Joe Elliott Reveals Secret To Def Leppard's Longevity
. When grunge exploded onto the music scene in the early '90s a number of more traditional rock bands were phased out or dropped. But Elliott says the key to Leppard's enduring success was 'perspiration'. He tells Meltdown of the WRIF radio station in Detroit, Michigan: "What we did in the '90s was remember what we said to ourselves in the '80s. Bands like Reo Speedwagon, Foreigner, Journey and Styxx… When we came along, there seemed to be a lot of bands from that '80s era that just … I don't know… They kind of gave up, or their record companies gave up. It was the arrival of Guns N' Roses which began to muscle bands like Def Leppard off playlists but Elliott was determined not to chuck in the towel.
