Jack Antonio conducted an interview with DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen on the February 2 episode of "Do You Know Jack?" radio show on Insane Realm Radio. You can now listen to the chat using the Mixcloud player below.Collen told Artisan News that DEF LEPPARD was scheduled to enter the studio on February 1 to begin work on the follow-up to 2008's "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge"."I saw Joe [Elliott,Paul Coffey Jersey, vocals], Vivian [Campbell, guitar] and Rick [Allen,Boston Red Sox Xander Bogaerts Jersey, drums] on Rick's birthday out here on November 1,Chicago Cubs Ernie Banks Jersey," he said. "And we were discussing and we were all excited and buzzing about new material. I can't even remember the last time we were like that about that stuff. 'Cause it's been a long time since we've had new recordings out,Reggie Wayne Colts Jersey, so it's like a brand new band; you have all these ideas and we're just gonna get together and bash it out."In a recent interview with Rolling Stone,Chicago Cubs Fergie Jenkins Jersey, Collen revealed that the band has plans to record both an EP and full-length album. He explained: "An album would obviously take too long, so we're gonna do about four or five songs,Texas Rangers Delino DeShields Jersey, get those out and then [later in the] year have an album come out,Boston Red Sox Dustin Pedroia Jersey, so it'll be an EP and an album."Campbell explained to Billboard that DEF LEPPARD's next release will likely see them delivering elements of their classic tunes while also delving into new territory."The band is successful for a certain sound,Jimmy Butler USA Jersey," said Campbell. "It's a brand like Coca-Cola and you've got to give the people what they expect. At the same time,San Francisco Giants Dave Dravecky Jersey, you have to move on."After completing the successful "Viva! Hysteria" residency in Las Vegas last spring that resulted in the recently released concert video and album packages, DEF LEPPARD is planning to return to Sin City later this year with a "Viva! Pyromania" residency, which will see the group perform the entire classic 1983 album "Pyromania" at each show. |
