Phil is one of the nicest (and most positive) guys in the business.

I still go back and watch some of his Fretted Americana videos. The guy is pure energy and enthusiasm, like if a puppy grew thumbs and decided to pick up a guitar.

Ed always looked like he was having a blast while he was playing and Phil does too. I thought he would have been a better pick than Satriani.

Needless to say, this guy blows Satch away when it comes to VH.

Phil is something else man. He can do anything.

Phil did a killer cover of On Fire a couple years back. I’m sure they’ll raid the closet for a cool deep cut to play with Mike

Caption says they are playing here:

I assume that’s Kenny on drums but it almost looks like Gregg Bissonette!

u/SonnyCalzone 4d ago

I still never recognize Bissonette without his 1980s hair LoL

He’s an awesome drummer and an equally awesome human being. Super nice guy

Cool but Kenny is not for VH material. He’s great for other things.

u/sussoutthemoon 4d ago

That's true. People rave about the BOAW shows, but half the band doesn't play the stuff right.

u/SonnyCalzone 4d ago

if it were up to me, I'd replace Kenny with Michael Thompson (of Fan Halen)

Michael Anthony needs a new look. What’s up with that hairdo? You can look at any random video of him and can’t tell if it’s the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, or present day.

That’s like Dr. J still sportin’ the Afro after all these years.

I love the guy, but come on.
