Phil X Jams - The Beatles Helter Skelter

[Waltos]

My favorite version of this song.



[MadSpectro7]

I know I'm going to get a lot of crap for saying this, but that bassist sings better than Phil.

[noscx]

Consider this classic knocked out of the park.

[AkisColdplay]

He has an amazing voice....

[ace777]

cant stop watching this fucking vid

[udovdh]

Where's that DVD? Or download of the whole show?

[rockynashfilms]

@udovdh That has not been done yet, lots of people asking though so you never know!

[valerock667]

[themusicgamer14]

THIS IS A FAKE DRUMMER! HE DOESN'T HAVE BLISTAS ON HIS FINGAS!

[superacecombat]

[TheMrBfmv]

was funny when the singer messed up at the first chorus then they just laughed :P

[fliebster]

this drummer is yelling along... haha what a good performance from all three!!

[hungerstriker27]

damn... this is one of the toughest songs to sing.... and the bassist did an amazing kob, not only cause he reached thehigher notes, but for the attitude he puts in this song.... amazing.

[bodas67]

The bass player was born to sing this song!

[Vintageman81]

Is this a Powersoak on the left side of the Roppoli head?

[captainawesome997]

Not a huge fan of covers, but damn these guys bring the noise.

[MrRandom612]

what he does with the nut? and the strings at 1:40 ..?

[crysisgamer81]

@MrRandom612 he pushed the string down (not on the nut, but a bit above it) and then picked it. that gives you that diving sound.

[nathan2rock]

i wana see more of the bassist singer

[nathan2rock]

his band are good!!!

[taxford]

WOW! Nice job!

[xPsuedo]

he's playing war pigs on verse riff

CANNOT UNHEAR

[SkidRow2341]

@leftyrock85 I felt the same, and I was lucky enough to have one in my local Pawn Shop! So i picked it up! Awesome guitar, it's like a SG with Les Paul guts

[locriz]

the bassist is very good but I prefer the other bassist...Paul McCartney!!!

[rocconrollo]

@locriz too bad McCartney didn't play bass in this song...

[IDanClarkI]

@rocconrollo

thought he did?

[rocconrollo]

@IDanClarkI i don't understand who are you referring to :/

[IDanClarkI]

@rocconrollo paul mccartney, didnt he play bass on this? could of sworn he did

[rocconrollo]

@IDanClarkI nopes,the line-up for this particular song featured Lennon on bass and McCartney on lead guitar

[individrus]

@rocconrollo Actually, Paul had to play lead:) As on the original record

[rocconrollo]

@individrus exactly,lennon played bass

[daneosnake2]

this version is far better than beatles'

[FullOfDookies]

@daneosnake2 no its not.. but its quite awesome!

[theiLODs]

@daneosnake2 its good but you cant touch the beatles

[md47bot]

[SiKxBlAzEr]

[chordize]

[djangolad]

[rssnowblind0]

If only everyone else in this world could realize the potential and greatness of this.

[smilefromthestreets7]

1:38 tune bending by phil is fucking insane!

[RaphaelMPinto]

[tmservo38]

I honestly don't know how anyone can "dislike" these Phil X covers. All I gotta say is wow! I wish they would come up north and play near San Francisco. I would see them in a heartbeat. These dudes rock 4 sure.

[lockofthedeath]

[masterpeace96]

I got blisters on my fingers!

[Dorillo76]

Phil X rocks cause he's not a 'one song guitarrist' neither a 'one album guitarrist', he plays too much songs, knows too much tabs, he's awesome

[HarryAndAGuitar]

Phil X is the chuck norris of guitar haha

[Dorillo76]

@HarryAndAGuitar LOL you got it right, pal

[arbinator]

@HarryAndAGuitar Fuq yeah!

[kads95]

@HarryAndAGuitar no way chuck norris is the philx of martial arts

[PunkRockDude1]

@HarryAndAGuitar Phil X is Reason why Chuck Norris doesn't play guitar

[ViniciusMaffei]

The bassist is an awesome singer man!

[BackUpClover]

@ViniciusMaffei Would have been better if Phil sang it.

[darklho]

@BackUpClover noo man, that bassist voice is freakin awesome

[darklho]

@ViniciusMaffei yeah!

[andyjk65]

@ViniciusMaffei Sounds like Gary Moore singing

[texnet11]

at 0:36 did the singer mess up

[sharrer2]

Just my honest opinion. But. I like this more than the original!

[colosalblack]

AWESOME!

[sjp61]

Be interesting to get Phil's opinion of The Beatles rather than listen to the inconsequential ramblings of some Neville Nobody who's only contribution to music is that he farts in tune.

