Joe Quotes

Even Crazy Horses is a good song, by the Osmonds. I've known many bands who have covered that. It's just a great song. I bought it in a brown, paper bag because I didn't want anyone to know I had it.
Joe Elliott

It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.
Joe Elliott

Wasted was written in an evening.
Joe Elliott

We are just fans of music, we are not fans of a specific kind of music. We just happen to be a rock band. Until we explain ourselves, sometimes people don't understand why we limit ourselves to just being a rock band. It's because that is what we like doing.
Joe Elliott

We have never used tape. Never, ever. The only thing that we've ever used that you could deem not real are drum loops, because Rick basically, with one arm, I think more so than anybody else has got an excuse to use them. Any drummer you see who has headphones on is playing to drum loops.
Joe Elliott

We've made one of the most over-produced records of all time, and also one of the most successful records of all time too.
Joe Elliott

When we try to write a pop song, we go for standard pop arrangements, even to the point where we will go to the key change at the end, which is really cheesy.
Joe Elliott

Why not? It's a song. If it takes four people to pretend to be eighty people, that's using studio technology to your advantage.
Joe Elliott

Classic one from when the guys were around doing promo for the X record. My friend and I, along with prolly five other people, were downstairs in the building that housed the radio station, and I just busted out laughing with this one.

Radio DJ: "Okay, we have Carla on the line. Go ahead with your question."

Caller: "Hi Joe! I love you! Will you marry me?"

Joe: "Sorry love, been there, done that!"

(Of course, Joe's first wife was called Karla)

'Nother one. I've met Joe prolly three or so times, and whenever I go to have a photo done with him, he *always* says, "One of us needs to stand on a chair. And it isn't me!"

Yeah, yeah, so you're taller. . .

Dio? Well his fans love him and are really loyal. I'm just too biased to have any respect for the man.

Yeah, y'all tall people!

I'm not a Ronnie fan and not b/c of Viv, I have never liked Ronnie. My brother likes Dio but..my brother likes some weird crap!

I would gladly give some of my height away if I could.

I listen to some of the songs Vivian played on, primarily because he and Jimmy were fantastic together. Don't know the words, though. Don't care!

Yeah, who cares what he's saying, it's probably something odd anyway. When Viv was in that band, the guitar is all that mattered
