Regarding the Mexican slur incident. You obviously didn't research this properly or you would know Joe was quoting Cheech and Chong to the Mexican crowd, thinking they would love it. The band had been watching C&C movies on the tour bus and were used to quoting sections of it to each other. Unfortunately, some people in the crowd didn't get the reference. And yet you say: "Elliott has had many instances where he has used racial slurs against blacks and Mexicans." That is completely untrue. Can you name one other instance? I have been following this band closely my whole life and that misjudged attempt at humour in Mexico is the ONLY time I've ever heard him or any of them say anything even vaguely racist. Joe learned his lesson and never said anything ever again which could be taken up wrong.
@@mikepeterson8404 I kind of hope Joe sees this and sues this guy for defamation. He deserves it for saying something so nasty and completely lacking in facts to back it up.
In this video we're going to see how many things they have gotten wrong. Joe has never had many instances of using racial slurs against blacks and Mexicans. He made a foolish mistake in his early 20s by saying something he had heard on Cheech and Chong, and because a group at that show had been very disruptive and were throwing things on stage at the band. He was young and he paid dearly for his mistake. I don't know anything about an Italian restaurant but can tell you Joe doesn't eat dairy, and has always said his favorite color is red. His first wife's name was Karla not Karly, that picture is not of Findlay, that's a fan. So from this point, there's no point in watching the rest of this. Someone should get their facts straight or leave the Leppard info to the real fans.
Exactly. Joe never said racist things towards black people. The whole Mexico debacle was him using the word, "greasy" to describe them. That was because he grew up watching westerns where Mexicans were depicted as having greasy hair. Hardly racist on Joe's part. Although I remember a lot in the Mexican community taking offense, but that was 40 year's ago and joe apologised for that. I don't know what it has to do with someone's wealth/lifestyle.
@@ZippyThePinhead I guess, technically, Rick Allen and Phil are not founding members, either. If you wanna go back far enough, Rick Savage is the only member of the original band that became Def Leppard. I dunno. Maybe the video producer(s) have a dislike for Viv.
Despite what you might say & not because I'm a huge fan, but I think Joe is a wonderful human being & obviously very dedicated musician. Everyone makes mistakes & he apologized. End of story.
hahaah this video is all BS none of the numbers make sense, all using stock photos and pretty innacurate info about band members. wasted 10 mins that i am not getting back
Exotic cars do nothing for me. People who drive and them got their license usually think their shit doesn't stink. Not saying the members of Def Leppard are like that. Nothing like a good old American Muscle car like a GTO or Camaro in my opinion.
Great job not having your facts straight and slandering the man. My favorite part was how you said that incident led to many of the bands "downfalls." I'm starting to think the ones that scream racism are actually the ones that are in need of repair.
They're not. All are really down to earth. Joe made a mistake that one time when he was just trying to stir up the crowd. And, of course, Phil's current wife is black.
Maybe Due To Outside The Band Investments Joe Made Smart With His Money Or Divorce Settlements & Child Support The Others Might Have Had To Pay Out Or Drug Addictions
Well Now We All Know Who To Borrow Money From Joe Elliott He Has The Most $70 Million, Rick Allen $50 Million, Rick Savage $40 Million, Phil Collen $20 Million
THIS WAS A PR MOVE ! JOE WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID WHAT HE SAID WITH THE RACIAL COMMENT , AND THEN APOLOGIZED BECAUSE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS . BUT HE STILL WAS CORRECT IN WHAT HE SAID .
@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. That ending was weird. And you know since Europe is a continent, there are tens and tens of countries. And many of them have things way better that in the USA which is basically a plutocracy disguised as a democracy.
Have to wonder why Phil is only worth $20 mil while Rick is worth $50? Maybe all the divorces Phil had? or the fact his name is Phil(like me) it sure ain;t easy at times LOL!
Hear say. Until you show video or news clipping or authentic Audio, of all said accusations, it's hear say. and EVEN IF it was true your talking younger years not who they are today. But again Hear Say!
Redo this video because you have made too many errors. Don’t know if the remark about racist comments was just to get people to watch but it’s totally WRONG information.
#1. {Clickbait} post picture of Joe Elliott’s “Now” photo shows him with an 18 year old groupie & not his current age-appropriate wife, Kristine. #2. JE first wife’s name was Karla {Not Carly}??? Don’t you all do research on this stuff? #3. If JE likes “pure authentic Italian food” (whatever “pure” is?) then why are you showing him in your low-grade video eating sushi?
Shows a pic of Steve when talking about Sav loves drinking wine. Talks about racism & spousal abuse….none of that has anything to do with their cars & houses. If you wanted make a video slinging mud @ DEF LEPPARD then title it that way..
Doesnt mayter this guy doesnt know anything. Plus everyone who knows Joe knows his favorite color is Red he has said it in Metal Edge magazine and in many interviews.. so this guy is just spewing half truths. 🙄 😅🤦♀️
Those who are music fans care. I know many facts about music. I read teen beat and listened to EVERYTHING from Motown to metal from the time I could speak. I know random facts about many artists.
