swaves interview with Joe Elliott
Joe Elliott is a cool dude. I'm not going to sit here and try to tell you he's "just a regular guy" because he's not - he is, after all, a mega-rock star many times over. But talking to him about music is easy, and fun - as I found out recently when I had the good fortune of being able to ask him as many questions as I could cram into a thirty-minute interview. I spoke to him about everything from his band's latest album "X" to whether or not he secretly listens to Slayer, and he pretty much tackled everything I threw at him. Now don't tell Joe this, but, going into our chat I was really keyed up, and I damn near puked. I mean… this wasn't some ho-hum so-and-so that allegedly used to be in the Allman Brothers, this was Joe freaking Elliott, lead singer for Def Leppard!
"It took about a year for "X" to be written and recorded - was it a blast, or was it a long year?"
"Did any of the stuff that you recorded in your home studio make it to the album?"
