Summary

Today I sit down with an old friend Mr Phil Demmel guitarist and songwriter of Vio-lence and formally of Machine Head.

I wanted to have Phil on years ago but it just didn't happen for reason you will hear on this episode.

Phil comes from the old school Bay Area Thrash Metal Scene and has some amazing stories from those days.

We talk Slayer, Metallica, Machine Head, Vio-lence and the early San Francisco days.

Thanks for tuning in and remember to keep the Candles Lit.
