  • It turns out that even rock icons still get starstruck!
    Def Leppard frontman (and Planet Rock presenter) Joe Elliott sat down via video call with Dave Grohl to chat about Dave's book 'The Storyteller', and both legends were super excited to meet for the first time!
    In their wide-ranging chat, they discussed how the last year had led both to pursue creative projects, as well as their mutual love for Queen, Joe's memories of touring with AC/DC and Bon Scott, and much more!
    You can hear Joe Elliott on-air every Saturday on Planet Rock, as he plays great music accompanied by stories from 40+ years on the road with Def Leppard: planetrock.com/joe

    Love these guys. Joe Elliott is so humble and such a decent guy. I really admire the way the band stood by their drummer when he lost his arm in that awful accident; they waited for him to come back and encouraged him to do so when the doctors thought it was a pipe dream. They also stood behind Steve through his substance abuse. Great guys.

      @Life Is Peachy - I haven't had the pleasure of meeting the guy, but a couple of friends of mine have, and both of them said that he is in fact absolutely for real and genuine in his enthusiasm for meeting people - and people who love music in particular. You've got to remember that he was only 25 when Kurt died and it's clear that it shook him to the core. Everything he's said and done since indicates that - for all his undoubted talent - he considers himself incredibly lucky to not only have come out the other side of it, but also to eventually achieve success in his own right.
      He's neither seeking attention nor "sucking up" - by all accounts he really does his best to be that positive and enthusiastic with everyone he meets, because he considers himself blessed to be in the position he's in (and he truly is a sucker for any music that rocks).

Given for Joe's longevity in the industry, ridiculous range of influences..... from Bowie, Slade, Queen, Mott the Hopple, Rod Stewart, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, T-Rex, Sweet, and all the bands he grew up lisetning to, playing with/alongside over 40+ years, etc. that is incredible compliment to the Dave and the Foo Fighters. That wasn't gratuitous pandering to Grohl in any way....truly genuine if you know Joe Elliott. It also says a ton about Joe as he continues to stay current, not just stay in his respective music "lane", and appreciate great music regardless from who/where it comes.
