Phil Collen Quotes
"Def Leppard has a break in September. We'll be doin' a bunch of TV things on the East Coast..."
"We had all these songs that were slightly different like the thing we did with Tim McGraw ("Nine Lives") and "Go". Everyone brought in these different ideas, but they all kinda worked. We'd done it very quickly for a Def Leppard album, really. So that was kinda exciting."
"...the Def Leppard tour just got extended. We just got Southeast Asia, South America, India... ...It's been really great."
Steve Clark - "I was obviously very upset about it, but I was also very bummed because he had been taken away so young. It was like 'Oh my God. This just isn't the same anymore'. We carried on because we'd already written all those songs with Steve and we just went on. The album came out, went to number one and we just carried on from there, really."

It's not clear if Phil was referring to Def Leppard for the TV stuff or Man Raze. Probably Lep including their taping of "Crossroads" for CMT in October.
