Guitarist Magazine with Rick Savage
The launch of a new Def Leppard album is always an event, but when it re-unites the band with "sixth Leppard" producer and co-writer Mutt Lange, resposible for some of their greatest recorded moments, the prospect suddenly become even more exciting.
Having spent much of the day at the TV studios running through their performance for TFI Friday with transmission scheduled for the same evening, Bassist caught up with Rick for a well deserved break to find out how things were going with Def Leppard these days.
"We're playing better now than we've ever played in our lives," Rick delights in stating, "I don't know whether it comes with experience but we've honed the craft down to a fine art now. The biggest thing for us was always playing and singing at the same time 'cos when you're in the studio you do it seperately, but all the practicing and rehearsals we've done have paid off and it's becoming second nature now. It should be after all these years."
