Def Leppard on Tour
With 7 dates already gone, Def Leppard heads to Columbus Ohio to perform at the Germain Amphitheatre on July 8th. It seems like the tour is going by lickety split but the fans who still wait for them, it seems a lifetime until their favorite rockers grace the stage of their favorite venue in their town or for those who travel to see them if they are not lucky enough to have them play close by. Even when they play in my state, I still have to travel a bit because my state doesn't have a venue that Def Leppard would play at. Fans are excited as the tour continues and for some fans, no distance is too great to travel to see them.
Some like me have traveled across the country to see them and the fans favorite place to see them is in Vegas and have played such Venues as the Hard Rock and this tour, they will be playing at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on September 22nd.
For some fans, it will be the first time seeing them live, even if they've loved their music their entire careers and they will be in for a treat because nothing beats seeing them live. A lot like Aerosmith, you don't really appreciate their music until you see them live, not as much anyway and once you do, it changes your whole outlook on them and suddenly you want more and that's what the Def Leppard fan want more and for some, they will attend a lot of shows on this tour.
For some, it will be the first time and for others, perhaps more than forty times. There are also a new generation of Def Leppard fans, ranging in age as young as 6 to 18 and I specify that age range because they are the sons and daughters of parents that grew up on Def Leppard and are passing on a favorite time in their lives and educating them on Def Leppard's music.
Plus, as newer generation of Def Leppard fans are born, the parents are passing on a legacy of what music is all about and it's more than just making albums and touring, it's about hard work, depending on one another and being there for each other and Def Leppard has done that and far more. They've made a difference in the lives of their fans and for some, influenced the way they live their lives. Perhaps a song pulled them through some hard times or meeting them in person somehow inspired them to be able to cope with whatever difficulty they are going through at the moment.
I think a lot of bands like Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith or Guns N Roses can be said to have influenced a lot of people, even other bands because Def Leppard' s musical influences include Bands like Queen and Mott the Hoople.
We idolize them because of their talents and with Def Leppard, a lot admire them for their courage for having faced some of the most challenging things in their lives and to still be together after that, takes true determination and stamina.
