Rock and Roll Garage

On a interview with Eddie Trunk, Def Leppard’s vocalist Joe Elliott and guitarist Phil Collen revealed which artist they would like to put in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Phil Collen said: "There is a really obvious one, and we would love it - Brian May from Queen would be great. "We just played Vegas just a few months ago - Queen were playing just around the corner, and I bumped into Brian at the gym, actually. And he said, 'You're playing tonight?' I said, 'Yeah.' He said, 'Me too.' "He goes, 'What time do you finish?' And I said, 'We finish about 11.' He said, 'We finish at 8. I'll be over later. I'll finish and I'll come straight over.' He turned up. He'd done a show with Queen, and he came over. "And it was just, like, amazing. Brian is one of my biggest influences. I love him. I just can't get over how amazing he is. And we all do - we're huge Queen fans and Brian fans. And so, that would be lovely, if he'd be up for it. But, you know, we'll see." Joe Elliott said: "We didn't take it for granted that we were gonna get it. I know we were crushing the fan vote, but there's more than the fans - there's all the people that we don't know who they're gonna vote for. "So we didn't even think about who we're gonna get to induct us because we didn't wanna think... I don't like pre-planning that far ahead in case it all falls flat and you don't end up getting in. And then you put a lot of energy into something that you didn't need to do. "And trust me, I need all the energy I can get at my age; I'm not gonna waste it on stuff until I have to. Now we will start thinking about who's gonna do it. "And I suppose [Mott the Hoople frontman] Ian [Hunter] would be one of the people we would think about if he's available and wants to do it. We're open-minded. We're also realistic that some people might not wanna do it. We'll see." See more News
