Really great interview guys. I have so much respect for Joe and Def Leppard. When Rick lost his arm, they stuck with him. Incredible. Run Riot and Gods of War are just awesome songs, they should have released both songs as singles. Greetings from Australia. Thank you for this.

JOe has an amazing memory... .He should turn all he remembers of the Def Leppard into a Book, while he still remembers it all so well.

I'd love to listen to a new album by Def Leppard /Robert John Mutt Lange sometime in the future!! that would be precious for the world! I also enjoy Joe Elliot's AC DC type of voice as in Rock Rock till you drop , Run riot or when He does a melodic falsetto as in the outro of the song Blind Faith. It has a different color than Brian Johnson's voice being in the same style of Raspy Falsetto. Also a Mutt Lange solo album with Mutt playing everything and singing would be awesome!

Can listen to Joe talk anytime. It also speaks to why he has legendary charisma on stage. He's all in on communicating and sharing. So open.

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen from Joe and honestly I can sit here and listen to him talk forever!!! I absolutely love his voice so ty for bringing this to us!!!

I really enjoying hearing joe speak about music. You can tell he has always lived and breathed music his whole life. I feel the same. So many historic bands and songs to discover for those that keep searching. Great interview. Keep em coming. Thanks. Everybody keep buying records and supporting your favorite artists so they don't disappear.

guys...it is great to watch an interview when the hosts are so knowledgeable about the subject. this is the type of interview that uncovers things not touched on in past interviews...you can tell how comfortable Joe is because he can appreciate the in depth questions. just a great job.

Awesome job, what a great interview. Was an hour well spent.

I hope we get another album from these legends. They aren’t getting any younger and God forbid we lose one of them. The 2015 self titled record was an instant classic and if they build on that and give us one more like that it will be a great bookend to one remarkable career.🔥

Jeremy this is by far the BEST Joe Elliott interview I’ve had the please of watching over the years. The technical stuff is great but he is just so full of music love, it is absolutely intoxicating!! Thanks again! Cheers - R

i know he might be hard to find because no one has interviewed him in years would love see you guys interview billy squier imo one of the most underrated artists in rock history

Incredible interview Jeremy! Joe is always such a great guest and great guy.

Amazing interview with Joe, thank-you for that!

Epic interview! Great to hear about it all at great length, thanks guys! :-)

Another Great Interview Jeremy & Mitch! Thank You! 🇨🇦🇬🇧🚀

I love the way Joe is such a fan of music he grew up with...that usually translates to a great musician. all of those influences filtered through to form something fresh ....

Considering that most groups out of the 80's were all but irrelevant by the mid-90's, Def Leppard managed to thrive. I say thrive because they were able to keep their foundational sound, but re-engineer it to accommodate the new millennium, and beyond. Keep in mind they still made one triple platinum and two gold albums in the 90's. To this day, they garner new cohorts of fans; tour every 1-2 years; and consistently perform at the top of the pyramid. I think people should appreciate what this band has accomplished. I always make an effort to see them when they come near town. I hope they have at least 10-15 years left. Given that they're all in great shape for their age (especially Phil), and let go of the hard drugs and alcohol decades ago, they're in full command of whatever is they want to accomplish. Long live Def Leppard! #rockbrigade

What a band, what a singer, what a great guy! Thanks for this interview.

Very good interview well done by everyone thank you for doing this interview and thank you for sharing this including the person that's hosting this

Great job again! It's a good week for us Classic Rock junkies, Bonamassa's interviewing DC tomorrow! :)

I was lucky enough to be invited along to a spend a couple of hours with the band along with a few other fans as part of a Spotify reward scheme, at their homecoming show in Sheffield in 2018. Before we watched the sound check, we had a Q&A with them. Their passion for what they do was so evident in that session and they genuinely respect their fans. Their desire to make music and to entertain is as strong now than it ever has been. It was so obvious they have every intention of carrying on for many years yet. At the very least one more full studio album, as for the cybernauts, Joe did say that day that it is definitely something they would like to do again.

