Hi Simon,
As a regular visitor to your site I thought it was about time that I signed your guest book... Firstly,
congratulations on getting married, I wish yourself & the new Mrs Phillips a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Having had the opportunity to meet you and spend a truly amazing 3 days in your company at this years
'Rhythm Course' (Thank you Colin! [Woolway]) was for me a dream come true. As I sit here typing, I work it
out to be about 12 years since I saw a televised broadcast of the 'The Who Live 89' concert, encountering
you for the first time. Since that day you have become a huge influence, not only on my playing but also
my approach to sound engineering, something that I (hopefully) will make a career of. Thank you, I hope
I can return the favour some day.
All the best, Paul. |

out.PLEASE make your way into Philadelphia, they are in bad need of some fusion.

It was a wonderful clinic, in Tilburg on 25/10. I'm a great admirer since I saw and heard you in Bunnik (yes, "De Beesde in Boohnik")in the early eighties. As I'm playing drums for over 25 years now, I was very happy you really elaborated on my question if you were doing anything to prevent your hearing getting damaged. Quite interesting you've never used earplugs! I ventured into jazz long ago to get rid of overenthusiasticly loud playing guitarists...
Keep up your gorgeous playing!
Kind regards, Daan |

My reply would be really late, I know, but its better late than never isn't it? ;) I just read you personal notes. I really would like to thank you and Toto for playing the concert in Jakarta last February 9th. It was my first Toto concert :) and me and my boyfriend were really ejoying the concert. Actually it's been so long time since I want to tell you and the other band members how much I feel and how thankfull I am about the concert. I know it was a long and tiring journey for you and the band to Jakarta, but all of you were doing GREAT during the concert and I really really thank you and other band members for giving us a wonderful concert and a wonderful memory.
Thanks a lot and take care :).

Thank you very much for this extraordinary Clinic Tour 2004. I had the chance to see you in Cologne and you were fantastic. It was the first drum workshop I visited and it was a new experience for me which I enjoyed so much. Apart from the tracks you played, it was very informative because you answered a lot of questions with so much fun, curiosity and knowledge. Btw, I was the one you asked you this interesting question (as you said) about making a jazz album with TOTO, do you remember? Also many thanks for the signing session afterwards. I am always surprised about your patience and kindness when you spent your time with your fans.
Best wishes to you and your family, a lot of success for your musical future and all the best for your wedding!
Kind regards, Christina

Hi Simon,

It was the third time in 2004 that we saw you live. First time it was in Luxembourg, the second time it was in Mainz and the third time in Daun.
Thank you for signed my photo of the concert in Mainz and for the signed another picture for my little son Max.
We wish you all the best and take care.

That was the 3rd time when I saw you in live (summer 2000 Budapest, summer 2004 UK), but probably the most important. Before this eveing I had already realized that you are great on drums. After this evening I also could realize, that you have a very kind personality, you are opened to share with your feelings with us. And what you said about Jeff... You are so so great! Thanks a lot again! Cheers from Hungary! Regards, Gery

| Comments: | Hey Simon,
thanx for that wonderful evening in the "Tränenpalast" in Berlin yesterday. No doubt, it was a fairly extraordinary feeling to have such a great time in a building that (referring to the name and its former purpose) probably caused many tears in German history. Although it was by far not the first time I saw you live it is always a pleasure to enjoy your explosive and mind-crushing performance and style. And besides the drumming, you surely could have made it in the comedy business as well because I think everybody had to laugh about your funny stories and experiences with Toto and others! And finally one more thing: What I like the most is that you - despite your big success all over the world - still remained the chummy "drummer next door" who´s just comming around to tell and show us the latest tricks and to let us have part in his outstanding talent.
Thanx again, keep on rocking (we´re expecting the new Toto album :-)) and see you next time!

Simon I've been a fan since I first heard you on Gary Moore's 'Back On The Streets' and Judas Priest's 'Sin After Sin'.
Seems like ages ago now! I've been fortunate enough to see you play both at clinics and with TOTO. Being a fellow Londoner I'll
always hold you in high esteem for your precise and tastful playing. I'm a bit out of the touch with the drumming world at the
moment but it's great to know you're still out there givin' it some!! Thanks for the inspiration Simon. Be happy, be healthy!

