verona Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Great Band and one to be proud of. Wish I'd seen them when I was in Vegas. Rick Savage sometimes drinks in my local. No one bothers him and he seems a very down to earth bloke. Did they not all go to that school near Cross Pool? Forget the name. I think they have a plaque in Barkers Pool but that's about all.

madowl Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I love Def Leppard, fantastic band, their gig at the Arena last year was amazing and sold out so I don't see how people are embarrassed about them... I've just remembered im seeing them again in 11 days!! first time i saw them live it was back in the gooood old days of the Wapentake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 No, there's no Def Leppard museum in Sheffield. In fact most of us are a bit embarrassed about such a terrible band being associated with our city. Mention Def Leppard in Sheffield and most people will try to pretend they're from Leeds. i think you're speaking for yourself there mate. i like def leppard and although i'm from rotherham i think it's great that they started up just down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunemeister Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 but you'll need someone older than me to tell you the Sheffield live music circuit in the late 70s! I seem to remember them being regulars at the Broadfield. I helped humped their gear at a City Hall gig, Magnum supported them & I thought they were much better. Joe Elliot was late for the sound check cos he'd been for a round of golf! Rock & roll eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
