Joe’s not sick of playing Photograph and I’m not sick or hearing it!

This would have been a dream tour...in '87...

Joe looks fantastic! Can't wait to see him on tour this year! Met him twice last year- very briefly - all of the Leps are very sweet gentlemen.

I love the 80's so good

Man, Joe Elliott seems like an incredibly down to earth guy.

Joe, I love your colourful stories & your terrific sense of humour. Was hoping that this tour would come my way to Vancouver, BC, Canada, maybe another time. I saw you in Seattle in the 80's & you guys had that epic revolving stage. I'm a hard rock singer & I'd love to jam with you, lol. Rock On Super Man.......💜

Love ❤️ joe Elliott my boo!

Schon is my favourite guitarist. His fingers fly! I've always loved watching him as opposed to just listening to him. His wife is beautiful!

I listen to Journey and Def Leppard ALL the time. And so do my neighbors, whether they like it or not!

Joe is very alert and sharp...has endured the rock star thing for very long now...like neil, he had success very early in his teens, neil at 15 and joe around 17...amazing these two guys together...both have been there, done that like few others

Neal Schon is my guitar idol. I saved my lawn mowing money over 2 Summers and bought a Les Paul because that's what Neal Schon played. But, damn! What's with those frankenstein boots?

Seeing them in Houston later this summer...bringing my 14 year old son...can’t wait!

right on neal! being sober', when you older is one of the best things to do for your healths sake. keep on rocking!

So glad to see them still touring man I would I’ve to see them all I grew up listening to them they were awesome much love to them all 💖

Awesome awesome cool and AMAZING enjoy listening to Journey and Def Leppard love

Neal is a guitar master.His playing is friggin incredible.

In 2006 Journey lead sick but Jeff (I believe his name is) effin beyond incredible Milwaukee show..blew the walls down!! 📣🐆🎸🎤

These guys rule!

Interviewer had Steve on the brain. LOL

Yea !!! can't wait see thr concert ,espescially journey ,and def leppard .I 'm ready ca'nt wait !!!! this one of my bucket list ..I am the journey fans n 80 's .lots of love Arnel penida ....

Wow! Neal should've listened to joe talking about a bandmate needing time and they had respect in not replacing him right away after he passed away. Now that's a true family there not just a band!👍 Neal and Jon didn't give Steve Perry the time to figure out a major surgery and time to heal from it.. they also had no problem to replace Steve right away against Steve's wishes. It's sad, and they continue to keep trying to replicate Steve Perry's sound thru other lead singers.

Lol you mentioned Caddyshack! When I was about to meet Billy Squier few weeks back, the first thing I thought of saying was "Billy, Billy, Billy" . I decided not to as I wondered if he'd get it!

2 of my favorite bands...but Def Leppard is number 1.

Joe is well thought and brilliant...

😊 Joe love to see you anytime and the band 🤟🔥🎤🙏💜🙏

Joe continues to look AMAZING especially for someone his age. You put us all to shame JOE!!!! WE are all jealous here!!!

He called Neal “Steve”. Lol.

I wondered that about his shoes. Someone had commented that he wears lifters so he doesn't seem so small compared to his wife who is like 5'10 or close to 6ft. I saw an older pic of him and Carlos and Carlos is almost 5'9 but in the pic he seems like giant standing next to Neal. Neal is one of the finest guitarists in the world no matter what size he is.

Trunk thinks like me, great questions and direction

Funny 1 year later after the RRHOF and Neil and Steve never had that cup of coffee ☕️.... never will either ....😞

Dear Def Leppard please read this. Please play this set list! Now here's a set list: Lets Go, Die Hard The Hunter, Gods of War, Bringing on the Heartbreak, Rock Brigade, Sat Night/HighNDry, Paper Sun, Promises, Hysteria, Women, Ride Into The Sun, Rock Rock till u drop, Too Late for Love, Undefeated, Tonight, Wings of an Angel, Let it Go, I wanna touch you, Slang, Heaven Is, Have you ever needed someone so bad, Sugar, Photograph.....Encore = Mirror Mirror . Rock of Ages. If too long cut out - Heaven Is, Have you ever needed someone, I wanna touch you, Tonight and Slang. So that gives you like like 20 - 25 songs. never ever play a song where the lyrics say "Are you man enough to be my girl" ever again. Thank you, and by the way there is no free will, when will a celebrity say that.

