	((( Def Leppard UK.com ))) :: Phil Collen Interview 1984:
		Phil toured the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan with them, and learned to tame his enthusiastic playing to fit a more disciplined group.
		Phil was welcomed warmly into the rock 'n roll family of Def Leppard, and it's acknowledged too that he brought with him a fresh supply of musicianship, complementing Steve in a new, exciting way.
		Phil's secret weapon has always been to carefully work out a solo into a song - he feels it should be a natural part of the song and, "not stick out like a sore thumb." Together, Phil and Steve are quite a team, bringing you those trademark solos.

		At the age of 16, Phil got his first guitar (a red Gibson SG), taught himself how to play, and left school to pursue a career in music.
		When Willis was dismissed, Collen wasn't formally asked to join the band, only to come over and to do a few solos.
		In 1989, Collen teamed up with Grover Jackson of Jackson Guitars to develop an ergonomically correct electric guitar called the PC Archtop.

		It was, in Phil's words, "a s#!tty neighborhood with slummy houses, about as s#!tty as you can get in London." He was very good at sports in school, especially swimming and soccer, but he invested most of his extra-curricular time in music.
		Phil immediately started taking private lessons from the masters--Blackmore, Jan Akkerman of the Dutch group Focus, jazz axemen like Larry Coryell and Al DiMeola--by listening to their albums and creating his own interpretations of their recorded solos.
		When Phil left school at 16, he got a job at a burglar alarm factory.

	((( Def Leppard UK.com ))) :: Phil Collen Interview 2005:
		Collen uses the every-other-decade theory to explain it.

		But according to Collen's decade theory, the '80s in a few years won't be cool anymore.

	Phil Collen
		Phil Collen spent the majority of his childhood living in the tough, working-class neighborhood of Hackney, where he gave indications of his future profession as early as the age of three.
		By 1977 Collen was playing local clubs with the punk-leaning outfit Lucy, but his personal inclination towards a more technically demanding style of playing eventually had him defecting to the heavy rock-oriented Tush, another London-based act that was working in many of the same venues.
		In 1994 both Collen and vocalist Joe Elliott took part in a tribute concert for former David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, joining Ronson's Ziggy Stardust-era bandmates Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey for a set of 70's Bowie numbers; the four have been intermittently active since under the band name Cybernauts.

	Phil Collen Bio
		Phil replaced Pete Willis in 1982 during the recordings of Pyromania.
		Phil has become one of the principle songwriters in the band.
		It's a Jackson PC, but it's different from my other ones, as the body is made from ash (as opposed to koa, or mahogany), it doesn't have a maple top and it has fl hardware.

		It appears that Phil was already something of a Tush fan and used to hang around after our gigs to chat but we had not heard him play before.
		Then Phil then phoned me a week later to let me know he was sorry about what had happened but mentioned that his place in Lucy was up for grabs if I was interested.
		She obviously was 100% behind Phil, a fortunate guy to have such a devoted mother indeed.

		Phil Collen is known as one of the nicest celebrity / rock stars many fans have ever met. The following quotes are some opinions on his guitar playing and a few accounts from fans who've had the pleasure of meeting him.
		I especially love the last part of the solo when Phil starts to play really fast and his fingers move up and down on the guitar really quickly.
		I think the song where phil plays with more passion and shows all his skills is in the tribute to Jeff Beck called "Jeffology", i talk about the song called "'cause we ended as lovers".

		Given to me by Phil Collen, the PC-1 is really a versatile axe.

		A Jackson guitar is meant to be played, and played hard.
		Their instruments are built to handle hard lives on the road, and are ready to take whatever their players will throw at them -- that's the just the way it is. Many of their endorsers and players have been with them for more than 10 years and still use some of their first Jacksons.
		Phil Collen has been a devoted Jackson abuser for a decade or longer.
