The Joe Elliott Show - 6th May 2017 Quote
Alice Cooper
"We were in the same hotel as Alice Cooper a couple of days ago. In Birmingham, Alabama we were and Phil got talking to the band down in the lobby. They invited him down to a little club where the band without Alice were playing a bunch of cover songs. Phil got up and played guitar and sang 20th Century Boy and Suffragette City, as you do. But there is Alice Cooper from the 1971 album Killer with You Drive Me Nervous."
Phil Collen Intro
"We got a special, really special guest here tonight. Tom, you wanna introduce him?."
"Yeah it just so happened we were all in the same hotel today, which is actually very rare. And he's like the best guy man and he's an amazing songwriter, guitar player, producer. Mr. Phil Collen from f**kin' Def Leppard come on!."
