Def Leppard Fans?
Huge fan and Pour Some Sugar On Me is one of my three favorite songs. They’re touring this summer (saw them twice) and have a tv commercial promoting the tour.
Click here and then click the link to see it. Joe looks like he’s aged badly, the words don’t match his mouth movements, but the commercial is funny as hell. If I were able, I’d fly to see them. Might be their last tour and they were/are one of the great underrated bands of the 80’s and 90’s, at least in the USA. Listen to their CDs and you’ll see they weren’t a cover band or copycat, but had a unique sound and talented musicians. |

I love Def Leppard! They had such a crazy history too, with drugs and the drummer losing his arm. Wild ride as they say.
It's SO sad but age gets to all of us. The problem is there's no NEW Def Leppard-type band or rock stars coming up so it just feels like all the good bands are just dying off one by one. Have you seen Jon Bon Jovi lately? He looks like a character from The Sopranos now, with his grey hair and suit. LOL |

I am a huge Journey fan and they are touring together...
I went to see Journey a few years ago, front row tickets... I just looked and they want $400 for floor tickets. Fuck that. |

Swift doesn't have the vocal chops for that type of music. She dances, prances and poses rather spastic. They don't harmonize together on any level. Only watchable 'cuz Swift isn't too hard on the eyes. And the curiosity factor of what does Def Leppard sound like these days... |

Seen Joe and Phil on Pawn Stars the other day.
Phil did a solo in the store. |
Great band indeed! Saw them about 10 years ago. They put on an awesome show ...and they also seem to be nice "down to earth" types of guys too.

On A side note LOVE BITES is the one I like :winkwink: |
I liked some of their songs but was never really a big fan. One thing I thought was cool though was when the drummer has his accident and lost his arm. Instead of giving up, he returned to the drums and brought along some new tech, MIDI, to help him play better than ever. Pretty dang cool.

Whomever thought to hook them up was on LSD. That’s tantamount to Donnie Osmond singing with Axl Rose or Michael Jackson singing with Joan Jett! Def Leppard rose above their tragedies and stayed strong. When Rick Allen lost his arm, everyone thought they were done. He worked hard to learn to use his feet on drums. When he stood up and took a bow, the Providence Civic Center went wild. We must have cheered for five minutes just for him. The band never gave up on him or replaced him. That’s loyalty. I’d read that they were decent chaps (!) or blokes (?) in interviews so it’s nice to have it confirmed. And it’s really cool to see fans here. Rock and roll never dies. Great bands aren’t common; bands promoted as great but are mediocre are too prevalent. They’ve aged but still sound damned good. I’ll never look at sugar again without seeing Joe in my head in that commercial! I need to hunt for some videos of their other songs or recordings. Great background music... |