[EccentricRichard]

The only exciting song the Beatles ever wrote. A good song, but such an overrated band. Phil X and his mates shit all over the Scousers as far as musicianship and all-round niceness as guys go...

[Seebbew]

@EccentricRichard

well, Beatles are from the 60's, this is 2010. The music they did back then is legendary. Show some respect man

[EccentricRichard]

@Seebbew - compared to other bands of the same era (The Who, the Yardbirds, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Black Sabbath, maybe even Led Zeppelin), the Beatles were still mediocre. Now, that era is my favourite for rock music, I'd love the Beatles if they'd been good enough. 2010's music is mostly crap.

[Seebbew]

@EccentricRichard - we have our opinions haha :) but yes, zeppelin and pink floyd were more talented. But there's just something with beatles that makes them amazing

[EccentricRichard]

@Seebbew - yes, there is something amazing about the Beatles. Several things, in fact. Their arrogance, their egotism, and just how bloody overrated they are.

[A7XRULES60000]

@EccentricRichard

STFU

The beatles are the best band ever and anyone who says there overated and "mediocre" can suck ,my D*ck!

[EccentricRichard]

@A7XRULES60000 - nonsense. Compared to other bands of the time - The Who, the Yardbirds - later Led Zep - and proggy bands like Cream, King Crimson, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, and, at the darker end of the scale, Steppenwolf and Black Sabbath and suchlike, the Beatles are beige, insubstantial pap. Their lyrics are mostly simple and naive in the extreme, their melodies laughably basic, their rhythms laughably simple (no complex time signatures at all), etc.

[wassupthesky]

@EccentricRichard  Musically, they weren't as virtuosically talented as say, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, etc., but they were definitely very musically sophisticated and influential. The biggest advantage the Beatles had over their peers was their consistency. They just consistently wrote good, catchy songs, whereas a lot of other bands of the time had only a handful of real hits.

[EccentricRichard]

@A7XRULES60000 - this is pretty much the only Beatles song I can actually stand listening to (well, this and Eleanor Rigby). Most of the time Lennon's smug-sounding voice just makes me feel angry.

[A7XRULES60000]

@EccentricRichard

Johns voice is the best in the world so F*ck you

[EccentricRichard]

@A7XRULES60000 - that's just so hilariously ridiculous as a claim that all I can do is laugh. He isn't even in the top twenty as far as I'm concerned. He just sounds exactly what he was - smug, arrogant, egotistical, hideously overrated.

[A7XRULES60000]

@EccentricRichard

Burn in hell,retard

[EccentricRichard]

@A7XRULES60000

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[A7XRULES60000]

@EccentricRichard

Fuck off

[BL80488]

@EccentricRichard Harrison, Lennon and McCartney are all in the top twenty. Harrison was a underrated guitarist also

[matrags]

@EccentricRichard Your taste is your own but about a billion people worldwide feel otherwise.

[sharrer2]

@EccentricRichard Alright, You can insult the beatles, and you can even insult Pink Floyd. But if you DARE insult Led Zeppelin and or Phil X, I'll cut you in half with a hubcap.

[EccentricRichard]

@sharrer2 - don't get me wrong, I love Phil, I love Led Zep, I love Pink Floyd, I just find most of the Beatles' output to be mediocre pap. What's more, Lennon and Starkey especially were arrogant egotistical c**ts (Ringo still is).

[sharrer2]

@EccentricRichard Eh I'm not a fan of the beatles either, they are overrated, but I do respect their legacy, it's not easy to make a band thats remembers half a century afterwards. Phil is an amazing guitarist, maybe not the best, but who wants to listen to the best? Go listen to Malmsteen play 20 million notes in 3 seconds if you want "the best". Cheers mate.

[EccentricRichard]

@sharrer2 - maybe you're right. As for technical guitar-playing, sure Malmsteen and John 5 and so on are very impressive, and I do listen to them a bit, but there's nothing like a good ol' dollop of old-fashioned soul and fun, Phil X-style.

[EccentricRichard]

@sharrer2 - now, I've not really heard Phil playing anything especially original (my fault for not listening to enough of him, not his fault for lacking originality), but let's face it, the guy's technique and soul are as good as they get. He's a truly great guitarist, and an absolutely lovely guy to boot.

[spaceguitars]

I love Phil X like a brother. Great song, great performance, great stuff!!!

[AidanD180]

Excellent performance

All it was missing was "IVE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!" :P

[gtlsz]

@AidanD180 haha right:)

[mbguitar]

I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!!!

[TheBabyride]

awesome! ;D

[richiepowa]

enorme, la grosse claque!

[EdgarBeja]

Great music! I wonder how many music did they played! So many :D

[avamkfeimja]

great quality and sound!! ;)

phil x plays the guitar and seems that it's too easy!
