Def Leppard frontman, Joe Elliott, turned 48 on August 1st! I think he still looks great for his age.
Keep rockin’ Joe & we’ll keep listening!
Disclaimer: You know this was just another reason to post a picture of his mug :D

I have been in love with Joe Elliott for years and will be forever. I am very happily married and live on the motto…I am married…not blind.

Forget Justin Timberlake and Ricky Martin….Joe Elliott is FREAKING HOT!!!! He is aging so beautifully.

Joe Elliott not only is extremely talented but is the sexiest rocker to ever grace this earth!! I cannot wait for Def Leppard’s upcoming album in May and I would give anything to see them in concert with Whitesnake! ROCK ON!

Undoubtedly the hottest pair of buns to come around since McDonald’s…I know, bad medaphore…I can’t help it, this man reduces me to nonsense!! I admit at first I was a devout Sav worshipper, but for the past ten years, Mr. Elliott has stolen my heart!
Apr 7, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I would love to see them in concert….. but real life just keeps interfering. Anyone have any close ups of Joe from the very recent past?
Apr 12, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I just heard that the band had to cancel some shows in Canada due to Joe’s illness. Aw, poor doll. I would love to be his nurse…hmmmmm…I can’t help it. This guy does things to me. He is just so beautiful.
Apr 12, 2008 at 2:09 pm
He’s been friggin adorable for thirty years and he is going to keep on being adorable. LUV YA, JOE! :*
Apr 12, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Wow, I cannot believe Joe’s pushing 50! He looks amazing! However, Phil Collen, my favorite Lep, is already 50 and he is looking hotter than ever. LUV 4 DEF LEPPARD!!!! KEEP ROCKIN AWAY, BOYS!!!

While I was never really crazy about Joe, I must say the guy is looking pretty nifty for a man nearing his 50’s. However, I’m a little put off by his ego. He never lets any of the other Leps talk. Especially poor Sav. He almost never gets a word in edgewise whenever Joe’s around, but he looks as though he wants to speak up at times. I personally think Sav has a much sexier voice than Joe and while Joe always uses cheesy metaphores, Sav gets to the point. I’m not bashing Joe, I’m sure he’s a lovely guy…but I’m a Sav girl from day one.

Joe egotistical????? No way! If he is so “egotistical”, then why does he speak highly of other people while poking fun at himself? If anything, Joe is one of the few non-egocentric rock stars out there. The reason he tends to talk alot during interviews is because he is the least shy, with Phil Collen being the second most vocal of the band. But at least he does let his bandmates get a word in during interivews. Wanna see an egotistical rock star? Take a look at Simon LeBon from Duran Duran. He’s such a ham he talks right over his bandmates whenever they try to talk, if they even get to do so. I think you got alot of your misinfomation from that horrendous VH1 so-called “bio flick” that came out several years ago that depicted Joe as being a total prick and Rick Allen as a spoiled brat. All the guys in Def Leppard are really nice and down to earth. Rick Allen is the cutest and the hottest in my opinion, but I must say Mr. Elliott is quite a treat for the eyes…and aging quite beautifully I must say.

I think Joe’s aging really well. Howeve, I hate to say it, but a couple of years ago, one of my girlfriends told me that she had a very unpleasant experience meeting him after a concert. She said he was very rude and kind of dissed her when she asked for his autograph. But she mentioned how she noticed that he was being more than acomidating to all the skinny little blondies who look like the old Britney Spears. So, that kind of put me off to him. She also mentioned that Sav was really odd as was Vivian and she didn’t even bother meeting Rick Allen because he beat his wife. But she said that of all of them, Phil Collen was the nicest and most fan friendly. He even took the time to have a chat with her. So, I’ve never pesonally met Joe, but after my fiend’s story, I think it’s safe to say I’m no longer a fan of his. He should consider himself lucky that he still has fans out there.

Joe looks really good, but Phil Collen is alot hotter.
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:52 am
At least he is aging better than Britney Spears!! ;)
Apr 20, 2008 at 8:07 am
“At least he is aging better than Britney Spears!!”
Actually, I think Britney’s looking really good lately, but for a while there she was looking pretty bad.
But at least Joe never drove around with a baby on his lap, or drove over someone’s foot.
Apr 24, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Um, excuse me??!! Does the title say “Britney Spears Turned 48″??!! No!! It says “JOE ELLIOTT Turned 48″!! So let us try to keep the conversation about JOE ELLIOTT and not turn into another BRITNEY SPEARS blog, ‘kay??!!

Joe is definitely the man for me - I ran my hand up his leather-clad thigh at a concert a couple of years ago (should have inched a bit higher but didn’t have the nerve!) he looked down at me and smiled cheekily into my eyes - my god if I hadn’t been so hooked before that, I’d have fallen in love in that instant. (I’d like to point out just in case that the photo above is NOT what he looks like now - it’s from the 80’s! He’s now got shorter hair, a bit of a raddled face and struggles with his weight! I love a belly anyway so he’s still the sexiest man on earth whatever!
Apr 27, 2008 at 8:16 am
Yeah. I personally prefer men who have some fat on them. I don’t know why exactly. I just think it’s sexier because men who have chisled bodies tend to think highly of themselves. And, OMIGOD, you actually did that?!?!?! I don’t think I’d ever have the guts to do that sort of thing. Especially since he’s married and all. But, more power to you. He is, indeed, the sexiest man alive.
Apr 27, 2008 at 10:46 am
Ladies, ladies….Joe’s all mine…lol Settle down :)
Apr 28, 2008 at 6:02 am
joe still drives me crazy to this day with his understated sex appeal and his crazy gorgeous looks. but i do prefer when he had longer hair, circa “Adrenalize”. but he is still really, really hot and he is alot sexier than most guys in their twenties.
Apr 30, 2008 at 7:45 am
OMIGOD!!! This can’t be happening!! Def Leppard pulls a Britney Spears/Ashlee Simpson on “Dancing With the Stars”!!
They were actually lip-syncing!! Joe and the guys are always criticizing people like Ashlee and Britney for not being real performers and for lip-syncing during all their so-called “performances”….and they do the exact same thing last night!
It’s bad enough they’ve been using the same producers who’ve worked on all of Britney’s past albums, but now they’re taking “performing” cues from her, too?!?!?! Let’s just hope they all don’t wind up shaving their heads and running people down with their cars!

