As previously reported, RushOnRock.com recently caught up with Campbell to discuss life as a hired gun in Thin Lizzy. An excerpt is available below.

Rushonrock: What was the first thought that went through your head when you were approached to join Lizzy?

VC: "I remember thinking what an exciting opportunity this was for me. As a guitarist their music has always been such a huge part of my life. I’m entirely self-taught and taught myself a lot of Lizzy songs. Marc Bolan was my first point of reference as a rock guitarist and then I discovered Rory Gallacher. From there I found Lizzy. It’s very exciting to be in this position. It’s reconnected me to the electric guitar. I’ve been in Def Leppard for 20 years and if I’m honest it’s not a terribly challenging job for me as a guitar player. Phil Collen plays most of the widdly guitar parts and I do what I do. But this job has reignited my love for guitar playing."

Rushonrock: So how did the opportunity come about?

VC: "It was Joe (Elliott, Def Leppard singer) who came up with the idea. He’s been helping Scott with some of the Lizzy remixes for the reissues and he came up with the idea about a year ago now. Leppard were going to be inactive for a while and I would have been sitting around getting fat. Joe suggested it to Scott and he called me. I know they were trying to get Brian Robertson to come back and, as a fan, I have to admit that would have been very exciting. But for whatever reason Robbo couldn’t or wouldn’t do it and by all accounts I’m the next best thing!"

Rushonrock: Do you think the time was right for a Leppard hiatus regardless of your own misgivings?

VC: "I do think it was the right time to have a break. For Joe in particular it was important. He was burnt out. We’d been touring for five years without a break and it was starting to take its toll. As for the rest of the guys I’m not sure. I don’t honestly know what Sav’s been doing. Rick Allen’s been pretty busy and Phil’s been busy with his own band. I just think Joe wanted a complete break from Def Leppard rather than a break from everything. As it turns out he’s been working harder than ever with the Lizzy stuff and the DOWN N OUTZ."
