Guitarist Phil Collen and lead singer Joe Elliott told The Pulse Of Radio that when it comes to touring America, they've pretty much seen and rocked every inch of it: "We've actually been everywhere in the States," Collen said. "Yeah, I mean, we're so used to it now, and, y'know, we did them all in 1983, we did 'em all again in '87, '88, '92, '93. Basically, whenever we go to these little places, it's normally for the third or the fourth time," added Elliott. "It's more than most Americans do. They go, 'Oh, we've never even heard of that place.' (We) go, 'Oh, yeah, yeah, we've been there. We've done that," Collen said.
