I love this band but they haven't done anything new in a long time and this song is just a song someone else originally did. They don't have the style they used to have. Really, the Adrenalize album was the last one they did that was a big.
@camuta240 2008 they released a new album with all new songs, and they are releasing 3 new studio songs with their live album coming out in May, and then they have another full new studio album coming in 2012. Songs from the Sparkle Lounge actually was their biggest album since Adrenalize. And while they weren't big their other albums sure were great, I love Slang, and Euphoria and X had some good stuff, Euphoria did great for them as well and Paper Sun is one of the best Leppard songs ever, imo
His voice was pretty much done by the mid 90's. All those years of screaming, without really taking care of it. Smoking & drinking didn't help either. Only studio wizardy can make it sound decent on records now.
@MrTommyUdo I agree. As awesome as he was, his voice is toast. Now, live, every song is tuned down so he doesn't have to sing as high. They just don't sound the same anymore. My favorite band ever...It's all unfortunate.
@lepfreak74 When you've spend your "job" basically screaming for a few decades, that's going to happen to the human voice. *You* are your instrument, and while Joe pushed his, he's also not bad for someone his age with his past (smoking, drinking) who is STILL singing rock. I'm fine with the songs in new keys because it's not a guitar, bass or drum... it's his body & there's only so far he can push it.
Well since Joe is of a huge discussion here, i'll chime in. First Joe's weight, Joe has had back problems since he was young and said years back that he was prescribed steroids for the pain, but he had no idea that they would make you ballon up, so that's y that happened! He got off them and had surgery! Now to his voice 30 years of screaming takes its toll and Joe smoked for years but finally quit! He can't hit the high notes like he use to, but after struggling his voice is much better now!
For me personally, I could give a crap about the band's appearance. It's about the music. Joe Elliot gave the music scene years of great singing, especially in his youth. He's already proven himself worthy to be in a band, so I'll give him some leeway if he isnt quite what he used to be. There's more to being a rock n roll singer than singing anyway. Mick Jagger and David Lee Roth are proof of that.
Joe has been hitting high pitch notes for more than thirty years. It cannot be expected that he will keep holding those high notes forever. As far as his weight goes, he has lost a few pounds recently. The last concert I went to was great! He actually sounds good on this one.
joe had an upper respitory infection. he wasn't suppose to sing at all for awhile but rather than dissapoint a whole lot of people he gave it his best shot. rock on lepps.
people really piss me off saying things about joe and his voice. obviously the sound man wasn't good and thats why cutting in and out. most intelligent people would know that. You can see as the video goes on the sound gets better. He's not porky either, he is healthy which is important!
I'm a HUGE fan since '83, but I gotta ask what everyone is thinking... what the hell is wrong with Joe Elliott's voice? He seems incapable of holding any kind of pitch steady at all.
14 MINUTES!! Is that all ?! and fer the comment about him being porky from "valeriecanez", I saw them in Dublin friday nite and he has lost the "pork" and looks sexy as ever..pitty hes married !!
ummmmmm.......What can i say...let me peel myself up off my floor and find that inhaler again cause i think i just lost my balance and breath after watching joe sing and move like that Whew!!
Well girl...NO I HADN"T SEEN THIS GIRL!...DAYAM!...wow..well you know how I feel about this song and how they play it right?...Watching JoeJoe like that...girl, I think i'm gonna develop athsma if I continue to watch them vids girl! Throw me one of those inhalers will ya? And and and while you're at it, a freaking drool rag!lol
2: Under NO circumstances do we stop watching Joe and/or DL vids,even if said drooling gets excessive
3: If puddle occurs, it just means that we are enjoying ourselves and therefore, is normal because it is Joe we are viewing with very distinctive pleasure!
LMAO...and I wrote this after a double shift!...lol
LMAO.... All i have to say to that is AMEN girlfriend..... Never eva will we stop watching Def Vids or Joe vids... I don't care if i am still living in 30 years i will and you will still adore them....
Oh yes we will....adore them till I croke!!! Even if I get old and gray and toothless....but then I won't be able to bite him...i will have to gum him...lmao
Not the best Def Lep song but..There is a lot on a backingtrack here, percussion , strings , drum loop.. and some guitars?..That is what everybody does,, (eh not AC/DC) Take a look (listen) for u def fans, a band: TXS they have done "unbelievable" ..
The drums are not fake - Rick plays a digital hybrid set and he's really playing. I know it's astonishing to think that he plays with one arm, but let's face it... he's the best one armed drummer in the world!
Love Def Leppard and its hard to better their earlier stuff but this is like a different band.... I cringed hearing this.absolutely terrible... Still alegendary band though
Def Leppard and Craig Ferguson on the same show... I'm in heaven! Actually, it's thanks to Def Leppard that I also became a fan of Craig Ferguson's as well. :)
These guys are so still hot! I'd would do them all! Esp. lost it when Sav did that hands to head thing he is famous for. He did it in the Pour some Sugar on Me video first. His trade mark I guess you could say? Love them ALL! Rock on guys!
it takes a classic rockin' band to even to try to sing "Rock On"....and Def pulled it off without a hitch....I think they are very sexy still!!!!!! Keep it going guys!!!
MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!
ROCK ON, YEAHHHH!
