Phil Quotes

Here's one where Phil slagged me and my friend off completely and totally, but it's so darned funny, and so typically Phil 'open mouth, insert foot, never knowing it' that I gotta share.

We were talking to him about Girl, after a Def Leppard show, mind you, and he went off something along the lines of the following:

"When I was with Girl, we had all of these hot chicks who came to shows and followed us. Then I joined Def Leppard. . ."

Evidently, we weren't hot! I swear, my mouth fell open, and I was gonna say something semi-clever like, "Until you met us," but he was on about something else and it was just too funny.
