Rockpages.gr did an exclusive face to face interview in Birmingham with MACHINE HEAD'S guitarist Phil Demmel. Heere's an excerpt of this interview:
Rockpages.gr: Are you hungry for a headline show?
Phil Demmel:
Oh yeah man! I am trapping at the bit to it! I wanna play two hours man! I wanna go out there! And I see these guys (Metallica) do it every night… They practice a tune they haven’t played in ten years, and they go out and play it. I love that man! I respect the shit out of that! I wanna do that! I wanna play the long set, go out there and play… I’m tired of playing the same six fucking songs for the past two years… I wanna mix it up…
Rockpages.gr: Is there any advantage of being a support act?
Phil Demmel:
Yeah, absolutely, that’s why we’ve been doing it! Playing in front of people that a) never heard of us, or b) have heard of us, heard others, but haven’t seen us. Ever since I joined this band we headlined, up until this run, this cycle. And, we were preaching at the converted; people who have already seen us, and they’ve seen the show. But, now we’re playing to all these new fans. This is what you need to do to grow as a band…
