Rolling Stone - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes

U.S. Tour Preparation

"You just take four, five, six weeks off to let it heal, then you get into some training and you're back again. Now I can walk and run and sing and … do interviews! And I'm working with a vocal coach and getting mentally prepared for the upcoming blitz on the U.S."

White Lightning

"It's about Steve [Clark, who passed away in 1991 from an accidental overdose of alcohol and prescription drugs], but not in the same as, say, "Hurricane" by Dylan, which literally walks you through a guy's life. Ours is a lot more shadowy. We wanted it to be about Steve, but we also wanted anybody who was listening to it and had been in a similar situation to be able to relate to it. So we never mention him by name. But the situations he found himself in, and the situations he put us in, are all kind of referenced, without getting overly specific."
