If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!

It`s a lot more comfortable, I must say. Ummm, I didn`t think I`d be playing with another band, I kinda thought I was through with that, but I make an exception because they`re nice people.

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

When I first saw Marc Bolan I was like nine years old, I said, `That`s what I want to do.` The long hair, the makeup, having girls around was cool.

I never had a real job, you know, I always knew I was destined for stardom. That`s tongue in cheek by the way in case you haven`t noticed.

Yeah, Yngwie Malmsteen is mind-blowing, but I can`t listen to it! At the time I couldn`t listen to it! But I grew up wanting to be like that.

And remember: without you, all we are is loud. No pressure.

I... consider it a great privilege to be part of a band who, as a fan, I have watched grown from young hopefuls to a bona fide rock institution.

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 never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar.

I don`t know how anyone could vote Republican. It`s so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.

I always knew that Def Leppard were a band, who wrote songs, who lived in the same house, while they were writing the songs, it`s sorta like The Monkees, and that`s cool!

Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.

Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.
