DEF LEPPARD IN PHOTOGRAPHER ROSS HALFIN'S NEW DOCUMENTARY???
Ross was in Los Angeles, CA for the Def Leppard/Kiss concert where he seems to be shooting interviews for a Documentary (Anyone have details?) As usual Ross had some interesting things to say about the trip and members of Def Leppard.
Quote from Ross Halfin's Online Diary. "The Los Angeles Forum, interviewing Paul Stanley for my documentary, all good in theory. Except when I arrive at 5pm it’s already a mad house backstage. Chaos with people everywhere, Paul does his bit on me, I have no idea what he says as I’m not allowed in the room. I get him to pose for some portraits as Paul finishes and I hang out for a bit in Kiss Hospitality with Paul, Tommy Thayer and Brian Wheat (Who I’ve brought along as my PA). I tell Tommy he looks like Tom Scholz of Boston, he really does, except Tommy has better hair. No one is agreeing with me and Tommy’s not going to sing for me "More Than A Feeling".
Quote #2. from Ross from his Online Diary. "So off to see Phil Collen of Def Leppard who does an interview but by this time the support band is on, a load of rubbish called Kobra And The Lotus (I mean bad...) they are soooooo awful all we get is a lot of noise while Phil is filming so we give up, I see Joe Elliott and we arrange to film him at a later date. I was hoping the drummer Rick Allan would do a bit, as there is “NO” love lost between us. If I’m honest Rick Allan and I have disliked each other from day one, it would have been fantastic having him tell the world how much he “HATES” me."
Quote from Ross on facebook earlier today "Just back from LA with Def Leppard and KISS. A big get well soon to Vivian Campbell, who I just saw play at the Los Angeles Forum."

I have heard from many different camps that Ross Halfin is a 1st class asshat.

Shame about the 'friction' or whatever, as i think he's taken some historic and iconic photos of the band. I like his honest approach to most things and i thought his part on Behind The Music was refreshing, especially with what he had to say about Steve.

Best photographer the band has ever had...by far!!
The allen - ross thing has been written before ao nothing new there... Too bad if that has anything to do with why he doesnt take photos anymore..

Ross is never afraid of speaking his mind, however I did notice he didn'nt really start to be negative about some aspects of Lep until he wasn't working for the band.

Great photographer, many funny stories about Ross in Mick Walls collection of articles from kerrang! Highly recommended book with articles on leppard, Metallica, mmotley Crüe, maiden etc, well worth a summer read.
