Phil Collen talks about the feeling of touring with Mötley Crüe
“It’s great. We’ve known ’em for years. I’ve known all of ’em since the ’80s — early ’80s. We played with them first time in ’83. It’s great, it’s like being at school with all of your best friends. It’s really fun. We’ve got this [shared chartered] airplane [on the tour] that all of us are on there. And it’s great.”
“There’s two bands that are still around. And I think it means more as you get older. There’s this thing being young, ta-da-da, but there’s something about really doing it still later on that makes you — I don’t know — appreciate it more,” Phil Collen said.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
