Well, just got back from seeing Def Leppard in concert for the first time ever in my life and I must say, they rocked!
I have been a long time Def Leppard fan since I was in the middle school way back in the day and I never got a chance to see them. When I heard they were playing in Albany, NY I jumped at the chance to see them.
They may be old now, but the concert still kicked some serious arse!
Funny question, why is it that Brits talk with a British Accent but when they sing there is no accent at all? I never figured that out.

That was a pretty darn fine show, if I remember correctly!

As for the accent thing, if you figure it out, maybe then you'll be able to solve why it is that obnoxious US singers put on a British accent to sing.

We saw Def Leppard on the Euphoria Tour in San Antonio. In fact, I have an MP3 they recorded while we were there. And yes - they rock very well. I'd go see them again.
We just saw Boston on the 8th - and I must say "THOSE GUY FREAKEN ROCK!!!!"
Go see Boston if you can, Coz. You won't be disappointed. Especially if you like Def Leppard.

I got to see them for free last summer in the Wal-mart parking lot. They were playing the parking lots of several Wal-mart to promote their new album. This was not the first time that I have seen them

I saw them during there in the round tour. I think it was during Histeria tour.
80's Rock/Metal is the best
What's up with the new Metallica?

Boston and Def Leppard both rock! Personally, I like the first two albums from each of them more than the others, especially Def Leppard. That's just my opinion, of course.

Yea, he was there and still in the band. I think out of all the original members only one of the guitarists is not a "original member".
Got a lot of respect for the "one armed drummer". He pulls off some amazing tunes with just one arm and keep up with other drummers that can use both arms.
He lost his other arm in a car accident I believe? I think he was wearing his seatbelt and the seatbelt took his arm off....
