A sit down (or stand up) interview with Phil X.
Vol. VI in which Phil tells you everything you ever wanted to know about POWDER, The Drills, his guitars and Black nail polish his favorite players and his favorite Fretted Americana guitars!!

Phil Xenidis, better known as Phil X, is a Canadian-born guitarist and co-founder of the Los Angeles-based Turbo Pop band Powder.

Phil also plays guitar and sings for the band The Drills.

Phil is a prolific session guitarist, having played on albums by Tommy Lee, Methods of Mayhem, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Rob Zombie, Chris Daughtry, Alice Cooper, Thousand Foot Krutch and others. He wrote the song "Tired" and also played guitar on Tommy Lee's Tommyland: The Ride album. He has appeared with Lee on Ellen and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Phil was featured in the "making of" video for the movie Josie and the Pussycats. He, along with his Powder bandmates, taught the young actresses to appear as if they were actually playing their instruments.

He also played guitar for the band Triumph in his earlier years, replacing Rik Emmett for the Edge of Excess album and tour. He has performed with Aldo Nova and the band Frozen Ghost. Phil is also the inventor of the "Flip Stick," an innovative replacement for the "whammy bar" on Floyd-Rose-equipped guitars.

  • Electric mandolin at the end FTW!

  • Anyone knows the song starting at 4:05? nice riff

  • @brainstormer9 its on the fretted americana website

  • @brainstormer9 just good "evil robot amp" then click the fretted americana link

  • Thumbs up if you think the 55 goldtop should be Phil's Christmas bonus

  • @ccrholland Tell you what, if I could afford one of the sg's, I'd play that motherfucker till I dropped dead from malnutrition, and I suck at guitar.

  • how would I get an evil robot?

  • @the0GNRock Every song on their first album. Daughtry's first album was essentially Chris Daughtry and session guys like Phil, then Chris put together a live line-up after so he could tour behind the album.
