Def Leppard’s Phil Collen on the Royal Philharmonic Collab & Resurrecting the Cybernauts David Bowie Tribute

Def Leppard’s Phil Collen grabs some time with Kyle Meredith to talk about Drastic Symphonies, their new collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra where they reimagine their classics and deep cuts with the famed orchestra. The guitarist tells us about being inspired by The Who’s Quadrophenia, as well as the influence of David Bowie, Mick Ronson, and T-Rex on last year’s Diamond Star Halo. Speaking of Bowie, Phil also drops the news that he’s resurrecting the tribute side project, Cybernauts, and will be recording new covers, along with making a guest appearance on Ian Hunter’s upcoming second volume of Defiance. Collen goes on to discuss the leftover songs the band has, the possibility of a future concept album, and how they remade "Pour Some Sugar On Me" as a duet ballad.Listen to Def Leppard’s Phil Collen chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch via YouTube.
