PHIL CAMPBELL’s legacy is etched into the very DNA of heavy metal. For over three decades with MOTÖRHEAD, he delivered a guitar style that was raw, unpretentious, and unmistakably powerful; equal parts grit, groove, and attitude. His riffs became the backbone of the band’s late‑era sound, carrying their ferocity into a new generation while honouring the spirit Lemmy built. Campbell’s influence thrives in the countless players who cite his precision, swagger, and true dedication as a blueprint for what a true rock icon looks like.
His blistering riffs can be heard on such MOTÖRHEAD classics as Orgasmatron, Overnight Sensation, Rock Out, Born To Raise Hell and Eat The Rich. He now returns with his own much lauded band, PHIL CAMPBELL & THE BASTARD SONS, which appropriately features his 3 sons – Todd, Tyla and Dane – who are proof positive that genetics play a major role in musical genius.
Joined by new vocalist Julian Jenkins, the band has melted hearts as well as faces with blistering performances at Wacken, Hellfest, Graspop and at European stadiums as support with their most famous fans, Guns N’ Roses. This March will witness the band’s first Australian tour when they deliver a massive set of Motörhead classics.
