    	I've never even heard a Deaf Leopard record, all i knmow is
    that the drummer only has one arm ..... must make for interesting
    rhythems.
    
    
    	Grub.....

    I saw DEF LEPPARD this summer at Greatwoods (Mansfield, MA U.S.A.).
    It was a completely incredible show.  I have more respect for Rick
    Allen (the one armed bandit) than just about anyone in the Music
    business.  In fact, he wanted one of the tour shirts to have only
    one sleve, the other being sewn up!  But the promoter didn't think
    that would be such a great idea.
    
    As far as their music goes, almost all of it I love.  There are
    a couple of songs that I skip through on Hystaria, but all in all
    it's a great album.  I think Pyromania was the first rock album
    that I ever bought, and I just kept going from there.
    
    I have tickets to see them again at the Centrum in Worcester, MA.
    Unlike the greatwoods show (an open theater) the centrum show will
    be a center stage concert.  It should be incredible!!!!  Hope to
    see all of you Lep-heads there!!

    re .2
    
    Unfortunately DEC dont pay me enough to take a trip over the pond,
    so I will have to settle for a review from someone who goes to it.
    By the way when exactly is it ?
    
    	I have however managed to see them before, I saw them at the
    Newcastle City Hall (Newcastle England), Its a fairly small venue
    so you can actually see the whole show. It was excellent and can't
    wait until they are back over here. The set was most of the Hysteria
    stuff with a good proportion of the older work.
    
    	Also does anyone know why most people I talk to think that they
    are an American band, when they wear Union flag T shirts etc and
    hail from the English town of Sheffield ?
    
    	If anyone that is going to the concert in America would be prepared
    to get me an enamel badge and T shirt (Im paying obviously) could
    they mail me (JANUS::BHARRISON) or phone me ( DTN 830 3747 ),  to
    make some arrangements. Thanks in advance.

    re .3
    
    When you say that most people that you talk to think that Def Leppard
    are an American band do you mean people you talk to in England or
    people you correspond with through the notes file?  I for one happen
    to be an American and have always known they are an English band
    (you can tell by their bloody accents, heh heh).  I am a huge Lep
    fan and have been for 6 years.  Most people I talk to over here
    realize that they are English unless of course they have had their
    head stuck in the sand all their life.  BTW, I've seen the Leps
    5 times--so far......  Each show was probably better than the last.
    So anyway, anybody that is REALLY a Def Leppard fan knows they are
    from England, and anybody that doesn't isn't really fan, so forget
    about 'em.  Now, did YOU know that they are not ALL from Sheffield?
    Phil Collen is not.  Look it up.  Where exactly are you at in England?
    Just curious.

    Yep I did know that not all were from Sheffield, Phil joined the
    band from one called Girl after they saked their original guitarist
    Pete (his surname escapes me for now).
    The people I was refering to, were English. It was just the impression
    I got from asking around about the band.
    
    I am resident in Reading, 40 miles west of London. But I originate
    from Stockton - on Tees, 250 miles north of London. (I travel past
    Sheffield on the way back home).

    re: .5
    
    The surname you were looking for is Willis.  I am surprised to hear
    that a lot of English people don't realize Def Leppard are from
    England.  You would think so wouldn't you?  Must be interesting
    to drive past their home town and maybe wonder if they could be
    taking a break from recording to visit family or something.  Someday
    I would like to visit England and possibly Holland to see Wisseloord
    Studios.  Say, had you heard that all day this Wednesday MTV is
    supposed to be premiering Def Leppard's newest video "Rocket"? 
    I am assuming you get eMpTyV there (do you?)  Like to hear your
    comments if you happen to see it.

    Hi, �Rock Brigader� When I got home last night, I rushed to my CD's
    of DEF LEP and looked for the name, it was bugging me.
    
    I noticed that you were in the heavy metal notes conference, I've
    replied to you there, OK ?
    
    No we don't get MTV here (well you do if you have cable TV, but
    only a very small proportion of people have it here), so I won't
    get to see it. Tell me how it goes, OK ?
    
    See ya - Brynn
    
    

     just heard on the radio that Steve Clarke has died - probably of the
    usual (choking on vomit after overdoing drugs or alcohol). What a
    waste.
    
    

    This may sound stupid but....
    
    who's Steve Clark??

    Well if you raise your eyes a bit you might deduce that he was in
    Def Leppard :-)   He was one of the two guitarists. 

    Excuse the bad taste, but I reckon it's a publicity scam.  Ian Curtis
    did it. ;-)
    
    matty

Sick joke, but have you ever tried dusting vomit for fingerprints?

    Going for a record on `biggest-gap-between-consecutive-notes' here, but
    what did he die of? I have little interest in this band, but my missus
    has a couple of their albums, and I was reading the sleeve notes
    on `Adrenalize' the other night. It mentioned the rest of the band
    watching one of their own wasting away before their eyes. What was all
    that about?
    
    Phil Gill.

    I think it was drug and alcohol related.

    I thought I'd revive this topic for a bit.
    
    Def Leppards last Album release was called retroactive. It contained
    mainly tracks that were available as 'additional tracks' on the singles
    from Adrenalize. A couple of these were on the album twice as different
    mixes. OK methinks, they may get away with it. Then they go and release
    tracks off the 'new' album as singles. So far Two steps behind and
    a cover of Sweets Action have been released, but I already have them on
    the CD singles make love like a man and have you ever needed someone so
    bad. Is this one hell of a rip off or what ?
    
    
    Rich.

    Well its over two years now since this note was last added to.
    
    I was wondering if there were any Lep fans out there that know anything
    about the upcoming concerts in England.
    
    I have seen a few confirmed dates, ie. for Wembley, Sheffield e.t.c
    
    I have also seen some unconfirmed dates. ie Bournemouth 30 Nov 96
    
    Has anyone else heard anything.
    
    Thinking of going to Wembley, but Bournemouth is closer to home and a 
    damned site easier to get to!!
    
    Grateful for any info
