Classic Rock Magazine - Joe Elliott Interview Quote
"It's very unlikely that we're going to play the States with an unknown band opening for us, because promoters won't allow it to happen," says Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, a band that once gave an unknown band called The Darkness a US tour support. "Promoters want us going out with Heart or Poison opening for us because they know it's gonna sell tickets and that's all they care about. At the end of the day I can't argue with them for that. It makes sense, but doesn't help new bands."
