A singer that is just an everyday "Joe" and not a prima donna. What a refreshing change.

Joe, I am a 59-year-old, bald, African American, gay man, living in Michigan. DEF LEPPARD is my all-time favorite band. I simply love, love you guys. Best band on the planet. When I first heard PHOTOGRAPH on MTV, I was hooked. I got the huge DEF LEPPARD choke hold and I can’t free myself. You, guys, are a beast of a group. Joe, you are the epitome of cool. DEF LEPPARD isn’t just a band. You, guys, are a FAMILY. Your fans ( I am your biggest) adore all of you. We won’t have it any other way. Keep cranking out the hits, and we all will keep on rockin’! Thanks for all the great music and memories! Peace.

Much love and respect for Joe!! Here's a man who told Rick after the accident he never thought of replacing him, he's just glad he's alive!! ❤

Honestly the guys in this band seem like the most chill and down to earth guys... it's one of the big reasons I'm still such a huge fan

The Def Leppard sound is a Wall of Sound... No rock band touches them.Their production has always been next level. Rock On Joe!!

Props to Joe for remaining down to earth, forgoing plastic surgery and choosing to age naturally.

One of the most extremely likable lead singers ever, and don't forget he's a helluva motivator. This is the man you want to help you get out of a dead end situation. Plus he's funny as hell.

Lovely down to earth genuine man who knows his knowledge and happy to talk doesn't let fame go to his head

You have to love Joe Elliott and Def Leppard. They staid humble and never let fame get to their heads.

Def leppard is one of the pioneer of hard rock music. Their unique sound make em special.

That Hysteria guitar is fantastic.

Very cool that Joe is comfortable enough to share this with all of his fans.

I like your r- rex banner ,thanks for the tour Joe ❤💯🎵🎶

Saw Def Leppard For The First Time, Live On March 1983. They Were The Opening Act For Billy Squier What A Blast Wonderful Memories. Still A Fan of Billy Squier & Def Leppard Since 1981. Still Have All The Original Vinyl. All These Guy's Were & Are Great Musicians. Steve Clark Will Never Be Forgotten.

Saw DL High n Dry Tour; San Bernardino Swing standing room and bleachers in the back---- epiC!!

One of the biggest thrills of my life was getting to meet this dude in 2007 - such a sweetheart!

What a really decent fella. I've been a fan since 1984 and love 'em to bits for 40 years. Big respect, Joe!!!

Def and Mutt. The Stellar combination.

You can always tell a legit musician because they have a studio

I love how Joe is such a deep-rooted fan of music and rock history.

The Perfect Home Studio - Awesome -

Met them all when I was a kid on the first night of the Hysteria album. All great lads!

Great studio Joe !! Absolutely Amazing 🎤🎸🥁🎸

I’m not a huge Def Leppard fan but Joe is so humble considering all they’ve achieved. He’s also pretty tech savvy when it comes to this stuff.

Yaaay, Joe!! You gotta Neve! Ronan certainly knows his shit! Best console ever! Flying Faders!! My partner worked for Neve (NYC) in the late 80’s, early 90’s. He even met Rupert Neve at an AES Awards Show! I’ve wired up and installed so many of these (8068, 8078, 8088 VR Series) in NYC. Back then, every studio bought one; the other being SSL (which also kept me very busy). You have ALL the great, old, analog outboard gear, and it looks like you’re using a U87. I love all your guitars! Can’t go wrong. Great engineer, great equipment = great sound. Of course, you and your mates have GREAT TALENT. Thanks for the tour! Thank you for all the music; it always puts a smile on my face! Rock of Ages, indeed! Cheers!!!😊❤🤘🎸🎶🍻🥃

Hello Joe! I love the pink tips you've added to your hair! You're such a beautiful person, so real, down to earth!😊❤

Your the very best and you will always remain my favorite singer since 1977 till ? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a genuinely nice guy

"we're not precious about "it's got to be live" it's like no... it's got to be good" 👍

Def Leppard got me through my training in Coronado....U.S. Navy 85'-92'👍🇺🇲 Thanks guys!

