Anyone into Def Leppard?

Saw them tonight for the first time since '93...they still got it!  I was disappointed that they only played an hour and forty five minutes with no opener, but it was high energy the whole time.  All old stuff, a couple covers, even had the sound effects with Gods of War.  I'd have liked to hear some of their newer stuff too, but that's ok, it was a great show.  One of the things Joe Elliott said at the end was "Don't forget us and we won't forget you!"   Not sure what he meant by that.    ???

My wife likes them. I can't say I was ever a huge fan.

Very cool! Not a huge fan, but i have them twice and met them once. The first time was in 1988. My best memory was of Steve. Then I saw them in 1992.

Did they play anything made before Pyromania? I remember a few years ago they spoke in an interview how they didn't play any "On through the nigh"t or "High and Dry" songs because neither of the guitar players were involved in those songs and they didn't feel it was right to force them to play that stuff. That turned me off as that is my favorite era of Def Leppard.

Why does liking Def Leppard put me in the same category as that retard?    ::)  And no, nothing from HD or OTN.  Mainly Hysteria.

I put their tape in the same box as my mullet and stone washed jeans (with a zillion holes) .... Then I burned it  :flame:

This ticket is only $69.00 ?  If I'd have known that I'd have been going FASTER !

Def Leppard is my favorite band. Unfortunely I have never seen them in concert in person. But as far as what he said at the end, Joe has always said that as long as no one forgets the band, they will be around to perform. I just hope their next album is harder then the last one "X". I think the ballads are only ok. I prefer the harder rock songs. "X" only had 3 hard songs that I really liked a lot.

Yeah, X was good, but definitely a step away from the Fab 4 (Pyro, Hyst, Aden, Euph).  They're putting out a cover CD and more greatest hits...and what the hell is the point of that?

Never bought anything past, "Hysteria", but they were the first concert I got to see (1987).

Rick's one-armed drum solo was pretty cool. :punkrocka:

Plus, there was way more chicks at that concert then when I went to see Metallica the next year. :2thumbs:

Never been into Def Lepard.. I got the Hysteria album, but after listening to it once, I kinda felt I should take it back to the record store and get my money back.. So in other words -Def Lepard sucks :icon_smile_dead:

Sorry guys, "On through the Night" and "High and Dry" are a whole different world than the later, commercial stuff they did. I can see the remarks about Pyromania and after (I like that stuff too, but nothing from the 90's and later), but that earlier stuff was part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and was awesome.

Their first albums were 5 kids rocking out. they were all talented musicians and had a recording contract when they were 17/18. Once Mutt Lange started producing them their sound got to " bubblegum" for me, although I do like several songs on their Hysteria album.

Me and my wife like them. My fav album is Pyromania. We are going to see them next Friday. They are touring with Bryan Adams. Should be fun.

Bryan Adams wasn't with them here in Florida, but I didn't mind...I'm not a huge fan.

Def Leppard ROCKS!!  I saw them with Ozzy and Randie Roads when they were just starting out.  At first I was like . . . WHo's Def Leppard??  Then they started playing and it all came together!  Thats who they are.  Had heard the songs but didn't know the name!  That was a long time ago in the 80's at Pine Knob in Michigan!   Saw alot of great concerts there!   
Tomorrow is promised to NOBODY . . . .

Actually, Def Leppard would look more like this...
