- Phil X Jamming Highway Star in Kitchener Ontario, 2011, at The WAX. Phil X, Kevin Gingrich, Paul Hoffman. Audio recording and mixing by Todd Farhood. Video and editing by Rocky Nash Films. Camera Operators: Rocky Nash, Jacquie Macri, Dana McMullen and Leslie McMullen.
Everyone is raving about Phil, deservedly so, but the singing absolutely kills it too. Great performance.
The voice reminds me of Paul Di'Anno
I can’t believe how I haven’t heard of Phil X before, what a player, he’s got it all. Very sympathetic to original versions but also manages to totally knock it out the park. What a talented guy. Fair play to him 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
I remember the day I first listened to this Highway Star cover back in Spring 2012. I had cried. Now I feel the same. Phil X is an awesome musician. 🤘
Phil X is a rock and roll legend. He can shred in the most cool way.
Whoa.......killer vocals...!!!!
Now that's some high energy R&R ...!!!
The best Highway Star cover ever.
The Chickenfoot version is better... But this is good.
@@DMDvideo10 check out highway star, live street band in chile
@@johnmclaughlin7455 I've seen and heard it! Very cool.
I'm abot to be 57 years old, I've seen and heard countless guitar players in my life and Phil X is THE Best cover guitarist I have ever seen or heard in my life. He is an amazing player.
He’s got a ton of original music as well. Check out “I wish my beer was as cold as your heart”.
Phil X is amazing, his playing is wild and creative.
Hands down one of the best covers of this song!
I love that phil doesnt need a shit ton of gain to hide behind.his tone and playing is truly awsome
That voice is simply untouchable. Damn........
HOLY CRAP!!!! How have I missed this?? And I just thought that Phil was Bon Jovi’s “guitar player”. He’s a monster! I’ll be hard pressed to find a more dynamic and virtuoso performance of this, my favorite Purple song on You Tube.
Do a search on CZcams for Phil, there are tons videos out there with the real Phil.
He's a studio ace from way back - played on a lot of songs.
This guy is amazing. He is playing the keyboard parts on the guitar at the same time as the guitar parts,,,and doing the Harmony's. Very impressed!!
He's amazing. Due check out how satriani also does it which is also great. Check his anya version live too with deep purple.
Pbil X is one of the greatest guitarists in the world!!! Great rock band as well!!!
Playing Purple stuff like this without a keyboard player just shows what a higher musical and creative level Phil X and his power trio are at. Completely amazing. I'm jealous to the audience back then who got to see them live.
The "Non musician" in the band rocks big time! There's never enough credit for the amazing drummer who is so 'insrumental" in making this amazing 3 piece work so well! You guys all rock! Creme of the crop of professional musicians here! Killer Guitar and Bass work!
It`s guys like Phil X that make me wanna stick to playing the instrument, he just keeps putting me in a " HOLY SH#T, I WANNA DO THAT" state, and props to rockynashfilms for making an amazing video.
Phil, Kevin and Paul giving Rock music that much needed boost. Great rendition.
Hello Phil X. Im also of Hellenic origen. Our ancestors invented the seven musical modes used in every genre of western music.
The progenator of the Hellenes is Apollo the sheppard boy musician. Though Im not at your playing level, I fly on my guitar like an Apollonian just the same.
Phil X Rocks!!!!
I have been aspiring to be able to play live like that for 30 years, man that was incredible.
Jesus Phil... Dude is way too underrated...
I agree .. He can play anything. The only knock is he doesn't write his own stuff.
@@classic-kool Phil X & The drills?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! He's a local boy from where I live. I always say he's got "L.A. Chops". I don't know where a Toronto boy gets chops like that! I always picture in L.A. all the guitar monsters know each other and can get jam it out. Phil lives here! We don't have much opportunity for crazy talented guitarists to do this. How did he get so good?! Same with Pete Thorn! My co-worker is from the same circle as Phil. They know the same people in the music scene here. Most, save for Phil, never made it and have regular jobs. He just finally got to meet Phil after Phil put on a little private small show at a music store owned by somebody the both are friends with here 2 weeks ago. Co-worker confirmed that he's just the nicest most down to earth guy. Says he's talking to him, chewing the fat, as 2 regular guys...it then hit my co-worker (who also plays guitar for a long time), "Holy Crap! I'm chatting with a guy who is like the Canadian EVH or Canadian Randy Rhoads, etc, and he's just so normal!" AMAZING!!!
Nailed keyboard solo
Phil is a sensational guitarist, and a damn good vocalist to boot, so I don't think he's underrated at all. But tell me, how highly rated do you think anyone (not just Phil) should be when they're known for playing other people's classics? Don't lose sight of the fact that we''re talking about music that's been around for 40+ years and covered many times over.
That intro with them both... Most epic part of the whole song in my opinion.
Brilliant...so glad I grew up in that era where we opened the vinyl's for the first time and cranked the quadraphonic up to ten through 4 wonderful speakers...Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Heart, Boston, Neil Young, Judas Priest, Uriah Heep, and of course Deep Purple...to name just a few...those were the days my friend...Yes they were the days
Or blasted through headphones!!!!
@@ronsperski7132 YEP did that with ZEPPELIN live at Maddison Square garden and played Whole Lotta Love over and over for about 3 hours then moved on to Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc... haha
That solo was flawless and so much more
Had not seen Phil X before, shame on me!! This guy plays ridiculously well, man, the way he covers both the keyboard and the guitar solos in just insane. Apart from being Bon Jovi's guitar, I've seen has also collaborated with quite a lot other people, but I would really like to see him develop a solo project. Anyways, great stuff🤘🤘
Check out frettedamericana to see the man at his best.
