Man Raze New Phil Collen Interviews
Phil Collen was interviewed recently by a number of online magazines promoting the "Surreal" album. Phil spoke to Glam Metal in late June and Punk TV in July - highlights below. Phil reveals the band did plan to open one of the shows with Def Leppard in the US before Joe's illness.
Glam Metal - Interview Exerts
"The thing with Def Leppard is that it has to be a certain way. With Manraze, I could go where I really couldn't go with Def Leppard. It was really very inspirational."
So what do the other members of Def Leppard think of ManRaze?
They love it. Joe was pretty much around when we recorded it because we were at his house recording it. He would keep coming down and check it out. Ever since I started ManRaze, I would ask Joe for his opinion. He sort of turned out to be our A & R guy.
Now with Def Leppard currently on tour, did you ever consider having ManRaze open and you doing double duty?
"It was suggested. We were going to do one show like that, but then we all got sick. But yeah, if we were to do it, it would have to be in the states, because it's a lot easier. It's just too hard to do that in Europe with all of the traveling. On this tour that we are currently on, it's really been a nightmare. We have missed flights and a lot of flights have been delayed. But if we were traveling on a bus we could do something like that."
Are there tour plans for ManRaze after the Def Leppard tour?
"Yes, a month period in September, most likely east coast dates in America. It should be a lot of fun."
Punk TV - Interview Exerts
"There are 12 tracks, and there were a few more we were working on that never got quite finished."
"The actual recording part we did back in 2006, and it was between tours and right now we actually just finished up doing a TV documentary, and hopefully we're going to get something out in September."
