But the irony is that because the band isn't the focus any more, it allows me the chance to enjoy being a member of Def Leppard much more.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.
Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.
I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.
I've always loved Def Leppard, ever since I was little.
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant.
That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.
Whether you like another band's music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.
I'm not into bands for the sake of being into bands. I've grown past that. There was a time in my life when I was that guy.
Over time, certain people don't want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band.
