Quotes from other members of Def Leppard, as well as other peole who were fortunate enough to have spent time with Steve. "I feel sad for all the people who will be distressed that Steve is gone - his parents, his family, friends and the fans, the kids for whom Steve was their favourite. And as a musician, he had so much to offer, so much that he'll never have a chance to express now. I believe that if you've got it, flaunt it. And he had it." - Joe Elliott"Over it's life we have called it all sorts of things... Steve's Zepp riff. We all knew it was one of the key reasons for doing the album (Retro Active) because it was an unreleased Def Leppard track and Steve loved it." - Joe Elliott talking about Desert Song with a plaster cow's head on it and calls it "Mookie Manor" (named after Mookie Wilson of the NY Mets and the cow, of course)." - Peter Mensch. "Steve played us these four chords then went on "then there's this bit that goes over the top. Then another bit that goes over those bits. Then another bit that goes over the top of those bits" and we're thinking he's really lost it this time! Needless to say they all fitted wonderfully. That was Steve's genius." - Sav talking about Switch 625"Thanks to Steve this is a great chance to hear the band shine without Joe (sorry Joe), and when we play it live I get my 30 seconds in the spotlight. Cool song." - Rick, about Switch 625. "With the rest of the band we have distractions that are useful. Steve had a guitar and a bottle and those were the only two things in his life. It was difficult cos he was an alcoholic and he had a lot of problems." - Joe Elliott"He was immensely likeable, in some way you could never put your finger on. He was a very shy person, but then all of a sudden in a burst of about 10 minutes, he would just stand up and walk along the bar and start doing a dance in front of a packed bar. He would kinda get that off his chest and with make a complete spectacle of himself and then come back and sit down as if nothing had happened.. and the whole place'd be in uproar." - Sav"He'd be so quiet off stage. Then he would get up there and explode into this Guitar God. That was his thing." - Joe Elliott "It was a brilliant riff, but he had more than just the riff. He'd put the chords after it for the bridge, and he had an idea for the middle section. He walked off that bus with an instant song!" - Sav talking about Wasted |
