 Listen HereRick confirmed he will be playing with Tesla tonight. Rick has his Tom Petty and Janis Joplin Legends pieces on the ship. ET (paraphrased): Last night before I introduced you at the Def Leppard beer party I watched you pacing around while the DJ played a mix of Def Leppard music. Everything from the first record to the most recent record. I saw you listening to it and air drumming a little bit. How does it feel for you when you hear your old material like that? Rick: "It just took me back. It took me back to a really special place. Because a lot of those songs we haven't played in a long time. But I suspect when we do the Vegas residency we'll probably revisit some of those songs. I was imagining myself playing and just... you know, some of those songs I played with two arms. So I was trying to figure out well, how I'm gonna do this. I was pacing around just trying to figure out how I could play this stuff. I think a lot of those songs are gonna resurface." ET (paraphrased): Are you gonna do Ded Flatbird again in Vegas? Rick: "I'm not sure it's gonna be Ded Flatbird, but it'll be a form of that." |

I actually thought Rick A. was in Sobriety. Though it was / is just a picture and we actually didn't see him drinking the beer. guess my assumption was wrong.
I was just thinking also, since they are going back to the High n Dry songs, a couple it sounds like.. I was wondering if Pete Willis will step in and play.. since Rick mentioned that Pete is still playing in side band (s). How that would be a great surprise. Also with the origianal spelling of Def Leopard before it got changed.
Just my mind wondering again... so, most likely not. Lol.
Guess we'll just have to wait for the surprise.. Right.

They do plan on Rehearsing for the HOF so they obviously have something different planned outside of the cookie cutter set.
I'm actually a bit nervous for Pete if he shows up. Imagine being out of the spotlight for nearly 4 decades and all of a sudden every media outlet wants a quote from you?
I think a controlled Interview with Eddie would be great. As much as i find Eddie over the top sometimes he does know his stuff and he is a true fan from back in the day. Plus the band trusts him.
It's a shame steve won't be represented but I hope they use the video footage they have in the archive to make sure he gets his credit.
I'm most looking forward to the speeches. I am proud that we 'the fans" had a part in getting the band in the HOF on the first go around.
