Def Leppard’s Phil Collen Guests On New Crossbone Skully Song “Thunder Love”

Crossbone Skully, the project fronted by Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper, etc.), have premiered a new video for their new song “Thunder Love.” The band worked on the track with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange and Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. The single will appear on the group’s upcoming album “Condemned To Rock N’ Roll.”

Collen commented:

“It’s great to be singing with Mutt again. It’s a vocal blend we’ve shared for many years, and having Tommy’s voice in the mix adds another dimension.

‘Thunder Love’ is pure fun rock ‘n’ roll — loud, thunderous guitars, huge drum sounds, and punchy vocals.

Tommy’s got a powerful rock voice, but what really stands out is how versatile he is. He can shape his voice to fit whatever a song needs, and that’s a rare gift. He brings incredible energy to everything he does, which makes him so easy to collaborate with. He and Mutt share the same philosophy: it’s all about the vibe. When you get that right, everything else falls into place, and I think that’s a big part of what makes Crossbone Skully unique.

Crossbone Skully are bringing back the sound and spirit of classic rock. You just don’t see many videos like this anymore — it’s becoming a lost art, and being part of something that celebrates that has been a lot of fun.”

Henriksen added:

“Phil is one of my heroes as a guitarist, singer and songwriter so to bring Phil and Mutt together again for the track ‘Thunder Love’ was a really special moment for me, their generosity and influence made this dream a reality.

Making records with Mutt Lange has been the greatest lesson of my life. I have infinite respect and love for Mutt. I can never thank him enough for his belief, generosity, and friendship. I’ll carry it with me forever.”
