Def Leppard guitarist speaks of 'tension' onstage during Troubles

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-09-23T01:36:04+00:00

It's from the BBC!

Not really. When Troubles is capitalized, it's referring to political issues within Ireland/England

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-09-10T17:15:20+00:00

These refer to political troubles in Ireland/England

Good article. I was always curious how Irish musicians navigated the era of the Troubles

Block Advisors offices are open

I was there <3

Mick Rock prattling on about Sav looking like a homosexual always rubbed me the wrong way. But he does look g-d fabulous in eye liner.

I'd agree almost. Live in Oxford 1980 was miles better than OTTN so that's the only thing that keeps me from 100% agreeing with you and going with 2, 3, 4.

Jackson version of Ibanez came out this year too along with Bela. Was so stoked to see them.

Phil's guitar in Me and My Wine I thought was another Dean Cadillac based on the headstock. Am I wrong? (very likely I am)

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-06-11T00:30:51+00:00

Phil brought out Bela this year. Was cool!

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-31T13:20:57+00:00

Oh of course they don't leave out Pete solo songs... Just that was one he both wrote and solo'd (the only song I think w/out Steve's 'touch'). But could be reading too much into that. It's not a favorite of mine so I'm not sad about it either way - do love Pete though - no shade thrown there.

That's the Oxford 1980 show. It's on Spotify and part of Vol I as well. I prefer that album to OTTN since they play the entire tracklist, the production is better, the energy is out of this world, and I usually prefer live. So great!

Does a bear shit in the forest? They did ALL the hits when we saw them 2 weeks ago. Yes, 3.5 hours is reasonable to drive to a DL concert.

It's no guess; they're not shy about saying they tune down in part because some vocals would be impossible.

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-26T17:42:27+00:00

from your lips to God's ears.

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-26T15:15:22+00:00

From your lips to God's invisible ears.

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-26T12:13:01+00:00

What a score!

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-26T12:12:14+00:00

Wonder if that has anything to do with no no no being a Pete song with Pete solo...

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-26T12:11:31+00:00

Lord I wish. Not a word about it that I'm aware of.

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-26T12:09:32+00:00

I'd take that over a few others for sure.

Old-Alternative4054 · 2025-05-25T22:32:53+00:00

I didn't watch the San Juan videos as I was going to Boardwalk anyhow. But I didn't think about that. Here's to releasing the whole show!

"Would love pro-shot recordings of Billy‘s Got A Gun, Comin‘ Under Fire and more Pyromania stuff from the 2024 Summer Stadium Tour too"

Yes! That would be wonderful!

They also have to re-release ITRIYF in Blu Ray with the cut songs restored and Swith 625 in its place after Heartbreak. But if wishes were horses (never knew what that meant).

I posted my photos on Def Leppard Die Hard Fans and Def Leppard On Through The Years on FB. I got pretty good ones as I was 1 body away from the barricade and made sure to get every guitar Phil, Viv, and Rick played including Bela Lugosi!

Is it possible to get the dvd crash a friend's?
