Def Leppard guitarist talks new music



Def Leppard will be writing and recording some new music during their upcoming spring residency in Las Vegas.

"That's the really exciting thing for us,” guitarist Vivian Campbell tells KLOS. “I mean, as much as we are really looking forward to the shows, we're only doing three shows a week — Wednesday, Friday and Saturday — so the days off in between, we're actually gonna write.”

“So it's different for us,” he continues. “When we're on tour, we don't get in a writing mode, because you're in a bus every night and travelling. It's not very often that the five of us in Def Leppard are in one place together with time on our hands, so we've got a little Pro Tools rig and we're just gonna actually record in our hotel room while we're there — get some new ideas for some long-overdue new Def Leppard."

The band takes over the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for an exclusive nine-show run entitled “VIVA Hysteria!” between March 22 and April 10 at The Joint.
