Got a Question for Joe Elliott of Def Leppard?

If you've ever wanted to interview Def Leppard - read on.
Noisecreep is interviewing Def Leppard front man Joe Elliott next week - and your help is needed. Dearest Bring Back Glam! readers, here's all you need to do:
To submit a question to Joe, just leave it in the comment section. I'll give you until Sunday at 11:59pm ET to leave questions and then the comments will be closed. Do not email me questions! I'll choose the best of the bunch for the interview (I cannot guarantee Joe will answer your question or even how many BBG! questions will make the final cut – but it’s definitely worth a shot!) The interview will be in video format. I'll alert you when the clip is ready via Noisecreep.
So, what do you want to know? Why Def Leppard is *really* touring with Poison this summer? What Joe thought while performing during the Country Music Television Awards? The sky is the limit and ask away - but please - keep it real.

If I was able to interview them in person, I'd say to thank Phil for throwing a pick right at me at the end of the Adelaide show, even if the scumbag security gave it to someone else
I'd ask if Def Leppard will continue to release albums, but every tour, the songs from the last album are dropped and never heard from again. If they do that, why release albums at all, they're saying they know that most people are not buying them, or not liking them as much as the old stuff
As a follow up I'd ask if he still feels that Def Leppard is still on the "A" list since they haven't come close to touching the album sales they once had.
Personally, I'd like to THANK THIS BAND for continuing to make new music. Say what you want, like it or not, I love the fact that they keep it going. Bret may have bagged on them for lip syncing on some awards show (oh, the irony), but when was the last time Poison put out a new record? Yeah, Def Leppard still continues to put the new music out there, despite commercial success or not. I loved Slang, I loved X, Promises is one of my all time faves, I thought the covers record was great,I love the collaboration with Tim McGraw! Yes, they continue to keep it real. NOW....why don't they change up their set lists and incorporate songs such as Me & MY Wine, Stagefright, Excitable, Lady Strange, etc...Hell, I'd even love to hear Breathe A Sigh off Slang. I know you can't please everyone but to hear some of the great songs from earlier years would make my world and i know other lep fans' world too. I'm excited about this tour! I just hope the set list isn't for the greatest hits fans and for their REAL fans! Ok, that's my rant for the day.
1. Would you ever be up for putting out a Guitar Hero - Def Leppard, as other bands have done?
2. After 32 years of Def Leppard do you see a retirement from the music buisness in the future?
My question is this: You stated that you intended to take next year off from touring and record an new album. I've been a fan for nearly 30 years, so I know that in Def Leppard time that means you may not tour for 2-3 years. I hope I am wrong, but when do you think you will be back on the road with another new album? I will see you in about 2 weeks in Wisconsin, but it's never too soon to start planning the next trip to see you.
that you use or does your voice just come out like that on higher notes?
