DEF LEPPARD Guitarist Sees The Bright Side Of Illiegal Music Downloading

DEF LEPPARD guitarist Vivan Campbell has offered his theory to LiveDaily's Christina Fuoco-Karasinski for why after more than 30 years in the music business, the band is seeing its audiences getting younger and younger.

"That's a byproduct of music piracy more than anything else," Campbell explained. "I'm not saying that as a negative. I think it's very positive. A lot of younger kids get turned on to classic bands because they're trading files. They have 4,000 or 5,000 songs on their iPod, that's $4,000 or $5,000 on their iPod, at iTunes' prices, at least. A 12-year-old can't afford that. When kids trade files, it's actually a good thing for classic bands such as us. It's not such a good thing for up-and-coming artists who need to sell records."
