Loudersound - Joe Elliott Interview Quotes
Meeting David Bowie
"It was 1989, and I got an invitation to [U2 singer] Bono’s place,” he says. “He was throwing a big barbecue and everyone who meant something in Ireland was there. {Director] John Huston, [actor] John Hurt… I get there and Bono says, ‘I want to introduce you to somebody."
"He was playing The Point in Dublin the next night, so I did him a tape of it and gave it to him just before he went onstage. He went, “Thank you’, slipped it in his suit jacket pocket and went straight out on the stage.”
