Joe Elliott: Def Leppard isn’t a hair band

They at least used to be considered a hair band….but I can see Joe’s point of view, when considering they did sell more than ten million copies of Pyromania and Hysteria.
Phil Collen elaborates on the hair band idea, via Blabbermouth:
“The TV thing, it’s such a huge thing. Unfortunately we did get lumped in with POISON. It was the time frame,” Collen said.
You don’t see the band as magazine cover boys too often, and Elliott elaborated on why they aren’t placed there or among lists of the best musicians of all time.
“Rolling Stone and some of the others are really going to be stumped as to whom to put on the cover in a few years because Dylan’s going to be dead, McCartney is going to be dead, the STONES are going to be dead. Is anybody going to step up to the plate in their eyes that they can now turn into the icon?”
I still think they rock, hair band label or not! Just my two cents.
