[@giggles8963]

Joe Elliott is someone who would be an honour to meet someday... A pure genius and humble genuine soul!

[@julierayner4672]

Joe Elliott always does great interviews and he really talks straight from the heart.He is very passionate about what he does.

[@BunnieBaumayr-zl3wm]

He is so comfortable when he speaks. Very intelligent and knowledgable. Keeps up with so many music genres. Such a good person and very personable.

[@TheCmacneil]

He has to be the sexiest man on Earth

[@dianecelotto9234]

One of the best front men ! Absolutely Amazing 🤩🤩🤩

[@allanthomas9479]

I met Joe Elliott when I played drums for Verden Allen from Mott the hoople we where at the Mott the hoople convention 1999. Nice guy.

[@creepypastamaster9246]

He seems really kind

[@jessabean13]

gotta say; that's the best joe hair ever, I think.

[@codyy205]

jessabean13 doesn’t beat the 1987 mullet or the 1983 down hair though ;)

[@laveepinealgoddess111]

Awesome band absolutely love def leppard ❤

[@Leps262]

Great hair Joe!

[@emmaowens467]

I have always thought that Joe and the guys are the best can't wait to see you guys in August

[@szymusiek1980]

the year 2000 is really far away from now, it was so long time ago, that year still belongs to the 90's. So it's normal that Joe looks so young there. And his voice is better, not like today. In 2000 everybody was pretty young.

[@emmaowens467]

That's not fair I want to see you guys in concert and lots more!! Love you guys always

[@shizzle7642]

Saw them on that tour I believe night before or after in Spokane Washington at the dog race track standing on straw to keep mud off our feet. I’ve seen almost every tour and some multiple shows and at this time in their career they were far from the big stadium gigs but I had faith in their talent that they would be on top again. Loved them since 1981 before all the chics found them

[@jessabean13]

@jessabean13 yes, sort of a long, shag, multi-level, mid-mullet. It's the best of all worlds! :D

[@DefLeppVidz]

@1kydde2 heh yeah, but I think he looks more like he did in the Pyromania-era, early 80s. Just check out the performance I uploaded recently of Let's Get Rocked in 2000, or Andy's video of Promises from the same show.

[@ILovezombieboy]

Joe’s talking about Pete so they show a picture of Sav wtf

[@teresabosworth1481]

You all better stop drinking remember what drinking did to your friend Steve Clark

[@shizzle7642]

Slang was awesome but released in the season of Nirvana and not a big hit but they were never pinned down by being catagorized ie hair band, grunge, pop etc and back in 1981 I knew they were special! Still have all the albums, autographed stuff, shirts, picks, backstage pass, big box of stuff I informed my son (he’s 32) is his inheritance! 🤣😂

[@GuillermoVizcaino]

lets call the album "commercial suicide" hahahahahahhaha I would've bought that anyway I must say

[@mikeystarr775]

Nope. You’re thinking of Slang. Euphoria is a cross between hysteria and adrenalize with just a touch of modern elements

[@GuillermoVizcaino]

@@mikeystarr775 I agree hahaha, I was quoting Joe's answer precisely about Slang

[@mikeystarr775]

Guillermo Vizcaino gotcha

[@yelizaveta1278]

.. and they've achieved that

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

this dude is cool

[@MissJenni2642]

@rpowarz that is such an understatement!

[@mikehauser2522]

Defleppard #1

[@MissJenni2642]

@jessabean13 well its still kinda mulletlie isnt it? kinda. maybe borderline

[@DianaLee5904]

[@DianaLee5904]

[@sabrab2567]

Good frontman. Ego, yes. I really wish he would not slam PeyeWillis. Joe is worth tens of millions. Took DL all the way to the top with his vision.Getting rid ofPete and even Steve to a point, ok. Why knock someone who is not on your level and no where in your world.

[@jackdixon29jd]

He wasn't slamming Pete or Steve. It was Pete who was a great guitar player and the backbone of Lep in the early days but he couldn't just couldn't handle his alcohol and it has a massive detrimental effect on him so they had to let him go. Exact same thing with Steve although slightly different because they gave Steve a 6 month leave of absence in late 1990 so Steve could try and clean himself up but it never came to be as he died in January 1991 and he was meant to come back just over a month later. But it never happened.

[@VINYLIZER]

Vince neils girlfriend 7:28

[@mnagz5]

"We realized that either we had to change with the times or die" I love this band but that's the dumbest thing I've heard from Joe's mouth. Slang is where Def Lep really messed up.

[@davidstewart4310]

Best album they ever made!

[@AMarie-wp4wk]

The album wasn’t their best however it’s a lot better than it was given credit for. I think it’s more popular now than it was than

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

RetroActive is pretty awesome as well
