Especially Malvin...he visits his grave whenever he's down for Christmas and the band still pays tribute to this great man prior to every show. I was so glad to hear that. He is still so dearly missed.
mad dog - Agreed, also, in my opinion, when I see them perform, there just isn't that connection between Phil and Viv that Phil had with Steve and while they will always be my favourite, I will miss seeing that and I'm sure, to some degree, Phil must as well.
Nikki is the best Interviewer in music. Knows how to ask all the right questions and let the people he's interviewing do the talking. Love it keep up the good work.
So for all the people in the inside circle who have stated that Steve didn't even want to get sober... well you heard Phil's words, Steve had told Phil a lot of times "I really want to stop doing this, it's awful." There's the proof, Steve DID want to stop drinking. R.I.P. always, we love you Steve.
Phil is always such a great interview guest. Always. I have never been a fan of Nikki Sixx, though. UNTIL NOW! This show is excellent!! He is really engaging. I’m glad I discovered this!!
Def Leppard was a band that matured before many of their contemporaries. I look at other bands from this time and they rag on the producers of their biggest albums when Def considered Mutt a member and did what was best for the band. They are friends that support each other and it shows.
What a GREAT interview! So cool to hear Phil and Nikki talk about the crazy ‘80’s. Now, both being tea-total, they are clear headed, funny and inspiring. WTG Nikki. You should be very proud of your show. It’s awesome!!
Great show Nikki, Phil was great. I agree with you on having to move and change the things in your life to get over the things that keep you stuck in addiction. I took me years to realize that. Thank you for your wisdom!
"Girls, Girls, Girls" That is your favorite group from the best decade in the history of metal music in the 1980's? And Dr. Feelgood crap? Vince you can't even understand or hear WTF he is singing? You need to back to the 1970s to find really great heavy metal bands that stand the test of time. Not the Crue. I do like Def Leppard (with Clark) but Guys that go to concerts to listen to this bubble gum metal makes me wonder about them. Do you buy the "Merch" too?
Awesome interview!! Def Leppard is my absolute favorite and Phil is awesome. But I also love Motley, so cool to hear these two rockstars talk and share experiences. Would love to see more of the guys from Def Leppard on the show! Or from any of the other 80s rock bands. Will definitely keep an eye on this channel.
One of my favorite guitarist and favorite bass players. I would love to see one day a song with Nikki and Phil played live with both of your intense stage shows.
Wonderful and genuine concept. Really good job Nikki. I'm impressed. Bright, honest, interested and open chat. Thanks for letting us being a part of that. Keep it going. Awesome and sweet guests in general. Glad I found this.
Great show Nikki, I grew up listening to you guys alot if 80s rock bands, and to hear you guys chat about the old times is fantastic. Love Def Leppard and crue.
My heart is truly warmed, You've no idea how nice it is as fan of both of You to hear You both wear Your heart on Your sleeve's and be so open, thank You and stupid amounts of love to You!
Loving this channel Nikki. Kudos to you and the team for putting this together. It's great to hear the stories from our favourite bands growing up. Wish this had've been available for you guys back in the day!
Love this show...one of the best things I've seen/heard in a while...don't cancel it, please! Anyway, aside from Phil being one hell of a guitarist and seemingly really nice person, I can't think of any other musician, his age, that still plays without a shirt...dude is freaking ripped. Even Sting doesn't play shirtless anymore (I think). I can only hope to look as good as Phil when I'm that old.
Her first concert was Def Leppard in OKC? I saw Hysteria in OKC when I was 14. A horse racing track. Europe opened and their first song was Final Countdown and their last song was Final Countdown. I always remembered they played it twice.
Great stuff Nikki, and Phil! As a former working musician myself, I love the analysis of the craft. Always have. I often think back to my earliest band days, in one particular band with a guitarist you may have seen or met (Steve Schuffert - The Godz, Glenn Burtnick...), I was 17, he was 16, and whenever we went to see a national act at a local 1500 seater, it was like going to school. We'd sit in the balcony front row just studying what they were doing. Forget enjoying the show. For us it was all, "Did you see how they did this, that or the other?"
Omg Nikki sixx I so luv the things u are doing with sobriety it's awesome luv your books and videos on addiction and luv the way u explain and face it !!! Which is awesome I'm in sobriety and still try to preach r show my sobriety to my lil bro and sisters they haven't grasped it uet but still show them the steps in trying to become sober wish they are readers but are not so I try ...luv your books which I got !!! And try to spread the word luv your work but don't work so hard I try different things to change my lifestyle which I have vowed to never b the addict that I use to b !!!!! Plenty of props for u never got to that hard shit ....only coke lol still hard but u did harder luv u and appreciate the word u give out !!!! KEEP Up the Good Work!!! Luv u lots continue doing and spreading the word!!!🤛🤛👍👍👍👍
Love Nikki's show. He's a great interviewer. One problem.... There was a couple minutes where he was talking, and I thought "damn, he sounds like Owen Wilson".... Now I can't fucking unhear it! LMAO 😂
I was hoping they were going to jam, I love the riff in Wasted. One of my faves, plus fun song to sing. Joe's voice was one of the hardest for me to emulate for a long time. Singing is like playing except you're the instrument. Fun to get to a point where it's like having all the stuff you can do with a guitar and twist it around. Anyway, ... Great interview and if anyone reading and hasn't seen the movie about Def Leppard it is really good.
Phil said how if you fall off rehab you crumble. I don't remember the exact words he said. But I recently fell in my own counseling work. It was helpful BC I feel like its less my fault. It is so hard to be perfect. It was very helpful hearing the rest too. So sorry about Steve. I love Def Leopard. One of my friends introduced me and the songs stretched my energy. It was healing.
Hey Nikki I love rock n roll music I. Saw def leopard in 2016 with reo and testla when I saw it rock we had high seat but ,I had that moument like Phil collen was playing his guitar right at me and the concert rock I love it that was my first rock concert
Great stuff!!! Two musical devoties with a different approach to the same course. Actually my First concert was Deep Purple, but with Joe Lynn Taylor on vox. Had the same urge to get up front as Phil, and even got to touch Richies guitar as he threw it into the audience. Almost unschrewed the whammy bar :) I'm basically a functioning alchohollic, meaning I open a bottle of wine, when my kids are put to bed and asleep. It's compulsive behavior. And.. inspitational hearing you guys adressing the issue. In my case, I know- and have identified the problem, however the final dession to quit drinking, is hard. I guess, it's all about patterns and habbits. Therefore I I'm an alchohollic, since I can"t resist the urge to pop the bottle. The hard part is to not buy the wine and saying no at social gatherings. Just like when quitting smoking. Nevertheless... Respect to you guys body of work and your "geek/nerd" approach to music. And for speaking about your expiriences with stopping drinking and other drugs😎
