* NamesTheSame: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in his review of [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Music From Another Dimension]], when he noticed two songs have the names of "[[Music/{{Chickenfoot}} Oh Yeah]]" and "[[Music/VanHalen Can't Stop Lovin' You]]". This prompted him to ask whether Aerosmith have been raiding [[RunningGag Sammy Hagar's]] discography for song titles.

Phillip Pickard, better known as '''Midnight Phil''', was an internet personality who wrote, voice acted and blogged. However, he was mainly known for hosting a VideoReviewShow which focused mainly on HardRock bands such as Music/VanHalen, Music/{{Aerosmith}} and many others. Despite being a CausticCritic at times, he could be very positive and praise the works he was reviewing. He's was also [[{{Keet}} extremely hyper]] and [[LargeHam over the top]] in his videos.

* BerserkButton: ''[[Music/VanHalen Van Halen III]]''.
* CausticCritic: While Phil often focused on the positive aspects of what he reviewed, this happened so often that he [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded it]] during his review of [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Music From Another Dimension]].
--> ''(on Aerosmith's "Out Go The Lights")'' You see, I'm not always a curmudgeon! Now THIS is good stuff!
* ImagineSpot: Used these as a RunningGag to create comedic versions of how some bands come up with their songs.
* InsultToRocks: On Aerosmith's "We All Fall Down":
--> Music/{{Coldplay}} would be embarrassed to release something as creatively bankrupt as this banile lump of saccharine chord progression!
* {{Keet}}: Phil himself.
** He also voiced [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Joey Kramer]] and [[Music/VanHalen Michael Anthony]] as this.
* NamesTheSame: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in his review of [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Music From Another Dimension]], when he noticed two songs have the names of "[[Music/{{Chickenfoot}} Oh Yeah]]" and "[[Music/VanHalen Can't Stop Lovin' You]]". This prompted him to ask whether Aerosmith have been raiding [[RunningGag Sammy Hagar's]] discography for song titles.
* RunningGag: Had a few.
** ''[[Music/VanHalen Van Halen III]]''. Crossed over with BerserkButton.
** There was usually a reference or TakeThat to Sammy Hagar at some point.
** Was fond of using an ImagineSpot to create comedic versions of how certain songs were created.
** Liked playing the songs over things he felt appropriate and did this for songs he liked and disliked.
* ScareChord: In an ImagineSpot in his review of [[Music/{{Chickenfoot}} Chickenfoot III]], this played when Michael Anthony was shocked by a discovery of Sammy Hagar's.
* TakeThat: Like any internet reviewer, he liked to use this quite a lot.
** He compared Van Halen with Sammy Hagar to being a sequel InNameOnly. Cue the [[MemeticMutation infamous]] "[[BigOMG OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD]]" from ''Film/{{Troll 2}}''.
** After he called Michael Anthony one of the few truly charismatic bass players in rock & roll, we cut to a picture of Kip Winger being pushed aside for a picture of Michael Anthony.
** Described the opening riff to Aerosmith's "Legendary Child", which he calls the "cheesiest thing I've ever hear", as something which belongs in a ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' title screen.
** Two when talking about Aerosmith's "We All Fall Down". The first stating that Music/{{Coldplay}} [[InsultToRocks would be embarrassed to release]] "something as creatively bankrupt" as that song and the second being that it sounds like the music that plays over Creator/TheCW trailers.
* TemptingFate: Declared "Legendary Child" to be "one of the worst singles Aerosmith have ever released!". And then comes "What Could Have Been Love".
* VideoReviewShow
