Def Leppard vs Bon Jovi

I'd just like to point out that Richie's there too.

That will be all.

The sound quality may be shite, but that video was cool nonetheless.

Wierd seeing Jon and Richie on the Adrenalize stage!

def leppard plays a bit of wanted in this covers medley...from the same night jon and richie jumped on stage with them

wow that's an awful cover of wanted.

Saw Def Leppard live for the first time in Birmingham last week and although I really wasn't in the mood (back/legs were aching), they were good to be fair.

About the drummer, he was using a pedal which seemed to be split. He moved his foot to the top end to control the hihat and the bottom end to control the snare. I may be wrong, but that's how it looked to me.

You're right, I'm sorry!! That wasn't intentionally. Richie's name should have been included!!

You're wrong.

Rick has a series of pedals and each one triggers a different sound, and the sounds can be changed from song to song.

From Wikipedia:
Most electronic drums use piezoelectric triggers which sense a hit from a drumstick or a pedal and activate a sampled or synthesized sound in response. The customized kit built by Simmons for Allen included drum pads (placed primarily in front of Allen and to his right) triggering the sound of the snare drum and toms to be played with his surviving arm, combined with multiple pedals (mainly placed on the floor to his left), duplicating many of the same sounds. This allowed Allen (after much practice) to play patterns using his right hand and left foot that two-armed drummers would typically play with their right and left hands. Allen subsequently experimented with hardware from other electronic percussion companies, such as Clavia's drum system, Forat's F/16 system, and the Hart Dynamics Acupad system.
In more recent years, as the artificial drum sound popular in the 1980s has largely disappeared, Allen has favoured a sound more like that of an acoustic drum kit, using the electronic pads to trigger samples made from recordings of Allen's acoustic drums.

Plus he's using a lot of loops, a la Rocket.

Fair enough. That's just how it looked to me.

I would not compare them. Two different bands with different sounds.

Def Leppard didn't have a member called Desmond Child, that's why they failed.
