Irish shows with Def Leppard

Post by Sarah » Mon Feb 28, 2011 6:19 pm

I couldn't believe it when I heard Alice would be playing with Def Leppard in Dublin and Belfast, as it's really not often that he comes here. But then I heard that the Dublin show is on the first day of my exams... so once again, I can't go. :( I know it wouldn't be a full set, and I'm not even a Def Leppard fan, but I'm still kicking myself since Alice in Ireland is such a rare thing.
Anyone here thinking of going?

Have to agree with that, which makes me feel slightly better about not being able to go... it's weird that he should be supporting them anyway and not the other way around.

Technically, he's a special guest so he should get a longer slot than a regular opening act would.

could always say School's out and forget the exams

Thin Lizzy on the Bill as well, I love Dublin the Guinness is great and think I'm going to have to get on a plane again to see Alice Cooper, and Def Leppard have some great songs saw them when they were a support band for AC/DC.
He's an Alice fan is Joe Elliot but an even bigger Mott The Hoople fan he got on stage with them at their reunion gigs and was even playing in a Mott tribute band called Down 'N' Outz recently.

Would sooner see Alice , Leppard and Thin Lizzy than the line up at Donnington though I will be at both I suspect

Don't think that would be wise as I'm depending on the results of those exams to get into college.

Still though... I'm gutted.

I will be there no problem. Was there at Kings Hall Belfast and Dublin 5 odd years ago.

Think Alice should headline but I think Vivian Campbell plays with THIN LIZZY and DEF LEPPARD so it makes sense for Alice to support.

Def Leppard, Alice, Thin Lizzy, Journey and Foreigner all in 5 days and Magnum in April. A rockin good year

Ah so there are more fans here on this little island than I thought! :) I don't feel quite so isolated now!

For what it's worth, 2 summers ago I saw the Cheap Trick/Poison/Def Leppard show. I thought Leppard did a good set. I enjoyed it.

Yes I saw them around the same time with Whitesnake & Blackstone Cherry. Whitesnake were better but I enjoyed Leppards set.

About ten years ago I saw DL with Joan Jett. Both acts sounded pretty good overall.

Been told by my girlfriend that she's got me tickets for my birthday, can't wait. I'm a big Def Leppard fan and they truly are great live. This will be some evening :)

Def Leppard are fantastic live.

I just saw the current line-up of Thin Lizzy last Friday and was very impressed with Ricky Warwick (The Almighty) on vocals and Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard) on guitar.

I Think that is a great triple bill...of course, Alice should be headlining that one.
