- - New Def Leppard- Best Of (https://drycounty.com/jovitalk/showthread.php?t=27177)

It's just occured to me looking at the tracklist again that (with the exception of "Bringin' on the Heartbeak") there is nothing from the first two albums. The 2nd disc mainly focuses on 1996 onwards. I think Best Of (2004 2CD version) and Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection are the still the better choice for any newcomers.

Didn’t they release a greatest hits in 95/96ish called The Vault.
Do they need 3 greatest hits albums?
Must be Christmas!

Plus the Rock Hall nomination.

Just saw an advert for this on the TV, plugging the Personal Jesus cover. What is the need for that, sounds like they've done nothing with it.

Def Leppard was my very first concert 10 years ago and in the months leading up to it, I listened to a lot of that 'Best of' album on my way to school leading up to the show. When Love and Hate Collide was my favorite. I thought the show was amazing, but I didn't know any better back then. Now I think they're just OK live.

I saw Def Leppard several times on their 2008 tour and they were just ok. I'd previous seen them several times before that and they used to be really great in the 90s, but seriously started to go downhill in the 2000's mainly because everytime I saw then Joe seemed to be having voice issues....

However, I just saw them do they whole Hysteria set last week and I have to say they were magnificent, the best I've seen them since the 90's. Joe is clearly doing something different vocally and it's really working for him. He was fantastic! One of the best shows I've seen by any band....
