There'd just never be enough time and your family starts to suffer. It's just one of those things where there isn't enough time in between Def Leppard tours to go proper gung-ho. Then when we get the album finished there may be the odd opportunity to do the occasional gig. When there's a hole in their schedule and a hole in mine we'll get together and do some work. But at this moment in time, and rightfully so, Leppard is priority, as are Quireboys for the rest of the guys. We're about six songs into a second album, which hopefully I'll get to finish off when this tour's done.
Very '70s.Īre you working on anything with the band at the moment? 1 in America with "England Rocks" and "Overnight Angels," respectively, and we got to be second on the bill to ELP at the inaugural High Voltage festival in 2010, which was a lot of fun, including a proper full-on fistfight backstage with road crew which was brilliant. We've got the one album out, which did very well for us - we had a No.
Oh, good! So we do have a purpose in life! That's great! Well the Down 'n' Outz are in a holding pattern at the moment over Planet Rock. I remember hearing "Rocket" by Def Leppard as a kid and it made me go back and find out who all the bands were that you namechecked. then of course you want to be in.It makes total sense that you have the Down 'n' Outz play Mott The Hoople stuff. “I’m definitely not Groucho Marx, ‘Any club that would have me as a member I don’t want to join.’ When you think that every band that means anything in the world, starting from the Beatles and the Stones and any artist that influenced them - your Chuck Berrys, your Little Richards, etc. “When I look at the list of who’s in, it’s just obvious you’d want to be in that club, isn’t it?” he says. But Elliott acknowledges that he is hoping there will be something positive to talk about during early December, when the Rock Hall inductees are usually revealed. The group has done some “bits and bobs” of recording, though no new album is planned at the moment. While Rock Hall voting is going on Def Leppard will be busy on the road, playing Hysteria full-album shows in Hawaii, Japan, Australia and other markets, wrapping up for the year during mid-December in London.

It’s not this cloak and dagger thing, it is actually bringing the real people to have a bit of a vote on it, if you will.” That sort of makes it a lot more realistic for us. “People keep sending us snapshots if they’re at the (Cleveland) museum - ‘Check out the fan vote!’ and there’s our name at the top, like 300 percent higher than whoever is the No. “That’s kind of swung our attention into a much more positive situation,” Elliott explains. So I’m not taking anything for granted.” Nevertheless, Def Leppard is buoyed by the fan vote that comprises one ballot, and usually picks eventually inductees such as Bon Jovi, Chicago and the Moody Blues. Judas Priest didn’t get in last year, and it’s a big disappointment for them that they didn’t. “I’m not gonna hold my breath because I know how this can go. Nevertheless, Elliott and company are trying to keep a lid on their excitement as voting gets under way. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Reveals 2019 Nominees: Def Leppard, Janet Jackson & More
