Kerrang! radio - Joe Elliott/Rick Savage Interview Transcript By DefDazz

Rick Savage you're kinda known as Sav is that right?.

Sav - "That's what everybody calls me yeah and have done for years - of course you can yes. I would be offended if you didn't. "

VIVA! Hysteria UK Premiere.

Joe - "Yes it was the UK premiere of VIVA! Hysteria which is the Def Leppard experience live in Las Vegas. They call it a movie or film but nobody dies, nobody gets to rescue a damsel in distress. It's basically just a live gig from start to finish. And it's the entire Hysteria album in sequence from Women all the way to Love And Affection. And then a couple of encores thrown in."

Las Vegas Residency.

Sav - "Well, we played 11 shows spread over the better part of three weeks I think it was. And one of the greatest things we've ever done really. It was fantastic. It was great to just play your gig and then not have to get on a bus and travel 300 miles down the road to do the next show. You just got in a service elevator and if you wanted to there was your bed. It was all the great things about being on the road without having all the negative things. Which is basically travelling and stuff."
