DEF LEPPARD Frontman Slams MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON; Says Most L.A. 'Glam' Bands Had No Substance
- June 7, 2008
|
|
During yesterday's (Friday, June 6) press conference at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden, DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott was asked how his band managed to avoid getting caught up in the whole "glam-rock" scene of the '80s even after citing such image-oriented artists as MICK RONSON, DAVID BOWIE and T.REX as major influences. "If you actually look at the way that the 'glam' bands, if you want to call it that, from Los Angeles dressed themselves up, they totally missed the point," Elliott replied. "When English glam bands from the '70s came on 'Top of the Pops' [long-running British music chart television program], it was almost an afterthought to what they were actually doing — music always came first, and then they'd be like, 'What are we gonna wear?' . . . Bowie was very image-driven, and maybe the music came second, but a lot of the other bands, it was always about the music — the image thing was just something that they did to just upstage other bands on 'Top of the Pops'; that's what they used to do. So we were never driven to do the mascara thing or whatever these bands did. They didn't have any substance musically, I don't think, in comparison to us, so we didn't feel we needed to do it. Bands that do that are doing it to cover up the fact that there is no substance in their music. The only band — and I'm not saying it because we're here — the only band that did pull it off was [Finland's] HANOI ROCKS. I thought HANOI ROCKS were a good band, and they looked… Michael Monroe [ HANOI frontman] was one of the best… I would have shagged him. [Laughs] I like Michael, I think he's sexy, and I'm not gay. And I think Andy McCoy [ HANOI guitarist] does the best kind of Keith Richards... so much better than MÖTLEY CRÜE or POISON or any of those bands. They [ HANOI ROCKS] were real — the rest of the guys, it was all a bit fake for me."

btw..theres no such thing as a total statement.There were straight guys in glam in the 70's and gay guys in glam in the 80's..however, generally I think what I said stands pretty true...and as far as I know, Michael Monroe is straight..sorry Joe.

At least they had kick ass hairstyles for the time, not that horrible mullet you had.
So you say "the image thing was just something that they did to just upstage other bands on 'Top of the Pops'; that's what they used to do."
Well as far as L.A. bands from the 80's. the image was just to upstage other bands on the Sunset strip, you idiot. And I guess the only reason you don't bash Hanoi rocks, is because they're not American, my guess. Not that I actually say anything bad about them, because I love this band.

Regardless of the look Def Leppard had always had strong songwriting behind their music. I can't say that for the LA glam bands - most were very mediocre and didn't deserve the success, Motley Crue included.

To say that Bowie's music came second to his image is a bunch of BS. He is by far 1 of the most talented artists I have ever heard. His songwriting was and still is awsome. And has anyone heard Bowie sing lately? His voice is better than it ever was.
I don't care for any of the so called glam metal, but Motley eats Def Leppard up and spits them out.
What a wanker Joe Elliot is!

I'd take Talk Dirty to Me, Motley Crue's self titled album, or anything that Crue or Poisons come out with IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS OR MORE over Def Leppard's calculated saccharine douchebaggery.
yeah hes right in praising the old glam, but hes so off target because his band has sucked donkey balls for years.

Yes, and even though both Motley and Poison have had their up and downs, I've never seen them go to the lengths of being a hair metal boy band that Def Leppard has in the past few years. Add the douchebag Vivian Campbell and his diss of metal every interview, and you have a band in denial. I like Phil Collen though but am sure he just likes the paycheck. This band sucks ASS however cheesy Poison and Motley have been (and they have been cheesy and sucky believe me, but not to the point of Leppard)...what a bunch of dorks. I didnt like Poison during their heyday but crank up their classics far more than even anything off Hysteria..at least Poison kept a raunchy rawness in their music that Leppard had lost to the big machine. Same with Crue. Girls Girls Girls had horrible songwriting, but at least it was sleazy fun. Some of Leppards ballads make Celine Dion seem not corny.

i think the crue's 1st two albums were great,and some of poison's 1 st one was ok. and leppard's 1st 3 records were real good,especially high and dry, but i haven't really liked anything since pete willis and steve clark haven't been in the band. to me it's all down to the roots of rocknroll and that's all it is to me. there was a lot of great stuff that came out of the 70's era of glam as well including sweet,slade,alice cooper,kiss. the idea of wearing a lot of mascara and make up was never really my thing, but the long hair looked cool, as well as the loud guitars,marshalls,drums,bass,vocals definitely was. and there were some great songs there as well as a lot crap, but that's with anything.

