NSTS Episode 028 - Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen - a podcast by Brent Jensen

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+. 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
