Joe Elliott released a short impassioned video after discovering that some Def Leppard fans had been scammed out of money by someone impersonating the singer online. The singer interrupted a demo recording session to plead with people to think carefully before assuming messages from out of the blue were real, and condemned the environment in which it’s happening more and more often. “A friend of mine just emailed me with another one of these ‘have you seen this one’ fake Joe Elliott emails, where somebody has successfully scammed money out of some of our fans,” he said in the clip below.

Here are 10 rock and metal musicians who have little dogs. Members of Slipknot, Dream Theater, Megadeth, Motley Crue and more are among headbangers who juxtapose their life in heavy music with some of the cutest pups you’ve ever seen. Of course, being in a rock or metal band does not and should not define every pre-conceived notion any one person may have. While others in the world may paint rock and metal fans as dangerous, reckless brutes without a moral compass, we know this community is full of a bunch of tender-hearted people who love animals. Especially tiny animals. Gary Holt and Rob Ha...

Def Leppard is commonly associated with the new wave of British heavy metal which sprung up in the early ‘80s. Yet, frontman Joe Elliott has revealed that he doesn’t like the metal label, calling it a “silly, silly term.” “I have an issue with the term heavy metal,” the singer confessed during an appearance on The Rockoneurs podcast, “because everybody outside of rock always thinks if you’re in a heavy metal band, it’s like bad news.” Elliott went on to explain that the term heavy metal carries a certain lowbrow quality. “You get this impression that everybody’s a moron,” he remarked. The fron...

Joe Elliott has looked back on Def Leppard’s classic song “Photograph,” revealing some fortuitous circumstances that helped inspire the song. By Elliott’s account, he and his bandmates were “penniless” while they worked on their 1983 album Pyromania. At the time, the singer was living in a small apartment in the English town of Isleworth, and the home was not in very good shape. “The previous tenant, obviously on a drunken rampage one night, had punched a hole through the bathroom wall,” Elliott recalled during an appearance on The Rockonteurs podcast. “So it looked like The Shawshank Redempti...

Def Leppard came to realize that they were into something different. [The] New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a lot of it wasn’t very professional and a lot of it wasn’t very deep, guitarist Phil Collen told UCR recently. When producer Mutt Lange started working with Def Leppard, he pushed them hard. “How come you take so long doing these songs,” Collen recalled someone asking Lange, in the Hysteria period. “So you’ll be talking about it in 30 years,” came the reply. Now more than 40 years on, Lange has been proven correct, time and time again, when it comes to 1983’s Pyromania, his second colla...

Joe Elliott has spent more than 40 years as the frontman of Def Leppard, but the singer believes he was only handed the job because his bandmates felt sorry for him. During an appearance on The Rockonteurs podcast, Elliott detailed how the fledgling Def Leppard came together. “It was (guitarist) Pete Willis, (bassist) Rick Savage and Tony Kenning was the original drummer,” Elliott recalled, noting that the band’s priority at the time was finding a rehearsal space. The group eventually set up shop in a closed factory that had previously manufactured silverware. “This was a real Victorian dump h...

Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott has defended his band against accusations they use backing tracks during their concerts. During a conversation with Stereogum, the singer addressed rumors that Def Leppard’s performances are technologically enhanced. “I don’t normally comment on this kind of stuff, but a friend of mine just sent me some link to something on YouTube, a recent posting by, forgive me, I don’t know his name, Chuck something from Testament, I think it is, and Chris Holmes accusing us of using backing tracks,” Elliott explained. “I don’t get angry at this. I’m flattered because their...

Pyromania was the album that changed everything for Def Leppard. Guitarist Phil Collen vividly remembers the rapid ascent that happened after their third album was released in January of 1983. “We were little kids, really, still basically living with our moms and dads,” he tells UCR now. “All of the sudden, you do this whole thing, go around the world and then you revisit it again. It’s really special, actually.” 41 years later, the “again” part of it all is the upcoming Pyromania 40 box set, which will be released April 26, featuring previously unreleased tracks, live footage and an extensive...

Def Leppard has offered a glimpse into their creative process with a newly released rough mix of “Photograph,” taken from their upcoming Pyromania 40 box set. You can listen to the song below. As its title suggests, “Photograph (Rough Mix Version)” features fewer of Mutt Lange’s production tricks and has an unfinished lead vocal from Joe Elliott. Nevertheless, the punchy guitar riffs, soaring vocal harmonies and anthemic hooks that made the song a smash hit are all present.
