The Desert Sun - Phil Collen Interview Quote
"Obviously there's a big difference between us and a lot of other band that are part of the retro-resurgence thing going on. We never went away," he pointed out in a recent phone interview. “We were always putting records out. I think we're a lot more valid in that regard."
"Aerosmith, on a bigger scale, has also done the same thing. They had a bit of an Indian summer or part two and part three in their case. I like to think we've done something along those lines. Our past few tours have been selling out like the '80s. It's ridiculous."
