Charlotte, NC - Media Review Quotes

By Courtney Devores

The still baby-faced bassist Rick Savage paid tribute to Tommy Ramone in a cut-up white Ramones’ T-shirt. In their bedazzled rock wear, he and singer Joe Elliott, who traded a white leather military-style jacket for a longer black one (just like Lionel Richie did Thursday), must keep stores like Revolution in business.

Def Leppard plowed through hits “Animal,” “Love Bites,” “Foolin’,” “Let’s Get Rocked” and “Hysteria.” They pulled out acoustic guitars for “Two Steps Behind” and the massive sing-along “Bringing on the Heartbreak.” Its abbreviated set relied heavily on “Hysteria.”

“Rocket” was the visual standout, with the band performing before screens of tiny televisions , but “Armageddon It” held the most thematic weight as statistics about world hunger, HIV, the environment, and cancer, ticked up on a giant screen behind them.

If you are looking for a concert that is basically two for the price of one then check this out. KISS and Def Leppard are on tour for a few more months together this year with both bands doing long sets. Jay and I saw the concert in Charlotte this past weekend have the KISS and Def Leppard setlist for those of you who would like to know what you might expect to hear at a show on this tour. Keep in mind that they might change it up a little between shows, but this should give you a general idea.

Def Leppard went on stage first {after an opening act that none of us were familiar with}. They performed 14 songs and their set list was crammed full of songs that anyone who knows Def Leppard will know. For the most part, they performed them the way that you are used to hearing, so I loved that. You can sing along without worrying about Joe Elliott making too many changes that may or may not ruin it.
