The Joe Elliott Show - Quotes
Show Intro
"We meet once again my fellow warriors of rock. In the arena of good taste, where we shall over the next sixty minutes go twelve rounds and the only winner is we the people. All right, it's a little flowery, but hey it's not far from the truth. This is the Joe Elliott show. This is Planet Rock and this is Queen."
Gong/Daevid Allen
"And when we come back we shall be paying tribute to the first of two gentleman that sadly passed away over the last few days. Mr. Daevid Allen from Gong."
"And before that paying tribute to one Daevid Allen from Gong, from the Shamal album we heard Wingful Of Eyes."
Black Star Riders
"A song that reminds me so much of the fighting, night life period of Thin Lizzy. That is the Black Star Riders from their brand new album Killer Instinct with a song called Charlie I Gotta Go which was brilliant when they played it live in Dublin a few weeks ago."
Show Outro
"Something to bring the mood up just a little bit there. Originally the B Side of a song called She's No Angel. Nowdays featured as a bonus track on the album Kitsch. That was the Heavy Metal Kids featuring the amazing, if somewhat erratic, talents on Mr. Gary Holton on lead vocals with a song called Hey Little Girl. And before that from the YEAH! album back in 2006 we heard Def Leppard and their version of the old Free classic Little Bit Of Love."
"And that particular bit of love brings this weeks show to an end folks. It's a pleasure as always, I shall be back with you next week at the same time. Until then we shall go out with some classic U.F.O. From the 1976 album No Heavy Pettin' this is Natural Thing. Until next week see ya!."
