Guitarist - Phil Collen/Vivian Campbell Interview Quotes

New Def Leppard Album Recording

Phil - "It was a joy. One of the great things was, we did it in three sections. It was a bit like The Stones, when they were at Muscle Shoals for two days and did Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. You didn't get bogged down."

Guitars

Vivian - "How many guitar tracks go on a Leppard tune?. More than I can count on my hands. But it's not the same on every song. You take a song like Man Enough: there's barely any guitars on that. Other songs, like Let's Go, there'd be a load of guitars."

Phil - "What was great about this album is that we knew when to stop. This was the first album we've done where we didn't get confused in the studio. It was different when Mutt was recording us, because he was a genius, and he'd go 'Okay, let's try this' - and it usually worked."
