| Hi guy's, yet again another blinding performance in a marathon weekend (for me,anyway!). Empire photo's from the 17th are now up on the gallery, and the cd should be with you by now. What did you think of the Voodoo one's ? ou'll have to make a special cd of all the pix of Viv for him as a keepsake to look back on. All the best for the future Viv, whatever path you may go down |
 |
|
| Cheers Colin, and
thanks for all the pics, we've just got the cd today, so we'll sort
them out and get them up here real soon, they're ace buddy! |

Hi Guys - Having missed your last gig in September 06 I made sure I would be here for this one and I was not disappointed, what a night. I enjoyed every second what impressed me most was - you got
involved with the crowd, (asking the bride to be about her wedding
etc) you are all down to earth and great fun as well. And when a request was shouted up - you played it there and
then, not too many bands would do that. Anyway Thanks for Visiting us- I am glad you like to come here, and I look forward to your next trip to Belfast.
Take Care
Martina
Ps - Joe - I was wondering where are you from, as I was trying to figure out your
accent. |
 |
|
| Thanks so much for
your comments, we're glad you enjoyed the show as for the request if
we know it we'll generally play it as long as it's shouted out early
enough in the set, we were pushed for time towards the end and so
couldn't do all the requests being shouted out unfortunately. As for
my accent, I've been told rather than a Sheffield one I am more of a
Cockney Australian!! Not the effect I was after, but there you go -
I'm from Staffordshire..... |

Friday Night in the Voodoo was, without a doubt the best night's out in the last six months. My first time to a def leppard tribute band after loving them for the last 16 years and it was incredible. You guys really have it down. The Belfast crew were great as well and it wouldnt have been as good if ye wer'nt there.
I cant wait to see ye again and i'm making sure I go to the Empire next time, the set looked great. Oh ya, if ye manage to throw in Me and my wine and Run Riot next time, that would be savage :)
Thanks for the night and hopefully you'll come back to see us again in Dublin soon.
Thanks, Rob |
 |
|
| Cheers dude, we're
glad you enjoyed it after all. We'll see what we can do about a
return trip to Dublin in the future...... |

 |
|
| Thank you as I said
earlier, it was the best send off I could have wanted and I'm going
to miss it next time the lads come over to you, but I know Alex will
do a great job as the new Viv and you'll make him feel at ease I'm
sure. All the best and thanks for everything. |

people)... sound was excellent and you guys were on top form as usual....Now onto the Empire....WOWWWWWWWW what a
night, blow up dolls, topless Drummer, viv in a Lizzy t shirt, Phil doin all the
'rockstar' poses, Mutt singing his heart out, Sav lookin as sexy as ever and Joe well you were
fantastic, only one thing i missed about you and that was the handy work i did on your jeans over the past year and you didnt wear them here :(..and what about those leopardskin boxers??(another story eh?)what a turn on it was lookin into your sexy eyes while you were singing my FAV
song stand up) to me, cold shower time...lol.now the depression has set in cos its goin to be a long boring summer till you guys next come back to Belfast...you guys are defo the best trib band and i'm counting down the weeks until i get my next fix....

Was at the gig in the Empire and can only say that DtL were amazing. Absolutely loved the Rock Brigade/Wasted medley & Stand Up ... as they are songs that DL themselves very rarely play live & haven't in a very long time. Playing Vintage songs like those is a real treat for Old Timer DL fans - So THANKS !!!!!!
Looking forward to DtL's next gig in Belfast already!!!!! |
 |
|
| Cheers Barry, it
was another great night at The Empire and a great send off for me,
I'm going to miss nights like that |

| Sorry to annoy yes again, my comment got deleted with that problem. What I said was, Def Leppard always do something specail when they come to Ireland (this is where the record everyhting and almost all of them have lived
afterall) So is there any chance of hearing the set ye played at Moses Gate, Bolton. It really had everything you'd ever want to hear.......and Run Riot ;) |
 |
|
| Sorry about losing
your message. We're planning something special for Dublin and
Belfast to mark the occasion. We'll probably end up doing most of
what we did in Bolton I guess....anything in particular you wouldn't
want us to miss - apart from Run Riot, sorry they won't let me do
that one!! |

| Hey, I'm going to see you play in Dublin and
I'm gettin loads to go as well, cant wait. any chance you would play
'Personal Property' and 'Run Riot'. that would make the night. Cheers |
 |
|
| That's great news
Rob (Mark 2) It's our first time in Dublin and we're hoping there's
a good crowd in for it, so nice to know you'll be bringing a few!!
As for your requests, I'll put them to the rest of the band, but we
generally like to play it safe at least for the first gig at a
venue - Phil's been on at us for ages to put 'Run Riot' into a
set as well..... |

| J.B.s Dudley 1st time for me but it wont be the last you were very good esp ""Joe"" ""Rock Brigade"" and ""Wasted"" made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Well done lads! Put in ""Foolin"", have an intro and start with a more aggressive track like ""Rock Rock (Till You Drop)"" and how about the famous sing-a-long with the crowd during ""Rock Of Ages"" What do you think? By the way I've seen Def Leppard over sixty times since the age of thirteen, I'm now a young looking forty! and got every record they've ever done including the first E.P. on the Red label fully signed except ""Frank Noon"" inc a letter off Joe from 1979.Thanks for a great night out and I look forward to seeing you again soon |
 |
|
| Hi Ahamed thanks
for the comments, we're glad you enjoyed the show. JB's is a case of
so many songs and so little time, we generally do put
"Foolin'" in the show and we have been known to start the
show with "Rock till you drop" we just like to change
things up a little every now and again, and you just can't do
everything in the hour they give us - we ended up playing for nearly
90 minutes as it was! We'll definitely put them both in the next
time you come to see us... |

| But he based all
his future decisions on the advice you gave him, don't tell him you
weren't listening!!! We're definitely doing Friday and Saturday, not
sure about Sunday yet, I guess we'll find out when we get there,
depending on demand for it - we might have to do it to pay off our

Hi Guys
Saw you last night at JBs - fantastic gig! Always a mark of a quality band when you give your 100% even with a
disappointing turnout. Was my first time of seeing you. Not going to
exaggerate and say you were as good as the real thing but you are as pretty damn close as anyone will get! Absolutely rock solid harmonies! 'Joe' is one of the most charismatic lead vocalists on the tribute circuit. Hope to see you around again soon.
Steve |
 |
|
| Thank you very
much, it was a bit disappointing on the turn-out, but I think
everyone there had a good time (well, I hope so...) and we're hoping
to be back there soon, so hopefully we can up the numbers a bit -
appreciate the comments though, cheers. |