The 8424 is going for 30k... and they gots 2 of them. Very cool

Saw these guys in chesterfield before they made it big... They opened ther'e set with Rosalie by Thin Lizzy...I'm proud to have seen them beginning ther'e Amazing journey.✅🎶🎸

I`ve been a punk my whole life been lucky enough to meet this guy more than once total gentlemen and his speech at the rock n roll hall of fame was by far the best one ive ever seen,respect always top man top band...

Awesome Vocalist Great Guy

I saw these at Southampton England just B4 they hit the big time, you can tell when something special is occurring!!

Joe is an absolute legend. Him and his band have been through more drama than most bands will ever do, and they are still has strong as they were in the Pyromania days. Have admired Joe and how he still keeps his feet firmly on the ground.

0:16 "He used to cut my grass, he was a very nice boy."

My favourite band ever, as a kid in secondary school 1985 - 1990 I used to listen to them all the time in my bedroom full blast and getting shouted at by my parents to 'turn that rubbish off!'. And when I got the 'In the round in your face' vhs video I used to watch it every single morning before school. Still my favourite band. Dream came true when I seen them in concert in Newport, South Wales. Rock on Def Leppard.

Nothing Like an 8424 Rock on! ❤

Spent a couple of days in this room mid 90's helping out with whatever album was being made at the time. He's a fun guy and remember him always being in a good mood.

That purple light on Joes hair at the start makes him look like somebodies nan 😂

Absolutely love how upfront and down to earth Joe is, and always been a fan of Def Leppard one of the best bands to ever come out of the UK best wishes Paul Jackson

If you wanna have a rock band, emulate these guys. This is how it's done.

Love Joe and Def Leppard Been a fan since 14 and am 37 this year and fell in love with the new album 😅 favourite song was kick. I love the fact hes from Sheffield, so close to home ❤ I loved it more when Supernatural the tv show used Def Leppard in the chevy impala 😅 my favourite old school Leppard songs have to be Photograph ❤ Armageddon It ❤ Rock of ages ❤ Animal ❤ The humor in some songs is absolutely fabulous great job guys

Can't wait to see you guys hopefully again in 2024!!! It's been awhile!!! Miss you Joe!!! Say hey to the bandmembers!!!

Absolutely awesome an amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love everything about it. You are such a very talented musician 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶, singer an song writer. Just love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ in you guy's.

Not a massive Def Leppard fan, but saw them live and they were phenomenal. Really good show and fantastic musicians; I think Phil Collen has to be one of the most underrated guitar players around. He is absolutely superb. Joe Elliott also seems like a great bloke.

Hello Joe, Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta. Loved seeing Def Leppard along with Poison, Motley Crue, & Joan Jett. Wow, what a concert. Hope to see you & the boys again in the future. Take care & God Bless!

Joe is the ultimate studio nerd! He's also a nice guy. They say you should never meet your heroes, but refreshingly, he was just NORMAL. Chatty & didn't make me feel like he HAD to talk to this small-time rock jock.

More videos like these! This is great.

You are so great never stop listening to you fan for life

Ronan is the man. I got to watch him mix Leppard every night on the coheadliner stadium tour last year and it was the best rock mix I’d ever heard.

Awesome video. What was great to see was what I think was a pair of Boss RCL10 comps. That was my very first comp back in the late 80s/90s. Anyways Neve consoles are amazing.

I love honesty and dedication... Then throw in some Mutt and you have projection moving Forward 🙏

Thanks brother. Icon 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love the way Joe invested his money wisely and made the band financially independent from the label and fought for the digital rights to their music. As exemplified in this video, so much of the technology needed for a fantastic sounding album is easily obtainable for home studios and it only continues to become more and more economically viable for people/bands to setup their own studios. Now, getting the talent behind and in front of the equipment - that will always remain the challenge.

Love old Def Leppard]. Pre Hysteria... High In Dry is one killer record!! \m/

You've all stood the test of time! It was awesome seeing you in Houston! Keep playing and inspiring others. Rock On!

Got every album they've ever made and lost my voice squealing at concerts. *LOL* Love em.

My cousin is a HUGE fan of this band.

I remember seeing the band in Saratoga in 2016 (?), and watching Joe with just an acoustic in front of 15,000 people…. And thinking that he killed it. When you think of Def Leppard, you think of the whole band (at least I do) because they behave as a band. They present themselves as a band. There’s no “Star”. Impossible not to be impressed!

