Vio-lence's Phil Demmel ponders state of band following line up changes and Whiskey-A-Go-Go show
Vio-lence performed this past weekend with their new lineup since co-founder and drummer Perry Strickland left or was removed from the band, depending on you who ask. This was the first show with replacement, Adrian Aguilar from Exmortus. You can see video of the performance below.
Also in recent news it was shared that bassist Phil Demmel will also not be making the band's upcoming Asia and Australia dates and that Interloper and ex-Rings Of Saturn member Miles Dimitri Baker will be filling in for Demmel on that stint and when he can not make tours.
Demmel gave a 'State of the Voi-lence' via his Instagram live stream following the shows at Whiskey-A-Go-Go, where around the 7:00 minute mark he admits it is "kind of weird playing these show with Perry gone now" and give a bit of internal perspective on the band. Furthermore he discusses how he is in a "weird spot" right now with the current state of the band and that he is "torn" as to the future of the band and his future with the band and what his role will be.
Demmel also goes on to admit that in a conversation with band vocalist Sean Killian he wanted to "shut it down" (referring the band in general) and that he may have limited to no involvement touring with the band in the future.
Watch the full recorded livestream below.

Post CommentIdk what to think of this. Perry was an intrical part of the band and a fantastic drummer. Might as well put it down, Demmel had a chance with Vio-lence and he's totally shit the bed. What a waste.
Phil doesn't play bass. GET A DAMN EDITOR ALREADY!!!
He's holding a guitar in the picture. Cancel Lambgoat.
I'm pondering this: "Am I gay?" The answer is no, you are.
I am pondering: How many penises do I have to suck to not be gay and is that even a thing?
Do you know the difference between a guitar player and a bass player? Take five seconds and maybe give the 14-year-old girl you're trying to groom off of Instagram a break and do some editing.
Dude who subs for other bands complaining about his own band being full of hired guns. Got it.
Lamb goat is on its mission to become the tmz of extreme music. Cool. Can't wait for your next van flip podcast that gets 70 views
Maybe lurk will post about the soul blind drama tomorrow goo'd night
I know right, all these hired guns sullying the name of a band with one halfway decent non influential album whose biggest claim to fame is being responsible for machine head existing.
I bet someone wishes he had just sucked it up and continued to wear white denim.
There is no secret that Phil is probably making more money doing his moon lighting gigs for other bands right now versus violence. Do a few more shows with the band and call it quits. Time to move on. And by the way lambgoat Phil plays guitar. Cheers 🥂
