It’s my distinct pleasure to host one of the nicest guys in rock and roll in Episode 28 of NSTS, Def Leppard guitarist extraordinaire Phil Collen.
Phil and I cover a lot of ground in our chat – Hysteria’s 30th anniversary, Sting’s sublime bass lines, that he was asked to join Iron Maiden in 1981, his blues band Delta Deep, what he learned about being a guitar player from Mutt Lange, and the fact that my high school art class pencil sketch of he and Steve Clark was given an A+. Really wish I had saved that thing.
Collen’s playlist:
David Bowie – Moonage Daydream
Sex Pistols – God Save The Queen
Al Green – Tired of Being Alone
The Police – Walking on the Moon
Sly and the Family Stone – If You Want Me To Stay
Jimi Hendrix – Fire
Led Zeppelin – When The Levee Breaks