Although Joe's not exactly "slamming" Motley and Poison ("It was all a bit fake" is hardly Phil Anselmo saying shit about Dimebag is it?), he still should keep quiet and thank god people are prepared to pay money for an album called Songs From The Sparkle Lounge
Personally I always thought Motley were the most entertaining rock act of their era, and will carry on thinking that until they go the way of modern-day Kiss
But Leppard had their moments too. The Slang album (you know, the one no-one bought) is fantastic, and at least half of Hysteria is more fun than, say, And Justice For All
The real problem is that Joe opens his mouth before engaging his brain. Suggesting that Bowie is more image than music implies he stopped listening to him after 1973 and has missed over 30 years of amazing albums
[yo Moses, good to see you on here dude - I'm not posting on Kiss anymore, although I'll admit to reading that Condoleeza shit...]

I never appreciated Bowie until a friend talked me into seeing his last tour. It totally blew my mind. No more image fixation -- just pure rock and roll. With Earl Slick's guitar cranked to 11, the show sounded better and rocked twice as hard as Def Leppard, Motley Crue, or Poison. I can't wait to see his next tour.

Shout at the Devil aside, Motley has never put out an album that wasn't half filler crap. Theater of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls, Dr. Feelgood etc. all had about 4 or 5 really good songs and 5 or 6 filler tunes. In my opinion, their best album besides Shout was the Motley Crue album they did with John Corabi on vox.

So you're saying that dressing up like a girl to get on British tv is any fucking different than dressing up like a girl to get on mtv? And I remember quite distinctly how you guys overused the hairspray yourselves. Look, I've always liked Def Leppard. Being 37, I got brought into the fold mainly because I was in 7th grade when Pyromania came out. But if you were to watch the classic albums episode for Hysteria, you would come to the realization that Rush is a garage band in comparison they were so fucking overproduced. In fact, Rick Allen hasn't played drums on record since the first album!!!!! Talk shit about the Crue all you want, but at least they're a real band, warts and all.

So many metalheads are so obsessed with calling hair metal "glam rock," without realizing that there was already a genre by that name that was very different and infinitely better than Poison or whoever. I mean Bowie, Mott, Roxy Music, T Rex? That's genuinely good rock n' roll.
As far as the amount of "substance" Def Lep had compared to the LA bands, that's debatable - I mean the first two Lep records are quite decent but then again, so are the first two Crue records.

Mott, T-Rex, Bowie...hell, even Slade and The Sweet. That's some kick ass rock, the original glam. And almost none of these guys were gay (not that I care) it was just a style. At least Lep admitted the influence on Rocket--not that that was such a great song.
But still, Elliot's kind of talking out of his ass here. Sure, they wore less makeup than Poison, Crue or any number of bands of the era, but come on..."Pour Some Sugar On Me"? "Let's Get Rocked"? Leppard was a good pop-rock band for a while. They went south in a MAJOR way in the late eighties. And even their good albums were chock full of filler. I've always thought that Shania Twain should cover "Sugar" since the song is entirely in line with her sensibilities. She'd have to change it to "I've got the peaches, you've got the cream" though.

Wow he throws the word "substance" around like Alanis did "ironic"...they heard it somewhere but forgot to look it up.
Def Lep is a bandwagon band. NWOBH was big when they started, then the hopped the glam bandwagon and sang about "pouring sugah", then tried to cut their hair and pretend to be alt boys with Slang. Now they're focusing on their target audience which is obese women who still tease their bangs. They should have called Songs From the Sparkle Lounge "Endless Breakfast Buffet" instead.
Def Lep do what they do well but can't be calling out others for "substance" when their career is based on a target marketing plan.

i think hanoi rocks suck however the in the interview he technically didn't say that they had no "substance". To me, the way i read it just seemed to be that he liked Hanoi Rocks better than the Crue or Poison.

