Def Leppard’s Vivian Campbell says that he is not concerned at all about the band not being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, despite being eligible for induction since 2004. “I don’t keep track of that and have a strong opinion about other bands. I was a Def Leppard fan before I was in the band,” he told the Cleveland Scene. “I bought the Hysteria album twice. I had a cassette of it, and I wore it. It was one of the very first CDs I ever had. I was a fan for many years. Pyromania was a great groundbreaking album, and then when Hysteria came along, there were seven or eight hit songs on that album. It didn’t win a Grammy or even get nominated. The awards are wonderful, but at the end of the day, what matters to us is seeing people come to the shows.” Guitarist Phil Collen also told the Albany, New York radio station Q103 that he wasn’t concerned about being included in the Rock Hall. “Honestly, it doesn’t bother us at all,” he said. “We hope our fans just like the music, they come to the tours, buy the records, and the music means something special to ’em. All of that stuff really means nothing. If it ever happens, great; if not, great.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