I don’t care if he loses all his hair and has to wear a comb-over, or if he gains 100 pounds…Joe Elliott will always be the sexiest man in the entire world!! I think he’s sexier than Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jude Law, Justin Timberlake, Colin Farrell, Mario Lopez and every other so-called “stud” out there now!! I’ll go out on a limb and say he’s sexier than Megan Fox and Scalett Johansson….HECK, HE’S SEXIER THAN JUST ABOUT ANYBODY!!!
May 3, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Rick Savage is by all means the most attractive Def Leppard member, or at least he was. Joe was better looking when he had longer hair. I’m really not liking the Prince Valiant haircut! Sad fact: men do not age well.
May 8, 2008 at 5:41 am
I admit back then I was a Sav girl. I thought he was the single most beautiful male specimen on the face of the planet with all that beautiful hair and those crystal eyes. Never thought too much of Joe up until a few years ago when I watched them on the Rock Honors concert. Joe was wearing those tight leather pants and Sav was wearing some white outfit…I rest my case. Joe is aging quite beautifully. Sav…well I’ll go easy on him because of the Bell’s Palsy.

just caught new interview with joe from some kind of talk show….i hate to say it but the man is not looking the way he used to.his hair looks awful and looks like he hasn’t washed it in decades and he’s starting to grow another head.i almost hate to say it but britney spears seems to be aging alot better because her hair’s in place and so is her body.i know it’s weird comparing a woman and a man,but as long as brit’s name came up i have to say she is looking alot better than our joe!
Jun 1, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Joe Elliott…..how smokin’ hot is this man?!!!! Saw all these “english muffins” at their tour opener in Greensboro, NC and it left me……breathless!!!! They seem to get hotter every year, especially our JOE! This man is so incredibly sexy….ladies, come on now. Who among you can really listen to the lyrics of “Tonight” (on the “Adrenalize” album) and not…well, you know!!!!! He says it all there, doesn’t he!!!! Or the opening lines of “Love and Affection”…..(is it getting hot in here or is it just me?)…….Why do I love Leppard’s music (besides Joe and that freakin’ sexy voice?)…..because it speaks to a woman’s heart…..a lot of the songs (especially the ballads) say the things all us ladies long to hear. They are and always will be my favorite band. And hey, cut ‘em a break about the Dancing With the Stars performance. Joe and Phil were both recovering from illness and, hey, a lip-sync performance by Leppard is better than no performance at all!!!!!!!
Thanks for a site that lets us Leppard lovers speak!
Jun 1, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I totally agree, Kat, Joe’s got an awesomely smooth voice :)
My site is your site, and it’a definitely a place for Leppard lovers to speak :)

Jun 25, 2008 at 6:21 am
Hey, Clare……wow, what a description….”pure sex on legs”…..ain’t it the truth!!!! (How lucky you were to see not only Leppard, but Whitesnake on the same night.) Hey, if you haven’t heard “All Night” on the Euphoria album (track 5), rush right out and get it………you won’t be sorry! (I just hate it took me so long to discover this song.) Talk about pure, unadulterated sex on legs!!!!!!! Joe, you shouldn’t tease us all like that!!!!!!!!!!! “Baby, it’s showtime…..”
Jun 30, 2008 at 2:49 am
Joe Elliott is still the smouldering sex god he was in 1983’s video for Foolin’. The modern day equivalent is Canada’s “idol” winner Kalen Porter. I swear he is Joe’s love child! LOL Look him up on You Tube. I feel like a dirty ol woman oogling Kalan, though…so I continue to oogle Joe ;-)Rock on Joe!
And I never thought Phil was sexy till recently-the years have improved him like a fine wine…Yum i like wine

I have loved Joe Elliott since I first saw him in concert in Birmingham NEC UK 1987. He is not what I would call a natural beauty but he does have the most gorgeous eyes I call them Leppard eyes very unique. Whatever happened to his girfriend Carla I always thought he would marry her and what a shame he does not have any children. I come from Dublin in Ireland but came to live in the UK in 1985 I wish I knew where Joes Garage is in Ireland I would love to meet him one day.

he did marry karla. They divorced years ago. He is now married to his second wife kristine. They have been married four years now. And as far as them lip syncing on dancing with the stars, that was the rule for that show, not a decision on the Leps part so go easy on them!! And as far as Joe not having kids, some say he cant have children as he had the mumps twice and sometimes that can render a man sterile. Other than that, not all people have to have children to be happy. I have no children by choice and live a very full happy life and can do things now that i couldnt do if i had kids. Maybe Joe just likes to be free and able to do what he wants without all the restraints kids put on a person. He may just be a free spirit like me.

i do love me some joe however i recently read an interview he did about a year ago and he at one point mentioned something about wanting to go down on britney spears. i think he was asked about britney spears flashing her private parts and when she went all nuts and shaved her hair off. he said something like, “man, i can’t believe i actually wanted to go down on this girl way back when! but that was back when she was still a teen virgin, or we all thought she was a virgin anyway!” man, i hope his wife didn’t/doesn’t read that.
