I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.

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.

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.

AC/DC, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper - I learned stories of all these guys. That's when I fell in love with Queen, which is one of my favorite bands of all time... I started paying attention to what made music good. I started paying attention to why I liked it.

My dad was a big Frank Zappa fan, so I remember listening to a lot of Frank Zappa. Girls do not like Frank Zappa.

Man, that first Leppard album really jams, and their original guitarist, Pete Willis, was a great player.

I always loved rock 'n' roll.

I still have people saying to me, 'Oh, you're still together?' They don't realize Leppard's been around this whole time, because people just don't get to hear us.

I was 8 years old when I started listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company and Led Zeppelin.
