Lots of stuff to be honest, mainly based around website and social media stuff, primarily for bands and musicians, but also stuff like write biogs, promo materials and press releases and tour VIP package management....or whatever I'm asked to do (within limits lol).

Check out the link in my Sig for a bit more info...cheers!

I think their status in Europe has fallen quite a bit over the last few years so it's a great way to let people know that they are still out there. I can't see them agreeing to do it in England or America, where there's not such a huge gap between the popularity of the 2 bands.

If the money was right they'd play your back garden, as would most bands.

When you see them they sound like Def Leppard. Joe Elliott still sounds like Joe Elliott. So you feel you're getting the real McCoy if you're a fan.

Bon Jovi are a different breed. More successful but with a singer whose voice has just not held up anywhere near what it was in the 80s or 90s. Nevertheless, they continue to produce a lot more new music and fill stadiums. Maybe it boils down to Jon having whiter teeth.

On another note, has anyone else noticed that where Jon used to sound bad on a chorus but ok on the verses (e.g. always), now it's the other way round?!
Am I missing something because I do not think this sounds polished at all. Just another singer struggling to sing like he used to.

Def Leppard is on stage now. I would imagine this is an encore song.

"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Def Leppard's drum solo."

Do you think they'll have an encore as an opening act? Like I get that it's def Leppard but it's not as if it's a dual tour or anything they still are the support act.

Yes you're probably right. I just meant that they're likely almost done.
