Phil learning the whole Slayer setlist in a couple of days and nailing it on stage was hella impressive
To be fair slayers riffs aren’t that hard to play but still.... it’s impressive
Edit: YALL NEED TO RELAX I DIDNT SAY HE WASNT GOOD 😹😹😹
I saw them when he played with them the first night in Copenhagen
@@vloneguapo541 LOL lets hear you play them
@@robocop2283 bet he's one of those guys hahaha, maaaaybe they're not that complex, but hell, they require a lot of fucking stamina to execute them well with fking pawaaar
@Zando Zan funny thing is i can play slayer lol
Seen Machine Head in Manchester. Phil had just lost his father that day. He still came out to play as he didn't want to let us down. Was an amazing gig and was recorded for the live album. I'll never forget the gig but will remember Phil carrying on for us. Respect and thank you. 44 years a metal head and that commitment will never be forgotten. Thank you Phil. To you and metal hards everywhere.... Be safe and take care. WE ARE LEGION 🤘
Thanks for your comment ...
Great Phil Demmel, my favorite Thrash metal guitarrist. i love his style, so agressive and clear at same time. Thanx for your music Phil
Can't believe he names Criss Oliva as an influence. Love Savatage.
Yeah, that was pretty awesome.
Surprised he mentioned Criss Oliva...Phil seems like a good guy!So many great musicians came from the bay area!
Such an underrated musician, he's very talented
And he can fucking shred! His solos on Eternal Nightmare, Oppressing the Masses, The Blackening & The Locust all rip!
Agreed, bad ass.
And such a cool dude too. Always been really normal. If that makes sense. Like you be like hey man and be like hey and you realize after isnt that some guy from some flash bands and all that.
Seemed just like someone I knew...
One of the boys!!!
Phil and Gary Holt need to team up on a project at some point.
No shit right.
That would be epic!
Or Lee Atlus!
❤❤❤❤ yes!!!!
Vio-lence > Machine head
THAT GUITAR THO !!! HOLY SHIT !!!
Tony Iommi should get a lot more credit as a lead player. As classic as his riffs were, he was also no slouch when it comes to lead guitar and could rip with the best of them!
This! I once saw a guy on a forum describe his solo in Computer God as "dangerous". Iommi's got some great leads.
Phil is a kick ass player! Very cool he mentioned Criss Oliva and Savatage.
One of the greatest thrashers in the game. His work in Vio-Lence is criminally underrated.
I love them, they are just relentless speed, wish they never broke up
Great to hear Savatage getting some love! Criss Oliva was a phenomenal guitarist.
The riffs on Violence albums are just so freaking awesome.
Vio-lence was my favorite band as a teen. Them and Dark Angel. Still my favorite metal riffs to this day.
dude you just named my two favourite thrash bands
Phobophobia is loaded with amazing riffs
Vio-lence has a rehearsal studio two rooms next to my bands, and I have to say it's always awesome to hear them practice, and play, except when we're about to record vocals hahaha
Awesome dudes, love talking to them out back. All of them are genuinely nice people.
So glad Vio-Lence are back. Dig the new tune Upon Their Cross. Can't wait for the new EP to be released. 🤘
SO GLAD SENSEI DEMMEL joined forces with GUSTAFSON&WOLBERS to form THE GREATEST VIO-LENCE lineup ever.
The new Album will be their fiercest,most savage METAL possible.
LET THE WORLD BURN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼🇧🇷🏴
09:18 - Laughs in Municipal Waste.
Breathe Grease!
Thrashing is my business... of s/t ep
So cool of you to shout out Criss Oliva - I loved that guy's playing. HOTMK is one of my favorite records from that era.
As soon as Phil played that Savatage riff (before he even said it) I went "Oh sh%&, that's where he got the octave riffing from." It's funny how I've listened to both bands for 25 some years (Edit: oh hell, 30 years. that 5 extra years makes me feel really old now) and I needed to hear Phil play that riff for it to click.
Alexi Laiho favourite riffs next!!
Sirens and The Dungeons are Calling....2 Best Savatage releases!!!...🤙😎🤘
They have so many great albums.
I love that someone of Phil's level still does the "no wait..." and "was that it...?" makes me feel much better about myself. lol
I absolutely adore his riffing on Eternal Nightmare. That is an unquestionable masterpiece of thrash to me....
My favorite thing about this video is how it feels like a conversation. I usually sit around with friends and we do the same kind of stuff: talking about riffs and bands and teaching each other some licks. You can even hear the pick hitting the strings. Phil's skills and riff library are very impressive. He covered a wide range of rock/metal playing in a few minutes. You can really tell he knows his stuff. Excellent player and seems like a chill out dude.