I don't think of Def Leppard! There wasn't a lot of depth in LA Hari Metal either, but I would listen to most of those bands before I would listen to DL. High and Dry was OK, but from Pyromania on, I couldn't stand them.
Now for another bit of substance:
"Armageddon It"
Ya better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't wanna dance
You like four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cos you know that you can
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun
You know you (ya) can't stop it
so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
really gettin' it?
Come get it from me
Gimme all of you lovin' - ev'ry little bit
Gimme all that you got - ev'ry bit of it
Ev'ry bit of your lovin - oh, c'mon live a bit
Never want it to stop
Yeah, but are you gettin' it? - Armageddon it!
Ooh, really gettin' it? - Yes, Armaggedon it!
You try comin' on when you need some...
But then you don't 'cos you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while your shakin' ya...
And drive the pretty boys outta their heads
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumpin' jack...
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back
You know you (ya) can't stop it
So don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Ooh, really gettin' it?
Come get it from me
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
C'mon, Steve, get it
[guitar solo]
Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, c'mon trigger the gun
'Cos the best is (a) yet to come, I say
'Cos the best is yet to come
Are you gettin' it? Really gettin' it?
Yes, are you gettin' it, really gettin' it?
Oh, come get it from me
Gimme all of you lovin' - ev'ry little bit
Gimme all that you got - ev'ry bit of it
Ev'ry bit of your lovin' - Oh come on live a bit
Never want it to stop - Oh, are you getting it?
Gimme all of your lovin' - Ooh really gettin' it?
Gimme all that you got - Oh are you getting it?
Gimme all of your lovin' - Oh live a bit
Gimme all that you got - Whoa, live a bit
You've got to live it - gimme all of your lovin'
Ooh baby live it - gimme all that you got
C'mon and give it - ev'ry bit of your lovin'
Oh come on and give it - Never want it to stop
Oh are you gettin' it? - Gimme all of your lovin'
Ooh really gettin' it? - Gimme all that you got
Oh are you gettin' it? - Ev'ry bit of your lovin'
Oh live a bit - Never want it to stop
One of the worst songs ever.

With Hysteria, Def Leppard were part and parcel of the hair band scene. They didn't have the extreme makeup and pink spandex but musically they were going for the exact same demographic as Poison and the rest. Bon Jovi was heavier than DL and would anybody here deny Bon Jovi was a hair band? Hair bands were all about selling to the women - and where there were women the dudes would not be far behind. Def Leppard today is a Matchbox 20 clone.

When it was hip, they followed that trend, but in a Europe or Bon Jovi way. At least, Bon Jovi's songs (before 1994) are not overproduced and still listenable today. Their power ballads are among the best of all time. On the other hand Love Bites sounds so artificial, and so does Pour Some Sugar on Me. Listening to these songs today is almost embarrassing.
Guns N Roses can be compared to Motley Crue. Let's compare apples with apples.
Comparing Def Leppard to Motley Crue is like comparing Metallica to Cannibal Corpse.

I'm no rocket scientist but even I could tell that Elliott was talking about the looks of the bands. He's right too. They put their appearance before the music they made. Lepp never did that. It was music first and foremost.

Man, Joe Elliot's a moron. Motley Crue and Poison may have worn make up back in the day, but at least they didn't have the mullets that Def Leppard did. Doesn't mean their fake.
At least they got the girls, unlike Joe Elliot who just proved that he's gay.

First of all let me say that I'm a big fan of both Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe and Poison. And I don't see any reason why they have to slam each other now all of the sudden?
Therefore I'd like to call Elliot rather immature to distance himself from the 80's Rock praising that of the 70's just because people have been praising that again in the last 10 years or so.
To me there's no competition. I like a few 70's tunes but they could never compare to the 80's in general which BOTH music-wise and image-wise ruled the world.
When it comes to image, I find most 70's looks uninspired, freaky and gay looking which suits them well because back then lots of those band were openly bisexual. Catsuits or leather? I'd take leather any day. Neat or sloppy? Neat right on. To me it looks appalling as opposite to the great 80's looks where they dressed good and tried to look their very best to get as much women as possible in which they instantly succeeded. So what's wrong with looking good?
Sure Motley and Poison wore a lot of make-up at the beginning of their careers but that was all cool stage performance. It was simply entertainment at that particular point to paint yourself up a little and put on a good show. They didn't look gay, they looked cool.
Soon after both bands ditched that whole image though. They started to just look good like most bands in the Metal genre. They looked like normal people looking sharp appealing to the popular audience just like most similar bands from the strip and wherever. Keep in mind that a lot of these bands didn't wear make up in the first place, they've always looked good and cool. That's something that lacked in the 70's.
Now on to the music. The music only got better if you ask me. We went from old Rock tunes to Heavy Metal rules. It hit harder and better than anything around before. From catchy straight in your face Hard Rock to classic balladry. What's not to love??

Sorry it posted before I was done. Rikki stated that Def Leppard uses pre-recorded music at there live shows. Every artist uses some pre-recorded stuff, but I have seen them live 6 times and everytime I saw them they were awesome and it was them playing. I've seen Poison live before as well. There is no comparison. Def leppard are more taleted technically than Poison on any given day.

