DEF LEPPARD Members Remember JIMI HENDRIX (Video)

November 9, 2012

DEF LEPPARD's Joe Elliott (vocals) and Phil Collen (guitar) recently spoke to CBS Local about Jimi Hendrix, the man who changed electric guitar and rock and roll forever.

To mark what would have been Hendrix's 70th birthday, CBS Local is remembering the legendary musician's life and career throughout November.

In the interview, which can be seen below, Collen called Hendrix "the ultimate rock guitar player, the most amazing guitar player of all time." Elliott, meanwhile, marveled at Hendrix's abilities not only through the amp, but also on the mic.

Elliott and Collen covered Hendrix's "Manic Depression" on the 2001 EP from their side project CYBERANUTS. Collen has also recorded and performed Hendrix's "Fire" with his other band, MANRAZE.
