Steve Baltin from Rolling Stone recently sat down in Santa Monica with DEF LEPPARD guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, along with drummer Rick Allen to talk about their new concert film, Campbell's cancer diagnosis and chemo treatments and the band's future.

Here are a few excerpts:

A lot of bands are uncomfortable watching themselves. Have you seen the concert film yet?

Phil Collen: "I've seen it. I think it's fantastic. We actually really sing our stuff. Everyone touches stuff up, but this is really us being live. We use different stuff from different nights, and the angles – they shot over two nights so they used the best parts. This is phenomenal. It's mind-blowing."

Vivian Campbell: "I don't like watching myself, I took that in consideration when I stood in front of the bedroom mirror pretending to be Marc Bolan. I was also really, really sick when we filmed this. When I look at pictures I look very pale because I was anemic and everything, so I'm not in a hurry to go see myself on the big screen."

What's the status with the new record?

Collen: "We've got a shitload of new songs anyway, it's just implement them and then, 'What direction are we gonna take? Who are we gonna get to produce it? Are we gonna do it ourselves? Are we gonna do multiple stuff?' An album would obviously take too long, so we're gonna do about four or five songs, get those out and then next year have an album come out, so it'll be an EP and an album."
