Joe Elliott said there would be no point in Def Leppard doing a collaboration with Bon Jovi.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Elliott referenced the band’s unexpected collab with Taylor Swift in 2008 for CMT’s Crossroads show.

“I loved the idea of something that’s gonna either piss people off or they go, ‘Good for you for doing something different,'” Elliott explained. “If you’re gonna do collaborations, I don’t see the point in us doing a song with Bon Jovi. … It’s like, I’d prefer the idea of Jon [Bon Jovi] doing a song with like, Tom Waits. Us doing something with Loudon Wainwright III or Leonard Cohen. Somebody completely off the wall.”
