DEF LEPPARD Guitarist On MAN-RAZE - "People Ask Me Where I Get The Energy To Do This; You Can Only Sit On The Beach For So Long..." 
Classic Rock Revisited founder
Jeb Wright recently caught up with
DEF LEPPARD guitarist /
MAN-RAZE frontman
Phil Collen to discuss Man-Raze, also featuring
SEX PISTOLS drummer Paul Cook and Collen’s former glam band
GIRL bandmate
Simon Laffy. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Jeb: I can’t wait to see what the reaction (to Man-Raze) is from your fans. You have the
Sex Pistols and
Def Leppard on the same album.
Phil: "As you know, we worked at this for years and when we finally recorded it we found that it had its own sound. When we were in the studio it just popped and it was its own entity."
Jeb: Are you going to play some Sex Pistols when you tour?
Phil: "Yeah, we are going to play some Pistols. We did a thing in Burbank, California a few months ago that was like a documentary by an English film maker – I think it is going to be on VH1. It was a live gig in this sound stage. We were doing versions of the songs so we are going to do that again. We change some of the songs here and there and it is really cool."
Jeb: This sounds like it is a lot of fun for you.
Phil: "It is so much fun. People ask me where I am going to get the energy to do this. You can only sit on the beach for so long – don’t get me wrong because I love doing that too – but after a while you just start dying to record and tour."
