Music Radar - Phil Collen Interview Quotes
Download Festival 2009
"But I think the best one might be when we headlined the Download Festival in 2009. It was just one of those gigs where all the stars lined up beautifully."
Wichita, KS 1992
"Only problem that night was, my guitar wasn't turned on. I was playing, but nobody could hear me. We all just looked at each other like, 'Oh, shit, what do we do?' Rick didn't know where to start, and so the crew guys just kind of yanked the ropes up whenever, totally in the wrong place, exposing us like a bunch of deer in the headlights. We just kind of trainwrecked into the song. It was a mess."
