Def Leppard, Poison, Cheap Trick |
| Summer Tour 2009 |
| Tickets $20-$130 |
WHAT TO EXPECT:
"We sing better,
we sound better, we look and feel better, our progression is
perfect," Def Leppard's Phil Collen declares, promising this triple
bill will return to the big riffs and big showmanship of arena rock
past. "It was sorely lacking in the '90s," says Collen. "No pyro,
we've done that before, but a big lighting rig, and the ego ramp to
go down there and shake your stuff."
After a successful outing with Journey, Def Leppard join fellow
'80s pop metal vets Poison and power pop rockers Cheap Trick for
what Collen promises will be "three to four hours of hits and great
music.
"They're great records," Collen continues. "Sure, it's harder to
get us on Top 40 these days, because, let's face it, youth is king.
Taylor Swift, Rihanna... they're under 20 years old. But when
someone says, 'I made love for the first time to "Love Bites," '
or, 'I got a hand job to "Pour Some Sugar on Me," ' that's great!
As long as you make an impact any which way."
