DEF LEPPARD To Team Up With JOURNEY For Summer Tour
- Mar. 2, 2006
|
|
|
DEF LEPPARD and JOURNEY will be teaming up for a U.S. tour this summer. No dates have been confirmed at this time.
DEF LEPPARD's two-CD collection of hits, "Rock of Ages", has sold 452,000 copies in the United States since its May 2005 release. Meanwhile, the band's 1999 "Vault - Greatest Hits" (Mercury) collection has shifted 4.08 million copies so far.
DEF LEPPARD's all-covers set, entitled "Yeah!", is tentatively scheduled for release in May. Guitarist Phil Collen told Billboard.com last year that the album will include "a bunch of stuff — all '70s stuff. Most of it is songs that we grew up with in England. 'No Matter What' by BADFINGER is going to be the leadoff single. We've done 'Waterloo Sunset' by THE KINKS, T. REX, MOTT THE HOOPLE, ROXY MUSIC and THIN LIZZY. And a lot of it is obscure; it's not the standard stuff. It's not like STONES or BEATLES songs."

This could be fun- sure, there won't be any corpse paint or songs about the wonders of necrophilia, but I can picture slamming a couple (dozen) cold ones in the parking lot & then hearing about 300 anthems of the 80s played.

To the retards who posted simple comments like "Lame" or "yawn":
Go back to your mom's basement and listen to Morbid Angel or Cannibal Corpse, deathdorks. Someone likes Journey and Leppard, and they're gonna speak louder at those concerts than you on this site.

They're so cute together! I want some cotten candy at the food booth and a deth leppard one armed t-shirt.I actually like some Journey,Steve Perry had a great 80's voice.I also enjoy alot of death/blackmetal singer's as well{Chuck from Death was awsome!}.Shit JohnnyCash had a real cool country voice.I'd much rather see and listen to a dude thrashin out in "corpspaint" oppossed to some glam flake-off in mascarra and fishnet lookin like a fuckin barbie doll and singin like a girl{like the slaugther asshole's for instance}.Diversity means everything in music you fuckin asshole's!!!

...perry's not in the mix, though...
...even if you like both bands for different reasons, it's an odd pairing... i'm assuming d.l. will get top billing on this... seen d.l. several times in recent years and they're definitely a tight live band...
...so given d.l.'s latest touring trends, what's on tap for next year? a co-headlining tour with styx? eddie money?

It's comical how some people equate the music they listen to with how tough they are or how tough they perceive others to be. Listening to death metal doesn't make you a bad ass anymore than listening to Journey makes you a pussy... but keep judgeing books by their covers. You'll go far.

still being stubborn. Journey need him as much as priest needed halford. Too bad, if you take away the ballads journey have some rockin songs like stone in love , escape, separate ways. I think their singer now , steve augeri (?) was the singer for tyketto. Could be wrong. I think def leppard is aging well, saw them on the last 2 tours and elliott hasn,t lost his voice. The rest of the band were very animated except for campbell who gives off a wish i was anywhere but here vibe. He is just their for the paycheck.

anyway you want it and separate ways,
at least as far as the
solos go, their is a ringing sustain,
especially separate ways,
where the notes carry/ring/sustain.
Palm mute is the exact opposite,
hence the use of the term "mute",
to dampen, to make the
note(s) not ring, make the notes
die off quickly. I haven't tried
to play either song, but I really
don't think there is much palm
muting in either.
There are mute techniques with
the fretboard hand though.
Classic palm muting..
Van Halen's ain't talkin bout love
from a melody standpoint,
and countless rock/metal songs with palm
muted power chords.
Neil Schon is under rated.
I wouldn't agree that he uses more
than the average palm muting.
In fact, his trademark solos
are using the sustain of a Les Paul
to let notes ring.. getting a
very soulful and melodic vibe in his solos.
The one I miss the most are the tandem
of Steve Clark and Pete Willis. Those two
had great Gibson tone. The early albums
in my opinion should be another genre,
riff metal (in a more classical sense than
stoner metal).

Def Leppard is one of the biggest bands to play live,you like it or not!Even if you don't like it its true.Vivian Campbell and Phill Collen play really good and they have very good songs to play live.If you don't remember Vivian Campbell is the guy playing Holy Diver(yes...the song you were headbanging for years!).Pyromania was the second best selling album in the world.It's not bad to hear some "easy" songs instead of "unholy"black metal and "super malmsteenspeedpower"....and the MILFS yea!they're gonna be there!hehe!Chill out people!It's not a Korn and Nevermore world out there....and Augeri is really professional,he is ok for Journey.

hey I loved these bands in the 80's but journey is not journey without perry and who wants to see def leppard again sing the same songs with a couple of stupid covers tossed in? they should play songs from the first 2 records that fans want to hear instead. with all the time they have wasted on this record they could have put out a new cd by now. face it guys x sucked and it's time to place the call to mutt if you want to salvage your carerer.

At this show you will see:
1) Lots of Camaros in the parking lot, blasting out Bon Jovi;
2) Lots of dudes in their 40s with afro mullets (a/k/a the "schlong"--SHORT in front, LONG in back);
3) Lots of gold chains;
4) Lots of chubby drunk bitches in fishnets and zebra-print mini-skirts;
5) Your mom.

i happen to like both these bands and grew up on them.hell would't you want to be at a concert full of women? both of these bands together have sold over 100 million albums easily.i got into leppard after hearing photograph in 1983 and i couldn't have been but 9 or 10 years old at the time but the video was cool at the time.as far as journey steve perry has one of the best voices that rock and roll has ever produced.escape is one of the best rock albums of the eighties.this is a dream billing for a fan of the eighties.it will sell out and there is no doubt that the ladies will be there as well!

back in the day def leppard were pretty heavy up until the pyromania album hit and thats when they sort of went to a more mainstream sound.get 1982's high n dry thats a pretty raw album for its time.along with iron maiden and a few others they were part of the new wave of british heavy metal......

one more thing.def leppard and journey are way beyond better than foghat.foghat were washed up before the eighties even hit and had one good hit with slow ride in 1975.those chicks at the foghat shows would have a good ten years on the ones at the leppard/journey shows.plus foghat attracts more of a biker crowd anyway...there might be a few chicks in their 30's or 40's but there will be quite a few younger ones too.your talking about bands that dominated music and have had countless top ten hits and albums.def leppard is the only band besides the beatles and pink floyd to sell 10 million copies of two different albums.a very tremendous accomplishment......

Steve Augeri sounds exactly like Steve Perry. If you like Journey, you can go to this tour with full faith that the band hasn't skipped a beat without him.
So much homoerotic obsession. One wonders if you all doth protest too much.
If nothing else, Blabbermouth posters prove the general public's stereotype of metallers as hateful simpletons is true.
Good tour. I'll be there.
