Recently ON AIR on QLZ, you have heard Def Leppard’s Joe Elliot doing guest vocals with Ghost on a new take of their their epic 2022 single ‘Spillways’. Read up more about ti and read what Elliott thought about the meeting of the metalic minds on the refreshed.
Elliott says: “Impera was my favorite rock album of 2022… I found out along the way that Tobias is a bit of a fan of Def Leppard, so I guess it was inevitable we’d both find out about each other! Once we’d been introduced to the idea of working together it just snowballed organically and I’m thrilled that I got to sing on what is my favorite song from that album!” Elliot added that he was first introduced to Ghost by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. “I was really intrigued, so I asked him [Collen] to Dropbox me the new album. I listened to it all, and I thought it was absolutely stunning. It’s like a whole new genre of music—it’s way more Toto than death metal or any of that stuff. It’s like the song ‘Spillways.’ It starts off like ‘Hold the Line’ by Toto or ‘Jane’ by Jefferson Starship—one of those classic ’70s songs that begin on the piano before these big, chunky chords come in.”
