Glasgow, Scotland - Media Review Quotes

By Tony Carlin

ROCK legends Whitesnake and Def Leppard turned on the style in a stunning Battle of the Bands at Glasgow's SECC.

On a night that had more metal on display than the average warship, Def's production rock had the edge in terms of audio visual brilliance. Defs' set, the first on their British tour, lacked some of the crowd interaction of Whitesnake, but had great vocals, astonishing lighting and visual displays, and more than two decades of hits. Old favourites Hysteria and Animal were mixed with tracks from the new album Songs From The Sparkle Room, notably Nine Lives. A somewhat dodgy version of Rock On was soon forgotten after a fabulous half-unplugged version of Bringin' On The Heartache.

Two great acts, one stunning show.

THIS gig saw two of Britain's biggest rock bands from the Eighties roll back the years.

Def Leppard's performance was aided by five video screens. Country-tinged new single Nine Lives was fairly mediocre, but was compensated by stirring renditions of Pour Some Sugar On Me and Armageddon It.
