Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott dislikes the term "heavy metal".
Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott has revealed that he dislikes the term "heavy metal," describing it as a "silly, silly term." He believes that the term carries a negative impression of the genre and has been overused, often being applied to bands that don't fit the genre, such as UFO, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, and Queen. Elliott argues that these bands had blues influences and were not heavy metal bands.
