  • why did he pass out?

  • @Ivan4131994 he has cardiogenic syncope

  • It truly speaks to the characters of Flynn, Deuce, and McClain to always choose to stop the show when this happens. And it speaks volumes more to the fans who support them in their decision to keep Demmel in the band and put his well being first. That's why Machine Head kicks ass and their fans kick ass.

  • i hope it doesnt happen in december when im going to see them

  • Oh gawd Finland. D:

  • Damn Dave is tall.

  • I'm glad the crowd understood and clapped in support.

    It would kinda be a boner kill when you're headbanging and shit and then it stops all of a sudden. But hey it's machine fucking head they can stop when they want, whether they want to or not

  • the 17 people who disliked this were the crowd surfers that were dropped when they stopped playing :)

  • This happened when I saw them a few years ago in Virginia USA, at the first Mayhem tour. It was the middle of the last song and you just heard *BAM*. Down he went.

  • @GoEvl I heard he got shocked/electrocuted or some shit

  • once again, thank you Josh Boone for bein there for Phil and all of Machine Head! You Rule!

  • Oh dear...

  • EI VITTU ;D

  • i think somethings up with phil becuase theres alot of youtube videos of him falling. and those are just videos imagine how many times he actually has fallen and wasnt recorded. makes u wonder man. i hope nothing bads going on with him

  • @Carnifex11100 he has a heart condition that causes it read up on wikipedia about it

  • @jaidonnn yea man i read about it. and its most likely couse by stress from his fathers death. but sitll it must take dedication knowing that u can pass out any second and still getting up there on stage for the fans

  • Comment removed

  • ei vittu!

  • When did Kerry say that

  • well, on the plus side Phil made it to the last couple riffs in Halo, so he almost made it through the whole song

  • @thememoryremains100 FUCK OFF, TROLL

  • @BrynLFilms kerry king was right...machine head suck big fat ones

  • Man, i thought that Rob will smash his guitar on the ground, he looked really pissed off....

  • i have so much respect for them, and the fans for understanding

  • Wait. who's in the big four?

  • Wow robbs reaction! He looks pissed he didn't want to quit!

  • @Direksone That's what it looked like to me, like, "Oh great....AGAIN!?"

  • @Direksone I think he was worried about fans being upset about it that they had to stop and terminate the set like that, but since he mentioned that it has happened a numerous number of times before, so thank goodness they understood.

  • @Metalfie66 Yea, though I can understand a reaction like 'wtf, again?!' too when you're in the moment. but MH is a big band, down to earth, cool guys, they get a lot of respect from the fans and that's why people understand.

  • @Direksone Totally!

  • Dude Rob looked PISSED

  • They're called the big 4 cos they were the 4 big bands pioneering thrash metal, not cos they are the biggest bands. I prefer machine head to both slayer and anthrax but it's irrelevant

  • @stuartrance ... not really, there are a lot other pioneers in thrash metal ( slayer is no thrash at all btw) ... but these 4 bands are those with the longest career and biggest fan community ^^.... MH came out as any band from the big 4 already had LPs out and many world tourse already done....

  • @RustyPease ... there are others, obviously diamond head and motorhead for example had a huge influence but my main point is the big 4 of thrash will always be tallica megadeth slayer n anthrax. like i say, i prefer MH > slayer n thrax and id also prefer megadeth to be the top billing big 4 band but the big 4 will always be those 4

  • @stuartrance

    metallica was only thrash on kill em all. fight fire with fire was kind of thrash but rtl was mostly metal. same with mop and ajfa, everything after was shit.

  • @xdyerseve88x wrong theyre still thrash

  • @trooper314

    metallica is most certainly not thrash now. i would say just regular rock. the guitars are hardly distorted and james doesn't have that growl anymore.

  • @xdyerseve88x your full of shit. james voice is still full of growl and there guitars are very heavily distorted, i can tell the only song by them youve ever heard is fuckin enter sandman >:(. btw: Machine Head Rules

  • @pivetlord13

    no need to get hostile. and when you listen to bands like machine or bleeding through, even old metallica doesn't sound heavy. and my fucking username is xdyerseve88x, DYERS EVE which happens to be my fav metallica song, so take your childish insults somewhere else.

  • that's really bad :(

  • Machine Head is the best band ever! I pray this doesn't happen when I see them this summer.