Great interview. Thank you very much! 🙋🏻‍♂️

The “X” album and the “Yeah” album are two of their very best for sure! Absolutely love those two albums. My two favorites outside of the stuff they did with Mutt (the Promises single of course included).

Great interview thanks guys!

I must say Joe I want to give you a blessing on the songs that you think are not worth keeping but get your heart enjoyed doing them do not abandon your heart if you felt something playing the song it's worth fixing and making it much better do not throw away the song that touches your heart or something in the band's heart

Best Joe Interview ever...........

Nice one! One hour interview and only 2 questions asked! Haha! Joe does not hold back. Great question about Neighbours sounding like Leppard.

Thank you Joe thank you everyone for such a wonderful video interview

Great catch on the interview- a cool guy from one of the hardest working bands! (I still think they should bow out of the Motley tour- and hit the road ASAP)

Great interview with Joe, he really knows his music history too !! I am sure they will be coming out with some new music. They liked the way that they made their last album. They still sound great and their world 🌍 tour 2023 is a great success!! Absolutely Amazing 🤩🤩🤩

Great interview, you guys ask logical and interesting questions.

Front row Irvine Meadows with Billy Squier then another great show at Jack Murphy. Incredible tour

Great interview. I'd have liked to hear a question asked about new music just to hear Joe's reply even though I know you guys asked Phil. Also would like to know if there are any plans for a remastered edition of the In The Round release as that would look great on Blu Ray. Joe is fun to listen to though and really appreciate just how big of a fan of music history he is. And Mitch, yes, Pyromania was huge in the US! I remember Leppard battling Michael Jackson on the charts and appearing on American Bandstand :) That's really when they started taking off in the US.

Great Interview!

Loved it!

Great interview

The thing I didn’t realise is that a nickname like Mutt does a disservice to Lange. He’s well spoken and erudite; a bit like Martin with the Liverpool outfit.

Joe has got the Richard Harris smirks and laughs 😊❤️🇳🇴going on

You have probably a very large and very good studio I envy you and the sound effects and everything you could do I should try some of them with my small studio but I don't think it would make it quite as good as yours you have fun with it and so do I I love the studio

Love this interview looking Good Joe love the white hair professor 😉

Funedically friendly I'll have to keep that in mind when I write

Where's Hysteria sessions Desert Song let's goooo!

Thank you for asking Joe the most important question for me: what is Volume 4 going to be? I can't wait.... 2022 or 2023? Regards from Costa Rica.

That's a good concept that they want to diversify in there music it would keep there music fresh.

Love Joe kick ass On through the nite, High and Dry

My word Jeremy, you have done it again. Ps, evh5150 was killer!

good stuff

Thank you for this interview,,, love everything Def Leppard,,,, I will continue to say I believe everyone doesn't realize the talent of Def Leppard,,,

That was pretty spesh 👌

Regarding the song "No Matter What" being heard live in concert in Florida by the "last surviving member" of Badfinger, Joey Molland, is still alive. He has lived in Minnesota for a very long time. Mike Gibbins, Badfinger's drummer, did live in Florida for many years. Mike died in October, 2005. I am guessing Joe Elliot is referring to Mike Gibbins. Badfinger's version is best but Leppard's _is_ good.

Holding out for an Def Leppard/Dann Huff produced record.

