News Herald - Phil Collen Interview Quotes
Current Def Leppard Album
"We normally painstakingly struggled through that process, but the fact there was no record company, no real agenda attached to it - it allowed for pure artistic expression. I think the success of the album is there’s integrity there. Certainly when we recorded it, it was just a blast."
Staying Young
"I think that’s the one good thing about aging is music is like a fountain of youth. I’m more active now than I was at 25."
