FROM MOTORHEAD:
Lil' Philthy...he who once shouted 'stop wincing about' on an album...he
who fueled many a young boy's punk/metal hairstyles...he who played the
drums with fury and intent...he who liked to call people 'wazzocks'
once in a while...friend, Roman, Derbyshireman...rest in peace...with
much love...
FROM OZZY OSBOURNE:
Just heard about Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor's passing. It's a terrible
terrible loss. He was a great friend - great drummer - a great guy and
he will be dearly missed. Today is a very sad day for me. Rest in peace -
and he still owes me 500 bucks from that time in Vegas.
FROM MARK HOWITT:
RIP to perhaps the pioneer of the double kick bass drum technique, Phil
"Philthy Animal" Taylor. When this song came out, the speed was unheard
of, paving the way for modern metal drumming and influencing some of the
earliest thrash and punk bands
FROM LEMMY KILMISTER:
"Hello this is Lemmy from Motörhead. I'm feeling very sad at the moment,
in fact devastated because one of my best friends died yesterday. I
miss him already. His name was Phil Taylor, or Philthy Animal, and he
was our drummer twice in our career. Now he's died and it really pisses
me off that they take somebody like him and leave George Bush alive. So
muse on that. We're still going, we're still going strong, it's just
first Würzel and now Philthy, it's a shame man. I think this rock n roll
business might be bad for the human life. Oh well."
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
