Is anyone else going to see Def Leppard on tour this summer?

[Maddy McCall]

Or are my son and me the only 80s music nerds on DU going to see them?

1. I love Def Leppard, but I haven't heard anything about them coming here

specifically.

I'd consider it if they did. I used to have an enormous crush on Joe Elliot twenty years ago.

7. Check out ticketmaster...they're on tour.

I loved elliot too. :loveya:

2. 1st concert I ever saw. It was the hysteria tour. It was awesome for a

5th grader.

[Maddy McCall]

8. My son's going into the sixth grade.

I hope the light show was as great as it was 20 years ago. :D

3. "Pour Some Sugar On Me!"

I'd think about going. I'm not sure if their tour is bringing them near me. My guess is that they would put on a hell of a good show. I always liked Lep Deffelin.

9. Should be a good show.

We're seeing it at UNO, New Orleans.

4. lol

I have a professor who is a total metal head...which is very strange because in all other respects he is a complete tight ass. So on every occasion we razz him about his Def Leppard listening mullet wearing past. 80's metal is so much fun! :P

[Maddy McCall]

10. Yeah, I loved mullet guys in the eighties. LOL

Must have dated every mullet rocker in Mississippi and Louisiana. :D

[Cooley Hurd]

5. I would, but my taste prevents me...

...damn, my good taste!:D ;)

[Maddy McCall]

11. Your loss.

It's going to be fun! :D :hi:

6. If they had remained a hard rock band I may have.

But they slowly devolved into a weak, sappy ballad band since "Pyromania".

[Maddy McCall]

13. Yeah, but I don't think my kid's ready for a true...

hard ass metal band. Although I would take him to see Accept if they were still together. :D

[Wapsie B]

12. I'd love to see them.

One of my favorite groups!

:thumbsup:

[Maddy McCall]

14. Tickets have almost sold out at UNO, and it has 10,000 seats.

Can't wait! Wish you lived nearby, and we'd go together. (I still have my 80s parachute pants!) :D

[Wapsie B]

15. Yes that would be a blast!

I've still got some silk shirts that were fashionable back then.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Remember paisley?

EVERYTHING was paisley. I even had some black and white paisley jeans. LOL!

[Wapsie B]

17. Yes I do,

My shirts were a blue-ish paisley. Oh those were the days! LOL!
I could never bring myself to get a paisley tie though. But I did have a leisure suit. :rofl:

18. I'd love to but can't afford concerts this summer.

Money is too tight right now.