That riff from Serial Killer is so brutal!
Love that you referenced Savatage. Chris has always been a big influence.
Great segment.
FYI Bobby Gustafson (Overkill) is now playing in Violence
He's one hell of a guitar player! But i can't resist to remark how glad i am that he didn't collapse xD
Eternal nightmare to this day is a masterclass in well thought out , technical ,tight thrash metal.
Never bettered.
Always got time for Phil!! I don't think it's a coincidence my favourite MH era is when he was most prominent. Amazing writer, player and such a stand up bloke!
Fun fact the tapping part of flying high again was something George lynch showed randy backstage at a show, George said it was something he used as a warmup
I was at that day on the green. Diary of a madman wasn't out yet, and I remember Ozzy introducing the song believer. I will never forget Randy starting to play that intro riff.
Vio-lence rules
He's envisioning Robb Flynn's neck in that center thumbnail image...
I love his Rhodes guitar . I've wanted one all of my life
He was the melody of machine head! 💞
I kind of like this series!! Who's next??
You Deicide
@@kotanovakota haha, saw what you did there!
@@kotanovakota Epic Rab Battles of HISTORYRYY!!!
@@zedteaster5899 Epic Rock Battle in History?
@@zedteaster5899 Rab = arab? Lol
that first riff he wrote has a really strong Jag Panzer, or general early US power metal vibe, the Queensryche influence was apparent
"you felt when Angus was drunk"
Angus was a teetotaler lol
He became one but the early days they were all partying hard mate
You beat me to it! I was thinking the exact same thing.
Is
Didn't know obviously! Won't ever say that again!
I didn't even know he'd bailed from M.H. He's a very talented player with a fantastic sound and great influences. Above all, a genuine personality which counts for loads in the daft world of music. Good luck to him, I hope all his future ventures are fruitful and he enjoys every minute along the way.
I remember when I first heard the solo for halo and being impressed by how good it was! Made it even more special when I saw machine head live and Phil fainted doing it, I remember thinking that must be one hell of a solo to do if even he passed out doing it ( I know he has a condition)
I remember seeing Overkill 4 years back, didn't have an overkill shirt yet so I wore my Eternal Nightmare shirt, during the meet and greets all D.D. did was start talking old stories of touring with you guys in Violence. Great fucking show that night.
Vio-Lence greatest thrash band. Thank you for bringing it back!
Saw this man ripping for overkill this year. What a beast of a guitar player.
I caught him in Overkill and Vio-Lence this year. Thrash revival FTW.
Love the old skool reference to the tape deck/boom box. Epic days...good times
3 cheers, and clank your beers to the most genuine dude in metal. Riffs for days!
Hell yeah
Savatage was freaking great🤘🤘
Good that he got away from psycho Rob Flynn
Kill on command is such a Thrash masterpiece, that tune is on my top 10 best metal songs of all time
SOULJAHZ ROCKERZ RIFFAGE....
This is one of the best videos of this serie. Great talk, great riffs.
I used to dub in drums from a cheap assed electronic keyboard to a dual cassette recorder. By the time i had all the tracked dubbed in, the batteries had progressively worn. So when i put fresh batteries in. The tracks started off fine, but towards the end, pitch and tempo turned insanely speed metal. after 3 dubbings the drums sounded like shit. After using the distortion box for distortion and preamp on the rhythm guitar track it sucked those batteries dead like a starvin necro-ho. But atleast when it started running dead, id just run preamp. It was naturally distorted at that point. After that. I could finally try to play a lead to it all...FUCK THAT SHIT.
So many stumbling blocks trying to form a band. Never could find anyone that would actually practice, or show up sober enuff for band practice. Didnt matter, theyd quit anyways...before they even started. Fuckin drag. I finally gave up. Got a job. Cut my hair. Got fat bald almost married. Paternity suits say I didnt. And here I am...considering giving it another go with a few variations this time. I'll do my own shit, with my own shit, on real recording shit, by myself.
Close to same with you but look at one man bands like one I can think of now is Sophicide and it's amazing I just make some riffs post it on TH-cam as DISOWNED BLOOD and rarely get views but at least my guitar playing is out there on TH-cam don't give up I'm 34 never been married don't even have a driver liscence still and music and playing music is really the only fun and happiness I have in life so don't give up I won't
Machine Head/Violence/Forbidden🤘
Forbidden really??? Slayer for few amazing shows yes!
Wasn’t in forbidden
Robb was in Forbidden, not Phil
Wow Phil looking thin, and grey. All my childhood icons are getting up there. Making me almost 45....now I feel OLD!!! AHHH!!!
