Geeked out and abducted Phil X: Joe Perry '59 Les Paul Standard

[@ascitiesburn672]

Phil, you never cease to amaze me. What a bomb ass cover. Your drummer is a machine.

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

I like the look of an old fender maple neck with a lifetime of wear throughout the entire fretboard. Phil could probably do that to a neck in about a week.

[@anchormanagement9017]

The live performance is insane. Mixed perfectly.

[@zeta-t4r]

This new format with The Drills playing a song at the end is simply awesome

[@mtl47]

what a save at the end of the jam! it's amazing to watch real musicians, who have chemistry, play together. it's like magic!

[@foadrightnow5725]

Fuck Yes! That's gotta be THE best live version of "Walk This Way" I've ever heard. And from a 3-piece no less! Phil really nailed all the solos and riffs; damn near note-for-note perfect. And it was just him playing all them thar parts. And the bass tone was smooth, low, and punchy. Just the way I like it! I swear these guys play live versions of songs better than the original artists do. Phil X and the guys ROCK!

[@jaydean6092]

+FOAD RIGHTNOW It would be cool if they released a live cover album!

[@phynx2006]

+FOAD RIGHTNOW I couldn't agree wit you more, you could say the Drills, drilled it :))

[@foadrightnow5725]

+Jay Dean Absolutely!

[@lmfs4032]

Steven is way better.

[@lmfs4032]

Not really a live version either. It’s in a studio.

[@conorhill9758]

Guns N Roses were/are very underrated, they aren't the greatest band of all time but they wrote some incredible songs and Appetite is one of the greatest Rock albums of all time, Slash does tend to get overrated at times but he's still a far better guitarist than what a lot of people give him credit for and Izzy just doesn't get enough credit period

[@AstralElephantFuzz]

+Conor Hill Slash gets overrated for his technical skills, but he doesn't get enough recognition for all the things he did with Izzy. Everybody's like "Yeah Sweet Child O' Mine riff and November Rain solo, woo!". People need to listen more to the left and right sides of Appetite to see what's really up. And yeah, Izzy definitely needs more credit.

[@MrACangusyoungDC]

+Conor Hill The tone and melody in stuff like "Estranged" really is unique. GNR must have been so refreshing back in the day!

[@NoN4m3161]

+Conor Hill Ppl tend to forget that every one else at the time was playing metal and wanting to be flashy like Van Halen. But Slash wanted to be original and be his own self.

[@myworstenemy680]

+Conor I read several interviews where Slash went out of his way to point out Stradlin's insignificance during the recording process. He made sure Everyone knew the guitar tracks were all him lol. Didn't Stradlin write some of the songs on Appetite?

[@conorhill9758]

MyworstEnemy Really the whole band wrote Appetite but Izzy was crucial

[@myworstenemy680]

Great job on "Walk This Way". Especially considering Phil is covering two guitar parts and the vocals!! Wow. Very Impressive guys.

[@MenaPaws21]

Best sounding guitar in a long long time, and the lessons and look into what Phil was playing was particularly great this time!!

[@myworstenemy680]

The tones you get from your gear is outstanding. So glad I found this channel.

[@74dartman13]

Never fails! Phil cracks me up and has me lol every time! I love how, no matter if it's a $200 guitar or a $20,000 guitar, Phil plays the ever livin crap out of em! It's awesome! And Daniel and Matt kick ass too! Always sounds good!👍😎🎸🎶

[@lespaulcustom7309]

Proof it's all in the fingers..

[@amidthefight6915]

Man, that new Supro sounds good. This might be Phil's best tone ever on these videos, in my opinion.

[@humansteve7194]

What the hell?? That mix sounds SO good!!

[@geovaniefloresnaturalbodyb701]

my dream guitar, the 1959 les paul jimmy page sig.

[@RevMishka]

Phil you are awesome! Love it! Miss it! Hope you're doing well!

[@andretoyo]

Phil is one of great players out and also everybody from Fretted Americana. Only Phil has that magic to make us watch a video w/ almost 20min with such joy and happy. Thanx man!

[@bigmamajama2829]

That neck pick-up sound is mind boggling.

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Walk This Way - EPIC...well done Drills.

[@bobtaylor5932]

THIS guitar with THAT Supro... I wish I could have a guitar tone half that good. Nice work, as always! Edit: Just finished watching all the way through. That cover at the end... are you kidding me? You guys sound tight.

[@briankoops5171]

You guys are very fun to watch...great chemistry!

[@McFlyGuitarsandStuff]

That was great! Those 3 are tight. (The 7 people who clicked the 'thumb's down' were never hugged as kid's. LOL)

[@JohnTPettyBone]

Love the ad-libbed lyrics to Sweet Emotion! Just like Tyler used to do! :-)

[@paulwoo6158]

That was the best cover I’ve ever heard!!!

