Def Leppard

Lol - who the hell cares?

I thought the Stanley Cup was golf

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Some of these NHL fans take the game as serious as a religion. Joe may as well placed a cross upside down in a church!

lol, why should Def Leppard care about the views of some serious losers then?

[Bridge]

Some of these NHL fans take the game as serious as a religion.

All sports fans are like that, hockey or otherwise.  They live and breathe that shit.


Anyway, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge is absolutely one of my favorite Def Leppard albums.  Full of greats songs from start to finish.  After their last few lackluster efforts, I was really surprised by the quality found here.  One of the best rock n roll albums this year.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I've heard this day songs from the sparkle and I think it's great, though love it's a rip off of Queen's Jelousy, i love the fact that they pay tribute to them cause it's a great song is so great to heard this album.
Only the good die young is also a great peak in this album, i'll keep listening all weekend 

[Halo69]

my favorite Leppard songs - "armageddon it" and "Have you ever needed someone so bad"

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I got Pyromania the other day and was kinda surprised at how Joe Elliott sounds similar to Brian Johnson on a few songs.

Looks like Def Leppard is next up for a Vegas residency.  Also Vince Neil said on TMS that Motley Crue is looking at doing another residency, so hopefully Guns will follow suit and do it all again in the future.

* STYX to appear

DEF LEPPARD recently rescheduled several postponed tour dates with STYX and TESLA because Elliott was suffering from vocal issues.



I'm suprised they announced this huge tour considering Joe couldnt even make it through 20 some shows without his voice giving out
