Def Leppard Sucks part 2

(ok, "sucks" is a bit harsh...but at least I got your attention)

To everone who responded to my original posting on 4/30/2008 "Def Leppard Sucks" (feel free to go back for a read) I give you PROOF from Joe Elliott himself that they DID lip sync on "Dancing With the Stars"........

DEF LEPPARD: Don't Lump Them In (audio)(Posted 3:00 AM, 7/23/2008)
Don't lump Def Leppard in with the so-called "hair bands" of the '80s -- Poison, Cinderella, Great White, Ratt, etcetera. Speaking at a press conference for a Swedish music festival, singer Joe Elliott says, "We were never driven to do the mascara thing or whatever these bands did. They didn't have any substance musically, I don't think, in comparison to us, so we didn't feel we needed to do it." His comments were relayed to Poison's Brett Michaels, who responded by saying he is a fan of Def Leppard, but poked fun at them for lip-syncing on Dancing With the Stars. Poison drummer Rikki Rockett said Def Leppard in concert is a "pre-programmed, Mutt Lange live record."
Elliott responded by saying, "Brett has a point -- we did lip-synch on Dancing With the Stars, a show they'd love to be on, no doubt... When I said a lot of those Hollywood bands weren't 'real' [what I meant was] I was born Joseph Elliott, Sav was born Richard Savage, Rick was born Richard Allen, Phil was born Philip Collen, Viv was born Vivian Campbell and Steve was born Stephen Clark. I don't think anyone in Poison uses their real name, do they? And I could name hundreds of others who don't, but Poison came to mind because I was asked about them! It's nothing personal, it was just an answer to a question." As for Rockett's comment, Elliott says, "Well, he's welcome to come see us anytime he wants... Obviously not used to hearing a good band very often then, is he?"
In closing, a post on Def Leppard's website says, "Pease be aware that this is all light-hearted banter, with no serious insult intended."
Def Leppard is back in North America July 30th in Texas. --Sal Cirrincione

Roth Imposter

Diamond Dave meet Larry Plummer...your imposter! This is the guy (on the right) who got pulled over by police for speeding and told cops he was on his way to the hospital after having an allergic reaction to nuts. The real David Lee Roth was on stage in New York! Authorities say "He's done this in other provinces and other states. He's an old hand at it"

Now Thats "A"-rod Material-girl

Some Blue Jays fans had fun distracting A-Rod before he went to the plate. HAAHAAA!

Miss USA does it again!

Summer TV is the lowest of the low. It's actual WORK to find something to watch. So, while waiting for "The Two Coreys" to come on A&E (the greatest show of the summer!) I tuned in to the cheese-fest-eye-candy Miss Universe pagent. Jerry Springer and Mel B hosting! Wow, you know it's bad when you can't afford Mario Lopez. He's such an ego maniac horn dog he'd probably do it for free...anyway...thanks to Miss USA for giving us what we want, no not T n' A, but a FALL!!!! Ahhhhhhhh there's nothing better! And it's the second year in a row Miss USA has fallen during the evening gown competition. Thanks Miss USA for keeping YouTube in business. It's the American way.

Ringo says "pull my finger" Chicago!

...ok so it's actually "peace and love", but I couldn't resist. Ringo Starr celebrated his 68th birthday in Chicago yesterday at the Hard Rock Hotel. In the video you can see Ringo with a few of his friends, including Edgar Winter (he's the albino in the back), his wife, and who I THINK is the lead singer for the band "Men at Work" (?????)....see for yourself
