Joe Elliott Quote (on Albums)

“When we got together in 2014 we noticed a trend of people releasing one song a month. They might bang them all together on an album two years later. Other people were just doing EPs. Maybe for a younger generation, an album isn’t important, because they didn’t grow up when it was. But we did. We grew up in the era of ‘Ziggy Stardust’, ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ – the greatest double album of all time in my humble opinion. That’s where we come from. You can’t unscramble an egg. We invested in laying on the bed and looking at the sleeve, reading every word.”

Joe Elliott

"Forty-five years since forming (in 1977, appropriately enough for this issue) and with a frankly obscene amount of record sales under their belts, Def Leppard are still vowing to add to their legacy."

"Their frontman talks T. Rex, tragedy, and chart battles with Michael Jackson."
