Noblesville/Indianapolis, IN - Media Review Quotes

By Kacjlyn Krol

Def Leppard, where do I begin? I was listening to their music in the womb. I am 21 years old, and much of the crowd was at least 15 years older than me. Sadly, I didn’t see many fans my age, which is a real shame since most of my generation is listening to radio singles with the same beat. At 85% of the concerts I’ve been to the band doesn’t sound half as good as their recorded material. I can honestly say that Def Leppard was the best live performance and concert I’ve seen in my time on this earth. Since I’ve seen over 100 bands live per year lately, add that together and that’s quite a compliment to this band of Brits.

The five took the stage to a backdrop of the signature Def Leppard logo dropping behind them. It was one of the most classic rock star moves, and the crowd went nuts. I needed earplugs just for the crowd noise, which was pretty amazing when you consider I was surrounded by a sea of people mostly twice my age. I couldn’t believe lead singer Joe Elliot kept a jacket on the entire show (which was impressively about an hour and a half long).

"Gunter glieben glauten globen" boomed from the speakers and the crowd went wild. Never missing a word, the crowd showed their appreciation for a band that has beaten the odds at almost every turn. You see, Def Leppard should not be here. The drummer for Def leppard, Rick Allen, was in a terrible car accident leaving him with only one arm. Most bands might have called it quits, or sought a replacement for their drummer, but not Def Leppard. They overcame that obstacle with an ingenuous grace and style that most bands will never have to face. Allen should be considered one of the best drummers of his generation - plus, he gets extra points for difficulty. Drummer, Rick Allen brings a whole new meaning to the phrase Double Kick Drum. He uses four electronic pedals for his left foot to play the pieces he used to play with his left arm. I could say much more about Def Leppard, but after all, I was there to see the grand masters of rock-n-roll, KISS.