Good to see you are still slammin' the skins. I have been using a rolled-up towel in my bass drum for years based on one of
your instructional videos I watched in the 1980's. During a studio session (working with student engineers) one student asked
how I discovered the towel idea because my bass drum sounded so good in the recording. I told him Simon Phillips. He said,
"who?" After versing the Simon Phillips discography he figured out who Simon Phillips is. I would love to see you come to
Ohio and do a clinic -- I have never seen you play live. After reading other guests comments I feel I am really missing out.
Hope to see you soon! Be safe. |

A bit late this message but here goes. Went to see Toto at RAH and took my 14yr old grandaughter (whom I've been teaching
for the last 18mths) to her first Rock Concert.Suffice to say you gained another fan.Not surprising really as I've been
playing for 46yrs and you still manage to leave awestruck at times.Great concert,brilliant solo.Thanks for a great night.
PS-That Steve guy wasn't bad either. |

Hi Sir Drummer...I've just come back from your clinc @ Blue Note in Milan...my parents and some friends of my are still asking
me 'bout the show, and my answer is "I've got no words at the moment...."...and it's the true: I've been waiting for 3
years to see you playnig live (unfortunately, last july I couldn't come in Brescia and Modena because of the university)...
and this afternoon one of my dreams has became true! You were distant a few meters from me, and I could see everything
(I was upstairs on your rightside)....I really appreciate the simplicity of your explaining, the helpfulness in answering
the questions...it may seem strange to you, but we've really appreciated your readiness in keepin the time when you've lost
your earphones (doublebass settles always any problem!)...thank you so much for your example of perfect drumming and for being
a wonderful person and musician...hope to see you soon (and hope to see you on www.drumsportal.com forum)...god bless you
With affection
Ale

I have heard you playing with "The Who". As an old fan of this famous group of my youth, it is not easy to top the style of Keith Moon. But I must honestly say that you have interpretated the songs very soulful and at the same time in a new fresh way. My compliments!

to drums essentially. Having heard you 10 years ago playing live in a tent nearby Darmstadt (after Roger Chapman) I was
electrified by your style. Talking about you we respectfully talk about "Holy Simon" and mean it. I listened carefully
to your arrangements and well: you´re not just an amazing drummer but also a good composer/arranger. And: you can
tell/feel if Santana or Gary Moore with their special sounds are involved in a song. The same happens when you hit the
drums. Beside Bozzio you´re the only one I recognize at any time in any song. That´s great. Thank you for being around for
such a long time and inspiring musicians as well as influencing music itself !

I saw you play last Friday night At Chastain Park in Atlanta. You guys sounded great, and your solo was awesome. I especially
liked the part in your solo where you were showcasing your 4 way interdependence and you had one rhythm going with your left
hand on your Octobans, and your feet and right hand were off doing something else. Your dynamics were great too, how you
would go from real quiet to real loud and fast. Anyway, I thought the band sounded great too.

Hi Simon. Just bought the Amsterdam DVD and was absolutely blown away. You were brilliant. Jeff would have most certainly
approved.

| Comments: | now i stuck for about 1 hour in the general drummers faq. and every answer to playing questions was about the mental process of FEELING, not thinking. i really belive in this form of approach. gary chester wrote about that kind of mental state. thank you both for making that clear to me.
music!

Anyway, your amazing versitility and your ambidexterity are legendary.
I hope to hear more from you for years to come!!

| Comments: | I just wanted to tell you, Simon, I was a big fan of Toto way back when, but when Jeff died, I lost track of the group. A couple weeks ago I discovered the 25th anniversary DVD. I had no idea Toto was even touring. My first thought was, "who did they get to replace Jeff?". When I saw it was you, I bought the DVD without hesitation. I watched it today and my expectations were met, and then some. Awesome performance, sir. Your technique, especially on the toms, is second to none. Even better than when I heard you with the Who. Wish I could make my Tama's sound like that. Rock on!!

who can play his butt off, it's you, ONLY you.....you rule! Jeez, you made my jaw drop to the ground, amazing!
Have fun on the road and please take care of yourself!

it was a very amazing show you did on July 03,2004 in Osnabruck!! It was the first TOTO concert for me and it was the best concert I've ever seen.
It was a great day for me, not only because of the show, but as well because of the sign-session at "Musik Produktiv". I hope that you
will remember me because I have given the cd of my band to you !! (i hope you'll mail your estimation)
Finally a very big THANK YOU!!

