Job Refusal

My wife told her nephew, who's Vivian Campbell and a guitarist in Def Leopard, that I play drums in Rock Band and could he give me a job. He said they already had a good drummer. Perhaps he knew I'm only on 'hard' level
So now I can say I was turned down for a job by Def Leopard!

"Are they a cover band for Def Leppard"

No. They're the real thing. He was originally with White Snake.
I use to baby sit him when his mum (my sister in law) lived in Fulham

Re: Job Refusal

Thats very cool. It would be interesting to hear his opinion of these music type rhythm games. Who knows, it may encourage them to get tracks onto Rock Band!

Re: Job Refusal

I'll ask him some time, but he's over here now from America because his dad has just died and it wouldn't be appropriate at the moment.
Maybe after a suitable period of time.

Re: Job Refusal

Make him have a go if he hasnt already done so.

Good job on your first gig refusal - most people aim low for their first band, i got rejected from The Custard Otters, which was only a RB2 band...

Yes - but imagine me with my Ions, foot petal mounted on a piece of foam and me playing on 'Hard' level.
I think they might lose some popularity!