  • poor man, but mazing how the crowd deals with it!!

  • @scooperzed yeah i thought that too, and was initially like, thats not on man, but if you think about it, he's probably done it a few times before and this was a big show, so rob was probably just real excited about it, i guess it was just momentary anger. In the end i'm sure he'd just want phil to be alright.

  • What happened to him?

  • who else thinks machine head should replace anthrax on the big 4 tour!!!

  • @pivetlord13 Anthrax deserves it's place.

  • @pivetlord13 big 5 would sound great but you are right machine head is Way better anthrax may be more famous thou

  • @pivetlord13 very strong point, but i agree

  • @pivetlord13 yeah, they should anthrax arnt really as good as metallica, megadeth or slayer, machine head are definently good enoth

  • @MrSeppmusic It's called Halo :)

  • 12 people are the dumbest assholes ever phil demmel rocks!!!!!!!!!

  • aaaaa!! eiii vvittu!!

  • machine fuckin head!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fuck I feel so sorry for phil. What an awesome guitarist he is, and it sucks so much that this happens to him :(

  • What brilliant fans! Truly awesome ambassadors for metal. Do you think people at a rap 'gig' would cheer if the 'artist' fell ill and had to cancel the rest of the show? There would be a riot in that situation!

  • @SamK223 ... don't compare music with beats...'cos most of the rap nowadays is nothing but samples an silly covers.... and a crowd of jumping monkeys ^^ ....metal fans are by far on of the most social crowds... you take 10000 metal fans and you may have 2 brawls with about 10 people involved.... take a rap gig with 50 fans and you end up in a street riot with the neighbourhood involved ^^

  • @SamK223 How about not talking about rap at a metal video. Who gives a shit what happens at a rapconcert.

  • @Direksone Alright, chill out man, no need to be a douche about it

  • @SamK223 who is being a douche? youre bashing a genre that has nothing to do with the whole video. spend less time caring about something you dont like and invest that time into the things you do like.

  • @Direksone Bit of a hippocrite are we? You just bashed the same genre that has nothing to do with this video

  • @SamK223 Eh no, I'm not bashing rap, I just don't care about it. There's a difference.

  • @SamK223 so for you it's cool that the crowd cheers cuz the "artist" fell unconscious?

  • @GIowaa I think you misunderstood my comment my friend. I didn't once say that they cheered because he fell ill, i said they cheered because the show had to be cancelled. This was immediately followed up by that fact that there would be a riot at any other gig, as a result of the fans not caring for the artists well being and health, just wanting to get their money's worth at the gig.

  • @GIowaa they weren't cheering because he fell they were simplying letting the band know they understand the situation.

  • @SamK223 Even though I do agree with you to an extent, that's a horribly single-minded and biased comment which is just wrong. It's horrible that a "metal fan" would have to act so ignorant and intolerant, that's what makes all metal fans seem to be shitty people. Just look at what happened at Metallica's gig when Hetfield got burned: riots. People can be great, or they can be idiots, no exceptions to music genres.

  • Fuck why did he have to pass out on such an awesome song? He misssed the best part.

  • @weemissile He always does it in Halo... :O

  • @DaPetorian1 Its got to be something about the solo, gets his heart working, causing it to skip beats

  • phil didnt pass out because of a condition. he passed out because of the complete badass-itude of halo, causing his heart to skip a beat, making him collapse.

  • I was gonna reccomend a can of 'Man Up' but i completely agree with Rob. Understandable!

  • At 0:33 Rob looked pissed! :O

  • At least they ended with a great song. :)

  • R.I.P Phill Demmel, Nah just kiddin ;) great band to carry on though some would have stopped =|

  • @CptJeromeMousepad Don't Jinx The Dude

  • Comment removed

  • make "shizzle" ^^

  • lmaoo

  • as much as i love phil it would be funny if that happened whilst playing white knuckle blackout. still up with MH

  • @MattPurkis It would be funny. But still sad.

  • It happens to me on rare occasions, can have injections no problem, but when they pull blood out for tests, something happens and i have a 15 second window before i'm out, so i feel for the guy, when it happens in front of all those people, and doesn't know when it's going to happen.

    Phil is awesome!

