Def Leppard: 'Alex Turner Is Not The New Bob Dylan'

May 9, 2008
Def Leppard: 'Alex Turner Is Not The New Bob Dylan'Def Leppard have refused to join other musicians in hailing Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner as the new Bob Dylan.

“Alex Turner is a great writer. He is a poet. Hailing him as the new Dylan though, that's a little far-fetched,” the veteran band’s singer Joe Elliot said.

Speaking to the BBC, Elliot said he would wait ten years before judging just how good Turner and the band can become.

"They've joined the ranks of us, the Human League, Joe Cocker and Dave Berry as Sheffield's musical exports. Woo-hoo!”

Def Leppard are currently promoting their new album, ‘Songs From The Sparkle Lounge’, which is expected to go top five this weekend.