Hey Joe, loving the studio !! Fun room , Absolutely Amazing ❤❤❤

I grew up through the. 80’s! I loved when a def leopard song came on! I turned their music so loud’ still do ! On hair nation! On the radio! ! Joe is so humble! Keep on rocking joe! Your music was so unbelievable rocking! Loved your ballets.

Keep doing what you guys do. It will be good. It's easy to see how much you enjoy doing it. Thanks for the invite guys, great tour. 👍💕

this studio is only 1 mile from my home. howdy neighbour Joe

I set up a studio in my downstairs mainly for me but also take on projects. When I record I move the computer mouse, turn on the interface power and I'm ready to record. Nothing beats having a setup that go from off to recording in seconds!

My wife and I caught them live in Vegas a couple years ago. We both came away saying how incredible they sounded. The mix was perfect. You could literally hear every ping of the ride cymbal and differentiate all notes. Hard to explain, but it was stellar.

Love Def Leppard since the beginning. They are full blown rock stars!!!! Love you Joe!!!

Amazing for a Leppard fan since the release of On Through the Night to finally see the famed Joes Garage. Thank you to the #1 Leppard "Mr. Joe" for sharing with us. I have always wanted to see this studiio where so much Def Leppard music was born. DSH was such a huge leap into the now I'm foaming at the mouth to hear what's next. Never thought I'd get to see the day when you would share this out. A Leppard fan dream come true. And Def Leppard mixes, live especially, can't be outdone. Love from 🇺🇸.

I think it's cool how very down to earth Joe Elliott is. Loved the music. Still do. Hysteria was a huge album. I grew up in the 80's and as far as rock n roll stadium bands were. These guys definitely stole the show. Steve Clark was a brilliant musician. Still missed. ❤

I love Def Leopard. Now, I love Joe, too. 😊

Love it.. My wife and I have a recording studio in a min pedal sim with amp cab sim's drum sims etc.. We are looking at a new house where we will build our studio. . Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶

Def Leppard is a legends from an epic rock music era, there will be no more music like that. Best wishes to all of them and thanks for the video

Beautiful!!!

Hello. Thank you so much for this nice share. Great band, for sure

Ugh that Hysteria guitar looks AMAZING!

Joe always comes across as a lovely, humble guy. I worked on some power supplies for a massive 1970s Neve console for a local studio here in Fremantle, Western Australia a few years back. Awesome sounding equipment and beautifully constructed.

I saw Def Leppard in concert on their 30-year anniversary of their first live show, which was held in my city. 😊❤ Love then. You know it is live when they show they are just like any of us!

That Neve desk is a beauty.

I love the fact that Def leppard are so honest and northern UK sounding. Keep it real. 😎

"Hysteria" shaped my rock taste for all of my life. Thank you for being that much talented.

One of the best bands at explaining the band experience.

Pyromania is the album of a generation.. epic tracks. High n Dry equally important.

Amazing set up - I just wish he still lived in Sheffield. Such a genuine guy - love you Joe ❤

Been a fan since 1980. Thanks mate!

Awesome, Def Leppard rocked man still have all my cd's . I'm getting old now still enjoy the music.

A genuine person , thanks for sharing this with us! During the 1980s, in my teens and discovering rock music, it was a breath of fresh air to hear a Rock Band that were, here in England! Sheffield, thank you for being so down to earth and inspiring

My producer lived close to Rupert in Kyle, Texas and we recorded at of the same studio as my favorite band Def Leppard and that studio was the #2 studio at Abbey Road in 2008 just days before Brian Wilson and his crew were there and our band was given the only t-shirts that were left from Wilson's crew an ugly green color, thanks Brian!

this is not a homestudio, its a studio inside a home. [edit] And i love it! ❤

What a very cool guy. The Studio looks so cozy functional and intelligent~✨

Gotta love the old rockers 😊

Excellent Video Guys and the tour seems to be going well great to hear Def Leppard’s music again 👍

Great job Handsome.. DAD AND I BOTH LOVE YA!!!

Def Leppard have always been a cut above.

Fantastic video - great balance between the personalities, history of Joe's albums and the Neve technology. Look forward to more in this series.

I love Joe Elliott and Def Leppard especially keeping Rick Allen as their drummer.😊

Neve, thanks so much for sharing, and thank you Joe for the tour!

I love geeking about this stuff!
