Phil Collen ......

[rjohnstone]

Wow, he really does look like Rod Stewart there ! About the hair, or lack thereof ......... I heard somewhere that Rick Savage's contract states that he's entitled to 67% of all the hair in the band. With Viv there, that only leaves so much for the other guys.

:ROTF:
Good one.
But Sav cut most of his off already, so I guess Viv took over the big hair role.

Great player live...could live without the hair vest though. Unless we're still in the 80's...I never know.

Coming from a fat guy, i always crack up when others comment about
someone being "in shape" . Well yes...but its mostly that he is 5' 4"
and 130lbs! Now George Lynch is in shape for an old dude!

Phil IS "in shape".
The guy is a fitness nut and a total vegan.



Like I said before... I could only wish to be in that kind of shape when I hit 50.
But I hate exercise and I like my steak.

Ha ha, nice post! :ROTF:

I appreciated your original post too, it was obviously joking.

I just noticed he turns 50 today, december 8th. Happy birthday, Phil!

Phil is a great guy and one of the reasons I started playing guitar. Or at least started playing shirtless anyways...

What's the Les Paul he uses for "Armageddon It" on the Visualize live DVD? Is it a Jackson?

[fullmetalguitar]

I've met Phil twice at NAMM and both times he was super nice. He is the reason I started playing. It was Photograph and the video that made me want to be a rock star. I wanted an Ibanez just like his! Never got it. Luckily Phil started playing Jacksons.

I haven´t seen that vid in ages, but I seem to remember a natural-finished LP that I believe is a Gibson.

Yeah it is natural finished, I thought the headstock looked a little different to normal Gibson ones and, given his love for Jacksons, wondered if he maybe had a Jackson Les Paul.

Great guy, great guitars. Here are some pics from a NJ show years and years ago. Its an honor to own some of his personal guitars, and have him borrow 1 for the X tour.