Hearing him say “Phil from Vio-Lence” and not “Phil from Machine Head” makes me so indescribably happy
🤣😂
Me too, Buddy!!!!!!
Dude you are awesome 🤘 🤘 🤘 you were the best part of machine head
Phil has great taste in music...Kiss, AC/DC, Nugent, Aerosmith, Savatage...Great player...
Synyste Gates from A7X or Kerry King from Slayer (if possible) for the next Gear Factor
Ewww Gates.... Modern Indie Metal
@@fendi-bull8167 whats wrong with Gates?
@@darthrevin8230 I like gates and a7x. Just portraying stereotype about Avenged Sevenfold not a metal band. Which they are. I love the music.
Anyone else think he looks like Josh Brolin ? Lol
Man Phil has good taste...favourite band LAAZ ROCKIT...excellent band
The van halen riff that he plays at 1:57 is from what song?
You Really Got Me
I rank Phil as the 3rd best thrash metal rhythm player ever
Phil....loved Vio lence.....HEAD.....the blackening......only second to .....puppets......in my opinion......
Criss Oliva!!! I made a compilation vid about his trademark riffs,check it out if you have some time.Now Phil has some special place in my heart.
MACHINE HEADS LOSS LETTING THIS MAN GO...and what are the head now,rob flynn and some session musicians...
His riffs are legendary and his resume is impressive. He’s the Swiss Army Knife of metal guitarists.
So is Vio-lence back together again? I saw then like 5 or 6 times back in the day.
They've been playing shows all last year. Saw them here in Mesa, AZ. One kick ass show. Everyone forgot about sacred reich after Vio played
Nice to see Phil doing well !! being a similar age i can totally relate to the influences . was gonna see Violence at Bloodstock in August . Covid postponed it though . fucker !! next year ,
Omg, phil do Not felt down in the Video :0
Great guitarist, too bad Robb became an egomaniac.
Phil and Vio-lence created some of the best thrash riffs ever written. I don't believe 30 years from now kids will care about re-discovering Machine Head. While I like a few songs, its ultimately commercial and inauthentic. Vio-lence on the other hand...35 years later, no touring or new material for decades, and you've still got young metalheads everywhere from Bogota to Jakarta rediscovering Violence for the first time and getting addicted. The energy and angst on those records is timeless.
I can't find that song He's talking about, answer the phone?
I always thumbs down portrait filmed vids but, it’s Phil Demmel. So it gets a pass.
Randy Rhoads Carl Sandoval Flying V polka dot... Nice
It's cool to see that he's still really excited to jam the riffs he grew up on.
Nice work man, come back to NZ, love watching you play ❤
Demmel is so BADASS 🤘 I remember hearing Vio-lence for the first time and got addicted it stayed in my cassette player in my truck for months and it got to the point where the tape wore out and it got eaten.😆🤘
Kids today don't know the pain of seeing your favorite tape turn into plastic spaghetti.
That "Back to you" song sounds cool but i can't seem to find it, anyone?
Phil, you gotta record landscape!!! LOL
I go to Phil’s bar in Dublin ca!!! The Back Lounge
Wow! Great call out to a great early Savatage song!
Watched in support. From the comments you definitely have the respect you deserve. They seem to really like youl. Thats great. I don't know you but I like the way you play. Very entertaining. liked a lot. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
He's one of the coolest guys in music.
Everyone else got chips on their shoulders.
Vio - lence for life. One of my top 3 thrash bands for sure. The riff from "Colour of life" is one their best riffs ever and it's a great track, underrared for sure. Phil and guys stay strong and healthy. Greece awaits. \m/
Ήρθε η ώρα
angus Young was what made me wanna play guitar too \../
Phil gets it... He is a great guitarist and writer.
He looks like a funko pop
That is an EPIC guitar lol 👍👍
Vio-lence and Lääz Rockit, if you haven't listened to them yet, *GO LISTEN TO THEM.*
i love the way phil talks with his axe
Does he use a .0001 mm pick?
Never listened to much Phil, I just know his signature guitars but I gotta correct him that every Savatage album is super cool.
Phil is sooo cool, Great guy down to earth and a AWESOME Musician !!.. Really looking foreword to seeing him in Cleveland (OH) again soon.
Kudos! you mention Laaz Rockit!! Fire in the hole was my favourite track. For those who don’t know google it.
Huh, weird. I used to play shows with Phil in Central California and the Bay Area back in the mid 90’s. (His band and my band) Crazy.
Meet him 2013 in Germany Frankfurt on the Music Con. Great guy and it was very impressive to see this guy playing from 5 feet away.