Nikki I hate to tell you this, but drugs have been mainstream even when I was growing up with you guys. 60's were all about drugs. so were the 70's and 80's. I was a lucky one that never touched heroin or meth thank god. But every other drug out there from like age 11 I was doing. Started with cigarettes, then pot, then drinking and doing acid each week by age 13. I only did that for about maybe a year. Got old after a while. But I was also doing Ludes, Valium and what ever else I could get my hands on. I have even done Cocaine. Shit I should be dead by now and this was all back in 1979 or 80 when I started. I seen you guys at the US Festival in CA and we were fucked up! Great times and glad I survived them. Sadly many others don't. I was not a rock star like you, but I lived the life of one in other ways. haha! But we all choose our own paths in life, and even as a child I knew they were bad. Good thing is I don;t touch drugs anymore either. I don't drink smoke or anything. We either grow up and out of them, or die from them. Just so you younger kids know. Its fun for while, but after a while the fun is gone and the dependency has you by the BLEEP! Then comes the choice, stop and live, or continue and die. Pot and cigarettes were the last things I stopped, and it nearly destroyed my lungs. It took me two years for them to get better. Now I'm 50 and hopefully will not get cancer from it all. Knock on wood. All in all if I do? I have been a lucky one and have the life of 10 men. But I would change to not doing the drugs and alcohol if I could do it all over again. I would have remember a lot more of the concerts I went to every week. haha!
One of the best concerts I've ever attended was a few years ago at the Glasgow SECC where the tickets were £45 and for that price was the no brainer triple bill of Steel Panther, Motley Crue and Def Leppard. I actually bought the tickets just to see Steel Panther who were amazing but I loved the "Stargate" drumkit the Crue were packing. By the time Def Leppard came on though, I was comfortably blootered and fell asleep halfway through their set. LOL
Speaking of holding your guitar while standing,you know who is the very best at that ZAkk Wyld he is such a badass when he plays he makes me want to be the guitar it's amazing to watch and listen too
Great interview. Pity as Nikki was the primary song writer for his band he never asked about the primary song writer for Phil's band. Steven Maynard 'the Riffmaster' Clark. All he asked is "what kind of a 'person' was Steve". "Deeper" not. Opportunity missed Sixx. That pisses me off big time, not good enough to not pay homage to a bands main engine, but it was a solid interview. Mutt's influence was MASSIVE, no issue but Steve was the member that penned 90 per cent of their songs lyrically and constructed some of the most intricate melodies, riffs, hooks and bends in history. Mutt pulled, mined the gold Steve had.
awesome vid. does anyone know the intro music on this vid? its in the background of most sixx sense vids and has a killer groove!!! be very happy if someone knows the answer
I love that Def Leppard still talks about Steve. Miss that guy!
I think the whole band still misses him
Especially Malvin...he visits his grave whenever he's down for Christmas and the band still pays tribute to this great man prior to every show. I was so glad to hear that. He is still so dearly missed.
Todd Lavigne cause he wrote all the great music when Steve passed the creativity was gone
mad dog - Agreed, also, in my opinion, when I see them perform, there just isn't that connection between Phil and Viv that Phil had with Steve and while they will always be my favourite, I will miss seeing that and I'm sure, to some degree, Phil must as well.
Steve IS deflep..
I normally don't have 35 minutes to watch something, but I just couldn't put this one down. Thanks Nikki that was cool
So you do have 35 minutes to watch something. Stop acting like your soooo busy and just take the time!!!
@@coyleigh2860 he meant that he usually doesn't have the dedication to watch a 30 minute video
This is why I like to watch things at 1.5 speed
Nikki needs more subscribers. This show is excellent.
I agree! Great channel!
Nikki is the best Interviewer in music. Knows how to ask all the right questions and let the people he's interviewing do the talking. Love it keep up the good work.
Not really.
Phil Collen is possibly the nicest guy in rock with a doubt. Great interview Nikki and Jen.
Get bent LOL I’m just kidding
Phil is such a great guitarist and one cool guy.
Steve was better. Bottom line.
@@MichaelGiordano777 what does that have to do with anything? Phil is a legend in his own right.
So for all the people in the inside circle who have stated that Steve didn't even want to get sober... well you heard Phil's words, Steve had told Phil a lot of times "I really want to stop doing this, it's awful." There's the proof, Steve DID want to stop drinking.
R.I.P. always, we love you Steve.
Yes and he met a girl in rehab and started feeding each other’s addiction
Def Leppard & Motley Crue my favorite rock band all time!!! Much love from Russia!!!!
Now doing a tour together in 2023 🎸🤘
Great interview Nikki. Phil is such a pleasant dude and a great talent.
Phil is always such a great interview guest. Always. I have never been a fan of Nikki Sixx, though. UNTIL NOW! This show is excellent!! He is really engaging. I’m glad I discovered this!!
What's great about Phil is that he credits all those around him that helped the band write songs and get to where they are. No ego.
Def Leppard was a band that matured before many of their contemporaries. I look at other bands from this time and they rag on the producers of their biggest albums when Def considered Mutt a member and did what was best for the band. They are friends that support each other and it shows.
Rockstars become real gentlemen. Hats off! What a great channel!
I still like High and Dry its so raw almost punk rock
I really love Another Hit And Run..
Its my favorite DL album. Wish Steve Clark was here to do this show. I much prefer him to Phil
What a GREAT interview! So cool to hear Phil and Nikki talk about the crazy ‘80’s. Now, both being tea-total, they are clear headed, funny and inspiring. WTG Nikki. You should be very proud of your show. It’s awesome!!
Nikki is a very well spoken person! Some people might not think that of rock stars but he is an excellent radio show host! Keep it up!!!!
Great show Nikki, Phil was great. I agree with you on having to move and change the things in your life to get over the things that keep you stuck in addiction. I took me years to realize that. Thank you for your wisdom!
My two favorite bands. The Crue and Leppard. Loved this vid.
Me too!!
"Girls, Girls, Girls" That is your favorite group from the best decade in the history of metal music in the 1980's? And Dr. Feelgood crap? Vince you can't even understand or hear WTF he is singing?

