Phil Collen - Life In Six Strings Quotes

Kylie Olsson - "Now I could lose myself in this room for hours but..."

Phil Collen - "Alright. So these are some of the ones I've been using. I'm recording all the time so that's it, and I obviously dug some other ones out. That's my first guitar."

Kylie - "You are kidding. I've heard about this guitar, your first ever. OK how old were you when you got this one?."

Phil - "16. I pestered my Mum and Dad for two years after I went to a Deep Purple concert when I was 14."

Kylie - "Everywhere on the web when you look, it says you on the back cover of the Made In Japan. Is that true?."

Phil - "I think so yeah."

Kylie - "Have you ever met Ritchie Blackmore."

Phil - "Yeah and I had a great experience and talking of that yeah. The reason I got this, which was my 21st birthday present from my Mum, was because that's what Richie Blackmore used to play in one of its reincarnations. It had like a Demarzio super distortion and this was the main guitar for Hysteria."

"So a lot of the stuff you hear on there is this guitar. Yeah and actually got a pic of him jamming with us and I'm playing a Les Paul and he's playing this."


Kylie Olsson - Life In Six Strings Quotes

"Full episode airing on Monday on AXS TV. Phil Collen shows me his collection, we go swimming, we explore the Fender Factory and so much more."

"Seeing how guitars are made at the Fender factory was one of the greatest moments in my life."

"Seeing these beautiful instruments being created from start to finish was something else on top of being shown around by Phil Collen."

"I also got to take a peek at Phil’s new Official Jackson Guitars being made. You can watch all this and more on Monday on AXSTV."