[@diontillman3132]

This dude is the shit,he makes it look easy it takes a lot of practice to play and sing at the same time

[@mookhaze]

Pure American sound.. Great guitar

[@timlilly]

Yeah, that was perfect. I keep having to return and watch it again. Nice one

[@erpece]

Ooo... this is the best sounding guitar I have heard for a long time... Really like it thru both amps, it has this great mid range musical response. Great noodling - as always ;-)

[@GregsGarage]

I thought the audio mixing on the jam was one of the better ones I've heard on your show. Killer work all around.

[@adamwarren8893]

I enjoyed seeing you just talking and geeking out about Guns'n'Roses there :) All of these videos is an inspiration for me just by seeing your guitar playing, but it was an even bigger inspiration seeing the passion and excitement in your eyes when you were talking. Keep rocking, Phil! \m/ Looking forward to the new record!

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Phil was expressing some sonic sexual ectasy at 6:03 :-)..6:27+ was particularly nasty!

[@joukovaananen5951]

Another great video and guitar! Mr Starr grooved again, loved it!

[@Trial212]

Walk this way was Bad Ass!!! Great job!! fantastic guitar and playing!!

[@giulienk]

Instant classic episode: goes straight in my Best Phil X playlist!

[@AFreezerKx]

that welcome to the jungle tone was perfect!

[@jeannielilly4024]

Your videos are always so entertaining and you're an guitarist and singer, keep rocking brother!!

[@jeannielilly4024]

Meant to say awesome guitarist LoL

[@coleschweitzer4851]

You and athe Drills are crazy tight man great Walk this way cover, love watching you guys rip it up. 👏👏👏🔥🎸😎

[@patrickgauthier3464]

Awesome! That should always be the ending of any review! Spoiling us with a live rendition of a classic song by Phil X and the band! Thanks!

[@PanamaJack666]

Amazing Walk This Way cover at the end!

[@budgetguitarist]

The playing on "Walk This Way" was a good demonstration of Phil's mastery of 70's rock guitar and what makes it cool. And then there's that sick phrase at 17:41, which in a different video Phil says was played actually by a studio guitarist and not one of the Aerosmith guys.

[@budgetguitarist]

I meant 17:50 - sorry.

[@nathanfaderamusic9047]

really? which video?

[@conspiracypraticlelist3370]

that guitar has some MOJO in it already

[@TokyoHillbilly1]

Phil clearly likes playing this guitar. Awesome as it gets..

[@CM_McKnight]

great insight into the slash/izzy dynamic!

[@iamjezuzchrist]

And when you listen to Gilby you hear how much of a great fit he was and how lucky they were to get him.

[@KingBig1984]

Is that Studio 606?

[@goessbo]

Phil X-demon spawn of Sammy Hagar? I just love everything this guy does! In addition to being a damn fine player, I enjoy hearing about the history of these guitars as well. Beyond that, Phil's zest for life is pretty infectious. You can tell he's just one of those guys you'd really like to hang out with, and who won't ever need to say on his death bed that he wished he had done more. Life will not cheat Phil X out of anything!

[@theburn966]

Phil x doing his best Steven Tyler impression while playing sweet emotion

[@mr.fisher3973]

Awesome sound and that drummer is smokin"

[@ZappaBlues]

Love the sound thru the Supro !!!

[@cmartinrel]

Watching you geek out on GnR made my week. :-)

[@ThatsBadTV]

Did Fretted Americana ever recover the gear that was stolen?

[@frettedamericana]

+fiddlestick89 A few were recovered, but most of them have never been seen again!

[@ThatsBadTV]

+frettedamericana OUCH.. that sucks... Really sorry to hear that

[@DelReiRock]

+frettedamericana Wow... I didn't know that..... When was that??

[@coltsuperocean10]

+frettedamericana ...what? never heard this story, what happened with fretted americana?

[@ThatsBadTV]

If you followed them on facebook they were talking about it a while ago... Its a really sad story, apparently a lot of the gear they had was cleaned out... I just feel so bad for them.

[@angryheb1]

Walk this way was awesome!!! One guitar isnt easy!! Wow!!!

[@jaysonramos4179]

Yeeha, another Phil X Friday video. Thank you Phil X and Fretted Americana. ☺️☺️☺️

[@wadepatton2433]

Wait a damn minute, don't come to Nashville (to play) without letting me know. I'd try like hell to get down there for your show. A smallish one.

[@rudyantobong9233]

Awesome ... Walk this way.... The Drill

[@uplaywithfire7564]

Great tone Phil! Those custombucker alnico 3's sound killer dude!

[@bluesifyme]

Hi Phil. Greetings from Dubai! Saw you performing yesterday with Bon Jovi in Abu Dhabi. Amazing show, thank you! Liked your sea foam green guitar, sounded awesome! Review is badass as always)

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

Never realized this song is ALL bass... kickass!

[@HearGear]

Great video.. really very very great sounding guitar, i wonder, what amp and effects did Phil X use in this video, sounds like some type of room or hall type of effect ?

[@KillerShark73]

Love these vids! Keep rockin' guys.

[@mrc942]

Phil X is fucking badass!

