Rockline 2013 - Interview Highlights
Kelly from Las Vegas, NV - "And you had mentioned that you enjoyed it so much that you may come back and I was wondering if there might possibly be a Pyromania residency in the future?."
Phil - "Well that would be the obvious choice but I can't even play guitar. I can't even do my fly's up at the moment. I've got an injured hand so I'm out of action for a while so it would be good though, yes. Maybe next year or something."
Ed from Swansea, MA - "Are you guys putting any plans together to put an EP together for next year and another album?."
Phil - "Yes we are we've actually been talking about that. We're actually gonna get some ideas together and we're gonna start recording - probably January actually. So yeah and you know we're gonna try and do an album but we won't finish it cause we're Def Leppard but we'll probably get an EP out of it for sure."
Cindy from Mesquite, TX - "I know while you were in Vegas in addition to the filming that was done for this VIVA! Hysteria release you had a camera crew basically following you're every move while you were there for perhaps an upcoming docu-series and last I heard it had actually been pitched to the networks. And I was wondering if you had any status on that and if it actually is going to see the light of day on TV. And if for some unfortunate reason it does not will it see a DVD release at some time in the future?."
Phil - "Well we have cameras - actually we've got cameras in here at the moment. We have cameras following us all the way all the time cause it makes us feel special. We did. We recorded everything and even more actually so yeah that's the idea. I'm not - we still haven't got any idea of when that's gonna come out. But it will surface at some point for sure."
