Although rumors can give the wrong impression of people, Rick Savage lets their actions do the talking. “I have to say, they turned out to be some of the nicest people that we’ve ever, ever worked with — just really, really great. Contrary to popular belief, they were very professional, they were always on time, they were very friendly. They were even friendly with each other, which some people tend to think that they’re not. Well, they were perfect to be with — absolutely perfect.”

While explaining that it doesn’t always work when bands try to work together, but for Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe, Savage continued, “When you get paired with a band that you don’t really know, you’re never sure how the relationship is gonna work. But literally from day one, the relationship between Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe was very, very tight, very, very close. Nikki Sixx is one of the nicest men I’ve ever met, one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, apart from David Bryan from Bon Jovi. But they’re just good, good people. And like I say, it just made for a really, really enjoyable tour.”