Being a fan of both Bryan Adams & Def Leppard I always felt that Post Pyromania Def Leppard albums sound more like Bryan Adams. Bryan Adams Reckless was one of the best pop rock records all time having 6 Singles reaching Billboard Top 15 along with Thriller and Born in the USA at that time in 1984-5. Heaven reached number 1. Melodic and extremely catchy with amazing Guitar work done throughout the album. That was his signature album and will always be. Well Mutt and Co had this in mind and tried to make that sound a little bigger and polished in Hysteria. It was such a coincidence that after the outstanding Into the Fire Album Bryan worked with Mutt for his next project. Waking up the Neighbours was composed, recorded and released before Def Leppard Adrenalize. Most of the songs in Adrenalize sound like the songs rejected for Waking up the Neighbours Album. In other words, after giving a listen to both albums one after another is just like listening Waking up the Neighbours Volume 1 & 2. Bryan’s and Mutt’s co produced sound is all over Def Leppard’s Adrenalize. For Instance, I Wanna Touch You is a complete rip off of Bryan’s All I Want Is You. Stand up Kick Love into Motion sounds very similar to Bryan’s Thought I Died and Gone to Heaven. Even the guitar solo in Stand Up is directly taken for Bryan’s House Arrest. Heaven is sounds like Not Guilty. Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad is very similar to Do I Have to Say the Words? The guitar solo in Bryan’s All I Want is you is copied in both I Wanna Touch You and When Love and Hate Collide. The Drums sound in Adrenalize is just like Waking up the Neigbours. Mutt Lange Factor! But any ways Reckless, Hysteria, Waking up the Neighbours, Adrenalize, 18 til I die and On a Day like Today are my favorite albums that I keep listening to this day. Outstanding pop rock records.

Leopard is awesome

Joe Elliot looks great. Lean and Trim.

Jeremy, if you ever have Joe or Phil on the podcast again, can you pleeease ask them about the extended guitar solos section at the end of Love Bites live in Sheffield in 1993? (I’m sure you’ve seen it…it was featured on the Visualize home video.) That was such an epic, beautiful three minutes of ballad rock music. I would love to know all the details that went into the composition of that section of music.

I must get to the rest of my things that I must do I spent a lot of time on you this week we looking at some of the things of all of yours and taking to look at some of the new interviews you've done you're so impressive all the work you do you are very youthful and very attractive

Joe just gave new album title diamond star halos

The greatest band

You guys are very worldly as I can see and you got to experience the whole world that world got to experience you which is not as much as the hair bands from California I understand

My Lord Joe youth know so much about bands and music aside from your own that is very good I have to admit I envy it because I have not done that I stay focused on people I like and that is it I don't know Branch out you are very broad-minded and that's good I am a very I like only certain people I love Def Leppard there are a few others I like prior to Def Leppard but you know for likes since 1992 I've been listening to Def Leppard and then I stopped to enter into being a part of God's Kingdom about almost 3 years ago and I came back listening to you again cuz I missed you

@Jeremywhite please tell Joe……He has said the band’s boss are the fans…so…please tell Joe that a lot of his fan bosses would like to see a collaboration with Pete Willis before it’s to late. Make Leppard a 6 pieces band maybe through writing then recording it then make it an album collaboration with Pete or have Pete on stage again play their early stuff from the EP to Pyromania then put it on KZfaq or video to sell. Joe can’t say now that there’s only 3 original founding members why they can’t play their early stuff, but by putting Pete in will make it 4 original founding members…sadly…without Steve Clark. Joe has to tell Pete it’s the fans requesting his return. Please make this happen Jeremy. It will be a great surprise to the Leppard fans if this happens. To think of it might as will make it a 7 piece band bring back Tony Kenning on drums. Also ask Joe what about a tribute concert for Mutt Lange by gathering all the singers and bands he had produce or put out the greatest hit on CD that has been produced by Mutt throughout his producing years. Please send this message for us fans :)))

Joe bravo on all you do and God bless you and all your loved ones hold on to God and you'll live forever and always and your song could go on for as long and forever as you want but in heaven you'll be worshiping god with your music a good example of worshiping God is by wearing the cross which I've seen you wear in the past I've seen you wear necklaces too with the cross I pray for your bands to always come out with it never give up you can keep going for a long time your energy level is so strong and you're so useful and youthful that nothing will stand in your way!!! I wish I had some of your energy and health but I will pray that I get better thank you very much for all the songs that you did and all the videos you did and being open to your audience giving them all your private life of influences how much is influences and how much is the gift from God influence that works through the Holy Spirit that brings out your creativity of your own..

