Seen Whitesnake several time and in my opinion Coverdale is dreadful and the band is just a wall of noise to try and cover up his poor vocals.

Saw Def Leppard last year and they were fantastic. Had seen Joe struggle a few times over the years, but he was spot on. I also think Jovi are going to struggle to follow Leppard as their current A Game is well below Def Leppard's (again in my opinion).

I was suprised Def Lep were offered the slot. Ive never seen them live but my mates have and said there were great. Jovi - well Jon - are not.

Same with Skid Row - supporting in a few shows - They will blow Jovi off stage - and thats without Seb!

For their age Def Leppard are still pretty good. But they are still a shadow of their former self. My dad saw them 10 years ago and was a bit disappointed let alone now. Not a knock on them, it would be wrong to expect them to sound the same, but they certainly aren't on the same tier as band like Metallica or Iron Maiden as a live act these days.

I saw them in 2008 and they were disappointing. Last year, they were phenomenal. Best I'd seen them since the early 90s.

I'd like to see the two bands do a song together. Not sure it will happen but would be cool.

I feel weird defending Def Leppard, because they're far from my favorite band and that show I saw didn't blow me away either, but facts are facts - they have original members (except the one deceased guitarists) and still sound respectable when playing their material live. That's not a long list of peers from that era who can do that and Whitesnake, nor Bon Jovi, do not make that cut in 2019.
I'm not going to engage with with you when you're just going to make things up to suit your argument.

I didn't day Def Leppard sucked. I said they sounded too polished and synthetic.

Also, implying that Def Leppard are better than Whitesnake because they play bigger venues would imply that Bon Jovi are currently one of the best live acts in the world because they're playing stadiums.

Popularity doesn't necessarily mean quality. I feel like that's a rather obvious point to make but one you've clearly overlooked.