Would love to see more of the guys from Def Leppard on the show! Or from any of the other 80s rock bands. Will definitely keep an eye on this channel.
Def Leppard was my first concert ever and they’re my favorite band in the world!!!
Nikki is doing a really good job, seems genuinely interested in all his guests, keep up the great work!✌️
Another great interview by Nikki with Phil Collins!! :)
Phil Collen
Phil is such a class act. Shameful that he isn't in the Rock hof yet.
Harmony Smurf I so agree...
DL are in now!!!
Awesome show with Phil! You still rock Nickki.
HEROIN DIARIES. excellent work
Speaking of expanding artistic endeavors, drummer Rick Allen is an amazing paintings and drawings.
One of my favorite guitarist and favorite bass players. I would love to see one day a song with Nikki and Phil played live with both of your intense stage shows.
Wonderful and genuine concept. Really good job Nikki. I'm impressed. Bright, honest, interested and open chat. Thanks for letting us being a part of that. Keep it going. Awesome and sweet guests in general. Glad I found this.
Great GREAT show man! Thanks Nikki!😎
Nikki 🤘 you're such a legend!
Wow! This show really gets me thinking
Great show Nikki, I grew up listening to you guys alot if 80s rock bands, and to hear you guys chat about the old times is fantastic. Love Def Leppard and crue.
This interview is AWESOME 😎 Thank You Nikki ❤️
My heart is truly warmed, You've no idea how nice it is as fan of both of You to hear You both wear Your heart on Your sleeve's and be so open, thank You and stupid amounts of love to You!