Bret and Rikki can keep there mouths shut because poison has never been awarded one diamond award and def leppard has two (thats for sales over 10,000,000 copies for an album for those who dont know what it is) Poisons total album sales world wide are like 20,000,000 thats 20 years and 5 or 6 albums Def Leppard have over 65 million albums sold! and every album since 1983 has whent top 20 and two number 1 albums i dont think poison has even came close to that. Bret is just upset he needed a reality show for people to know who he is. Def Leppard is the better band hands down, C.C. couldnt hold Phils guitar ha! and rick allen with one arm could drum circles around rikki rocket any day. And lets not start on motley come on vince doesnt sing anymore he says bits of the verses with that fuckn alvin and the chipmunks voice of his and it makes you wanna stab yourself in the eardrum. Bret cant say anything about anyone his new album consists of songs from his previous albums because no one bought them so all the giggly airheads that go to see him cause hes on vh1 wont know any better. and at least joes hair is real!

First off let me say and i am not ashamed to,def leppard has been my favorite band for 20 years and still are.I like some of poisons songs never was into motley crue i might listen to them on the radio but i never would buy their cd.Normally if i read all these def leppard sucks comments it would piss me off,but it really don't bother me this time.What joe said was out of line and as the old saying goes if you can't say anything nice about someone keep your fuckin mouth shut,and that is what joe should have done.Maybe he don't like these bands but he don't have to listen to them either.Joe i always thought def leppard were a class act,and a bunch of nice guys and you probally are,but you should not act like your band is better than other bands even if your music is.I have probally just read 100 comments saying you suck and i bet a bunch of these people like your music.What if all these people were thinkin about buying your new cd and they still should cause it rocks,but they also like poison or crue too and hear your rude comments about these bands?Bye bye record sales maybe a few less people at your concert is it worth it just to tell the world your better than poison or crue when most of your fans already know it.What i'm trying to say is you are entitled to your opinion but sometimes it's better to keep it to yourself and joe you need to watch what you say.Def leppard will always be my favorite band but this really is a bummer for me.

But how about a guy that has not one, but two chances at over 50 hot, extremely horny, sleazy women throwing themselves at him, and he can't find love? Thank God Def Leppard members have real lives and focus on promoting their music instead of grasping for popularity by pimping themselves out unsuccessibly. Why not just compare album sales to find out who rocks!

Having read all of the posts in this thread, I must say that the truth of it all is everyone has their opinon on what good music is. Those who hate Motley, Poison, and the like... those who hate Def and bands like them... and so on and so forth. What makes anyone's statement about any bands here worth more than another?
I happen to enjoy metal in all its forms... from the "glam/hair" metal we speak of here, to progressive, power, and and all other forms of metal inbetween. Just because you dislike a certain band or genre of metal, doesn't mean it blows chunks... two or more can disagree on their music choices and still be rational, intelligent, human beings.

