Some interesting points in these interviews:
- Joe wanted Leppard to be as big as the Beatles, Bowie and the Stones; otherwise they would not have spent two million making Hysteria
- Pyromania set the template for rock in the 80's
- Many bands copied Def Leppard
- Joe states that they purposely didn't try to copy themselves when it came to making Hysteria if it weren't for bands that copied them, like Cinderella, Bon Jovi, Ratt & Motley Crue
- Rick Allen has a creepy laugh
- Joe forgets what year it is and predicts the demise of Duran Duran, Soft Cell and Spandau Ballet
