👍🏻 Phil is an outstanding BASED superstar! And… he’s an extremely nice guy. I was assigned to supervise his security detail back when I worked in law enforcement and before I retired. He’s very nice to nearly everyone he meets. Though I’m not a big fan of his music genre, I have since become more of a fan simply because i like most . My son and 2 of his friends WERE fans back during that timeframe. When I told Phil of this, he arranged for my kid to receive 6 tickets to the show AND a set of backstage pass. The entire band treated my kid and his friends like they were royalty! The only thing I can say I definitely don’t agree with him and the band? He’s a bit too pro drug for my taste. But it’s apparently it’s simply a freedom and liberty thing… Thanks for the video.n😂
Haha this comment made me chuckle. I find it so awesome that you know Phil personally. I would love to meet him one day because I look up to him spiritually 😂. He’s a funny guy and fascinating to see all peoples different perspectives of the guy. Thanks for sharing!
I met Phil several years ago with my step kids (I'm known as Metal Dad) and we are all from MA. Phil has always been a cool guy when we've crossed paths and I think he's a bit misunderstood IMO. One night ATR were playing with BFMV in MA and a kid in the pit caught an elbow to the temple and was totally knocked out HARD. Bleeding everywhere I picked him up off the floor and carried him outside to medics. Phil was pretty impressed LOL
@@lennymcshits2288 Oh lol sorry dude my politics aren’t very good, actually they are non existent but I wasn’t intending to be serious there but I can see that being a controversy saying “he likes drugs”.
I love fact Jason Richardson is playing guitar for them but I would love if Oli Herbert wouldn't have died Hold on , and two weeks music videos is what turned me on to this band Rip Oli Herbert 🤘🏼🤙
He was truly a unique guitarist, especially in his guitar solos. I think Jason is going to throw the band into a more progressive direction, judging by the snippets of new material I have heard.
is it in the demos?? I only hear Jesse really in that chorus and Howard in end of heartache, I didn’t think anybody else was a part of those specific songs
@@willytonezone I believe Phil does the "reversal of ones self" part while Jesse is singing the other part over top. Always been a very interesting chorus.
@@willytonezone I'm not sure about "end of heartache' That has vocals floating all over the tracks. They must have recorded parts for "take this oath" early on because Jesse is the one singing the chorus.
@@willytonezone hasn’t happened to me, I’m in a punk band rn and I have a solo metal project. I’ve just noticed with some band interviews there can be a mutual split or a fire and everyone is still chill
Yes, all of us Marines (as well as the other branches, congress members, etc) swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution...that includes all those pesky "gun rights" you seem to be such a fan of...
@@willytonezone You're good, my dude. Just never forget what makes this country the best country in the history of the planet, our Constitution, and what is literally codified SECOND in our Bill of Rights. Shit's VERY under attack and VERY important.
Took me a while to understand Phil’s strengths and reasons why he ventures from them. he is often misunderstood in many ways.
He is yes lol but no matter what I still love him
Philswitch engage
All that remains is old school metalcore doesn't matter what wiki says they are wrong alot Same genre as Killswitch engage
Agreed that’s exactly how I see them too

Amazing hahaha. Great story. Back when the pits were just that brutal! Lucky you got to meet Phil. I still think he’s such a funny and interesting guy
Great video man
Thanks! These videos are really fun to make
He doesn’t like drugs, he’s a libertarian who believes illegal drugs are a gateway to big government.
@@lennymcshits2288 Oh lol sorry dude my politics aren’t very good, actually they are non existent but I wasn’t intending to be serious there but I can see that being a controversy saying “he likes drugs”.
I’m sure it was probably sarcasm, but Phil was/still is an advocate for the legalization and decriminalization of weed, not drugs in general lol.
Lots of sarcasm lol I’m glad you caught it

@4:06, @8:57 my head was swiming
Hahaha this comment made me pass on
He does vocals for the chorus to "self revelation" along with Jesse. He also sings the "seek me, call me" part on "end of heartache"
is it in the demos?? I only hear Jesse really in that chorus and Howard in end of heartache, I didn’t think anybody else was a part of those specific songs
@@willytonezone I believe Phil does the "reversal of ones self" part while Jesse is singing the other part over top. Always been a very interesting chorus.
@@willytonezone I'm not sure about "end of heartache'
That has vocals floating all over the tracks. They must have recorded parts for "take this oath" early on because Jesse is the one singing the chorus.
Wow if that really is the case. He sounds so young and filter on us voice really does some justice to the song
To be fair the musical differences for Shadows Fall were basically the vocalist they wanted became available and Phil was pretty much like “Ight bet”
Well dam I didn’t know it was that easy.
@@willytonezone it be like that sometimes
@@GarthNGuitars that happen to you? You in a band?
@@willytonezone hasn’t happened to me, I’m in a punk band rn and I have a solo metal project. I’ve just noticed with some band interviews there can be a mutual split or a fire and everyone is still chill
@@GarthNGuitars oh yeah like As I Lay Dying. That’s another band that had some fiery situations.
Very cool are you guys or you on Spotify?
The first few ATR albums are awesome
Hell ya they are! Then they got butt 🙂
He's also anti communist and a counter revolutionary do some research maybe watch timcast irl hes a regular cohost
Had no idea about that. Thank you. I may make a part 2 on him.
@@willytonezoneOh yeah. The dude is a hardcore Libertarian. he's definitely the opposite of what Tom Morello has turned into.
@@metpach Tom Morello has a Kill-switch at all times, so he will definitely be alright
Twin Band Of Killswitch Engage 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Yes! You are right on the ball with that. That's how I always viewed those bands. While liking them both the most at the same time.
Yes, all of us Marines (as well as the other branches, congress members, etc) swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution...that includes all those pesky "gun rights" you seem to be such a fan of...
Rip. I actually didn’t intend it to be offensive haha well..

Guitarist in shadows suck??? Hello… Jon is the lead guitarist of anthrax. You obviously didn’t actually listen to shadows fall guitar work..
Nahh they don’t suck I just don’t know who they are
@@willytonezone I grew up in the Massachusetts scene. These are all local bands for me… in 99 my band space was across the hall from atr…
@justinuv dam dude you are lucky. Did you talk or jam with them?
@@willytonezone no. I went to high school with Phil… always a good dude…
