!
RAAAAAAIDERRRRRRS!
I was at the two Vio shows in Oakland in April and at Alcatraz in Belgium,met Phil and the dudes..coolest down to earth guy you could ever meet! Back in April 2020!! Vio-Lence rule!!
That's a sick guitar.
Phil's guitar is a beast! // Guillaume
Great interview, thanks!
Thanks for watching Lukas ! :) // Guillaume
That black custom shop Jackson would be coo to have !!!
Mika Lagrén That's stock model not custom 😀
@@georgealcoba3514 ouhh then I need to find one.

But Rob literally feels the need to be in everyones business and tell them what to do. That's not cool it should be a group effort.
learning slayer songs it's walk in the park for a so expert guitar player.... he already knew how to play most of them BTW

Phil is a s nice as he seems,had the pleasure of meeting him at Gatwick on his way to London guitar clinic.. good luck Phil hard luck machine head...
other manufacturers making rhoads shape guitars = jackson sues them on spot

Phil is the man!!! VIO-LENCE!!!
Phil brought the shred to Machinehead. Can't wait to hear what he does next.
Love you Phil glad to see and to hear from you awesome 🤘 🤘
Badass guitar want the black
What a cool guy- I could listen to him just tell stories for a couple hours!
I won't tell anyone you teared up on stage telling your story...
Such a nice guy and great guitarist
Would like too see the baritone custom shop hung up in the back that Phil mentions to be put out to the public would get one for sure!
The dude is class act OGAF
Am I the only one who wanted to hear him play some Journey or Foreigner?
Love this man even more. Vio-Lence is awesome!
Phil Demmel was my hero in Machine Head since he joined and he still is my hero, can't wait to hear his new stuff
Phil is an absolute legend.
//Andy
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses btw where can I get that Demmelition guitar strap?
The only metal guy I know for a fact that uses his tone control is the dude from obituary and he only uses it by rolling it all the way off
Love 🤘❤🤘

Yes, yes! ....no....
Phil is so cool, loved the Halloween III reference !
