DP for Rockers

Donnington 2009 will be a place for these rock bands to prove that they are still alive and well. Can’t wait for it (I mean the bootleg, hehehehe…)

Cheers!

I really don’t know what’s in your head when you said Def Leppard was a crap! Maybe their music isn’t your cup of tea, but to be OBJECTIVE (I’m a huge Def Leppard fans, also Whitesnake - of course in their early days) you really goin’ wrong. Who’s the real loser (CRAP is really negative hurting label!) between the two, let’s see :

1. One thing you have to remember is : DEF LEPPARD NOW IS DEF LEPPARD THEN while WHITESNAKE NOW IS NOT WHITESNAKE THEN EXCEPT THE COMMANDER!
Viv Campbell came because Clark was death, and the most extraordinary fact is they keep Rick Allen instead of the fact that he’s lost one of his hand by accident. What else could be dramatically amazing than this kind of friendship, can you tell me?
In the other hand, Whitesnake was one of the band which has the most frequent personal changes I’ve ever known. Count it. I really had no idea why he fired Micky Moody after 5 years together. And very strange how he fired all 1987’s personal after the release (Vandenberg was on session job) as 1987 was one of the greatest rock album. At that time 1987, Def Leppard was still carry on with one handed Rick Allen.

2. Donnington 1990 - That’s the end of an era for Mr. Coverdale and Whitesnake as big star. If you saw the concert, it’s where Coverdale had his worst day ever, his vocal so so horrible, sick, and strained. So what Donnington’s 09 gonna be?

3.If you went to one or more of the Def Leppard - Whitesnake England tour (billed as the best collaboration tour of 2008 in UK!!), you even would realized the reason and the facts why Whitesnake go as opener and Def Leppard as the closer act!! Coverdale lost his voice as many said, while Def Leppard gave an energic performance. Remember, Whitesnake and Def Leppard started together at 1978.

Some might said Def Leppard music were overproduced and the lyrics was somehow bored. But they still survive with original members, the musicianship as well as the friendship still there to be admired, selling tickets all over the world especially America where hard rock became falling down these days. So why they are crap?? You need to learn the facts before posting something like this one

I also agree it’s a good pairing, much better than w/Motley.
Both WS and Lep have decent albums out after too long out of the game, they should be more respected for their efforts.(but David is definitely hurting on stage, sadly)

Even Purple has swapped headlining on there tours. Hence the Bananas Tour whereby they would share the bill with Lynyrd Skynrd and trade off various nights as Headliners depending on their venue.

Yes, it’s all about the food chain and who is at the top at the time. Nothing new. But, many times it is the fault of the Band and their actions and decisions along the way that puts them in those positions….

Leppard and Whitesnake together is good bill in my opinion. Plus, Vivian Campbell was once in Whitesnake, so why not? Plus, there new Album is actually pretty good and does go back to and is reminiscent of the Pyromania days.

Snakes and Leppards. It’s a Zoo out there……

Cheers

Stoffer takes the cake once again with the briefest yet most effective summery.

Cheers to that, it really needs no wheel spinning.

Post of the year so far!

Def Leppard belong to the best era which is the NWOBHM,from England: I thank very much England for having gift to the people this kind of music,the real rock that give me good vibration and satisfaction since I was teen ager..now I am 40 and I love these all bands always.

After DP,BS,LZ a lot of bands were born in England,the most known IRON M.,SaXoN,Thin Lizzy (they were from Ireland but they started their dproduction in England..),Judas P…and of course Def Lepp.

What are you saying Roberto? I don’t agree..

as for paul rodgers one of the top 3 best singers of the story…

in my country deaf leppard and paul rodgers for example are surely not so big…

It’s obviously not about who’s better, since when has it been, when the touring industry is led by a bunch of pencil neck dweebs who have no idea whats really entertaining? It’s about who’s ‘bigger…’ always has been, always will be.(since when is bigger ever really better? pretty rare isn’t it?) Take comfort he’s even interested in existing, considering those stakes.
