The Telegraph - Phil Collen Interview Quotes

Dangerous Promo Video

“Shooting it was so different to how videos used to be, when the label used to lend you a fortune and you have to pay it back."

"Guitar Hero is a new medium, and a new way of doing it; you can actually play the game over the video. We’re always up for anything new and getting our stuff out there."

Online Music Streaming

"I’ve got Apple Music, I think it’s amazing. However, I think it’s the end of music as we bought it. It’s changed everything, it’s changed music and how we get it, and it’s stopped people buying music."
