Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen has recorded a song with Pearl Jam member Mike McCready and The Young Evils.
Guitarist Mike McCready started a new record label for vinyl and digital releases late last year called Hockey Talkter Records.
He has been working with a band signed to the label called The Young Evils and played on their B-Side cover of 'Bringin' On The Heartbreak' which doesn't seem to have been released yet.
According to an article by The Seattle Times they recorded a song with Phil and are trying to get the rights to release it.
The Young Evils last release was a 6 song EP called 'False Starts'.
Mike started out in a Lep like band called Shadow in the early 80s and has talked about how he went to Lep's Seattle show in 1983 and tried to get their autographs.
Phil has of course also recorded with another 90s music legend with Robert Deleo of Stone Temple Pilots now a member of Delta Deep.

"She was followed by The Young Evils, whose Hockeytalkter single includes a cover of Def Leppard's "Bringin' on The Heartbreak," with McCready sitting in. They also recorded another song with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen - but McCready is waiting for the rights to release that."
