I saw them back in 89 or so.... I'm not ashamed to say, They Still Rock! (although some have tried to make me ashamed to say it, but f**k 'em!) ;)

They're going to be touring in Australia in November*, do you intend to go? ;)

I don't think I can justify a trip to Australia solely on the grounds of seeing Def Leppard, but if I was there for some other reason -- business OR pleasure -- I would certainly consider it.

I saw them in Auckland in 1992, and it was great!

I think just about every song on 'Hysteria' is amazing (apart from 'Love Bites' which is fucking gross). I love how their songs are made up entirely of hooks. "Oh here's a great big hook, oh my god, there's another one, oh fuck, and another one!" It's almost too much. 'Photograph' is a cool song too.

Ditto on Kiran's "Hysteria" comment (especially about "Love Bites" - yuck, I feel sick thinking about that song). There's just something magical about that album.

There is also something magical about seeing a middle-aged man rocking out avec paunch, but that's a different kind of magic...

They're coming in July and I'm SO going.
