Hi, I'm Joe Elliott and you are watching the [Eb] Billboard.
[Abm] [Db] [Eb]

[Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Bb] [Abm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] They invited us on and they asked us to close the show with Taylor Swift and [Db] that [Eb] went down really [Bb] well.
It was a highlight of the night for me obviously but it was a highlight of the night for [Ab] everybody from what I've been told.
[Eb] It was nice to be invited onto that area of music where we've never really strayed before other than working [Ab] with Tim McGraw [Eb] on the album for one track.
[Ab] That was more like Tim going rock than Leopard going country.
[B] Working with Taylor was a little more [Gb] meeting in the middle.
But it [Ab] was nice to feel welcome in that area of [Eb] music, something that we've never expected.
[B] [Db]
[Gb] [Db] [Ebm] [B]
[Db] Taylor Swift's music [Ebm] was easy for us to [B] negotiate around [Db] and in and with [Gb] because it's so [Ebm] influenced by what [B] we've done.
Because she's such a fan and [Ab] been a fan since she could crawl.
So it was [B] pretty obvious that when we did get [Db] together it was going to [Ebm] work.
Some of the songs that she's wrote, when [Ab] we [Db] played them, [Gb] we were looking at each other going, [Ebm] we could have written this.
We didn't but we couldn't.
[Gb] [Db]
[Ebm] Baby you know [B] all the [Gb] right things to [Db] say.
[Ebm] I think modern [Gb] country music is very influenced by 80s rock, 70s rock.
I think [Db] it's blurred, the [Ebm] lines are blurred.
The distance between them or the difference between them [B] is hard to [Gb] tell anymore.
There's always been the odd band that have been able [Db] to stick their foot in and have a little dip.
[B]
[Db]
[Eb] [Cm] [Ab]
[F] [Bb]
[Cm] I think Def Leppard's popularity [Ab] just rides [F] the wave.
As long as [Bb] we stay around, we're [Cm] either going to be going down to come up or going up to come down again.
[G] It's never going to flatline.
[F] It's too exciting a [Dm] lifestyle to just flatline and just be this bland thing.
We'll [G] go [Gm] cult and we'll be the [D] biggest cult band in the world and then we'll come up again and be popular.
I think that [G] it's always been with us.
[F] When Pirate Mania [C] broke ballistic in [Am] America in 83, [Dm] nobody had heard of us in the rest of the world.
[Gm] And then when Hysteria came out four years later, [C] the rest of the world caught up and America went even further.
I always hoped [F] that we would be the biggest [C] band in the world and for a little period of time we were.
[Dm] [D] Did I ever honestly think that we'd sell [C] 10 million albums twice and the third album would do 7 million?
Not really, no.
I'm an [F] artist, [C] so I just [Eb] have to grasp it and get on with it and say,
okay, that was then, this is now, now we've got to try and do it again.
[Ab] The one thing that's negative about it is [Abm]
it's [Fm] what you're always measured against.
No matter what you do, people will [Bb] compare it to Hysteria.
And that's just my life and there's nothing I can do [Cm] about it.
Except try and [Ab] better Hysteria, which is going to be very [F] difficult.