Gutted that i just found this. Sixx is a warm and engaging host and Phil just radiates cool.
Her first concert was Def Leppard in OKC? I saw Hysteria in OKC when I was 14. A horse racing track.
Europe opened and their first song was Final Countdown and their last song was Final Countdown. I always remembered they played it twice.
What a wonderful interviewer!!! Nikki's fantastic
Absolutely loved this. Thanks guys.
Sixx seems like such a nice dude. Phil is super cool as always too. Awesome interview. Very interesting.
Tour 83 they opened for Billy Squire...I was in jr. high...,great concert. That and Summer Strut in 82..,all at the very beginning, NICE RIDE!
Awesome love these shows!
Great show!! 👊🏼🤘🏼

Love Nikki's show. He's a great interviewer. One problem.... There was a couple minutes where he was talking, and I thought "damn, he sounds like Owen Wilson".... Now I can't fucking unhear it! LMAO 😂
Phil exceptional guitarist and wonderful man. I love him ❤
Nikki is a great interviewer with a nice radio voice. I’m really enjoying this show.
Great interview!
Keep em coming
Is there a nicer guy in rock than Phil? Smart, funny, talented, hard working...
Jack White i think dave grohl..also paul gilbert... (i dont mean as 'nicer'...i meant having the same class act)
I was hoping they were going to jam, I love the riff in Wasted. One of my faves, plus fun song to sing. Joe's voice was one of the hardest for me to emulate for a long time.

Thumbs up! Great channel! Great video!
Great interview, all your shows are awesome, you should be on HBO or Showtime doing rock interviews and playing with your favorite Rock buddies..
Nikki can do this well. Hope to see more.
great show ...
How did this channel not have more subscribers? I must be old.
Love it
Phil said how if you fall off rehab you crumble. I don't remember the exact words he said. But I recently fell in my own counseling work. It was helpful BC I feel like its less my fault. It is so hard to be perfect. It was very helpful hearing the rest too. So sorry about Steve. I love Def Leopard. One of my friends introduced me and the songs stretched my energy. It was healing.
I love how you guys used Sevendust for an intro. That was an amazing record.
Phil is amazing
Hey Nikki I love rock n roll music I. Saw def leopard in 2016 with reo and testla when I saw it rock we had high seat but ,I had that moument like Phil collen was playing his guitar right at me and the concert rock I love it that was my first rock concert
Phil colllens rock
Awesome!!!

As a drunk who would drink til I'm drunk is envious that you can drink "a bottle" of wine as I cant do that, so I've had to completely give it up!
Great stuff!!!

Both nikki and phil are very
nice and modest persons. I really like their personalities.
"A tennis racket is so much better than a broom " :)
Que bien! Nikki sixx & Phil colleen!👍🍺🍸🎅
This channel is great. It would be great if you could bring Bob Rock on.
"had to go in my bunk and bite my tounge" 😂😂😂 since when nikki lol

What two genuinely nice blokes.
Why can’t we buy the first three Def Leppard’s albums on iTunes. I want them in my collection.
Phil Collen makes being a guitar player a respectable profession....LOL
true English gentleman
Is there a reason they don't show the girl asking questions?
Sexism!!!!!!
The first interview that they didn't have a camera on Jen