I hope Arnel will sing some of the Defs

cool interview!

Those of us old enough to have been teenagers at the time when Def Leppard broke know that there are really only two great Def Leppard albums and one good one. The rest are money makers but they started out a really great real rock and roll band.

thanks for stepping up for the Struts Joe! you are a legend.

I love this show!!! Search for Come on, Come on by Rock Candy. Also the singer (Jose Anes) had a band B4 Rockcandy called Sinful with Nuno Bettencourt on guitar B4 he was in Extreme! Search for Sinful demo album 1985. Enjoy!!!!

Old Def Leppard is the best. The Rock Brigade and Let it Go. Hope these guys come to the Buffalo area.

Saw JSS on that tour for that reason! JSS Kicked ass!

Jeff scott soto first show with Journey was at Nissan Pavilion now Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow VIRGINIA

Wondering if Arnel from JOURNEY got his voice back. He's was incredible the first years .

I can't wait!!!

I just seen this, recovering from surgery so not much to do. Love both bands. Seen Def Leppard twice but if Steve Perry was back OMG..... on different side, Def Leppard did crossroads with Taylor swift and they were great together.

It's great bands like you guys who should be playing the Superbowl! I'll never understand how it's not happened. Justin T again...Please ...Emoticon whatever! Never wanted him to play the first time!

Yayay my boyfriend Joe Elliott i love 💖 Joe Elliott 🥰🥰🥰

Silly dude, Neal had on clue that On Through The Night was DL's first album. He thought High N Dry was and the mention of OTTN flew right by him. No way he heard radio play of a video from it, didn't even sound like DL and had no singles. Bringing on the Heartbreak from HnD is what started to break them through with radio airplay.

Neal kind of reminds me of actors Kevin Dobson of TV's Kojak fame and James Caan.

Neal is sporting the biggest boots in the world.

id love to see few rare songs from both mostly lep

Pat Travers Blew both Journey and def Leppard of the stage back then

Arnel is good! Game changer now that Steve P. Is back!!!

See you in New Orleans in August 👍

Very cool interview! Didn't catch them for this Tour, Fenway Park in Boston, MA was not on the best places list to catch a great rock show like this! Just my opinion! Saw them in 2006 in Mansfield, MA, now Xfinity Center! Prefer the Amphitheater format better, was a great Concert!

Hell Yeah they should be in the rock HoF I fucking can't believe it. Still.

Neal's Frankenstein boots

16:22 NEAL SCHON (Lead guitarist of Journey) JOE ELLIOTT (Lead Singer of Def Leppard) EDDIE TRUNK (TRUNK NATION HOST), all caps, double font size, please.

It's true about an album's running order of songs being important. I'm convinced, it's why Judas Priest's Point of Entry kind of flopped and considered poppy coming after British Steel, while it's really just as heavy if not even more lively stylistically but a running order of songs is always the listener's first impression.

I saw both bands on the tour Def Leppard was great Journey was ok Journey had sound problems

Every body listen to the young band tempt the do def leppard women song

Correction Neal to the comment "didn't sound like the band" ..You mean didn't sound like Steve Perry. 😉Steve Perry was and always will be Journeys true voice!

PRYZM band...they're good...

I love def leppard but they did play women they played rock on hey kid rock on I wanted too here women listen to this young group tempt they do women song and were spot on

High and Dry Def Leppard's best album by a mile. Pyromania was great after that not my thing.

Whats with Neals Forrest Gump boots?

Neal's boots. Would hate to get kicked or stepped on with those.

Why is Neal wearing clown shoes? lol

joseph lookion good and speaks well

🎸🎸🎸😎

I wonder if Cain is playing this tour or if he and the wife will stay and minister at the White House.

