MACHINE HEAD's PHIL DEMMEL Featured In 'Jackson Speed Round' (Video)

MACHINE HEAD guitarist Phil Demmel puts his “shred” skills to the test in this latest round of “Jackson Speed Round”.

Any bets on the one celebrity he would freak out to meet? Or what his guilty-pleasure album might be?

Watch and learn, and laugh along…

MACHINE HEAD‘s latest track, “Is There Anybody Out There?”, cracked the Top 40 on the Active Rock chart in the United States last August. It marked the first time any Nuclear Blast artist has entered what is widely considered to be the “official rock chart” for the United States, and only the the third time the band had charted in the Top 40 in their illustrious career.

MACHINE HEAD last year wrapped up the tour cycle for its first Nuclear Blast Entertainment album, “Bloodstone & Diamonds”, where the band toured for twenty months and performed a whopping 283 concerts on five different continents around the world. Around 250 of those shows were performed as “An Evening With MACHINE HEAD,” with no support bands and performances often lasting two and a half to three hours. Three tours of the United States, three tours of Europe, (including multiple dates in Russia and Greece), shows in Mexico and South America, a completely sold-out run of nine Australian / New Zealand shows, sold-out dates in Japan,and their first-ever plays in Taiwan and Thailand, and all without any festival performances which the band publicly announced they would stop performing at in 2014.

“Bloodstone & Diamonds” debuted at No. 21 on The Billboard 200 chart with 19,000 sold its first week.
