I never get sick of any of their songs, especially Hysteria and the demo version of Stand Up.

MANOWAR KILLS , me too.

I sang Photograph and a couple other songs in my old cover band. Still a big fan of DL. Always will be!

It's gone straight to your heyeaad ! I don't want ya I don't need ya ! Wishy washy love songs by Leopard making you wish you were deaf !!!

I thought I was the only one who did that. I rotate and in a years time every song gets played.

Thanks so much dear you're indeed a wonderful fan

Love that he gives a mention of Marc Bolan.

KS K In the tiny town I grew up in, I was one of about three T-Rex fans. My friend used to let me sneak their albums in other artist's sleeves to get them past my profoundly uptight parents. I would do the same with Bowie. I'd take them into my bedroom, put on the headphones and be transported to another world/planet. We were devastated when he was killed. Most kids at school were familiar with "Bang a Gong". They'd no clue what they were missing. I still collect Marc Bolan memorabilia a bit. He was taken way too soon. My group of friends and I didn't listen to what our other friends listened to. Still pretty much that way. Best to ya!

Ikr.

I'm glad I got to see them in the 80's too! And continue to go to their concerts.

Thanks so much dear

David Easter I’ve seen Def Leppard and even Journey 8 Times so far 😀

Wow! Could you take me with you next time?

Thanks so much Sharon 💕

Thanks so much dear you're indeed a great fan 💞💕

Thanks for the sweet and beautiful comments on my post dear

Eva Summerville THIS is why I love to see Def Leppard perform. Every time, seeing them live, makes me literally feel 25 again! They are the fountain of youth

We love you too dear

@@joeelliott2913 I saw you all 2016 and 2018 you all still rock just as much as when I first became a fan back in 1987.

Andres Escobar I only took Spanish in high school 40 years ago, but your love for this awesome band came through to me in your comment, and I understood perfectly! ❤️

Thanks dear

@@joeelliott2913 Life is better with music. 🎤🎸🎵🥁

Gina! I want to use this medium to appreciate your lovely and wonderful comments and I hope you love your sweet comments dear

I really appreciate your lovely and wonderful comments on my post and feel happy to have a dedicated fan 💕💕

Thanks so much Evelyn you're indeed a wonderful fan okay 💕

@@joeelliott2913 I am not Evelyn, though Evelyn is my friend. I often see her posts on social media-she’s a LeppFan of many years, like me-and I knew she would see my message because she always comments on LeppPosts. I am Betty, the lady who did all the meet and greets and shows at Viva! Hysteria 2013. My username, MM 27, is actually a very obscure reference to The Walking Dead franchise. The $25 Million Dollar Question is, though, are you REALLY THE “JOE ELLIOTT” OF DEF LEPPARD, or do you share the name, or do you just use it for your KZfaq username for kicks and giggles? Curious. It’s 2 am and I feel like I’m slippin into The Twilight Zone.

@@bettygreenhansen wow! Thanks so much dear you can send me your email so we could chat more okay ♥️

Gayla Smith As a Def Leppard fan who has quite a few mngs under her belt, and a woman of your same age, I am truly sorry that your meet and greet was less than you deserved. I have had absolutely wonderful and also downright horrible mng experiences. I agree with you that Rick is so welcoming to the fans. I have always found Phil to be very friendly too. If this helps, I have done a few single Rick Allen meet and greets and they are always everything you could hope for. I believe Rick offers his mngs through his charity Ravendrum on most tours. Where I was very sorely disappointed is this year there was no way on earth I could wrap my head around spending $2K on a single Joe Elliott mng this year, even though that has been an unfulfilled dream of mine for many, many years! It’s gonna kill me to be in the North Forty at Orlando, but $130 for two tickets was the best I could do. Usually I don’t settle for less than the “sweat zone” but that was made impossible this time with the outrageous ticket prices they are demanding. I just want to go on record as stating that Def Leppard is pricing themselves out of reach of their average fan who loves and respects them just as much as the well-monied. In 2013 Def Leppard asked $350 for an mng add-on, with a seat that cost me about $400 = $750 for a great seat and mng. On the current tour that privilege is $1250. Our income has not increased that significantly, if at all, and with inflation our dollars buy less. I think the promoters are doing these bands a disservice by jacking seat prices sky high, but God bless ‘em they are selling them. My bottom line, I will scrimp and save and someday I will have the cash to drop, so I’m glad Joe is never gonna retire, and I hope he will have a such a wonderful time this year doing his mngs, he will keep on doing them for many tours to come. Smaller venues please. And JUST Poison is fine! I wish the very best for Def Leppard. Keep the albums coming! Rock on!!! 🤘🏻✌🏻🤟🏻

@@bettygreenhansen I agree that there is greed afoot somewhere. Probably in management or the promoters. I was irked that the "Meet and Greet" we were promised and what we got were miles apart. I actually went solo to celebrate my birthday. The venue was small enough. I cannot possibly do large venues. Long story. I was able to spend some time with Rick Allen and was invited to another exhibit all expenses paid later in the year. I was speechless that he actually remembered me. He introduced me to his lovely wife, Lauren Monroe. I have kept in touch with the gallery and get invites from time to time. Rick Allen is incredibly accessible when it comes to his fans and admirers. I think he and his wife are two of the kindest people on the planet. When he recognised me after four months, I couldn't believe it. He is completely down to earth and humble. I won't be paying the outrageous ticket price to see the "circus" when it comes to the city close to me. And I will never do a meet and greet again. I never even got my photo with the band as my cell phone was nicked and I lost the link. I've quite a few photos with Rick Allen though. And four pieces of his artwork. Hope they DO keep on rocking! Most of my favourites from the '60's and '70's are mostly gone. I have a sister 7 years my elder. I'm not ancient. My formative years were the '70's and I was out on my own working in the '80's. The MTV generation. Back when they played music videos. I remember the first time I saw "Photograph". I was riveted to the telly. I can still remember everything Joe Elliot was wearing...My pay was docked for showing up late, but like any rocker worth her salt, I didn't give a toss! Still love all things Union Jack. Three of the four pieces of artwork I purchased by Rick Allen have the Union Jack incorporated in them. The fourth is photos of him through the decades. My estranged husband is extremely jealous. I live in a separate part of the house, so he can get over himself. Me, my wee dog, Rick Allen's artwork and a Bose sound system. Life is good! You take care and Rock On, as well! Also hope that you get to have a good talk with Joe Elliott someday, MM27.

Thanks for being a long time dedicated fan of my music and feel free to send down an email let's chat more okay ♥️💕

RIGHT! I totally thought the same thing.. Joe's voice and ability is right with the greats.. it's one of the main reasons you don't hear Def Leppard being covered by cover bands with male singers

@@txtamaman you made a very good point! I never realized it until I read your comment! You're right, nobody can even come close to trying to sound like him!

Thanks for all your lovely and wonderful comments I will like you to keep up the great support.

@@joeelliott2913 you’re the best!

Thanks so much dear

Thanks so much Lisa Walter

Thanks dear♥️♥️

Catherine Dredge NO! It’s bugging me, too! 😂👍🏼

It's his hair, though it looked quite nice on him either really short or really long. This style is just not befitting his lovely face at all. You'd think that he could figure that one out...

I think if he could feather the layers back it would look nicer and not so much as a mom's bob

Thanks so much I love you all 💕💕💕

Laura! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments and compliment you have more than a million fans.
