His riffs have been in my head for over 30 years now

Phil has always been one of my favorite gutarists.. the first Cassette tape I ever got was Pyromainia.. His style amd technique tho..... Players like Pettruci, Vai, Gilbert all have a airy flow type technique. floating and sliding up and down the neck. Appearring as they arent even touching the strings.. Phil though, he looks like he is violently strangling the guitar neck... lmao. one of the more underrated players in my opinion

I will never forget seeing them in Nj at one of the baseball stadium concerts and I kept trying to get his attention with “ can I have a guitar pick strumming motion?” Sure enough when he was done with his solo don’t ask me how but he through it directly at me and everyone near me wanted to see it haha. I would have never gotten it back. Thankfully I was smart enough to stick it in my pocket and still have his steel pick to this day. He’s the most amazing guitarist up there with Eddie.

Amazing playing and tone!

Love that sound. It's absolutely iconic!

Love that outro solo to Photograph - it always take me back to a special place and time. Bravo!

I fell in love with this guitar in particular back in 89-90. To the point that I've searched in music stores for it.

Awsome player such a good guitar tone

I saw you guys first concert like 1980,Corpus Christi TX. Love you guys,you can play.I am building a guitar like that now.

It sounds much more energetic than the studio version (Don’t get me wrong, I love Photograph and the entire Pyromania album

SD great pickups. 💚🎸

I been using super distortion pick ups for about 30 years. I love them. These days I’ve been using a pearly gates for the neck pick up but still use super distortion in the bridge.

I've always loved the sound of the Super Distubence pickups

2:43 Phil your killing me! God i would love to give one of those a go, i love huge necks and they add a lil something to the tone!

I had a red sparkle Ibanez Destroyer with a super distortion, Adrian Smith influenced at the time. It was a great guitar.

i want another of the star shaped ones. mine was stolen and it was an incredible instrument.

That's your tone for sure

I HAD the exact same Ibanez destroyer as Adrian Smith had, the Red one. Unfortunately it was stolen. I added a Kahler trem to it. I believe it was a Spyder. I still wish I had it today. Those were made in '82 or '83 I think.

I remember trying out a DT555 in the 80's and the strat trem turned me off although I loved the guitar. I ended up trying my first Kramer and stuck with them for years and still use them.

Waiting for Jackson to put this out in an X Series model!

The right guy & the right guitar at the right time. Big Time.

Maybe Jackson can make him a shirt that stays on. LOL

Back then ibanez destroyers and flying vs were amazing!!!!

Mutt Lang would've had you place that a few more times, Phil 🤣

hmmmm, i wonder how those super distortions would sound in my 77 gibson explorer...

I have the original Ibanez version hanging on my wall

MIke and Joe are killer builders, i work down at Fender, and try to bug all of them every chance I can lol

My preference are the Gibson Explorer.I like the Headstocks better.

I've had a saved ebay search going since 2016 for a dt555 with the kahler. Just waiting for one 2000 or less. Sadly, it is not gonna happen. Should have bought one in 2010 when they were 1000

The play through around 08:00 sounds buzzy. Probably ok distorted but buzzy clean

Do you still have it?

I’m confused. It started with Phil and ended with this guy selling his Ibanez? What am I missing here?

is the xtroyer gonna be a normal production model? not just from signature models

Hi, is this guitar still for sale?

I've always wanted to ask Phil if he still has that original Destroyer that he used on Pyromania....

He doesn't have his ibanez but I know who does.

To the 128megabytes... I sold that Ibanez in 2018. You put THIS video together with stolen footage of Phil, stole my video of me with my old DG555 and have claimed it as your own getting almost 40k views out of this and am trying to build a channel with STOLEN videos. You did NONE of the work and own none of the content. I'm even thinking to get it removed because at the least you could have reached out to me and asked for permission. I only know about it because in my Copyright part of KZfaq I was notified that you are claiming my content as your own. 😤What do you have to say for yourself?
