Phil Collen - 25th February 2015 Interview Quote - Read More
"No this album we actually didn't intend on doing an album. We were actually going to do like two songs or something like en EP or something. In January last year we actually - while we were getting these two songs done we came up with another 12. So there's gonna be 14 songs on the album. And we didn't expect that. So we had another session in May where we all went over there. And then the next one was - Vivian couldn't make all of that because of you know the health stuff. But he was with me just a couple of weeks ago. So he's back and finished all of his stuff off as well."

"You know we started this about - literally a year ago in January. And initially it was just gonna be like a track or a single. Or you know just something like that and we got 12 songs together in a four week period. Which is totally unheard of with Def Leppard."

"And speaking of 23 years. I just got back from Dublin last night. I've spent the last month recording with the band and we just finished up a new studio record. And I've gotta say it's the best album Def Leppard has done in the 23 years I've been a part of the band. Yeah it's been great because it's a diverse record and - but it's also got the rock element that we really wanted to capture."
