The Joe Elliott Show - Quotes

Show Intro

"Hey, hey, hey welcome to Chicago everybody where the Def Leppard/KISS extravaganza is - well after today there's only ten shows left. And then we have got to get back to work and finish an album. So welcome to the Joe Elliott show right here on the very wonderful Planet Rock. Hope you are well. Gonna start the show off this week with some classic Quo."

Motley Crue

"Now we've had one of those very busy weeks as you can imagine. We've been in and out of Canada this week. A fantastic show, fantastic show in Toronto. Totally sold out. Incredible crowd. Really, really those Canadians know how to rock. And while we were parked up actually at one of the venues this week there was a big black bus right outside the hotel. And yeah we kind of figured that looks like a rock bus, knocked on the door who's inside? Nikki Sixx because Motley Crue and Alice Cooper had played the same venue as us the night before. So in honour of that I'm gonna play some Nikki Sixx solo stuff. Actually a band called Sixx A.M."

Def Leppard/Lou Reed

"Well there's a couple of songs with a tenuous link. But a link nonetheless. That is Def Leppard there an old B Side of ours a cover of a David Bowie song called Rebel Rebel. And before that from the Transformer album we heard Lou Reed. A song produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson track called Hangin' Around."

Show Outro

"Now I'm not pointing any fingers in any direction because to be quite frank we all do it. But just to point out that that song actually did come out before Led Zeppelin II. That is an old classic Blues tune done for you there by the Small Faces. the song is called You Need Loving. Small Faces of course featuring the very wonderful vocals of Mr. Stevie Marriott. And before that from the album Libertad we heard Velvet Revolver with their take on the old E.L.O. classic Can't Get It Out Of My Head."

"And that my friends all the way from Chicago, Illinois is about it for this week. Been a pleasure as always - you know that by now - I shall be back with you next week from Clarkston, Michigan when we shall be getting pretty close to winding up the tour. Until then gonna leave you with this classic bit of New Wave Stranglers style. From the album Rattus Norvegicus this is Go Buddy Go. Until next week see ya!."
