It's obvious that Def Leppard tries to compare themselves to The Beatles with the cover of their new album Songs From the Sparkle Lounge. One look and anyone who has paid attention to popular culture over the last 50 years will instantly see the similarities to the Beatle's hugely important Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club [...]]]></description>

You would think a near-legendary band like Def Leppard would be certain of their rock-star status. After all, they're the ones behind such fist-pumping anthems as Rock of Ages, Photograph and Pour Some Sugar on Me, and have sold millions of albums around the world.
They've been at it for more than 30 years and have [...]]]></description>

An enthusiastic mostly over-40 crowd at the Mohegan Sun Arena Tuesday was treated to a raucous ride in the way-back machine, courtesy of Def Leppard and REO Speedwagon.
One of the top record-selling bands of the 1980s and an icon of the British heavy metal movement of that era, Def Leppard headlined Tuesday's performance.

For four hours last night at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, it was as if punk and hip-hop had never happened. Whether you think that's a good thing is up to you, but the triple bill of Def Leppard, Styx and REO Speedwagon gave a good accounting of the time when rock music was pop music, [...]]]></description>

The platinum-selling British pop-metal act Def Leppard is hitting the road for the fourth year in a row, and coming to Providence Wednesday with a new record and a new attitude. A couple of new attitudes, in fact.
Guitarist Viv Campbell says the new record, Songs From the Sparkle Lounge, is a return to the Def [...]]]></description>

Def Leppard, a guitar-blazing, one-armed drumming and bass-thumping heavy metal band filled Germain Arena on Sunday night.
The fans, starved for a big-name concert in town, packed the place to see Styx, REO Speedwagon and then Def Leppard put on a show that rocked the ages.
Returning to Estero for the first time in five years, vocalist [...]]]></description>

A thousand pairs of tight jeans and at least a dozen heads of crimped hair turned out to Germain Arena on Sunday night.
They came for Styx and REO Speedwagon, which both put on decent 45-minute sets, but neither of those opening acts held a swaying lighter to the headlining band.
The first two groups merely warmed [...]]]></description>
