Im a Leppard fan from way back when, but then i also use to hang out with them & get free tickets n passes. Them days are gone thanks to groupies , buts all good most men are more into that. LOL The guys will be back ontour in the US. I just got a ticket today for the Detroit show 2nd row. They are nuts asking $125 for a seat but people are buying them. What suxs is i just rejoined the fanclub to get the presales cuz they usually ROCK, but this yr they used TM & TM also kept 1 who section on the floor for auctions. Meaning the fanclub got crap unless they purchased the ALL ACCESS tickets for $375 each which u dont get till u get to the gate at the show & u dont know ur seat, its in the 1st 10 rows tho. I managed to get the 1 seat in the 2nd row that they didnt auction, its the end on the outter aisle, but thats good i can walk to the front stage & im on Phils side. YEAH. I love being on his side cuz i get alot of attention, If im on Vivs side he just makes silly faces at me cuz i was really Hot for him back in the day. LOL
Is anyone from detroit area going to the show, maybe we could meet up?!

1 of my favorites from highschool - never thought they were cute - just love the music - saw them last summer - His voice isn't as strong as it used to be - they need to turn the music down so you can hear him - the accoustic songs were the best. Either way, they still rock & I'll see them again if they come back down here

LOVED them in high school...been to see them many times, can't say I ever met them...I loved Joe Elliott. He had such a great sense of humor. The last time I saw them was at a state fair in WV. Wouldn't mind seeing them again, but I live in TX now. I hope you enjoy yourself - and get some good pictures to post!!

YEah they are gettin old, but i still love em. Granted i didnt like the remake cd. I love how they strut their stuff down the catwalk like they are Gary Allan n Keith Urban sexy. I even said to my friend that they are copying Keith wit the catwalk n stage, n she said Phil said Keith copied off them. YEAH OK! I hung out with Phil & Vivian much more, Joe n me butted heads alot near the late 90's, were both Leos. LOL I think its cuz the groupies were mad a normal fan got to become friends with them & i was on the guestlist with tickets n passes, & hangin out backstage n at the hotels & on the days off with them. I even would go to La to vacation & would see Vivian n hang with him . Theyre great guys when they werent trying to pick up groupies, thats why i stopped going to alot of shows n just hit the local 1 & 1 or 2 nearby. BUt for $140 they can Kiss my big fat dupa, i need that money so i can swim with the dolphins this summer. LOL
I plan to take pics, I have some KILLER pics from the last 2 tours, in cleveland. IM hoping to see Tesla in pitts front row too, the show is in feb so im preying NO SNOW.

OMG u havent seen them in 15 yrs?! They HAVE changed, got older, Joe gained weight , n they dont move as much onstage> BUT the show is still amazing if their sound guy isnt sleeping, & can not have feedback & to much guitar n drums so u cant hear joe.
I so use to love going to see them, would go weeks at times, but i was getting free tickets n passes, so it helped. LOL Now i just go to 1 local show n thats it cuz there are so many more bands i like to see , like Keith< Gary< Dierks.
You will have fun at the show. They have a catwalk n extended stage JUST like keith.

Yeah they are a lil goofy at times. BUt they are great live, thats not denying, if the sound tech can get his feed back crap together. LOL U just gotta make sure ur seat is infront of who u like tho now cuz they barely move from that spot. They use to be all over the place, now the old age is kicking in, I think Phil is like pushing almost social security< LOL No seriously i think hes in his 50s, but still, they gotta move around.
