Elliott Frustrated By Def Leppard’s Lack Of Respect
DEF LEPPARD star JOE ELLIOTT has accused the music press of failing to give rock bands due credit - insisting his group deserves the same respect as stars such as BONO, SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY and MORRISSEY.
The singer claims music journalists fawn over big name stars such as the U2 frontman and the former Beatles bassist, but often ridicule his band even though they have enjoyed comparable success.
And Elliott can’t understand why Def Leppard aren’t considered “cool”.
He tells Britain’s Metro, “We don’t get the credit we deserve in Britain… It’s nice to walk down Oxford Street without being recognised but then again when music magazines write about us they take the p**s (ridicule us) because we’re not as cool as Johnny Marr, who isn’t as successful as us by a million miles. (British TV host) Jools Holland won’t have us on his show because we’re not cool enough.
“Rock’s ploughed its own furrow for 30 years but still music magazines don’t give rock its due… How many more front covers do Paul MCCartney and Morrissey need? Our album will sell more than Morrissey’s so why don’t we get the same kind of respect?
“There are more people than Bono and Michael Stipe to put on the cover of a magazine… There are more musicians out there… Bands who have sold s**tloads of records, whether it be us or Depeche Mode, are becoming footnotes.”

Bona Drag 20th anniversary reissue!!!
FROM true to you
Bona Drag: 20th Anniversary vinyl and CD editions release information
12 July 2010
To celebrate its 20th Anniversary, on 27th September, EMI will release through the resurrected 1960s Major Minor label, with Morrissey’s full cooperation, a remastered Special Edition of Bona Drag.
Originally released to much acclaim in October 1990, Bona Drag perfectly captures Morrissey’s effortless transition in becoming a solo artist. It brings together his exceptional first seven singles, four of which went Top 10: his triumphant Top 5 debut, “Suedehead”; the anthemic, apocalyptic lament to wet seaside towns, “Everyday Is Like Sunday”; “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys”; and “Interesting Drug”. The Top 20s “Ouija Board, Ouija Board”, “November Spawned A Monster”, and “Piccadilly Palare” and a selection of high quality b-sides from the singles complete the album.
The compilation has now been remastered and overseen by Morrissey, and is updated with the addition of six previously unreleased and much coveted songs from the era:
- “Happy Lovers At Last United”
(Outtake from “Sunday” sessions)
- “Lifeguard On Duty”
(Outtake from Viva Hate sessions)
- “Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness” (demo)
(Outtake from Viva Hate, previously covered by Sandie Shaw)
- “Oh Phoney”
(Outtake from Bona Drag sessions)
- “The Bed Took Fire” (early version of “At Amber”)
- “Let The Right One Slip In” (alternate long mix)
Directing the artwork for the reissue, Morrissey has chosen to return the cover art - taken from the “November” video - back to its natural colour, so his shirt is black. In addition, he has also decided to update the back and inner artwork with a selection of favourite, hand-picked and rarely-seen photos.
The LP version will be a double heavyweight 180g vinyl, housed in a wide-spine sleeve with a pull-out poster. The CD will be housed in a gatefold, card sleeve with an eight-page booklet, which will contain the aforementioned photos.
Major Minor Records was started by Radio Caroline manager Phil Solomon. Its truly eclectic roster of artists and singles releases makes it a perfect home for Morrissey. These include such esteemed and high-watermark pop classics as:
David McWilliams - Days Of Pearly Spencer
Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg - Je t’aime… moi non plus
Them - Gloria
Tommy James and The Shondells - I Think We’re Alone Now & Mony Mony
Taste - Blister On The Moon
July - My Clown
Frazer Hines - Who’s Dr. Who?
Malcolm Roberts - May I Have The Next Dream With You
Isley Brothers - It’s Your Thing
Karen Young – Nobody’s Child
The Dubliners - Seven Drunken Nights
This will be the first release on the label since 1970.
There will be more Morrissey news to come in the next month.
