JAKARTA - In a new interview with Metro England, Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott again said he would be open to making his band's biographical film in the Bohemian Rhapsody style of Queen and Rocketman of Elton John.
"There's always something to discuss, but don't forget that there was a very bad MTV film in 1999! The budget is low, the research is bad, and I have to intervene at one stage to say 'You can't put Phil [Collen, guitarist Def Leppard] in the band as we bring High 'N' Dry.' We will be slaughtered by our fans. Whatever happens from now on will be much more accurate," Joe said. from Blabbermouth.
There's a story to tell, but the only problem is from a media point of view, it's only about two big things: Rick's arm [Allen, drummer Def Leppard] and Steve [Clark's death, guitarist Def Leppard]. After that, not much more will surprise anyone.
"I can walk on the street on Def Leppard's T-shirt on the day of the show and no one knows who I am! We have to get out a lot of truth that is never told to make it interesting."
The film, referred to by Joe, Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story, was produced by VH1 and described as "a true story of one of the most successful pop-metal bands in the 80s."
After its release, it was criticized by the music editor of Deseret News Scott Iwasaki as a "symptomatic" film that reduced members of Def Leppard's band to "one-dimensional characters".
"If the film wasn't based on a real band, I swear it should be a sequel to 1984's Moccumentary Rob Reiner 'This Is Spinal Tap'," Iwasaki added.
