Rock stars' reaction to Phil Campbell's death Mikkey Dee (Motörhead) "We got the news this morning, and it’s so extremely sad, about the sudden passing of my brother and dear friend, Phil Campbell. He was the funniest guy I have ever known and the best rock guitar player I have ever played with. His vibe and feel for rock music were outstanding. We wrote 12 studio albums together, and he never stopped surprising me with his extreme talent. Most of all, I will miss hanging out with the nicest guy you could ever meet." My family and I send our thoughts to Phil’s family. I truly wish them all the best for the future, and I will be right here if they ever need anything. Sleep well, my friend and rock soldier. Say hi to Lemmy, Würzel, Filthy and Eddie. I am sure you’ll be a crazy gang hanging out together again!" Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) "So sad to hear of the passing of Phil Campbell yesterday. Motorhead have done a lot of tours over the years with Sabbath. He was a really nice guy and we had some great times together. He will be sadly missed," Tony Iommi said. Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) "Sad to hear of the passing of Phil Campbell. We had some fun times when we toured together back in the day. A truly nice man with a wicked sense of humour. Many a laugh was had on that tour, especially when he arrived at a gig in full make-up, skirt and blouse! RIP Phil, say hi to Lemmy [please don’t wear the skirt though]!" Geezer Butler said. Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) "My friend Phil Campbell is gone. Sending my thoughts and love to his family. He and I recently spoke about our health issues. Sadly, he succumbed to his. Midler will miss you, old friend. Glad we got to show our stuff together on “These Old Boots”. Say hi to Lemmy for me….," he said. Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) My heart goes out to the Campbell family and Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons. Phil is one of the most kind and FUNNY humans out there and made the world a better place. Period. I will miss you my friend and I still owe you a prank! This is heartbreaking man," he said. Frank Bello (Anthrax) "So sorry to hear about the passing of Phil Campbell.. We’ve done many tours together through the years and I always loved his playing and sense of humor. Always had the best stories that made your day. One of my favorite times with Phil was going to the pub next door during a Motörhead show he was playing while the drum solo was happening. We had a quick drink and he made it back just in time. Good times.. Rest in peace my friend-say hi to Lemmy..," he said. Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) "Phil Campbell rest in peace my friend, a fucking legend. Thank you for the great guitar playing and the amazing times on the road, love you! 👊🏻🤘🏻❤️ Condolences to the family, friends and fans," he said.