  • well sucks for the crowd to get their concert cut in half

    but atleast they aint cunts and understood... hopefuly they got a refund or tickets for another gig or something

  • @ChaplainDMK I know when I saw them at one of the early OzzFests, Ozzy cut them off during the second song and they had a make up show in a small venue (CBGB's) and it was a lot better seeing them there than at a festival anyway. Point being I wouldn't doubt if they played a make up show locally for these people...

  • What a situation for a band to be in ! Especially someone as big as Machinehead. You can just see how pissed the lead singer is at around 0:37.

    I bet they've discussed replacing him a few times. Why don't they bring a back-up guitarist/bassist so they can at least carry on ?

    Poor guy.

  • @DonJuanDeMarco2 Machine Head Wont Replace Phil Besides He's Better Now. MACHINE FUCKIN HEAD \m/

  • @cgoff23 Glad to hear it.

  • @cgoff23 what do you mean he is better now??? did they figure out what was wrong?? because i havent heard that

  • @69badrocky Yeah It Was Due To Cardiogenic Syncope. I Think It Is to Do With The Back. But Yeah He Is Better Now. He Still may Suffer From It But As Of Latley he Is Alot Better

  • @DonJuanDeMarco2

    You can't just change a guitarist like that... They are fucking family.

  • fuck that would suck man, especially for it to happen during this song and at the most epic part :( but i understand, shit happens

    MACHINE FUCKING HEAD

  • i understand apologizing for not bein able to finish out but i wouldnt apologize for passin out. its not like he was like imma pass out so i cant kill it on stage anymore today

  • @lukevertiis Oh come on,what are the chances of him playing with semen dripping from his mouth.Its true i would have appluaded it,but just dont think its very likely to happen....shame.

  • big fuckin respect to machine head and the fans but have you noticed happens alot in the song halo

  • HAHAHAHA XD 0:40-VITULLA!

  • haha the roadie at 0:21 has the same slayer tour shirt as me

  • dude that would suck,,,

  • ...., the years have not been kind to Adam Duce..... But who cares, tht guys a fuckin beast!!!! >:D

  • always happens during halo...

  • @MrKazuya2 Probably because its the same point in the set :S the excitement of the crowd might bring it on. Poor man :( Thank god the crowd didn't boo :)

  • dave mclain looks like freakin xerxes at the end lol MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!!

  • @Snigglesnock

    lol

  • is he alright generaly?

  • metallica shirt at 2:01...

  • Flynn was like a beast when he realized that Demmel had collapsed. He was so fucking angry and scared...

  • too good riff

  • 1:08 tonight... argggghhh!! hahaha

  • Um... it seems that Phil just passed out...

  • kohdassa 1:17 suoraan sydämmestä EI VITTU!

  • robb looks real pissed man. great fans for understanding supporting my argument for why metal gigs are just the best. Machine Fucking Head XD

  • Is Phil still with the band? If so, and he still passes out, then MH is the greatest fucking band EVER!

  • @XandeRToXic Yeah he's still with the band... They wouldnt ever be the same without him.... Thats fokken how to be a real metalhead... "Nah it doesnt matter if I pass out wilst playing and might die, Give Me My Fucking Guitar!"

  • that day was amazing too bad that phil passed out but fucking great band i hope i see these guys in a future :)

  • Now that's fucking community, i remember at school when an n-dubz concert was cancelled for medical reasons and everyone when fucking ballistic. but instead of getting pissed about it the crowd become really supportive. really hope his condition get's better.

  • @BurnmasteR100 fuck yeah man, the metal crowd is the best kinda crowd

  • @PieceOfTheNightmare is there any other kind that is REAL? man pop crowd is fucking posers... they know nothing about the true feeling of live performances

  • That would be well imbarrasing. Poor bugger. Good band though.

  • @bassmanjake123 Embarrasing??? Nah, he'll be like "Sorry, Had a little something to take care of" Then procede to solo for 20 minutes....

  • Machine head fans are so great, I heard a couple aws, but no booing. They know that Phil cant help it. So understanding, god bless em

  • So tough to watch this. Man Robb looks super upset when he sees Phil's gone down.

    Props to Adam for taking the mic and letting everyone know what's going on. That man is solid as hell.

  • Hei VITTU!

  • well he didnt pass out at all when i seen them last month. :)

  • Yeah I've noticed phil always passes out when they play Halo..always seems to be around the solo when it happens...Makes you wonder if it's something to do with him having to concentrate so hard whilst playing the solo.. He passed out when i saw them playing in sheffield whilst playing the solo..

