[Pinned] AT PHIL DEMMEL'S REQUEST, MACHINE HEAD TO CONTINUE TOUR
September 15, 2009 11:48:54 PM UTC Post #1

As taken from the offical Machine Head site:
"All of us here in Machine Head wish to extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the Demmel family for their tragic loss of Harry W. Demmel. Flying home today to grieve with his family and celebrate the life of his father, Phil has asked that Machine Head continue on in his absence for what will most likely be the remainder of the Black Crusade tour.
Says singer Robb Flynn, "Phil was adamant about us continuing on. We didn't think it would be possible, but a lot of the guitar players on the tour rallied around Phil last night and volunteered to help out on guitar duties. We really can't thank them all enough. Adam and I spent most of our day off today teaching Corey and Matt from Trivium, Christopher from Arch Enemy, and Fredrique the bassist of Dragonforce the set. They will all be playing various songs throughout the rest of the tour".

As I said in the other thread
Condolences to Phil, what a legend to be so strong and play the next day. Respect man, you truly are brilliant and Rest In Peace Harry W. Demmel.
I feel sorry for him and his family, I  extend my deepest sympathies. I really do.
Not sounding shallow but yes, I must admit, the guest guitaring will be interesting although the circumstance under which it's happened is horrible
Rest In Peace HARRY W. DEMMEL