Thought I'd throw in a few comments. I have been a hard rock fan (that is my preferred term) for a long time - though I do like a range of music to go along with that. All comments about who likes who better is everyone's individual opinion. Joe elliott was asked by the reporter what he thought of the la glam bands remember. To put into perspective - take a look at the cover of look what the cat dragged in - poison's 1st album from 1986 - and tell me what you see - be honest.
I like some poison songs, in fact quite a few, and motley crue are one of my favourite bands - I have owned the crue albums from shout up to feelgood over the years and shout and girls are two of my favourite albums. Tommy has been my favourite drummer and I think he is good musically as is rick allen - you can't diss a guy who can lose a limb and still drum and sound better than some two armed drummers. comments about him not playing drums on leppard albums are complete lies - and since the mid 90s he is playing a regular drum kit too.
Leppard also use their real names. I loved reading about sixx (real name frank ferrano -I think) in the music mags but the point is the names are fake -that is part of the point of what elliott said. His comments were saying def leppard werent' about that. Was motley crue even mentioned in the interview by the way?, even if I love a bunch of crue songs, and even poison, no one touches leppard for songwriting. Sorry folks- yes I know you can quote pour some sugar on me or lets get rocked - so what? they don't claim the song is a blowing in the wind lyric - but they don't appear on album covers looking like girls - or do their own reality tv show - come on, that’s attention seeking and doesn’t spell out credibility and substance to me.
Speaking of production - you know the slick over produced crap some of you claim def leppard had done with mutt lange - some of their albums took a long time to produce (yet again - so what? and hysteria and pyromania have an excellent sound regardless of if you don't like def leppard) but anyone who owns poison's swallow this live from 1991 only has to listen to it to know some bullshit is going on there. Def lep may have spent a long time recording some of their albums but at least they are playing their instruments and don’t pretend anything is fake. Listen to swallow this live and there is crowd noise throughout the album - there is no concert I have been to where people cheer and scream for two hours without stopping. The recording has been doctored up boys.
Vince neil has a pretty weak voice so how do you think it sounds so forceful on the albums - because it has been played around with in production to boost the sound. So the crue and poison doctor up recordings to hide weaknesses. Does that make them production bunnies? Back on image and poison - I still have circus magazines from the early 90s where bret michaels is talking about cc leaving the band and quote - when you go on the mtv music awards with puffed up purple hair looking like bozo the clown people aren't going to take you seriously - end quote. That says quite a bit don't you think. That s when cc left to form the cc deville experience (as in the jimi hendrix experience). Yeah right cc, you are as good as hendrix.
Def Leppard had their commerical and creative highpoints as every band does and then its up to each band to continue on if they love doing it and see if they are real and are stayers. The fact that all three of these bands are going speaks of some substance to do that.
Motley crue are heavier then leppard, that’s a fact, on some albums. That doesn't equate to who is a better quality band. Though if I think about theatre of pain it doesn't actually rock that hard. All you headbangers pumping your fists to a cover version of smokin n the boys room - its not hard rock, and a bunch of songs on feelgood – she goes down, sticky sweet – mindblowing rock there. Does ‘don’t go away mad’ rock you as hard as shout at the devil? I think not. and nikki sixx said in the dirt biography - between shout and feelgood he wrote two good songs (my guess is wildside and girls girls girls). Not to make stuff up - read it for yourself.
As for glam metal - leppard ended up being part of 'hair metal' for sure. That’s what people called it in retrospect. Still prefer the hard rock term. But if you remember leppard became massive in the usa in 1983 with pyromania - after starting in england in 1977. they didn’t form part of any genre because there wasn’t one going. They probably started a genre and probably true they define a genre. Better to be a leader than a follower though. Van halen was about the only successful band going. so to say lep are part of a glam metal scene is ridiculous, and they simply cant be part of the LA glam metal scene. Like I said they are still part of the hair metal movement as they had long hair. I'd still prefer long hair (which really doesn't look like a mullet) than peroxide green and purple hair. Van halen are from Pasadena – near la, but they started in 78 so they don’t form part of the la glam metal scene but would be considered part of hair metal as they had long hair, of all things! Bon jovi, were part of hair metal too for a while – but are from new jersey so aren’t part of la glam metal.
There is a classic album episode for hysteria for a reason, which sorry to say crue and poison won't ever have.. and leppard had a vh1 episode on pyromania. That’s two albums there treated as classics. Both of which sold more than 10 million in america - that’s a lot of albums bought by americans. That’s a fact. And leppard has outsold poison and crue put together - fact. No that doesn't mean they have sold out - just because you sell a lot of records doesn’t mean you sell out. Any claims about over production are a poor attempt to say hysteria didn't cut it as a rock album. If you had listened to the whole album you would know. It may have won a few production awards too - but so what - you're probably pissed that poison or crue albums didn't win the awards.
Lets me be emotional now - def leppard wipe the floor with any artist, (probably because they always have been and always will be my favourite artist). They have lasted 30 years putting out albums regularly and are a real band. I still like the crue and poison, but leppard are in a different class to them. That doesn't mean you have to like them if you don't or you think the crue are better. But that’s my opinion.
However if anyone else from a different genre was putting crap on the crue and poison I’d defend them to the hilt – but when it comes to leppard – there is no one else.

Joe Elliott can say what he wants when he wants, he's earned that. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and in my opinion what he said is true. I never took Poison seriously, anyone who wears more make up than I do, pouts their lips in every picture taken and stars in a reality TV show with tramps who look like they all have some form of an STD is kind of hard to take seriously. I mean, "Will you stay and rock my world?" I wasted 30 minutes of my life once that I will never get back watching that Rock of Love Garbage. By the way Brett do you EVER take that ridiculous bandanna off your head or are you really going bald or something? Joe may have sported a mullet, but he was gorgeous doing so. Def Leppard writes great music and I think they are one of the best bands that came out of the late 70's and eighties and they continue to come out with great music. They have aged well and grown up and I can take my son to see them and not have to worry about the crap that I would at a Poison or Motley Crue concert. Joe Elliott and Def Leppard are so far and above these guys, that is why Def Leppard is performing with Taylor Swift on Cross Roads and Brett Michaels is probably in contract negotiations for Rock of Love 3. Need I say more?
