    Joe's music knowledge is unreal. He's literally a walking music encyclopaedia.
  • @lateramae
    I love when interviewers actually let the interviewees speak. Joe and Phil seemed very relaxed, and the stories they told were great!
  • Such humble guys...no bad language... keep rocking guys....🤘🤘
  • I saw the show in Denver, Colorado. It was absolutely amazing. I was in Def Leppard heaven. My favorite band of all time since high school in 1987.

    Long time Def Leppard fan here. These guys still rock and they still are creative. They also have a deep respect for their fans and will always deliver a top performance as a result. I do not think there is a better interview in all of rock than Joe Elliott. His complete love for music show through in every interview. And he has to be one of the easiest interviews around since he always gives us so much more than just a basic answer.
  • Seen the stadium tour in Boston Ma you guys blew every band off the stage I was very pleased
  • I've been a fan since 1983 and I've been loving all of the events of the last few years. So exciting!❤❤❤❤❤

    Seeing Def Leppard on the one year anniversary of my husband's passing AND his birthday LITERALLY was my gift to his memory, to our 26 years of marriage, to our teenage years. They are amazing, funny, super down to Earth, talented guys! I wish I could have seen them this year. Keep rockin' fellas!! ❤️❤️🎶
  • @batphink2655
    These two lads are SO level headed and humble considering what they've accomplished over the years!
  • I love how Joe mentions the TV channels on the bus: "Disney Plus!"
  • I got to go both the Leadmill and Bramall Lane gigs - As a fan since '89 who'd seen them many many times before those two gigs were just spectacular
  • It must be an absolute dream to interview the likes of Def Leppard, Robert Plant, Phil Collins, Dave Grohl etc. Megastars who sound like your best mate. Going to see the Lepps at Wembley July 1st, taking the missus,,, it, s gonna be a classic night, what a band. ☺️

    Joe is one cool cat! Phil is under rated amazing guitar player. Sav plays ROCK BASS! Rick can do stuff with one arm that other drummers just can't do! I miss Steve... Viv is a proper respectful guy. Favourite band next to Whitesnake. Put yer balls back in!
  • While UFO were always me favorite have mad respect for Def Leppard. Saw them in Germany in December 83 and they headlined a Monsters Of Rock type festival. Ozzy, Priest, Scorpions, Krokus and Maiden were on the bill and heres these brash youngsters on top of the bill. They took maximum advantage of their opportunity and killed it. This performance is on youtube. It was also the gig where Maiden killed Eddie on stage as they planned to scrap Eddie. In my opinion that was the pivital moment Leppard took their spot as top of the heap in rock n roll. Was cool to witness history. That was December 18th 1983... Keith Richards birthday. Check it out on youtube.
