Oh please - can't someone just rip those glasses off his face and just smash them. He isn't even rock - just a pathetic pop act, and to call him a legend we may as well call Britney a legend (Well, perhaps a bit more - she IS better than Bono). He whines about "crumbs off our table" when what does he donate? He asks us to donate when he has more than enough money than he could EVER want, but no he just dissappears into his limosine laughing.

The real heroes are the ones actually IN third world countries who are actually HELPING and getting their hands dirty and don't boast about it to sell records (Unlike Bono).

To call Bono arrogant is a VAST understatement. He is a prat.
Don't call me gigolo, don't call me Casanova Just call me on the phone and baby come on over!

Oh sure.. this is coming from a guy that likes DEAF LEOPARD...

BTW.. Hi Hugo.. long time no see.. :)

do you actually know what he has/hasn't donated?
if you know he hasn't then fair dos - if you don't know then shut up judging him!!!

and why isn't he a hero? he's campaigned and argued and protested in all the important places to get £33bn of African debt eradicated

let's face a fact or two here....most (and when i say most i mean nearly all) of the Live Aid and other charity money to hit africa since 1985 has been used up by those countries just to pay the interest payments on the £33bn of debts they owe the worldbanks...so the aid has not often got to those that need it

now, after seven years of campaigning (by many, Bono included) the debts have been wiped....and the aid from charities etc can finally get to those that need it, rather than fucking interest payments

the "drop the debt" campaign has achieved much more than any other strategy in the last 20 years

for that he (THEY ALL) should be applauded...give him a break,

Come on Mike, Def Leppard are without a shadow of a doubt one of (If not THE :P) best bands ever.

U2 on the other hand are mediocre at best.

YES!!!!!!!! I knew you had the Lep spirit in you Mike! :)

Just plug in the Lep, turn it up - and enjoy some of the finest music ever.

You know it makes sense!

P.S
Pyromania is better than Hysteria :P

When I was in college, the only people who listened to Def L. were the same people who listened to Skynyrd...red necks..we called em' grits.

"Pour some sugar on me" I don't think so.

Yeah great lyrics. Right up there with Britney's "Hit Me Baby One More Time"....hey to each his own.

Well, ALL the Lep albums are absolute top class - just 'Photograph' makes Pyromania just that bit better than the others.

Point taken..

EDITED.. it seems the passage was FINALLY corrected.. ;-)

but I loved that joke, what has 32 teeth and an IQ of 160... the first two rows of a Skynard concert.. of course when I heard that the first time I heard it was the entire crowd of a Skynard show.. lol
