Phil, you are too Cool... When I was young I didn't know what to do with all my energy and I had a lot... I could have been U but with no direction, except for parting and chasing girls because that's what U did in the 70s/80s with no regret, and listened to those songs loud over and over with lp's stacked 4 high on the record player... those were the days, Dont stop Phil we love this ...

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Screw you guys for making me love Phil's demo's so much and then disappearing for so long;-) Seriously... miss Phil!

[@geetar82]

Much love to Phil here too man!! Much love to you and you vids too man!!

[@MusicMan642]

Woodeso's Guitar Mods it's what happens when ya have three kids and tour with Bon Jovi lol

[@GregsGarage]

Just listen to the war pigs demo once a week. Your desire for more Phil won't subside, but your mood will drastically improve.

[@m1lkb0y]

well howdy!

[@supersaltyseacow]

Intelligent response. Fuck you @Howard Dietz. Will be flagging your page for offensive comments.

[@philipgregorysougles1744]

This is unreal for a live band!! I still can't figure out how Phil manages to keep the tops of these guitars unharmed. With all that energy and craziness I'd expect 1000 nicks and scratches all over the tops of those vintage treasures!

[@13thdukeofwybourne]

I could listen to these guys in a loop for days. Love it. One of my top 5 things on KZbin easily. More please.

[@user-pi2xl4jw3e]

Phil is definitely one of those players that sounds 100 times better with a band behind him

[@iananderson12796]

Jerru I can't think of a musician that this wouldn't apply to tbh

[@darrinros1177]

Sometimes the bass player and drummer getting into the funk inspire us do to things we don't normally do. Take a chance because we know they got it

[@iananderson12796]

Darrin Ros good point

[@howarddietz4057]

my friend Micheal Z Martin is way better player. Check out his channel.

[@youremember40]

Siempre hay alguien mejor (o peor). A tu amigo le sucede lo mismo.

[@JPLD]

who ever mixed this is the best.

[@zackzack0815]

guitar is way loud though

[@RenanBeltrao]

everything is loud, which is great. guitars being a little louder is also great, leave the kitchen do the bed and the guitar rock out (unless you are not playing rock / its a bass or drum moment) perfect mix for rock.

[@knedy]

I really hope Santa gives your drummer the last piece of mustache he's missing. Merry Happy!!!

[@Rouwiinator]

My god those drums at war pigs sound fantastic.

[@eternalme1016]

PHILL and THE DRILLS........YOU'S GUY'S ARE ROCK - MONSTERS!!! My Hat's off to MATT AND DAN AS WELL AS PHILL, SUPER TIGHT BAND.........THANKS GUY'S FOR THE LOVE.........🎸💚

[@EsSchneitImSommer]

Missing the PX. I've been digging around and seeing videos I haven't seen yet, but still missing the fresh stuff. Thanks for the composition, and for letting us get to know PX in this format. IF ANYBODY can find out when he might be in the Nashville area again PLEASE find a way to let me know. I won't see BJ, but I'll pay to see the Drills or PX doing covers in a dive bar. Especially PX doing covers in a dive bar!!!

[@richardharrold9736]