I close my eyes and Eddie Trunk sounds just like Jimmy Kimmel.

25:05 THE STRUTS

I can see how the boys from Journey dislike Neal so much.... he seems like hard work. No wonder Perry left.

Could those mic's be anymore in their faces.

so if they are there to play for the fans and the fans want steve perry whats going on?

Why don't Journey get Hugo to come in and do vocals?

1976 cleveland statum

Oh please, Leppard should do a tour every other year or so that will apeal to the die hards fans, and play all the non hits and deep tracks never played live. Aside from Ded Flatbirds set in Vegas, they have been neglecting the hard rockers and metalheads forever. It's been about the majority hit singles audience forever

Elliot looks like Uwe Ochsenknecht ( German Actor)

TEMPT THE BAND DOES WOMEN THEY WERE SPOT ON !!!!

How ironic is it that in 2018 Joe has Kurt Cobain's haircut?

The crowd isn't gonna collectively get up and walk out if god forbid they play a couple deep tracks from High N' Dry or On Thru The Night or Slang or what have you. It's a cop-out, bullshit excuse he gave and has been giving for 2 decades now. As a true music fan he should appreciate the idea that long time fans still care and would appreciate the effort of mixing it up a bit. Do small club tour with deep cut requests..it's not that difficult--Weird Al is doing it ffs, why can't you guys?

FYI the Struts are over produced pop garbage. they have nothing to do with 70's rock.

Bring back Steve Perry then that will be The "Real Journey". If not, forget it. Bad lead singer. Def all the way...

I love Journey, but I'm really hoping for them to implode.

Neals great on twitter, have a joke with him & he blocks you :D he's one of my biggest influences & I rate him so highly has a musician, but he wants to grow the fuck up & get a sense of humor.

Here's the truth about The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; NOBODY FUCKING CARES!! The HoF is a shit show. Excellent interview, can't believe I listened to the whole thing...

Why would ya want to interrupt your rock ....legend .... And why is this guy so ignorant??,,

I've been to Cleveland's rock and roll Hall of Fame and it's a joke! They've inducted Aretha Franklin and Tupac, but not def leopard and foreigner?! The place is overrated and in my opinion should be on sunset strip in California.

Saxon and journey would be way better

sorry, joe. DF lost it's way after Pyromania.

I could rant about it all day, but Joe's stance on playing the same greatest hits setlist show after show, tour after tour, sucks! As a knowledgeable music lover, he is a hypocrite. Despite his tired old line of saying he wants to hear the Rolling Stones play Brown Sugar and their other hits in concert, he would die to hear something he's never heard before. He's already requested that Journey play Chain Reaction, a song I personally (and I assume most people) have never heard of. On top of that, he has a radio show where he plays mostly deep cuts. He has a side project, the Down-N-Outs that started out playing nothing but Mott the Hoople deep cuts. When you boil it down, he wants to cater to the masses aka the people that only care about hearing the hits. You know, the same people that scoffed at Slang and have no idea that the Songs from the Sparkle Lounge and Def Leppard albums even exist. He's right, those people make up the majority of the ticket holders, but say it like it is and admit that it's about the money. On a side note, it seems like every time Eddie interviews Joe there is talk about the setlist and a small, but hopeless plea for Leppard to play something that isn't expected. Keep trying, Eddie. Maybe instead ask for them to actually do a headlining tour and play 3 hours. Springsteen does it, Guns and Roses do it, Leppard could to. But Joe would shoot that down too so probably should just save your breath. At least we've got the Viva Hysteria stuff, I guess.

I wouldn't waste my time or money to see neither of these week ass sounding bands! They are both washed up in my opinion. Especially Journey! Yes they were great 30 years ago. But to see and hear them live in the present day is disappointing. They simply don't play the older songs with the same sound and energy. And it's a huge let-down. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because neither band has the same musicians as the original recordings. And that changes the chemistry. And then the songs morph into something else they never were intended to be. And it's disappointing.
