They are coming to town. I want to see REO and Tesla coming with them.

Is DL going to be a totally lame, synthesized mess? Do they rock at all like On Through The Night and early albums?

They still put on a really good show.

I love theirs early stuff. The music is on point and they're still great even though Joe Elliot can't hit the high notes anymore. That's what age does to you. And Phil Collen is a bad ass.

Saw them last week, great show.  Last time I saw them in person was 93...they still sound the same.

I've seen them twice, they always put on a good show.  



Never did quite understand the hate... It's just Journey with distortion.

Saw them at SPAC last year. Excellent show. Tesla and styx opened for them. Well worth the $35 lawn seats.

Saw them a few weeks ago.  Was really going because I love REO but Def Leppard really blew them away.   Played all the songs I wanted to hear except Too late for love.






Tesla cancelled so REO and DL played a few more songs.

Def Leppard had the misfortune of breaking big during the hair metal craze,  but they weren't hair metal, just a solid rock band who pulled tons of pussy.

My favorite band growing up.

You may not like them and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but really? Worst band ever? You must not have been exposed to very much music.

I played my Hysteria tape until it broke.  Then I taped it and kept playing it.



I do have to report that I am officially tired of hearing Pour Some Sugar on Me and will skip it if it comes up in the rotation.

They are the Miley Cyrus of rock.  I've never heard Mikey Cyrus, but if I did, I imagine that she would sound like Def Leppard.

Saw Styx.REO and DL  in 07.  REO was hi energy exciting and put on a great set and I'm not a fan of REO.  Styx was underwhelming and low energy put on a mediocre show then DL came on and ROCKED!!!!  They were fantastic. super high energy had agreat  background screen going and excellent light show to go with awesome vocals and wild guitars!   This was 9 years ago but if they are even half as good you should get a great show!

I would see them again.   I saw them in Denver in the late 80's.   When they came to town for the state fair years ago, they stayed where I work.  I fed the drummer lunch.

DL is one of the best bands ever to take stage.

I saw them in 1988 when they played in the round.  They were terrific, one of the best concerts ever.

I saw them on AXS TV on a performance recorded in 2013.  The guitarists and the drummer are just as good as they were 30 years ago, but Joe Elliott's voice is just about gone.  When he tries to hit those dynamic high notes his voice radically changes to be almost nasally.  I wondered if they were using autotune.  It was very distracting.

Kevin Cronin with REO has the same issue.  His voice has lost its power and it sounds like he is singing with a sinus infection.

I know people's capabilities change as they get older, but it would sound better if they re-did the songs so the singers could stay in the vocal range they can comfortably do.
