Radio Nova 100FM - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes
"You get these offers made and it's like Do you wanna come and play entire Hysteria album in the Hard Rock. We've played there before and it was such a great vibe it was a great place to play. It's way more intimate than your regular gig. So that makes it kind of fun to do."
"We get an opportunity for once in our lives to go on tour without going on tour."
"There's a bit of pressure there because it's one hell of an album to try and replicate on stage with only five people."
"Over the years we've regularly played on and off at least 7 of the 12 tracks. There's 3 songs we haven't played since 1988. There's 4 songs that Vivian's never played."
"Actually for the first three shows we'll play a totally different set before we do Hysteria. It'll be different every single night."
The interview starts at 5:23 on the Friday 18:00hours player at the bottom of the linked page (Audio/Listen Again link on the show page).
Thanks to Cindy.