| Comments: | Mr. Phillips, Was wondering what had become of you, not having heard anything since the Who in '89. I
remember listening to the Radio City show live from that tour, and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up. Thanks for having brought back life to
their sound on that tour. Did you part ways with them on good terms. Not my busines, but if you care to elaborate...
Have you seen Zak since he took over the seat? At the Garden in '00, the last of 4 shows was quite outstanding. If you've seen them from that point on, what
are your impressions of his playing? I thought you captured the Moon style, but more disciplined and technically refined, yet with more energy and attack
then I'd ever heard Kenny Jones display. No offense to Jones, I just never thought he was a good fit for them. Zak on the other hand does a fine job, having
come along quite a bit from the '96 tour, and doing a great job playing in the Moon tradition. I wouldn't hesitate to say that he emmulates Keith, because
that is what the Who needed, and if you're going to emmulate someone, whilst in this case never duplicating, I'd think that a compliment. As they say,
imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Good luck with your continued endeavors. That you're now sitting at the former throne of Jeff Porcaro is
further testament to your skills. Cheers.

You blew my mind at a clinic at West LA Music in the 80s, and later I had the pleasure of meeting you back in about 1997 at the Club Caprice (formerly the Strand) in Redondo Beach CA, when my former band Reflection opened for you (playing with Dave Pack and friends). You are a drum god and I just wanted to thank you for your graciousness. You were so kind, approachable and friendly! You took a picture with me and even complimented my drum kit's finish (Ludwig Classic Charcoal Shadow)! Of course, you playing was/is unmatched. Thank you so much for the thrill of a lifetime.

| Comments: | You've been on the top of my favorite drummer list for at least 2 decades. The video for "Give Blood" was an inspiration. Effortless, yet HUGE!! It's my "going-home-try not to get aggrevated with traffic" song. Only problem is, I need to hold the steering wheel. Good thing, since watching that video, I learned to play just as good with both hands. Now if I can only solve the double-bass brake pedal/accelerator problem... Hey! Get out of the street, Knucklehead! Sorry about that!

| Comments: | Hi Simon,
I must be honest.. I had no idea who you were as of a year ago. I had heard Toto before but only Studio tracks with Jeff Picaro. I have a friend from LA who use to play in a band that covered Toto tunes. He picked up the 25th anniversery DVD last summer and introduced me to the band for the first time. In an effort to keep this short I just want to say that I feel your drumming is great. There are not many drummers out there that have the ability to play for the song and still stand out. Most drummers try to do too many things at once and end up ruining the groove. You have a very sneeky and subtle way of playing complicated licks, but making it sound fluid while still keeping the groove. You are a big influence on my drumming and you will continued to be... Toto should play somewhere soon in Atlantic Canada or US!! I will be there if it is close enough to home.
Thanks for reading...
Jonathan

We met at Viña del Mar Festival, Chile. We were talking for very long at the Casino's Bar. I'm the girl that told your assistant that he looked like Ozzy....So, my travel to Sweden has been confirmed, you told me that TOTO will have some shows in Europe next June and July. I really hope to have the opportunity to meet you again, my boyfriend and I felt very lucky to meet you and your friends in Chile, we could realise you are a very ordinary guy, your stories about your experiences playing with musicians like Page, Clapton, the Who, etc. were full of emotions. Hope to hearing from you again.
Alejandra
PS: I told the girl that was with me at the Press Conference (Entel PCS tight pants)about your interest in meeting her...she laughed.

| Comments: | Simon, I'm glad to hear that you are doing well with your health. I've seen you at the casino in Connecticut a few times. I've managed to get as close to the drum kit as legally possible, and without seming like a stalker! Your playing is so much fun to watch, especially so close and away from the stage sound. We've met a few times! You signed my extremely outdated Tama poster from 1990? Anyway I told you this in person and I'll tell you again, if it was'nt for you I probably would have given up on drums(and maybe been a rich guitar player?!?). There are some fills that you've done, or still do, that I just can't figure out. Or that catch me by surprise. Or that make me laugh out loud! It's just been the most fun listening to you, I have many tapes from the tour with The Who(one of my favorite bands ever!). Your playing was amazing and it got better as the tour went on(which obviously makes sense!)And I have become quite a fan of Toto largely due to your presence there. Along with watching you, I got a real kick out of your bass player Mike P.. He is a much different player than John Entwistle. Seeing you play with either of those guys was such a treat. You guys really sound great these days.It must be fun to be in a band where you all seem to be growing and improving as the years go on. Also, we have something in common;I saw you drop a stick at B.B Kings in NYC! My fiance turned to me and said flatly, "Now you have something in common with him."And I thought all this time it was my great playing! Stay healthy and come back to Mohegian Sun, we miss you!

