I wish Rig Rundown existed in the 80s so we could see one for Steve Clark.

2019 and I'm still lovin me some Rebecca

Met Phil, he is just a fantastic person, NAM show one year and I quite literally bumped into him at the Jackson booth. I happened to be holding a PC1. He sat down and went over the guitar with me, just a great guy and a great player. Love seeing him continuing to be successful

Phil Collen is so down earth. so cool.

Damn. Props to this guy for using steel picks and 13 gauge strings. That shit ain't easy night after night.

I love how he, living in the US, retained his English accent

I miss Dirks on rig rundown. She knows her stuff and alot of the artists would come out instead of sending their techs as well.

Great rig rundown - impressive collection, those PC-1s are awesome. Phil seems like a really personable and unpretentious guy, and to boot Def Leppard have rocked for years.

Phil is a great player period.

I miss Rebecca:(

He seems to be such a nice and down-to-earth guy! I sat in awe while he was talking. Really interesting to hear him talk about his gear.

...man I love Jacksons...

i know he constantly mentions this a lot, but man, those necks on his guitars are HUGE! cant even imagine playing one.

Dude looks really young for a guy in his 50's. Keeps in sick shape.

He has a skill unique in top rock bands of being able to make any no expense spared super rig sound just like a 1982 Tom Scholz Rockman.

The world needs Rebecca Dirks now more than ever

Phil’s playing on the Mirror Ball album brought me back to Def Leppard as a fan. I took like a few years off, but hearing his leads live just made me remember why I loved this band!

One of the best guitarists in the universe hands down

How rad is that Phil does his own rundown?

Phil is AWESOME. Mega thanks for given back to your guitar playing fans. Spectacular!

I just clicked on this after the Yngwie Malmsteen Rig Rundown and what an about-face: Yngwie's ego and 0.08s vs. Phil's humility and 0.13s.

One of the best rig rundowns I've seen. You can tell he really enjoys what he does. I also liked how Phil took the time to do the rundown himself. 13 gauge?! Daaaaang.

13 gauge strings and steel picks - I thought this guy was English not Asgardian.

I was there that day! I saw them sound check in the afternoon and saw the show that night! Love that this behind the scenes was captured!!

Very down to earth! It's nice to know some guitarists will actually rundown their own rigs instead of their techs, nice to see!

These are hands down the best interviews out there. Not just for the gear, but for the format. She did little talking, great info being shared, and just 1 "fluff" question on the end for a smile. I hate seing interviews of my favorite musicians and they ask "how did you meet", "who's the messiest on tour"..

Phil Collen is one of the best. Phil and Steve Clark is the best I ever heard. Terror Twins. Amazing !!!!

phil collen is one of my favorite musicians his guitar skill is amazing hi has a really nice look to him aswell rock on man!!

Phil is an awesome dude! Looks like he's got a great personality, great player!

Great vid... Phil's a nice guy, and the flamed and quilted maple on those Jackons is beautiful... highly figured maple necks and fretboards is a sign of real quality (and expense!)

Best rig rundown so far... and I'm not even a def leppard fan, he's just an awesome guy who knows his things.

So happy you stay with Jackson...so many strayed , and you stick with what you know . Cheers !

Of all the cool guitars you see in these I think he may have my favorite collection. So different than anyone else and the looks are just bonkers.

A pleasure to hear him talk about the Rockman amp, designed & built by Tom Scholz of Boston. I have 2 of them.

Rebecca, Do you play guitar? I was wondering because you ask all of the right "guitar" questions. You have a great job being able to interview people like Phil Collen. PG Rocks!

Great collection !

what a great vid, kudos to Phil & Rebecca.

Amazing guitars and awesome guitar player PHIL COLLEN!

I couldn't attend the show but I'm close enough to the fairgrounds where I could hear them play while I was outside for some late-night grilling on deck. The crowd sounded INSANE.

Love a man who loves his gear!

.013 ! damn, he has some steel tipped fingers I guess. Here I am struggling to bend .008s. hahha

I bought his book. Pretty good read. Very stylish guitars. Iconic 80s riffs.

Hes perfect in every way people period his guitar,s are incredible

Phil rocks man. So down to earth!

I’ve noticed the titanium in his guitars. I have those upgrades in my dean Razorback v. The titanium sounds amazing without killing the bottom end. Cleans sounds so crisp and very bellsy and with distortion it sounds amazing too

I ❤️ Phil's Jackson's

I saw Def Leppard at the Bone Bash the weekend before last. The dude was shirtless through the whole set and the MILFs and Cougars in the crowd were going crazy!

Phil's Guitar Tech: Hey Phil, how many Jacksons do you wanna take on the road this tour? Phil: All of them! 😂

Awesome rundown of Phil's rig. I don't like Dimarzio much but Phil knows how to make them sound like heaven

i think this is my 5th time is 3 months watching this video because of the beauty of Phil's guitar. i wish i had one.

Noting that this is a ‘vintage’ interview, Phil Collins is such a nice guy and truly a great example of the best of guitarists. Not afraid of technology and just going for the thing that works for him. Always been one of my favorite guitar heroes. The interviewer was a bit starstruck I think but she handled this much much better than I could have lol.

