JOE ELLIOTT Talks DOWN 'N OUTZ, Future Of DEF LEPPARD In New Video Interview - July 24, 2010
Gibson.com recently conducted an interview with recently conducted an interview with DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott about DOWN 'N OUTZ — a project fronted by Elliott, backed by THE QUIREBOYS and playing rare tracks connected only by MOTT THE HOOPLE. You can now watch the chat below.
DOWN 'N OUTZ has just released its debut album, "My ReGeneration". The CD includes covers of songs by Mott, Ian Hunter and BRITISH LIONS, the music DOWN N' OUTZ performed as the support act for MOTT THE HOOPLE at one of the legendary band's 2009 reunion shows. Fans who bought the disc might have noticed that this CD is marked "Volume 1." That implies there is more to come and Joe told VH1 Radio Networks' Dave Basner what to expect from the band in the future.
"This is 'Volume 1,' as it says so on the artwork," he explained. "'Volume 2' will feature some MOTT THE HOOPLE songs as well as more BRITISH LIONS, MOTT and IAN HUNTER stuff. The third album we'll probably just do genuine classic '70s stuff of bands other than MOTT and we've promised by the fourth album, which may be five years away for all we know, if it even happens, would be original music. So it's kind of a long-term side project that we're just going to do if and when we have the chance."
In addition to Joe Elliott (vocals, guitar, keyboards), DOWN 'N OUTZ features THE QUIREBOYS' Paul Guerin (guitar), Guy Griffin (guitar), Keith Weir (keyboards) and Phil Martini (drums) and finally bassist Ronnie Garrity (RAW GLORY).
"My ReGeneration" was produced by Joe Elliott, with co-production by Ronan McHugh, and was recorded at Elliott's own studio Joe's Garage and Moor Hall studio in Bedfordshire.

01. Golden Opportunity (Ian Hunter)