| Comments: | Dear Simon,
Ages ago you recorded two albums with Jack Bruce (and Tony Hymas and Hughie Burns), "How's Tricks" recorded/released 1977, and "Jet Set Jewel" recorded 1978, finally released last year. "Jet Set Jewel" was well worth the wait (great songs, superb arrangements, beautifully played, eclectic stuff) and to me the stuff you played on these two are up with your best work, especially at such a young age (along with "Empty Glass"/"White City" - Townshend, "Smallcreeps Day" -Rutherford, and "There and Back" - Beck) from that era.
Yeah, ages ago I know, but very influential.
Thanks for all this and heaps of other stuff since....I know logistics are a huge problem, but I'm still hopeful you guys can make the trek down to Oz sometime.
All the best for your health and happiness.
Cheers,
Andy

Throughout my career as a drummer, many people have mistaken me for you!
We kinda look alike, so I'm told, and althought I would never put myself in the same league as yourself, I did dedicate my life to drums and practiced as much as anyone.
I would love to finally meet you some day, I respect and have always loved your musicianship, quality and ability to create great art.
Thanks, and keep it up.

Last night (at the Casino, Viña del Mar) TOTO had a fantastic show, including your amazing solo. The band just sounds great.
As I told you at the bar after the show (I'm the guy who told you that has followed your career since 801), it was an honour for me to just shake your hand.
Hope you come back pretty soon.
Carlos.

Thank you for all the great music you bring to our ears. In times like this where casting shows rule the music market it is a pleasure to see that there are still real, hard working musicians in this world. Especially here in Germany we have to suffer from the illness of music mass production; music without heart and soul. But you are one of the few guys, who make music with heart and soul; not only for the money but fpr the happieness it brings. Thank you for being an inspiration for me and my own band.

I saw one antwerp notp show on tv. Ricky Lawson was groovy but, you're more the toto drummer. You drum toto songs much better than him so that was a pity.
On 15th of february 2003 i was at Zwolle ijsselhallen(the town I live) the toto concert was great. I was 13 and it was my first toto concert, and then that night I became a bigger toto fan,THANKS. So I hope too see you soon. In holland

| Comments: | I'm not even sure if Simon reads these but he is still one of my top favorite drummers. He is an unselfish and humble musician who will take on any task that is given to him. For instance, a friend of mine let me borrow a cd called Lion King: Rhythm of the Pride Lands and while this may sound like a child's cd, it features some great drumming. After listening to the funky drums on the track "He Lives in You" I became motivated to find out who did the drumming. I figured that Disney would just hire some no-name drummer to do the project but I looked into it and Simon's name came up. I was extremelly pleased. Whether it's his virtuostic chops from Force Majeure or his groovy time-keeping on Michael Dowdle's "Soulmate" (I suggest checking out all three of these cd's), Simon is still one of my favorites to listen to and he will remain on my top drummer's list. Thanks for all of the great music and inspiration.

| Comments: | hey simon
now i have the DVD Live in Amsterdam too. FANTASTIC. And i found an DVD, from the TV Show " Ohne Filter" i think it was 1992 with Steve Lukather and the Lobotomys. WOW. I like the songs from the Candyman CD, and now i have seen how you play these songs. You are a great and fantastic musician.
thanx for the music you give :-)

| Comments: | Simon, I'm happy to know you'll be back to the tour in February.
Oh, also I saw the "Don't Step Into It" from "Pete York's Super
Drumming"(DVD). Your groove and improvisation were really great.
I thought it looked like the "Doves of Fire" world. I hope to see it again
here. (with your talking :-))
Take care, Michelle

| Comments: | Just saw the latest toto concert live in Amsterdam. I was (as always) surprised about the way you created the perfect rythm, and drumsounds.
I wish you all the best, and hopefully one day i get to see you live.