  • i watched several different videos of phil passing out and i noticed.....he passes out during Halo like every time!

  • i noticed that aswell! its weird.. but they usually play halo pretty late in their performances.. so maybe he's worn out or something?.. but its good that people support the band and arent booing them for something he can't help..

  • No Phil has a heart condition,

  • as do i.. so i understand what he feels

  • Just so people don't think he passed out because he was pissed the real reason for his blackouts is that Phil suffers from a rare condition called Cardiogenic Syncope, which causes the heart to have a sudden drop in blood flow, causing blackouts.

    Machine Fuckin' Head!

    \m/

  • @MetallicDeth92 Its a really bad disease and it sucks to have . . .

  • @MetallicDeth92 ...i didnt know you could pass out from being pissed...

  • @partyboy91065

    Well then you haven't yet lived...

  • @MetallicDeth92 as long as he is ok, and doesnt die on us

  • @MetallicDeth92 Ha, I have the same condition.

  • Machine Head Fans are the so loyal, its good to see the crowd supporting them after that instead of throwing shit like assholes. i hate to try to promote my band on here, but we just put up a shit load of vids so if you could check them out that would be sweet. if you like machine head i think you will like us as well. MACHINE FUCKING HEAD

  • rob was fucking pissed...

    a damn shame this happened...

    MH fucking rule!

  • When i saw them for the 5th time back in 2008 i recall Phil passing out 2 songs before the end.... he literally collapsed to the floor and i swear i saw a piece of his guitar snap off with the impact.... I feel so sorry for the guy.... he's such a nice guy too, i met him back in 2007 and he's awesome.... he really does deserve to be in Machine Head... its just a shame when this does happen.... poor guy.... can i get a... MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!?

  • MACHINE!

    FUCKING!

    HEAD!

    \,,/

  • @metalkidmike666

    MACHINE

    FUCKING

     HEAD!!

  • these fans acted better than metallicas fans wen james went to hospital

  • hey guys come check out my metal band we could use some supprt so please come by and check out our vids thanks and i saw these guys live hope he keeps rockin would love to see them again

  • 5th song in i believe? must be a burden on the band sometimes, but credit to them all they seem really understanding. hes got a heart condition, bit harsh to kick him out for that! plus he is a fuckin sick guitarist!

  • How far through the set were they?

  • This was their last song.

  • why only when the play halo

  • I saw MH three times and every time Phil does a great job without passing out. I feel so sorry for him!

  • Im so glad he didn´t pass out February 1st in Helsinki, full show, including Halo. Absolutely fucking amazing, front row l..l

  • i feel so sorry for him, im just glad he continues playing guitar

  • he passd out when I saw them at shefield as well

  • yeah i was there too

  • pretty brootal

  • brutal*

  • @xBloodYxCannibaLx i know how to spell brutal,i just like to spell it with 2 o's,

  • Oh OK good for you

  • EI VITTU :D

  • they should not play halo live... fuckin phil... love you bro! but shit

  • i just fucking realised that aswell, its always halo that does the damage, fuck man.. at least hes ok

  • It's nothing to do with playing Halo, it's just because it's late in the set and he obviously gets tired.

  • yea the halo bit was a joke lol but what i heard was the stage lights on certain songs get his condition going (rob mentioned it in an interview somewhere) dunno if thats a %100 accurate but thats what i heard anyway

  • Fuck halo, he always pass out on that one!!

  • He has an odd heart condition which causes him to pass out. That's what I heard from one of his old guitar techs. I always thought it was the song that knocked him out! Machine head fuckin' rips!

  • Whoa thats weird

  • Lol it's wierd that it's halo he passes out to..Poor Phill

  • i think it says alot about machine head fans and metal fans in general how when it happened no one was like wtf prick its like they kinda realise shit its a medical thing as long as he's ok theyll be back

  • he collasped while playing Halo when i saw them in Sheffield too :/ sucks but, MH got an almighty applause off. regards to phil!

  • My regards go out to Phil. Hope he is ok.

    Bet ya anything it was all that damn speed those boys used to do in the Vio- days. Just listen to "Eternal Nightmare" & tell me speed didn't play a part in that shit.

  • Because of this happening Machine Head would not of got full pay for performing. That sucks.
