Той не притежава нейния стилистичен гланц, но пък е по-сърцат разказвач; сърцето му не е толкова излиятелно, ала пък тупти по-учестено; внушението му не е толкова обдъхано или телесно, ала пък, в своята носталгия, е по-съкровено. Джо умее да вижда - било с фотоапарата, било с китарата, било по пътя:
"One of my favorite pictures of Ms. Lzzy. This was during the final Halestorm 'Vicious' tour last December. We were whipped ass exhausted. We left the London show, flew to Sweden, drove three hours to the town with the gig and got some sleep. Played the show the next night at midnight, went three hours back to the airport, flew back to London, enjoyed a long layover, then flew to Japan. Landed in Tokyo and went right to the gig to prepare for the show that night. Played, slept an hour or two and went to the train station. Got on the bullet train to Osaka and went right to the gig. Played that and slept an hour or two. Got up before dawn and went to the airport. Flew to Malaysia for a fantastically tired eight hour layover. Then flew another eight hours to Sydney, Australia. Landed there and enjoyed a smokey 'day off'. The day of the show we snuck across the street from the venue and found an absolutely wonderful little restaurant. The food was so good and the people were so nice. It was a nice little moment of peace before the big Rock show that night. We were enjoying it and I snapped this picture. Tired but happy. I would give anything to go back to that kind of schedule right now." Joe Hottinger, 16 окт.' 2020, Instagram (link).
