Sleaze Glammer Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Jade Wright of the Liverpool Echo recently conducted an interview with Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliot. After more than three decades in the music business, you might expect Def Leppard to rest on their laurels. The Sheffield super group has sold more than 65m records, making them one of the biggest acts in the history of British rock. But they're just about to go back out on the road, and in this week's midweek charts - both for the UK and America - their new album, The Sparkle Lounge, is No. 5. "Thirty-one years in the business and we're infiltrating the top five," laughs singer Joe Elliot. "I'm not complaining. It's just a strange place to be after so long. We must be in the right place at the right time." I caught up with Joe this week to find out more about his taste in music, and what - if anything - is on his iPod. "Of course I've got an iPod," grins Joe. "I've got an iPhone too." He gets it out of his pocket to prove the point. "I'm a bit of a technophile when it comes to music. "I listen to lots of different things. Eclectic, I suppose you'd have to call my tastes." He scrolls through some of his favourite choices. "Black Parade by My Chemical Romance is a great record," he chuckles. "I love the lyrics, the way they play with words. "Muse always surprise me. I don't know the names of any of the songs, but I'm always amazed that just the three of them can make all that noise, all those different sounds." Joe begins a spookily accurate impression of a Muse song, although exactly which one it's difficult to tell. "It sounds like a spaceship taking off," he laughs. "Phil's (guitarist Phil Collen) guitar tech gave me a great CD by this new band called Fuzz Bubble. I don't know where they're from, but they sound good. I've got that on my iPod and it's something I keep listening to. "You know Orphans by Tom Waits, the album that came out last year? Well, that's taken over from Lou Reid's Berlin as my favourite record to listen to in the bath. I can't listen to it anywhere else. "But Lou Reid in the bath? That was just getting too much. I found myself searching for the razor blades, so I knew I'd had enough of Lou." Def Leppard play the Summer Pops at the ECHO Arena alongside Whitesnake and Thunder on July 15. Their album, The Sparkle Lounge, is out this week. For more information, see www.defleppard.com. Courtesy of www.liverpoolecho.co.uk Quote
Sleaze Glammer Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 ma jesu carevi Nego to je glavnija vest... Da im je album na petom mestu bilbordove liste... Prodali do sada nekih 80ak hiljada albuma Quote
Whitesnake_Zr Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Gledao sam juce deo onog koncerta iz 88 koji ima da se pribavi na dvd-u(In the round ili tako nesto).Znaci,ono je najbolji live nastup koji sam ikad video. Quote
karizma Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Odlican bend. Hysteria i onaj pre njega (mislimda je Pyromania il tako nesto ) su sjajni albumi. Quote
LazaGNR Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 Aha,Pyromania... Mislim da su im ta dva najprodavaniji albumi. Quote
Гера Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Јел неко слушао нови албум? Мени је кева! Најјаче песме "C'mon C'mon" и "GO"!!! Quote
Sleaze Glammer Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Ja jesam... Potpuno prosecan album ali te dve uz Tommorow su mi bile najbolje. nisu napravili zaista dobar album od Histerije. Adreanalazj je bio tek prosecan Quote
LazaGNR Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Planirao ja pre par meseci da cu otici na koncert Def Leppard-a u Sofiji. I sve bilo OK...do poslednjeg trenutka. Vizu (majdarsku) sam dobio tek tog dana (u petak,4. jula) i nisam mogao onda da stignem na koncert Reko',jebi ga,steta,al' boli me kurac,gledacu ih u Nemackoj I odem ja u Nemacku,kad ono...otkazali nastup na tom festivalu (i oni i Whitesnake) E jebi ga,bas nemam srece (sto se toga tice) :( I tako... I pored moje velike zelje (i nadanja) da cu gledati Def Leppard uzivo (i to cak 2 puta;kao i Whitesnake) to se na kraju ipak nije desilo... Quote
Totamealand Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Za mene je Def Leppard previše sladunjav i jedini njihov album koji mi se sviđa je On through the night. Tada još nisu bili 'tralala'. Drugi album takođe nije loš ali je već davao znake koliko će se Leppard iskomercijalizovati u budućnosti, što je potvrdio i Pyromania koji možda ima dve solidne pesme. Sve što je posle izašlo mi ne leži. Moje mišljenje. Quote
Whitesnake_Zr Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Odmah se videlo.:)Odgledajte Def Leppard-Hysterya film,odlican je, Quote
Гера Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 "Gotta Let It Go" је много до јаја ствар! Quote
