That's a lot of venereal diseases for one stage

I will be attending if true.

If they add Warrant, Hanson and Styx to that bill, it can be declared a mobile Federal Disaster Area.

HappyHarryHardOn LOL

Boritom, I agree that Hanson falls into the "sucks" category, but Warrant and Styx are more unintentional camp, because of how seriously they take themselves.

Poison Leppard?

Oh no, I'm not making TWO stops!

Def Leppard.

Def Leppard are actually quite good instrumentally live. But Elliot's voice is simply shot.

 
MikeyistheDevil 2009-01-15 06:35:17 PM  
I've seen both in their day, and both put on a great show.

/in their day
//still not my cup o' tea

Poison puts on a good show.

 
TribeFan695 2009-01-15 06:49:54 PM  
I've always wondered if any of these glam bands looked at themselves in the mirror and thought "Wow, I look gay!"

 
Roto-Rot 2009-01-15 07:30:46 PM  
Joe Elliott looks like Steffi Graf now. Nothing about that is good.

Note to Def Leppard:

I got something to say. Yeah, its better to burn out than fade away. Alright?

Ow.

Wasn't it just last year that Def Leppard openly bashed all the other hair metal bands of the 80's, claiming that they were a totally different beast and that those bands were talentless?

Joe Elliott pointed fingers at Poison specifically. And then apparently realized that touring with Poison = $

/is going to enjoy this show

I saw Def Leppard when they had 10 arms in 1984.

oh yeah, I'll be there.

If somebody gave me backstage passes I'd go and drink as much beer as I could. I'd skip the performances though.

 
mrEdude 2009-01-15 09:38:05 PM  
If somebody gave ME passes
I'd sell them and go see some good bands

Poison/Britny Fox was my first concert.

Remember the 'Look What the Cat Dragged In' cover? Bret & Bobby were pretty hot chicks!

I used to have all kinds of butt-rock hair band posters all over my closet door...

...oh my god...

/i know how i know

I saw them on that tour. John Butcher, Krokus and Def Leppard.

any band that slaps three emg humbuckers into fenders automatically sucks

 
Tali 2009-01-16 08:03:08 AM  
I loved Poison back in the day, when I was like... 11.

Ah, hell, who am I kidding, I'll still go see it.

Really? Collen and Campbell don't play Fender.

glam rock and the rest of the crap from the 80s can DIAF

+10 subby

 
mreckner 2009-01-16 08:49:49 AM  
Yeah....I'll be there. Joe Elliott looks like he's been ridden hard and put away wet, but back in the day, there was no one hotter. Too bad I was waaaaaay jailbait back then.

Saw 'em in 1983, opening for Billy Squier.

I saw Poison and Ratt a couple years ago. It was one of the most laughable "concerts" i'd ever seen. What I remember of it, anyway.

(Picture of Phil Collen playing a Telecaster)

Interesting pic. Collen endorses Jackson and usually plays them.

However, I don't see 3 EMGs 'slapped on' that Tele . . .

Meh, I'll wait til May when Candlebox is going to play at a free show downtown

Saw that mess in Phoenix. I really wish I hadn't gone. It was really that bad.

 
Ninetynine 2009-01-16 01:41:05 PM  
I can understand why people will always make fun of the 80's hair bands. They made an image for themselves that you just can't take seriously... ever.

But I would still go see this show, drink a few beers and shake my fist to all their songs. I've been to a few of these package concerts and they're always a lot of fun.

 
angrygrizzly 2009-01-16 07:57:18 PM  
For all the whining about hair bands, I'd still rather see Def Leppard than just about any band from the 90's and 90% of the bands from the 21st century.

The bands from the 90's are all too depressing and most of today's bands can't play live.

Elliot's voice isn't near what it used to be, but it's passable. Allen, Campbell, Collen and Savage can all still seriously play.

Poison? Meh. But here's something to remember. The last time Def Leppard toured with Journey, they grossed 35 million dollars.

Nice turnout for supposed has-beens.

 
RockofAges 2009-01-16 09:54:20 PM

I would honestly rather listen to the squeals of pigs being slaughtered than hear Pour Some Sugar On Me.

Add Bon Jovi and you've got a trifecta of 80's shiat.

Was hoping for mention of the train wreck that is "Rock of Love".
