[@Deltablues1001]

love that part in little wing where you can almost see the word 'loading...' appear in phils eyes! love this guy!

[@danieldeveau]

As usual, outstanding. And kudos to you Phil for not forgetting where you came from. Your integrity is beyond reproach.

[@Comp3630]

This guitar sounds so different and AMAZING with the band!

[@philx1111]

I have no secrets. that guitar sounded pretty thin with the band so I used a Tone Concepts Distillery pedal to fatten it up with awesome results. google that shit, yo.

[@ForViewingOnly]

philx1111 Hey Phil, what's your view on harmony pedals, and have you ever used one when playing the Highway Star solo live? Much love to you man.

[@Comp3630]

philx1111 Interesting, thanks.

[@tymo9890]

philx1111 yo phil could you post the mp3 of the highway star cover somewhere for download i really love your band parts in the videos lately, Keep up that awesome stuff

[@Worshipcaster]

philx1111 dude! that pedal! really does the trick

[@RoccoPezzin]

so freakin cool!!! that room at the atrium sounds perfect for drums, really nice sounding mix

[@MrEpsilonEagle]

It's my favorite show while eating lunch on friday!

[@MrEnoBeano]

That’s incredible how you play little wing. Just beautiful!

[@romfordmobbsy]

Phil's back! Rocking us like it's 2010!!! Yeah baby

[@kerryhudson53]

This guy gets the best tones out of everything he plays.

[@coconuthead1]

Another great vid Phil! Enjoyed much as I always do. And it was great to see the Lentz pop up! Myself a 1996 Lentz S owner and rocking it!

[@keithsa41]

Phil, you have a kick-ass band.. without a doubt, your band has something special going on.

[@OzziePete1]

I have a Strat that's a replica of that era of Strats. It was made in 1984. And it's in worse condition that this original! Excellent condition..... GREAT playing as always, Phil.

[@Theo-hc5ob]

That Strat looks like it just came out of the box. Gorgeous condition. Rock On, Phil!

[@LPFR52]

Oh my god, It's been a while since I've heard a guitar that has made me go "wow"

[@billyb440]

I think Canada should have a Phil X holiday as a mandatory holiday!!!!! Phil X for PM!!!!!

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

A full bloody minute of mind melting solo. I normally don't like shred metal sounding solo's, but this is incredible. On about my 20'th time through this one min! Hellz yeah Phil!! 11:00-12:00

[@АлександрКатугин-и3п]

Hey there! Your review guitars are the best! I'm from Russia very badly understand English. I write through the translator, I'm sorry for the mistakes. You're cool. You are the ROCK!

[@FelipeMartins-qi2og]

Man that was just amazing!! Phil X just the best guitar player ever. No jokes here man. I learned all I know from his videos and songs! Keep roking man! Cheers from Brazil!

[@teezzur]

Phil MUST be the child of Sammy Hagar!! Somehow - someway,... he's related! I would LOVE to see Phil play with Sammy's group... That would be AWESOME!

[@LaZicaJeOne]

thks phil (and band !) amazing performance like always…. we like that !!!!

[@mustangGT375]

Another awesome vid man!!! Love your energy, wish more guys show that much energy when playing. Keep it up dude!

[@SamSteincamp]

Man, They really got on this one posted late on Thursday!!! Great performance, though i'm not sure whats up with the headphones on everyone. Cool Guitar, Cool Video, Cool Dude. #philxfriday

[@philx1111]

thx for the cool comments. the headphones? we are actually in a studio. the only thing you can hear in that room are drums so without headphones or my in-ears, we wouldn't hear the guitar or bass amps which are in other isolated rooms.

[@gman6107]

love you guys playing together at the end... great sound and tight band

[@ela122860]

dude you crack me up and great chops too!

[@hugq14]

What a DP cover you guys did!!!!!!

[@Jkirk1988]

Dos Equis. Preceded by a Heineken commercial! Gotta love utoob

[@jaded777777]

i can't even watch the whole video because after about two and a half minutes, i just wanna go play guitar haha

[@Tychades]

aww yes, I was thinking please play the highway star riff and then you did it with the whole band. That was awesome

[@5150RDH]

Awesome demo of an awesome Strat :) Gotta love Phil X!

[@khurai111]

People don't know Rich recorded the whole Machine Head album on the VOX AC30 with a ES-335. The classis setup Marshall 500w + Strat was just his live rig until later...

[@chrishorton615]

Wow! I never knew that. He got that sound out of an AC30?

[@khurai111]

Chris Horton You can find his in the inner pics of the album cover. He also stated on an interview that he liked the AC30 best because it buzzes like hell. In these days he also used the little trick. Vox AC30's preamp to Marshall 500w's poweramp for volume.

[@bearbrook9]

hmmm maybe, but the guitar sounds more stratty than earlier DP and there are 2 shots of a strat in the jacket pix showing the sessions

[@khurai111]

Mike Bearbrook Maybe a strat but the common knowledge is ES-335. I have no idea how to prove it so leave it. Though it's a Vox AC for sure. You can't get that fuzzy sound out of a Marshall ;)

[@Sabres73]

I love Phil because he remembers that this is all supposed to be fun.

