<p><a href="https://consequence.net/artist/def-leppard/" rel="nofollow">Def Leppard</a>’s Phil Collen grabs some time with Kyle Meredith to talk about <em>Drastic Symphonies,</em> their new collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra where they reimagine their classics and deep cuts with the famed orchestra. The guitarist tells us about being inspired by The Who’s <em>Quadrophenia</em>, as well as the influence of David Bowie, Mick Ronson, and T-Rex on last year’s <em>Diamond Star Halo</em>. Speaking of Bowie, Phil also drops the news that he’s resurrecting the tribute side project, <em>Cybernauts,</em> and will be recording new covers, along with making a guest appearance on Ian Hunter’s upcoming second volume of <em>Defiance</em>. Collen goes on to discuss the leftover songs the band has, the possibility of a future concept album, and how they remade &#34;Pour Some Sugar On Me&#34; as a duet ballad.</p><p>Listen to <a href="https://consequence.net/artist/def-leppard/" rel="nofollow">Def Leppard</a>’s Phil Collen chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch via <a href="https://youtu.be/nrJa7TbKam0" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a>.
