Jim Kerr Q 104.3 - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes
NFL Performance/Will it catch on in the UK?
"Well it sold out in about three minutes - that's 90,000 tickets. So I don't know what do you think?."
"I was pitch side just as the Raiders got the first touchdown of the game. I was doing some interviews post performance if you like for us and I couldn't hear the questions. I mean I've been there. I've seen soccer at Wembley but I've never heard a noise like what I heard yesterday. It was insane. It really was like, because you're trapped inside this huge stadium, I thought I was in America. There wasn't an English accent to be heard anywhere backstage. It was mental. It was such a great atmosphere."
Performance Reception?
"You know it's really hard to tell when you're that far away from them. You know because a. You're an Hors d'oeuvre in this situation. They're there for the football they're not there for us. We're a nice added attraction if they happen to be fans you know. We got a great reception at the end. I couldn't really see if anybody was leaping up and down because they were like 120 yards away. It's too far and it's the middle of the day and stuff but it seemed to go down well."
