re: Anyone seen Def Leppard, poison, motley, etc tour this year?

Saw it this week - it was great overall. Missed Joan Jett. Out of all the band members, only Vince Neil is a fat arse not taking it seriously. Poison and Def Leppard are just consummate professionals - in shape, taking care of themselves and taking putting on a good show seriously.

Poison's setlist was a little lacking - they didn't play any of the ballads outside of Thorn and they wasted time with those solos. Still, Talk Dirty was a real highlight overall.

I thought Mick Mars was the best part of Crue - despite the fact that he's 71 and looks like death (that fricker was old even in their heyday).

Joe Elliott has maybe lost a slight bit, but it's made up for by the overall stunning level of vocal talent in the band. They sounded great and they played almost everything you'd want them to.

Overall, a great way to end the summer and the crowds really were just there having a good time. No menace in the air at all - just Nothing' But a Good Time. All of these guys have the last laugh after all the shite that's been heaped on them over the years. It's 2022, and they're playing to 50K people a night. frick THE HATERS
