- I had the pleasure of sitting down (virtually) with Phil Collen, co-lead guitarist for the legendary rock band, Def Leppard! At 64 years old, Phil is known for his impressive physique and physical fitness, but what many people don't know is that he achieved and maintains his fitness as a vegan! As a vegan myself, I wanted to chat with him about everything veganism, nutrition, fitness, and of course music.

3:27 - The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert with The Foo Fighters.
5:34 - When and why Phil became vegetarian.
6:53 - Difficulties travelling as a vegetarian/vegan in the 80s.
8:28 - Phil's vegan diet when he's at home.
11:33 - Phil's vegan diet when he's on tour.
13:51 - The importance of fitness and health as a rock band.
16:52 - How Def Leppard manages to sound so incredible live.
20:30 - When and why Phil quit drinking alcohol.
22:58 - Martial arts and fitness.
27:26 - Discussing 2023 tour plans and whether or not there'll be another Las Vegas Residency (a la Viva Hysteria).
28:27 - Which music collaborations would Phil love to partake in.

Def Leppard is my all time favorite band!🇬🇧🇮🇪
Fantastic interview. DL are my favourite band & Phil is my “favourite vegan”. His energy, vibe & passion towards veganism & life just makes one’s own path in life a little easier. Thankyou!
What a nice surprise seeing this in my feed today. I'm a big Def Leppard fan from back in the day.
Love them!
Awesome interview! 👏🏼
Awesome interview. Totally unexpected. Ran across this by accident.
I am now a Def Leppard fan (whereas I wasn’t before)
Phil has an amazing physique and it’s so inspiring to know he’s vegan. I follow a plant based lifestyle too and I’m a lot fitter in my martial arts than most for my age. A follow up of his exercise routine would be great.
Vegan rock legend!
I went to the London Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert and there were loads of vegans performing.
Justin Hawkins, Travis Barker, Sam Ryder, and possibly Brian May (if he's vegan).
Paul McCartney performed too but think he's vegetarian.
That’s amazing! I wish I was there. Love AC/DC too, so jealous you saw Brian Johnson. Paul McCartney and Brian May are vegan as far as I know. McCartney for sure.
@@dr.matthewnagra That's good to hear!
Brian Johnson's voice is incredible. I saw AC/DC a few years back but with Axl singing and I thought he did a good job, way better than he sings with GnR at the moment.
Will have to try and see them with Brian when they tour again.
Great interview!
Great stuff & it's true that it's important too look after your body!!
Phil Collen is a very good example of that as he is in his 60's but is super healthy!!I look after myself which has helped greatly for me as a guy in his mid 40's who is dealing with parkinsons.I myself am vegan & exersise a great deal,but this is too keep my weight down which in my case is 120lbs or 54.431kg or 8stone 8,which has helped me greatly as I'm not carrying any unwanted excess weight!!!But I'm not a big man anyway at 5 foot 7 inches - 170.18 cm tall!!By the way i myself am a musician & a huge collector user of Jackson guitars!!!!
It explains why he looks so amazing and healthy with a 6 pack.
@29:59 "real drums ?", did they not use real drums on Diamond Star Halo or does Rick Allen have a real studio at his house
Rick Allen uses a custom electric drum kit because of him losing his left arm. I do believe it is fully electric, and he even uses it live in concert.
you didn't ask him why he went vegan
You know what's funny. I thought I did during the interview because we talked about why he first went veggie, and then about his transition to veganism, but I didn't explicitly ask him. However, he has already reached out to do a part 2 because he really enjoyed it, so I'll add that to my list of follow up Qs. Let me know if you have any other Qs.
@@dr.matthewnagra that’s amazing, can’t wait to watch another one 👍🏻
"When I was benching 380....."
Um....he is 5'7" tall and cannot be hardly 150lbs on a very bloated day. He never moved 380 on a bench. I don't believe that for a moment.
Patrik baboumian is 5’7 and benches heavy ☠️ clearly you don’t understand fitness
Sorry, but Phil was never benching 380.
@@starboy3741 Because that is freak level strength at his BW.
We'd have a record of it if it ever happened.
@@starboy3741 And maybe you walked on water today.
Tell me you don't know how likelihoods work without actually telling you don't know how likelihoods work.
@@starboy3741 I'm just saying the burden of evidence for something spectacular is on the person making the claim.
But keep fan boying.
@@starboy3741 In great shape? He has abs. So what? Aside from his claim of a 380 bench, there's no mention or demonstration of his performance.
You can't understand it because you are ignorant of what a 380lb at 165lbs bench press is or how rare it is.
MOST people, at any weight, can't do a proper 225lbs. 315 is SUPER rare. 380 is world class at his weight.
@@georgechristiansen6785 Phil Collen was absolutely shredded a few years ago. Like super shredded. He didn’t just have abs. His workout routine was insane. It’s really not that farfetched that he did a rep of over 300.
not natty
No way that mfkr benched 380 lmfaoooo 😂
Have you seen him when he was around 55??
Great interview!