[@mattchurchill]

Another great vid! One of the best guitar players on the Tube in my opinion ;-)

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

Phil is a heavy handed mad man !

[@mostlypostie1]

Awesome shredding!

[@ketih13]

Love it!!!!!!! Always sounding awesome Phil!! Keep it up!!

[@PorchBass]

Loads of buzzing! Stratness! Phil x! Sweet!

[@KyleCarrington]

Gotta love single coils on high gain, so classic sounding

[@mateonorris5849]

Beautiful guitar! holy..

[@garyz2043]

It's mad how all guitars sound different,even the same guitars. They are like pets,some are better than others.I think they start life as pieces of wood with strings on,they have to be taught to sing and be musical instruments.More you make them sing,the better they sound! : }

[@DallasGarage]

I wonder how much that '59 with "Fuck off" under the neck is worth, haha

[@lstierney]

Loved the Highway Star mate

[@chrstphbch]

Wow, that Highway Star was amazing

[@rudyantobong9233]

Awesome the Drill ....

[@leeder92]

Loved mini Phil. 😉

[@vixenvendettaofficial]

Wow! Cool channel!!

[@Isaac_howell]

this guys like Steve Irwin for guitars

[@mrlimmysal]

Lol

[@NaturesChild]

Phil rock'n the John Lord pony tail! RIP JL

[@rhkiku]

Phil's face at 4:33 is priceless after he hits the wrong note hahahaha

[@shumansharman770]

My head blew during the twin solo. FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH (screaming)

[@chrishorton615]

I think Ritchie Blackmore also jumped his Marshall amp. from input 1 - input 2 for a darker sound too. Cheers :)

[@Bodyknowledge77]

The gentleman in the right corner of the screen ripping with Phil during the solo looked eerily familiar :-0 My mind at the end of the vid wanted Phil to go into the Arthur Brown "Fire" wail. The part where he goes "You're gonna burn burn..BURNNN!!!!

[@wewin03]

This guy is ludicrous good.

[@BasswipeNC]

He chickened out and didn't do "Child in Time". This dude can rock and really knows what a good song is.

[@LedZero84]

Dear Phil. I really like to watch your videos and the kind of rock attitude and fun you provide you. maybe you can throw in some little lessons into your guitar reviews. nothing big - maybe some of your signature licks, cause they are really amazing. I'd aprreciate that... thx

[@GravityBoy72]

Outstanding!

[@sidgar1]

Judging by the title, I thought this was just going another mindless shred-fest wall of noise. Was pleasantly surprised to actually hear "music" in this...well-played music. This guy's really talented!

[@wampumbiskit]

The guy almost got serious there for a minute...mwuhahaha.... Love ya man keep up the work.

[@WatchesnguitarsDK]

Wauw! That's just awesome!

[@jordanmarino7831]

What chords are those in that little funk progression when he's on Volume 4 after just switching to the Marshall at around 4:00 to 4:30 I love that sound

[@ascitiesburn672]

Phil X is my spirit animal. I wish I had his talent though.

[@jakefowler8522]

was watchin that solo and was suddenly like "how the fuck u getting that sound like theres 2 guitars??" then saw the second guitar in the bottom corner!!lol Phil X and the drills are great!!

[@IncredibleDog]

WOW! The solo from "Highway Star" sounds totally fucking great!

[@1dabirdman68]

Just.....Goddamn! Too much melt for my face!! PhilX is the fucking man!!

[@Sco3000]

Thanks Phil

[@warrenginmartini]

I'll take two of those!

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

God Highway Star is just one of the best songs ever written...

[@EvanTisby]

You should do Still of the night! i think you'd nail it!

[@Mangoddamn]

Wow super great !

[@MoPower2112]

please someone compile all the live performances and make a super long video!

[@davehendricks7023]

Was the song you were asking about at the beginning jungle boogy

[@florianwolf9380]

Absolutely fuckin’ awesome 😎! My favourite DP song - RIP John Lord.

[@steveperidotdragon4296]

Sweet Strat !!!

[@komuterak]

What is name of that awesome intro song?

[@Chuggsbigman]

Yes!!!! My favorite deep purple song!!!!!!

[@paulbch397]

The Drills is not the same band with a 2nd guitarist, but damn...your live recording Hack was soooo cool Phil ! And the Strat you used there rocks ! Really nice idea ;)

[@PinkFloydrulez]

can't argue with a strat neck on full blast

[@voskresene]

That thing looks like it's right out of the factory.

[@MrRoniArt]

This is one on my Top5. Never play speed king. Always Rockin Phill

[@kasnitch]

the strat is beautiful .... that performance was fucking awesome

[@LilBdarocker]

Hey phil , great video, what decade of strats do you like best? Keep up the good work!

[@dinosaurjesus2709]

Deep Purple - In Rock was recorded with an early 60's Gibson - ES 335

[@Cosmy88]

Awesome as usual! Any upcoming gigs with the drills? greetings from Italy!

[@KyleCarrington]

[@joshuacampbell3100]

Holly shit. That Highway Star was fucking amazing