Nice to see the actual guy instead of the guitar tech, shows he really likes talking about his stuff and knows about his stuff.

Phil looks really fit and healthy. Well researched and presented by Rebecca as usual. Asks all the right questions and lets the interviewees talk!

@nsfr3 Same day, different state. This was at the Iowa State Fair, the stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair.

I've watched a couple of these rig rundowns and Phil is the ONLY one where he actually shows her his rig. All of the other ones are their guitar techs that show them their rig.

What a nice guy Phil is, superb.

Love to hear that he's using the stock JMP-1. Dunno if that remained the case forever, as I've always seen him name-dropped as a Voodoo client, but the fact that he relied on the OG unit onstage even for a little bit is a testament to how sick these units are.

I appreciate when a guitarist that cares enough about his guitars to put thought into a name.

Man those guitars are amazing.

Phil, I bought my son a Xiphos, Ibanez which changes colour red / green, he's colour blind too! He can't see it either! Hehe!.. The Jackson's with the reverse headstocks look awesome! Txs for the rig rundown too!

and Phil... DUDE you really have a GREAT gear and the MOST beautiful guitars \m/

He IS, after all, very dry and British. He also loves multiple places like Illinois, Iowa, Spain, Japan, Australia, Canada and Pennsylvania. Even California where he now resides (30 minutes away from the Jackson Custom Shop).

Phil's got to be one of the most underrated guitarists going, top bloke aswell.

@timeforachange12--- Lmao, this guy has made millions with that right hand technique, you should be so lucky... Why don't we see you on tour making millions?

I love the fact that he still sounds British even though they're in the states so much!

I play a Jackson nothing else, great guitars. Great choice Phil :) See you in Honolulu, HI Oct 20, 2018 a sold out concert.

Full credit for Phil giving us the tour himself!!! Top man!

damn.... those guitar looks so gold...

I love that he gives his own rig tour and not a roadie.

16:09 just finishes face-melting shredding, and then resumes talking so calmly lol

I fucken love Phil Colleen. He looks so excited showing his stuff

Love them PC guitars! Love to have a play of one with its BEEEFY 13s on hah!

life of a rockstar.. damn!

If their is any guitarist other than Neal Schon who nails melodic guitar parts at the drop of a hat & that's Phil "Kenneth" Collen!!!

*Phil is such a nice and humble guy!*

I went for a job interview a couple of years ago, the two Guys that interviewed me looked like Phil Collen and Bobby Charlton. It was a crap job, I turned it down.

Rebecca is always pretty bangin'. Phil seems like a fun guy to hang out with.

Very cool...We love u Phill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saw def just a couple years ago...three-fifths of the band is still ripped and went shirtless most of the night. i was impressed.

"A Randall Power Amp From The 80s that I've probably been using since the 80s" Really

I'm just tuning in for Rebecca! RIP Pete!

@keaulana1 They sound absolutely AWESOME. A friend of mine, who is a doctor, has 3 of them. I got to try them all out and I was just in love with their sound and playability!!!!

YESSS!!!!!!! Best one yet! Besides John Mayers

Met him twice, He's really nice guy. Totally cool!

Jackson's are beautiful guitars,

Def Leppard is awesome! Like AC/DC and Black Sabbath are!

I've bought a couple of Jackson's recently and had them in the past.. I've seen Ibanez and others, but it's Jackson I gravitate towards. I bought 2 used Jacksons off ebay a JS32 Dinky which needs a new bridge and I've Dimarzio's I'll get put in. It's now become my go to guitar.. The other jackson I bought was a Jackson JS32 Kelly.. No doubt I'll swap those pickups out for Dimarzio's.. Dimarzio Tone Zone (bridge) and Air Norton (neck).. I've a Tokai Love Rock which has got Dimarzio Super Distortion (bridge) & Super 2 (neck) both humbuckers coil tapped.

Rockman Amps, I'mma have to look into them !!! All this time I was eyeing Marshalls !!!

When is she coming to do my rig rundown? "Say Guuurl! I have a total stock Epiphone Les Paul and I play on an Ipod on Garageband.". More rundowns with her please!!!

guitar rig 4 nice i like to use it too even though i got valve amps, pedals and mics and everything, but its just so easy with guitar rig 4 just record and you can tune your sound even after you have recorded.

Hey there Phil great 🎸 guitar lesson teacher there.I think that you did an excellent job here at it there!

This really reminded me of watching Spinal Tap when Nigel is showing his guitars to Rob Reiner. Maybe it's just Phil's voice.

@15:38 I think she liked his action

Oh yeah!! Phil is pretty cool too!

Such a nice guy

My favorite guitar is the splatter strat.

That cameleon stain is awesome. Thanks phil. I borrow alot of your technique. Thick picks, strings big necks being my preference.. maybe I never had a choice.

Sustainaaa - :) Phil is great. PC1 - my "dream on" guitar

Phil is such a nice guy

Shows how much I have been out of the loop.. I had no idea Fender acquired Jackson.. I miss my Dinky.. one of my favorite guitars I have owned.. had great feel and sound.. right now I have the MiM Strat plus top rosewood fingerboard and really like it.. but as it is a Strat it isn't really for metal.. so I may give the new Jacksons a look..
