PhilX on Fakebook

[Narzugon]

What brought this on? Did I miss something?

 

[warlockII]

for those of us without access, what happened?

“It’s like a frequency or something”

holds up amp powered by AAs

Obvious troll

 

[Greg Ferguson]

If he's genuinely interested he'd ask. I respect Phil X, but sometimes people don't understand enough about technology to know how to dial in sound.

 

[JoKeR III]

A lot of people will say whatever they need to when they're getting paid to say it.

 

[lauke-lux]

Looks like a tentative to make a joke, probably drunk a glass too much.

Anyway, it'the video isn't a fake, for those who want to try that small Amp for a low price soon there will be available some on Ebay

 

[SHEPPARD]

IMO he's just talking superstition. I doubt he could hear the difference in a blind test. Here's one for you Phil, "You got the sky, you got clouds and you got yelling!"

Can't be lack of knowledge. He recently did a podcast with Dweezil Zappa talking about VH songs, and played through Dweezil's Axe-Fx.

It would’ve been fine if that was just his opinion and left it at that. But to bring the katana into it and honestly think the katana sounds better than fractal voided his opinion lol

 

[ConstantM]

Suuure Phil...

Just say "YOU" can't dial the tone you are referring to.

 

[Edrod]

Well when your scientific measurement is using the world renowned "violent scale"......

 

[Sixstring]

Sounds like a lot of Bioturbation of the stinky kind to me.

 

[peteri]

Let’s face it. He’s a good guitarist and seems a nice guy.

But he’s been listening to Jon Bon Jovi screech into his in ears for the last few years - I doubt he can hear much anymore

 

[Rick]

It’s an opinion. You know what they say.

 

[J.C]

People love their little amps. The THR5 made some pretty sweet VH tones as well.

 

[Rock Chalk]

Sounds like Cooper Carter needs to pay him a visit and teach him a couple things.

I agree. He's an accomplished player. I'm sure he's experienced many setups and understands the various setups /gear in various situations. All in all he has always comes across as a happy go lucky player who doesn't take things so serious. Odd that he posted this.

It's a frequency "or something"....
I had a Fractal artist send Phil my number this week.
A lot of guys are naysayers for views.
I choose to believe he's actually interested in finding the "violence frequency," and I'm happy to help.

Look far be it from me to challenge anything that Phil-X would say relative to playing guitar or crafting tone ....

And ..., I'll preface by saying I'm not necessarily a big "chugging" kind of player ..., but isn't that ALL about the ATTACK ?

IIRC ..., Pete Thorn has discussed ad nauseam about Eddie's Right-Hand ( picking ) technique .... My uneducated "guess" would be that his technique would become the most obvious when he's "chugging" ( right ? ) ....

Then if that sounds logical ..., couldn't that be the reason that no one can match that part of Eddie's tone ? IOW - it's not the tone ..., so much as it is the technique ....

Finally ..., the portion of the VH I / VH II tone that I have the most problem authentically recreating is the sag ( which quite frankly is as much of a feel thing as much as it is a tone thing ) ....

@Cooper Carter I'd really, REALLY be interested in what comes out of your collaboration w/ Mr. X if he ever gives you a call ....

They say “ignorance is bliss.” I’m guessing that Mr. “X” must be a very happy man.
