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......

I could go on all night guys, but i wont....Thanx for giving us a great weekend....hope it was worth all your travelling! See you next time....And a special mention for Viv...the t shirt was the biz mate, good luck with whatever you do in the future.....Thanx a million guys
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.

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

Set list request
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!!

not long now guys.....maybe you could bring some good weather with you too? xx
Can't promise anything on the weather I'm afraid, suggest you just get drunk enough to not notice!

 

Our sincere apologies to anyone who has left a message for the band in February. Unfortunately, we have had a server change and this has lost a lot of info we had. Please get back in touch with us, we love to hear from you.....DtL

Set list request
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.....

Gig Review
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...

To be honest i didn't really listen to him, sounded too confusin for my little brain!!!! Will let you know if i find the pennies x
......me again, are you doig fri and sat night sets and sunday afternoon???
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 bar bill!

We're getting the numbers up rightly for the belfast gig, good PR ya see......There will alsp be a few different faces in our company too...
You're a good un to us. Let's hope it's a sell-out before we even get there this time. I know we were looking at quite a few tickets sold last week and that was before the PR went out.

Will look into trying to get over in April to guernsey, but got to see if my cr**py job will let me have time off an if i can find enough pennies to pay the ferry, if not might have to go as a stow away in the van with the drums!!!!!
There'll be plenty of room in the bass drum.....we'll shove Rick in it!!! And we promise there will be no relationship dramas with Viv this time!!

It's been a long time since i've seen you play and as always never fail to put on an amazing show! Sorry viv has to leave was just starting to get used to different members! Good luck in what he does. I'll try and not leave it so long till i see you all again if its not too far as you can't get to brum! Love to all xxxx 
Sorry about the time thing. I completely forgot to mention it's a late start at JB's, but you got chance to hang out with us backstage and catch up, so it can't be all bad!!

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.

not that I'm counting or anything, but it's only 5 weeks and 5 days until the Ireland gigs. Yay! People who have birthdays on 16th Feb rock! don't we sav?! can't wait to see you all again! xx
Thanks!! The news is that WE'VE been counting the days since Christmas!! The only drawback being the amount of the Black Stuff Sav thinks he's getting off the rest of us - so on Rick's tab, then..........

Well, this is pretty neat! I was browsing through the Def Leppard forum and look at what I found! I think it's great that you are a tribute band to one of the greatest bands in the world! I'd love to see you play live someday (I've never been to a tribute band concert). You'll be in Florida someday, yeah?
Glad you think so, Georgina. We'll have to get you on the hunt for a suitable venue!
