Hysteriaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I used to fucking LOVE the Hysteria record. I played that thing over and over for months, it started to sound really abused. This was around '90 when it had already been out for a few years!

I would loved to have seen them play during the Steve Clark era but not now. They haven't aged too well, or my taste has changed too much....

Was a huge fan and travelled all over to see both these bands but saw both a couple of years ago and was sorely disappointed. Surely these guys must have enough in their pension funds to give up and stop being their own best tribute bands.

Def Lepp and Whitesnake

Just wanted to say, after reading a few negative comments, that I have seen both of these bands in the past and they didn't dissappoint. These guys started it all, are legends, and can put your modern 'emo' bands to shame. You ask your 'pop rock' idols who their idols were, and you may be surprised. I cannot wait to see them - my two favourite blokes in one night!!

Da Leps

Gone right off Def Leppard since the 'X' album. Last time I saw them at Wembley Arena for i think the X album i was well dissappointed. Hysteria was and still is class though, but touring with Whitesnake ?, will there be enough hairspray to go around !!!

Def Leps, Whitesnake + Eutopia would totally ROCK!!

Eutopia should have been there to support them. They would have fitted in so nicely. If you havent heard them already check out eutopiamusic.eu. Im going to try to be there on the 26th! I love those bands so much!!

Yeah Eutopia would be great in the line up! :)

Ive seen Eutopia live and Kate I agree with you. Alexander Kotziamanis is a great singer with killer guitar licks to boot. Lets hope that some day soon the boys get what they deserve. cant make the 26th :( but bet the gig will be awesome.

Black stone cherry SUCK!!!

Black stone cherry are just GRUNGE!!! its passe and not only that....that era destroyed leppard and white snake and the bands we all love! -why are we all forgetting this?@?!@?!?! Im also in agreement upon hearing 'Eutopia' they would have been far more suitable and not only that - they are brits also. Have just bought their single 'Valentine' today on itunes - very impressive! and id recommend it to any true hard rock fan.

re: black stone cherry suck!

They DO SUCK!!! and yes you are right - they ARE the style of music that killed great music........def leppard even did that rubbish 'slang' record to keep up with the dirge around 1994-96 etc. Will go and check out eutopia today. Keep melodic rock exactly that....ROCK WITH MELODY!!!

Def leppard, Whitesnake and Eutopia :)

Id love to see Eutopia succeed and play with those bands too! I used to go out with Alexander's cousin some years ago (thats the singer/guitar of Eutopia) and I seem to remember he completely loved those bands. I also agree upon hearing that awful stoned cheerry (whatever!) mob they are soooo sh.t! (you fill in the space!)

First Night Of Tour

Caught them all live at Glasgow SECC last night. Dave Coverdale was his most excellent self giving a great performance and the Lepps were just magical.
These guys are still play as they have more talent in their little fingers than most of the bands around today.

Second night of tour

I was at the NEC last night - the Lepps were on last and ROCKED the house!! BSC opened and were LOUD!! but Mr Snake and his serpants were stuck right there in the middle and BLEW us away. The Rt.Hon Mr Snake still knows how to 'HANDLE' a microphone stand and how to whip up the crowd. He is still mean and lean at 52 (?) and if you are still waiting for your turn, you have a feast in store - the big boys will not disappoint you.
"ARE YOU READY!!" "ERE'S A SONG FOR YA"
ROCK ON D.C. - We girlies luv ya!
