With Def Leppard's recently announced blockbuster summer tour making headlines, now seems as good a time as any to write about De La Cruz, a band that sounds so much like Def Leppard that they may as well BE the might Lep. I know what you're thinking: the world needs another Steel Panther or The [...]
Last summer Poison toured with Mötley Crüe, and that seemed like pretty much the best glam metal nostalgia tour imaginable; now Rikki Rockett has announced via Facebook that this summer Poison will be touring with Def Leppard, which is, somehow, an even more sugary confection than the Crüe tour. Whether or not it will be as [...]

Mike's Top 10 Concert Photos from 2011 Mike's Top 10 Photos from 2011 Twenty-eleven was an amazing year for me with YouTellConcerts.com. I went to (and shot) more shows than I could have possibly imagined in one year. I'm a music junkie all the way, but to be a photographer up front in the photo pit armed with my camera and favorite lens...well nothing compares. It was very tough to pick my favorite ten photos out of all the thousands I took during [...]
In the early 80's, as well as most of the 70's, I was a sheltered child. I discovered rock n' roll through a neighborhood buddy whipping out his older sister's Kiss collection and being stunned by the images of spacemen and demons, and the sounds that subsequently rattled around my brain. They were so savage! So aggressive! So filled with testosterone that my five or six year old self could hardly contain himself. As soon as my Mom caught wind that [...]
Where is Def Leppard? Where is Mötley Crüe? When Steel Panther asked these questions in their debut single 'Death To All But Metal' – little would they have known that a few years later, they would actually be on tour with them. We managed to find our leopard print trousers and guy-liner in time to race over to Wembley for the ultimate hair metal night out. Six things we found out when we went to see Def Leppard at Wembley: [...]
The folks at the 2011 Download Festival felt it. Fans who saw them opening for Black Stone Cherry felt it. The lucky masses who'll be at Hammerfest 2012 are about to feel it. Soon everyone will know the band that Def Leppard's Joe Elliot has called "absolutely awesome stuff!" Ripple Music, the home of authentic, retro rock and metal, is proud to announce the signing of Northern Ireland's most explosive rock n' roll import, Trucker Diablo ! After blowing away the crowds from the stages of 2011's Download Festival, this Irish four-piece [...]

Originally published in July of 2009, we revisit the You Can't Always Get What You Want Cover Wars with recent renditions from Umphrey's McGee and the cast of Glee. You Can't Always Get What You Want is the closing track on the 1969 Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed . There are some very interesting quotes regarding the drumming on this track included in the book According to the Rolling Stones, you can see the page in question over at Google Books . [...]
Cover Me looks back at the monumental Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, complete with recaps, commentary and videos of all the covers performed at the event.
Engine Room Records has released the third volume in their series of indie bands covering guilty pleasure tunes, and this time they're all taking on hair metal classics. How does it fare? Very, very well.
Knowing this genre wasn't the most difficult part of making this list. I know this music better than I know the names of the members of my family. The difficult journey in making this list was figuring out what bands belonged. There are some giants of the metal field that have been obviously excluded. Metallica is too metal. AC/DC was too hard rock. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest didn't
Interview and live pics by Emily Eve; girls on stage pic by Friedia Niimura In one sense, making records is like using the toilet: It takes more to do number two than number one. And in the case of L.A. heavy metal semi-parodists Steel Panther, a follow-up to their wildly funny and compulsively banging 2009 debut [...]

Def Leppard, Heart Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion September 23, 2011 As '80s rock acts go, Def Leppard has always straddled that line between serious musical territory and the self-parody that... Continue reading "Friday Night: Def Leppard & Heart At The Woodlands" >
DEF LEPPARD, HEART ( Sleep Country Amphitheater , 17200 NE Delfel, Ridgefield, WA) Def Leppard's relevancy expired over two decades ago, and they know it. Their most recent effort Mirrorball is a double live album featuring chart toppers from their platinum days in the mid '80s and early '90s, plus three new/unbearable studio tracks. How is it that after 20-plus years of producing drivel, they can still headline amphitheaters? "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is an infectious stripper anthem, but it's hardly worth $100. A one-armed drummer? Now that's worth a hefty ticket price! [...]
To help promote their upcoming tour, on October 11 Judas Priest will release The Chosen Few, their umpteenth career retrospective, and one which does not feature any new material. The Chosen Few does have a hook, though - I mean, beyond the fact that the band members appear on the cover only as silhouettes, I [...]
