Man - I never knew Phil Buckle wa a shredder! That was awesome! He's must have been one seriously together dude to let his ego take a backseat so that Jack could take all the leasd workk. I always incorrectly assumed that Jack must have been the better lead player - Phil is obviously every bit as good - maybe better

damn this is great-this is a new find for me also-heard of Virgil Donati here in the states with Soul Sirkus-but this here band was a monster-wonder why they were'nt bigger worldwide ?...

I saw Virgil with Vai I think on one of the first G-3 tours, man the guy is absolutely awesome.Very musical!Dream Theater held auditions for a new drummer with the departure of Portney and Virgil was one, of only seven, to audition for the incredable prog band.They were only looking for the very best and Virgil was on the list for sure.

@tonfan Australia doesn't realise or is so naive, blind, deaf or plainly hooked up by these bogan footy/sport stars that they have some of the best musicians in the world right on their door step! Virgil Donati is flooring people overseas yet apart from musicians no one knows or cares about their own (Virgil Donati) doing amazing things overseas.

Where can we find talents like that these days! Real good music, can't believe they were so young. See how spontaneous they were on stage shredding their guitars away.

Southern sons rocks!!!

so do Electric Mary..... I am sure you have heard them already yes???

[carldna]

but the Cutters really had some life and balls.

It's simple anyone that knows what they're talking about re guitar players will say he moved aside coz he had nothin on Jacks playing.....any GOOD guitarist will tell you this. I have seen Phil play and he didn't NOT do any solo's with Sons, some of MTV basement songs he shredded in solo's........ doesn't make him a great player. In saying that, if Phil does it for you, then that's great, everyone will do something for someone more so than another player. Otherwise there's only ever be one.

Does anyone know if there are any old Cutters video footage out there ? Live or Clips? ~ cmon Phil dig some out and upload em for us - :) must have some from the ol studio in Ringwood days ?

@TheSook45 ~ you have no idea what youre saying until you can say you saw him playing live week in week out around melbourne ~ Jacks great, but lacks the soul Phil wrenched out of his guitars

[carldna]

@weedoman1971 ~ Phil was playing in a band called the Cutters in Melbourne before they became the Sons ~ nearly every song featured his playing which was awesome ~ I never understood why he stepped aside for Jack ~ Phil still to this day is one of the best players Ive ever seen live
