Joe Elliott - Interview Quote

"My pre show rituals are pretty standard. Soundcheck at 4pm. Something to eat at 4:30pm. I watch a bit of TV until we do a Meet And Greet at about 6:15pm. That normally takes about 35 minutes. After that I get ready for the show. My idea of getting ready for the show is warming up. I exercise my voice. And then about an hour or so before the show we all gather together in the dressing room and we get ready, talk, stories and then we keep warming up and then we hit the stage."

Phil Collen - Interview Quotes

"So every day, I try and work out every day like try and keep active. A lot of people go you don't look like you're nearly 60 and I don't feel like it and I think the trick is to stay active. So I do something every day. And I'm a vegan, I don't drink. So that really helps as well. I know some really unhealthy vegans and you just gotta look after yourself. Put less poison in and then you put more goodness out. So that's pretty much it."

"For rituals, you know, I do a little kick boxing thing. Weights and stuff, every day I do something. And we all do vocal warm-ups because you know our vocals are a big part of the band's sound. So we do these like warm-up exercises and it really makes a huge difference. So that's something we do every day."
