The Joe Elliott Show - 15th June 2024 Quotes - (Transcribed by dltourhistory)

2024 Tour Rehearsals

"I'm just back home from a couple of weeks in LA where we were rehearsing for this upcoming US tour with Journey and Steve Miller and occasionally Heart and Cheap Trick."

"It's gonna be a wonderful thing. I'm glad to be home for a couple of weeks, brought my homework, but I shall get on to that next week."

On New Single Just Like '73

"So yes rehearsals went really well thanks for asking."

"I have to say like the old cliche it's a bit like getting back on a bike, you knock the cobwebs off the ones that you're familiar with."

"But then you have to get down to business when you're learning a brand new song."

"Yes if you were listening over the last couple of days you will be well aware that Def Leppard have got some brand new music and it is my honour to play it for you right now."


"And before that brand new Def Leppard."

"Almost made Diamond Star Halos but it wasn't finished."

"It is now and it pays homage to one of the greatest eras of rock ever."

"The song is Just Like '73."