I think at that time was also considered the British invasion after the Beatles started and the girls here in America didnt mind did it all

The misconception is all based upon a single band photo of the group from the Adrenalize Record (1992) which was oddly released - get this, a year after Nirvana had already released Nevermind. The "hair band" scene was already long dead which makes this posthumous assumption even all the more absurd. I forgot which writer started this rumor, but I am sure if it's researched you will find the answer.

Def Leppard are still a little underrated.. the band has massive talent and look at the history of the band.. I thought it was incredibly thoughtful and showed respect to Rick Allen when he had his accident and then they say hey we are going to let you choose if you wanna stay or go... That is loyalty.. most or all would be searching for a replacement as soon as the accident occurred.. I see people talking about the Crue... Poor Vince needs to get his shit together and take a few pages for Joes book... Come on Vince lay off the McDonald's and booze bro... Your ruining your legacy.....

we need ded flatbird back

We can only be friends cuz you're found out you're still married however I would love to have you produce my music it would be such an honor we have a lot in common with songwriting all the music is my own and I work alone for I have no musicians to work with me I am home on oxygen right now working with a portable studio by cast cam 32 track

This is amazing, can Joe get anymore HANDSOME OMG I am about to FAINT OVER HERE 👈! That beautiful smile and face, I gots to kiss 💋 those LIPS !

God bless you Jeremy on this Father's Day if you are a father I say Happy Father's Day to you you have a good father in heaven your heavenly father of Jesus is also your father I would think you believe in God if you love him Happy Father's Day

Joe if you are not married anymore let me know I'm interested for sure I'm on KZfaq also I'm relatively a new artist of Christian music

Hahaha..when Joe talks,he talks...no chance for Jeremy and the other guy

You're very handsome also you're beautiful if the key to the kingdom I received from you and your song and then I found God and his kingdom while I'm alive on Earth

A couple of geeks interview joe elliot...seriously what a stupid question about mtv...who gives af if mtv was the vehicle that brought the music to us. Joes exactly right, i was 12 yrs old and i hrd photograph before i ever knew about high and dry. Who gives af!! Thanks mtv!!(u know.. before sumner redstone🤮

Who cares what Bryan Adams thinks, Joe is right. The album was a rip off and there were very few good songs on it. Adams has a well-earned reputation as a hot head anyway.

joe needs to fix his hair color

Joe Elliott has 30 Million in the Bank from royalties and STILL can't get a good haircut that doesn't look like a wet mop draped over his skull lol

This is definitely the shitiest of the box sets without a doubt I love dad leppard and yes they got my money on all of them but this does suck for the most part garbage

The clock on the wall, the only face of truth. OMG, he didn't age well at all. Must've of lied about his age when he first started. Cause this guy looks every bit of 70.

Joe always tries to put the band up with the Stones ,Purple and Queen.They are nowhere near as good.High and Dry was their best album..after that It was all powder puff BS.He was never a good singer ..always struggled in live performances

Joe Elliott likes the sound of his own voice too much AND is too self-congratulatory; sure, he's achieved everything but he needs to shut the fuck up about how good Def Leppard are and how important they are...c'mon be a little bit modest...and stop putting yourself up there with Queen....biggest mistake they made as a band - not drafting John Sykes in after Steve died. Having said that I like some of their music very much...

Drop Steve’s Adrenalize demos already please!!!

"You bust your nuts recording TEN tracks in a year"???? Come on Joe..... Kiss recorded two albums a year right through the 70s. Ten songs in a year and your record company wanted three songs to go with each single and you were complaining??? When there were thousands of unsigned bands who'd give their eye teeth to be where you are?? Come on...... Get some perspective buddy.
