New Vivian Campbell Interview
with Radio personality Eddie Trunk (Oct 2013)[/color]
Vivian Campbell Quote #1. His Solo Album & Writing for Def Leppard.
"Absolutely, yeah definitely. I have been writing songs. I have been attempting to do a record of my own actually which I want to be very guitar centric. Not like an instrumental record. I'm not an instrumental music fan but you know definitely riff oriented heavy guitar playing. And I've been writing songs for that. Obviously I've gotta give first dibs on those songs to Def Leppard. So it's a question of whether or not they have interest in them. But I'm certainly writing in that style yeah."
Vivian Campbell Quotes: Def Leppard to begin recording in Dublin in Feb 2014
"I saw Phil and Rick Allen about two or three weeks ago and we had dinner and we were discussing this and you know our plan is actually to go over to Dublin and Joe's studio in the early new year - probably in February and actually try and cut a track live in the studio, cause I really do think there's a whole different energy level when Def Leppard plays live as opposed to the traditional way that we record. Which is piece meal you know and we work to a click track. To a machine and it's always one guy at a time and it's very, it's a very slow laboured process. And it really you know in my opinion it becomes kind of anaemic after a while you know but yet when you get the five of us in a room and we're actually shifting air together. There really is a whole different set of dynamics."
"So we're gonna try and - they agreed and we're actually gonna try and capture some of that. And it you know it might not be the greatest song in the world that we're gonna start with. And we don't even really care about what the song is. We just want something to get - to try and get the juices flowing."
"So that's kind of our focus and we're gonna try to at least cut one track like that in February in Dublin. And you know obviously there's more commercially oriented songs that we're gonna be focussing on and we're gonna talk about working with different producers and stuff and we're actually we're very embarrassed about how long it's taken us to get new music out. It's getting to be a new record now!."
