Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt

This week we welcome Joe Elliott back to the podcast. Joe is in town to talk about the reissue of Pyromania and it doesn’t take long before Guy, Gary, and Joe are discussing their favourite artists and their favourite gigs. Joe is the perfect guest for this podcast because he’s such a music fan as much as being a global rock and roll star.
The 40th anniversary special reissue of Pyromania is out now. https://defleppard.lnk.to/D2CPYRO40
