It has got to the point of ‘would you like a glass of wine?’ As opposed to, ‘Let’s go and down 20 pints and beat somebody up on Grafton Street’.” You get older, things settle down, things change. Guns N’ Roses lived it and showed it to the world. We were very nervous about making that a selling point. But we never wanted it to outshine the music.

Back in the 1980s, Def Leppard partied as hard as any of their peers, says frontman Joe Elliott.
