Def Leppard's Joe Elliott Dispels Hysteria Era Misconception
. The band were at the height of their fame following the release of blockbuster album Hysteria in 1987. But they decided to focus on the challenge of getting their performance right, rather than allowing themselves to indulge in distractions. Elliott tells Maxim: "It was such an exhausting two-and-a-half hour show, we just wanted to go to bed. We knew it was going to be hard work to match an album like Hysteria live, because there were so many overdubs. It's like Queen learning to play Bohemian Rhapsody live, without using tapes in the middle bit. So we were really focused on what we did." He adds: "All the other stuff was pretend, really. Everybody said, 'What do we really want out of this? Do we want to be one of these idiot Sunset Boulevard bands, or do we want to coat-tail off the back of the Who, the Stones, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Kinks and Queen?"