[@rollofthedice]

Good job as always, Phil. I totally get the AFD thing too. Slash and Izzy were amazing at how they would interleave what sounds like 2 different songs into this layered masterpiece. Anything Goes is another great example

[@guitarlair]

That Friedman sounds amazing.... damn I need one!!

[@RNAMusic]

Loved the ZZ top!

[@FrankenstratGuitar]

Looks like it's gonna be around Xmas for the new Drills album then, with Phil currently on tour with Jovi? You can't rush perfection though!!

[@barybowman1914]

Great way to start a Friday....

[@TheDawnOfHumanity]

Is this a formal admission that Phil X is always geeked?

[@KubanaHAFANANA]

Ehm ,,, Could you guys please upload that sign with Phil X and the amp at @0:30 ? Want that picture badly and cant find it on net. Thanks!

[@MrTonemaster]

Fuck yeah! Perfect trio absolutely rocked this song!

[@leandrolimeres]

GNR is not underrated, sorry. Ozzy Osbourne once said that the most terrible thing that happened to rock n roll was the end of GNR. Slash is not overrated. He is a genius on guitar and the solos and riffs he made are so unique and unforgetable.

[@mcafee1971]

Its a Shame One has to Pay That Much for a Good Gibson Guitar. Most Gibson's right off the show room floor are rough and Always need Fret work and a Good Set up. After Paying $3,000 that is Just Fucking Crazy. Rock on with Your Bad Self Phil. Love you Bro.

[@marlonellamil9620]

Awesome guitarist.Awesome singer. Awesime musician.

[@andrewandthecatfives]

Killer, killer version of Walk This Way!

[@marlonellamil9620]

you are so awesome man..as always!

[@jonkerr2698]

Delicious playing and tones; the Drills are one of my favourite bands, and you guys just crush the covers you pick! Phil, do you still use a Bad Monkey for a lot of your lead boosts these days - and are there any other pedals that have really earned a place on your board? I don't use very many pedals myself, and I've been really trying to squeeze more dynamics and badassery out of my hands and guitar controls only thanks in large part to you. Keep up the great work!

[@GuillermoSmyser]

It certainly does sound good!

[@nicktunk6773]

15:12 Walk this way

[@jaysonramos4179]

Hearing rocket queen always bring me to that year where I heard Guns n Roses for the first time. ☺️

[@reverendg5937]

Thanks

[@paulsimmons5726]

Good Billy Gibbons as well as a number of others. This cat was OUT THERE...

[@ledzep20]

Was Phil on the Friedman or Supro when playing the Zeppelin riffs?

[@fanoboss]

That BASS !!! holy moly

[@chrisoke30]

AT LIKE 10:55 THAT SINGER SOUNDS LIKE ANDY WOOD another great entertaining video my fellow Canadian. your a wicked player dude and deserve all your success

[@boneprone00]

Grew up listening to gnr love slashs tone and style great player

[@OhSeventySix]

Nice kicks, Phil!

[@zapzap36]

wow! awesome version of Walk this Way..killer!

[@ted501]

kick drum sounds ... fantastic ~ !!!

[@EminemGuy88]

whats the outro song? that solo reminds me of van halen

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

How and where can a person buy some of Phil's signature P90's? Or a Framus for that matter??

[@Sniperfire24]

+Woodeso's Guitar Mods lmgtfy.com/?q=phil+x+p90 lmgtfy.com/?q=Framus+ there ya go

[@paulk.5767]

man I LOVE your videos

[@Marc-uw4mt]

+Woodeso's Guitar Mods www.philxstore.com/pickups.html or purchase some direct from Rob Timmons at www.arcaneinc.com/ The Pickups in my Explorer are actually PX100s (Picture to the left). Awesome Pickups!

[@mikeproctor]

+Marc Sweeren I have a PX100 and love it. I found a viper on eBay and put the PX100 in it and it's the best sounding $500 guitar I have. Plays great and stays in tune too.

[@odgeUK]

Is that a Drills song at the end?

[@TheNatef8]

Is it the friedman or the supro in the jam at the end?

[@walrustargaryen7794]

Is that THE Sound City?

[@saulslashgibson]

where can i buy the outro song, which album is it i cant find it

[@ScreaminThunders]

Awesome!

[@dobby240]

There were a couple times it sounded like you really struggled to get those string bends. Epic cover at the end though loved it!

[@obeycelestia]

Phil-osophical- I love it!

[@EspressoMartini007]

that was an awesome video

[@raygarcia4468]

Phil X is so good . most people peak at a certain stage but Phil is getting so good I won't be surprised if he is compared to Jimmy Page . Phil can play anything . When my friends show me a guitar player who they think is good . I just show them Phil playing hard and fast , they are speak less !

[@Teque86]

why no gary moore ever with the les pauls? bonamassa maybe? :D i can't handle no more sweet child o mine intro riff when there's a silky neck pickup

[@crogmaeb24109]

Phil! when is the new Drills record coming out? :D

[@rookiemirage]

hi phil very great vidéo i love les guns N roses
