The Joe Elliott Show - Quotes

Show Intro

"Greetings earthlings and welcome to Sin City for this is where I am ensconced for at least another two and a half weeks we have firmly got our feet under the table here now. This place is completely mad. It is the most decadent place I have ever been. I am of course talking about Las Vegas, Nevada where Def Leppard are doing VIVA! Hysteria and we are into our second weekend already. "

Jon Bon Jovi Story

"This city of Las Vegas is just a fantastic place to take advantage of any days off that you have, especially the evenings there's so much to do you couldn't do it in a month, you couldn't do it in five years. There's so many shows here and I was flicking through the magazine in my hotel room and noticed that on the Sunday after our second day here which is a day off for us Jon Bon Jovi and The Kings Of Suburbia were playing the venue that we are playing for the month. So I got hold of Jon and I said I'm gonna come down and watch your show and he's got this little side band called The Kings Of Suburbia. It's a 12 piece band. They're an absolutely phenomenal outfit. Four horn players, two guitarists, bass, drums, percussionists, two backing vocalists, one of them who's a fantastic fiddle player. They do an amazing version of Baba O'Reily.

I went down and shared a box with Vince Neil from Motley Crue who lives in Vegas. We watched the show, went backstage to hang with Jon afterwards and he told me that he was playing a second show in Vegas the next day would I like to join him and do a song with him. Well that's the song that we chose to do. We thought we'd have a crack at Joe Cocker's version of the Beatles track With A Little Help From My Friends. And what a blast it was as well. It was such a pleasure to work with him again. He's been on stage with us about five times and I've been on stage with the Bon Jovi boys a few times so it's not a first for us we do get to hang out quite a lot. And it was such a blast to do."