@@leeder92 Ok, leeder92, I will. Thanks!!
drummer is awsome .A three piece band,you can only pull that off if each member is absolutely awsome.
Rick Glow Yeah buddy, that drummer nailed it!
Damn!! I finally got to see Deep Purple in 1985 (I was 25 at the time) and this took me back to the best concert I’d seen!! They opened with Highway Star and for this young woman in a tiny town in Texas (Odessa), I was in Heaven again!! Phil you nailed it and thanks for posting this video and sharing your intense talent with us!! You definitely ROCK!!!
That was a fist full of bad ass shoved right down the ol snout!! Holy shit that was incredible!! A true guitarist's guitarist! Great line up! All hitting it spot on!!
I love how he uses the harmonics to recreate the Hammond organ bits. Superb!
Watch this time and time again.... Phil's just totally diggin' the song man!! And it's infectious.... What a player!! Magnificent! 🤘🤘
Those harmonics at 3:00 are amazing
my favorite part of this whole vid, those harmonics. total surprise.
Phil X rocks!
Yes, I thought the same :-)
You've got that right!!!
Mr EVH does the best harmonics by a long shot
Dayum! That is a Rock and Roll guitar indoctrination. I am a cork sniffing critic when it comes to guitar playing for any music genre. That was freaking impressive. All of these guys are seriously good professional musicians.
Holy shit this is incredible!!! Phil X is so underrated and can play circles around Sambora any day of the week but I do miss seeing RS with Bon Jovi
The best cover of this song!!
Wow! A three-piece rocking Highway Star - love it!!
Awesome guy and talent. Phil's timing is always perfect. One thing that makes a great musician. 🎼
Gérard Depardieu really can sing!
Hahahahahahahajajajajaja
Phil X man... absolutely killer!!
The drummer is a machine!
Fantastic playing, esp by Phil! Not only can he shred solos like crazy, but he plays a superb rhythm guitar. Thanks for recording and uploading this.
Thanks Rocky,Jacquie,Dana.Leslie,and Todd. ….. you guys rock. I Love You.
My god, this is the best cover of highway star i've ever seen. In fact, this is the best cover of a song i've ever seen. He plays both guitar and keys with perfection and my mind is just blown by this. Keep rockin' Phil X!!!
Love Phil X! A very underrated player. He’s amazing.
Whew! Best cover ever of this Deep Purple classic.
Maple Leaf power! :)
That was incredible, vocals were awesome and some sick solos. It's not often you see someone so at home with a guitar as Phil X!
Best I mean best cover of that I ever heard ..
Fukkin ROCK 🤘
Geez -us ... been seeing Phil X all over the web doing gear demos for years, but this one blew my mind.
Phill is a Sick Player, love his attitude on the Axe. He's a great singer too👍😢!!!
The solos are amazing. Wow many shredding. Amaze. Much harmonics good play!
Iv always thought the guitar solo sucks even tho the song itself is awesome.
I love the three piece setting. It gives so much space to every instrument.
WTF Phil.... this guy is totally off the charts! Wow!
This is INSANE. Excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the floor.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
That guitar is going to burst into flames!!!
Quelle version!!!!
Excellent!
Ca déchire!

Good job with this cover! It wasn’t over done and it turned out very well.
No matter how ahead time is still this old songs are supreme the weightage of these songs is more and more than today’s songs
That's great! I really like Phil, he is a great musician and such a sweet , good-humoured guy:) Love ya, Phil!

My Favorite Guitarist living!!!! Rippoli Plexi Amps and Phil X the Perfect marriage of tone and player!!!
this song was so ahead of its time...cant explain.
I love hearing Yamaha''s SCREAM..
Phil X is such a hoot
That was AMAZING!! Phil's guitar tone sounded perfect, loved it
Single P90 just like a Junior.
That's a better guitarist than anyone I've ever heard!! Rock!!!!
Fantastic hosepipe work by Phil, also great singing by Gerard (!)
Phil is a different type of shredder . and that's the best kind.
LMAO... Phil is sooooo spankin good.. He makes that old Yamaha screeeeeeem....!
Andrew B funny enough that guitar isnt old thats his signature model
Thanks Eric... that is his one pickup Yamaha.. I have older guitars..a Yamaha SG 500 and SG2000 RS. These really are fantastic axes
Those bazuki lessons paid off
What a great fucking tune Ritchie Blackmore and Purple wrote. One of the most exciting songs ever written.
Fantastic mix, great job. Makes it all that much better to enjoy the magic.
Phil X is a great musician!!
phil wow what a kool dude every time i see him speak he is smiling love to learn from him
Oohhhh!!! Super Awesome guitar playing, Phil X your number One Man…
Phil X! you are such a big inspiration to me.
OMFG! I'll just say it again, this is how it's done. Bass player nailed Ian Gillian? Phil blows people away and makes them want play more at the same time! If I ever learn to play those arpeggios like that, I fucking will. Great recording to, thanks
Word, crazy how he those 2 do those ascending arppregios instead of the pull off 2 open strings on the original...
WHAT A LOVELY BAND : GERARD DEPARDIEU ON THE BASS :-))
I could watch Phil play all day :D thanks for the upload
Amazing performance of this rock classic!
Hot Damn!!! Phil is a Beast
