Music Radar - Vivian Campbell Interview Quotes
Worst Gig Journey
"Two car rides, one very long flight, two trains and a broken elevator. All to get from Los Angeles to northern Germany in the middle of winter to play one three-minute song on a crappy TV show. Utter shite!."
Def Leppard Tour Rider
"The Def Leppard rider is sumptuous, with organic veggies and expensive wines, and so on. Leppard play in big sold-out arenas around the world and as we have a couple of vegans, two meat-eaters and one in-betweeny (me), we have a very complex and detailed rider."
Favourite Venue?
"Fortunately, there have been very, very many. A real standout from the past, however, was the old Glasgow Apollo. The balcony used to bounce – it was equally frightening and fascinating to watch this while on stage. Alas, they tore it down."
