Grand Rapids, MI - Media Review Quotes

By David T. Farr

Drummer Rick Allen is mesmerizing. The one-armed man pounded the drums on "Photograph," which is still one of my all-time favorite rock songs. It sounded just as good as it did when I saw them in 2003.

"The Definitive Collection" includes the band's cover of Badfinger's "No Matter What." They performed the song, which went over well. Def Leppard also performed a cover of "Rock On," which will appear on the band's next album of covers in 2006.

There was a determination to rock the place and The Lepp's delivered. "Rocket" lasted almost 12 minutes, so the band could rock out. It was awesome. Other rockin' tracks included "Animal," "Gods Of War," "Rock Of Ages," and the closing number "Pour Some Sugar On Me." The video screen showed the faces of several of controversial world leaders, dictators and politicians including Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and George W. Bush while they performed "Gods Of War."
