Leppard has a long run
It will be more than a blast from the past as Def Leppard brings its old and
new music to the Prince George Multiplex.Some rockers say video killed the radio star. Guitarist Phil Collen says
video helped boost rock'n'roll band Def Leppard into superstar status."It (MTV) certainly helped. We embraced the whole video concept in the early
1980s," said Collen, on a break from Def Leppard's 10-month long road trip as
the band stopped in Saskatoon. "In the long run though, it (videos) did hurt
us I guess because it took away that mystique. They became very candy-coated
and did nothing to display our passion for the music."
