DL set lists suck

aph01 · #1 09-18-2006, 12:27 AM

Im would say im a pretty big Def Leppard fan, but i have to say that of late their set lists suck! It never changes during a tour (give or take a song or two)! They have so many great songs that should be played live eg 'Stand Up', 'Stagefright', 'Miss You In A Heartbeat', 'Gods Of War', 'Love And Effection', 'Heaven Is', even 'When Love and Hate Collide' isnt getting played! I think their sets are taking the piss! Its almost as if they are becoming a nostalgic band now, what with the sets and having bands from the same era opening for them? If you read this interview with Joe he says that he likes to change the set!! What alot of BS!! I hope the sets become better when they hit the UK tour!

They changed it up but not as much as we'd like.
Keep in mind that they're doing a double headlining show so it's a shorter set. Since they have too many hits, they have to play them and that didn't leave much room for all the other goodies.

I hate double headlining shows for bands with more than 5 albums.

They should really stop closing with Pour Some Sugar on Me...

I would love to have them do songs like Rock Rock Til You Drop and Too Late for Love. I also would kill to hear HYENSSB? and Stand Up Kick LIM....

Uh yah, They have, what, 80 minutes to play? Wait till their next tour to rate the setlists I think. They're not going to pull out anything rare if they have 80 minutes to get the hits out.

They played Have You Ever in the Rock of Ages tour in USA. Seems that the song was a bigger hit in USA than Europe. Whereas WLAHC was huge in the UK but not US. The band based their setlist on the chart position. Which is annoying.

On a side note, apparently the amount of seats their selling today is the same amount as they did for the Hysteria tour which is just mindblowing. Im glad they're having a good year.

Yeah they played it at Hammersmith too .... but their setlist was fairly predictable ... would have loved to see some Slang stuff! Do they ever play anything from that? Actually, woulda liked to hear one of the singles from X too, but they appeared to avoid those two albums ... ?
