I was wondering when they would get to def leppard. So many questions..... I may skip this as it might frustrate the hell out of me.  |

Not gonna be a good experience for fans like us. Looking through the questions submitted, about 99.9% are awful. I'd hate to be the unfortunate person(s) tasked with choosing which questions to pass on to the band.

I'd hate to be the unfortunate person(s) tasked with choosing which questions to pass on to the band. I'd LOVE that job! I'd be hunting down the 0.1% that are NOT stupid, come up with a couple of my own, and consult here for some good questions.  |

I submitted these
1. After such a successful 2018 Tour playing massive venues and crowds...how will the band top this years tour? Is the band ready to do an Evening with Def Leppard and no other bands? Shawn
2. The Slang Tour was heavily documented around the world in concert. Will the band ever buy the rights to one of those shows and release it? Shawn
3. What's the key to a good opening song Live from the bands pov?
4. Is there any hope fans will ever see the unreleased footage shot for the vegas tv show in 2013? Maybe you could do a gofundme campaign to see that footage released? - Shawn
5. When the band gets Inducted 😃 into the RNRHOF who is one person from the bands past they would want to be there? - Shawn
6. When can fans expect the release of the New Documentary? Rough estimate is fine
7. Has the discussion ever come up about releasing a recording of every show from a current tour? This would mean changing the set every night. Then make it available for download? Ronan doesn't need to sleep lmao - Shawn
8. When can Fans expect a New Album? Shawn
9. Will the band take a break from touring the US in 2019, or will they play a Residency instead?

Looks like the Q&A and the promotion of it had a nice effect on the voting activity yesterday. There were around 10,000 votes yesterday and around a 3,800 increase in the 1st place lead. This is tracking 10:00 PM EST from November 6 to November 7. Great voting, all!

The best thing about that Q&A was the excitement from Joe about the HOF...you could feel it.... even though he was realistic about it and yet very respectful of the other artists.

Enjoyed listening to that. Hes rambling so much at one point that he forgets the question We've read, heard, and watched so many interviews with the band we can almost tell what they are going to say. I bet CindyJ can. I asked a bunch of questions hoping they would bait him into giving some advanced info away but no such luck. We'll just have to find out other ways |

Will the band take a break from touring the US in 2019, or will they play a Residency instead? Great questions Shawn. I only asked on on Twitter So many rip off companies sell products with your logo on it. I used to look for your official label before I purchase because the band deserves the proceeds instead of someone making a quick buck. What are the names of the legit companies or do you even care about the others?
I tried to ask Joe this in person at the Meet and Greet in Honolulu but he didn't really get it. He said there is merchandise available in stores like Hot Topic. I was speaking about the ones that show up on my FB feed as suggestions, like a quilt you can buy with all their album covers. I'm pretty sure whoever is making a buck off those quilts doesn't give any to the band. Do they care? I would.

Gone are the days when Viv would answer questions on FB. That is how I learned about this forum. Shawn asked Viv a question about whether or not a person should save their money for an upcoming (at the time) Canadian tour or spend their money on cheese. Viv replied that the dates would be announced very soon and that one can never buy enough cheese. I remember ending the questions "thank you for your time".

That was pretty good other than when it froze and when Joe took the chance to sh*t all over millennials. You have millennial fans too, Joe. That's not just your generation filling those stadiums.  |

Viv replied that the dates would be announced very soon and that one can never buy enough cheese. I remember ending the questions "thank you for your time". Viv got shut down because i would get advanced info but i needed a public source to publish it. So that sadly ended so now depending how big the announcement is sometimes we wait and sometimes we announce it. Sometimes we get asked to hold off announcing things. Oh and the cheese bit was a bit of a joke. Viv loves cheese and he brought up a story about some guy who got busted smuggling expensive cheese across the border. That seems like a decade ago.... glad you found us DonnaV |

My questions were asked on twitter but i also sent them to the lep camp. But Lee was given a sheet of questions to choose from and i guess he picked the generic one. I've complained so many times about so called fans selling the products with the bands name or likeness on it it's exhausting. Some get shut down and some are not worth the time. Put it this way if your page has over 100,000 followers and you can't get 30 likes per post. All of a sudden someone has an audience to sell their products. |

Great interview Loved hearing about how the other bandmates spend their time between gigs. Always had a feeling Phil was a bit of a social butterfly. Love how Joe even gets a kick out of old jazz. Not my thing..but shows how diverse his music tastes really are. |

Not my thing..but shows how diverse his music tastes really are. I bet if you asked Joe on another tour he would be listening to another genre of music. I remember hearing someone mention that they couldn't sleep when they got home because the hum of the bus was gone and hearing it helped them fall asleep. When i have trouble falling asleep i go to youtube and listen to weather sounds.... there are like 10 hour uploads on there. Works like a charm. |

Too bad we can't get them to do a Q&A through this forum! It would be awesome if the diehards got their chance at asking questions ya never know never thought we would get Phil and we did. |

After listening to Joe's Q&A and his opinion on other nominees, I decided to craft a playlist for the aerobics class I teach weekly that honors this year's nominees. I managed to find one song for each artist that fit well into the playlist and added up to almost exactly an hour. I played it tonight since the voting period is about to close. It was an interesting project, piecing it all together, especially since I wasn't familiar with all the nominees and not all fit into "aerobics class" genre. I started it a week ago and temporarily gave up when I got to Rage Against the Machine.
