DefLeppard/Whitesnake

[Ron240]

Def Leppard and Whitesnake have just announced a co-headlining UK arena tour for June.
I have seen both bands approx. 5 times individually,but havent seen the Lep's for quite a few years,so this is one that i definitely do not want to miss.
This has every chance of being the biggest UK tour of 2008.
There is also a support band on all dates - Black Stone Cherry.

See you all in Glasgow.

Def Leppard are also set to release a brand new studio album in mid 2008. The album will see the band adding to their incredible legacy and promises the inclusion of a very special collaboration.

Since this was on the whitesnake.com page, I wonder if that means Coverdale's a guest vocalist, working with Vivian again after firing him almost 20 years ago. A pity that the latest Whitesnake lineup has no other members from his successful years.

Yeah...i read that too,and thought the same thing.
I never actually seen Vivian Campbell with Whitesnake,he had just been replaced by Steve Vai at the time.

Did Glen Hughes ever appear live with Coverdale around that time?
... since he did backing vocals on Now You're Gone - would have been good to see the two of them together for that and some classic Purple

I hope the 6 unreleased Coverdale Page tracks finally see the light of day (should really have been put on a re-issue of the album) ... haven't found them lurking in cyberspace yet

Certainly not to my knowledge anyway...i would be very surprised to hear if that was the case.

But...you learn something new every day..i didnt know he done backing vocals on Now You're Gone.

Last time we saw whitesnake southampton odeon 1979

Seen Bernnie marsden and crew a few times since. in small clubs like The Brook and Mr smiths Bournemouth and the tivolie cinema in Wimbourne of all places.

Never realy a fan of either of those two, but could be tempted by throwing Black Stone Cherry into the mix. Those guys are superb. If you go, make sure you get there early enough to see BSC.

Saw Whitesnake a few times and the tight trousered one was his usual prat of a self each time........... I found them too clinical for me. I like a live act to 'stray' a little, and while the 'classic' Whitesnake was a great band individually, it was too 'polished' for me. Never saw the later line-ups. Def Leppard, to be fair, were really great when I saw them, but that was in the pre 'Hysteria' days.

Would rather, on current form, see Black Stone Cherry.

Purely an observation if i may.....

Ive noticed that it seems to be fashionable these days to put down established bands,and favour new,up and coming ones(absolutely nothing wrong with supporting new bands though).
In the same vein...it also seems to be fashionable to hark back to the old days of bands.

Can i just say...i am not a follower of fashion,i have always known exactly what i like,and this will never change.

As i said..this is purely an observation...i am not trying to ruffle anyones feathers.

Anyone want the password so you can get your tickets early?

A pity they aren't bringing this tour across the pond

Its in the public domain,so i dont see any harm in stating it here - snakebite.
But remember,this password is only for use when asked for the Whitesnake fan club code,not Def Leppard's.
