      I saw him interviewed on VH1's behind the music maybe ten or so years after this?

      His face was all fucked up and it was pretty obvious he was a heavy drinker...

      Nothing against Phil Collen, because I think his work on "Love and Affection" was one of the best guitar moments that band had. But the original duo of Willis & Steve Clark was pretty tremendous...

        From Def Leppard's Wiki page:

        'By the end of the decade, although Guns N' Roses, M&#246;tley Cr&#252;e, and Bon Jovi had garnered more mainstream exposure, Def Leppard had sold more records than any rock band in the US during the 80's, except Van Halen.'

                  Yeah, Vivian Campbell is like having Sammy Hagar playing guitar in your band...

                    Vivian Campbell kicked some ass on Holy Diver and Last In Line.

                    Dude wasted what talent he had after Dio. No self-respecting guitar player would play second-fiddle to Phil Collen, fat paycheck or not.

                      Not the most dangerous music in the world...

                      I guess Willis can take a little comfort in the fact that if he had stayed in the band there would be good chance that he'd be dead by now.

                      He's lucky he got his money(according to wikki he has a property company), so many don't.

                            True as fuck!

                            Cambell has squandered his career as a hired gun . At least his early work with Dio was somewhat inspiring to guitarists (back in the day).
                            And playing second banana to a soulless player/wanker is pathetic ,regardless of the paycheck (which is all he's done with himself).
                            And have ya noticed Phildo Colon keeps a leash on Vivs solo time.
                            Cambell= Bitch!
