The Joe Elliott Show - Quotes
Show Intro
"Hola Amigos! and welcome to the Joe Elliott show coming to you this week from San Sebastian in Spain where we are currently enjoying a day off. We started the European tour last night on the Main Stage at Hellfest in Nantes in France and unless you've been living under a rock for the last week you'll be aware that Vivian Campbell is suffering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma which is a form of cancer."
"However I can report, first hand, that the boy is looking very spiffy indeed. He is responding brilliantly to the treatment. He's got a nice tan. He's looking very healthy. He's playing well. His voice is sounding great. So in celebration of all those things I'm gonna turn this weeks show into a bit of a Viv fest. I've gathered as much as I possibly can of all aspects of his career going all the way back to this. His very first ever effort as a young teenager in a little band from Belfast in Northern Ireland called Sweet Savage."
Whitesnake/Shadow King
"I don't have any versions of that song with Vivian playing on it cause he didn't actually play on the album either. But he did play it live plenty of times on the 1987 world tour when he was a member of Whitesnake and that is Whitesnake live in London 2004 with the classic song Still Of The Night."
"Now when Vivian had parted company with Whitesnake he had a brief but meaningful little stint with one of the best A.O.R singers from America. Lou Gramm in a band called Shadow King."
Def Leppard
"As you may have gathered we are back into the Viv fest now. That is Vivian Campbell's first ever writing contribution to a Def Leppard record from the Slang album 1996 that is a song called Work It Out."
Show Outro
"I'm gonna finish up the Vivian festival with this classic track from his one and only solo album Two Sides Of If. Working with one of his all time heroes Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. This is Viv with a track called Willin' For Satisfaction. And I think I can speak on behalf of all the Planet Rock staff and listeners that we're all willing great health to the boy. Until nest Saturday at six O'clock God bless you all. See ya!."
