Being able to connect in Spirit with Def Lepp has in ways been one of the reasons I'm still sitting/standing on the green side of the grass. Following hearing the music, Joe & Sav for some reason(pretty sure it was the smiles), became the central attraction, when I first heard Def Leppard. Not too long after hearing I started listening to what they were singing bout, I realized there's more than meets the eye. That's when the band as a whole became the main attraction. I could gush bout how great they look, how my heart skips a beat when I see in combination with hearing them sing/play. But I'd rather gush bout:
(1)The force behind the voice(vocally/instrumentally), you know in most amusement parks the main attraction is a roller coaster, which when one gets on one knows to get ready for a heart pumping experience. (2); strength and integrity they've shown throughout the yrs (dealing with difficulties/accomplishments that's gone on,big ones and small ones), (3); knowing that in hindsight there's a bigger picture for them being in my life, (4); they've got a way with words(lyrically speaking) that, even if not written for that specific reason, helped me get through some difficulties(big ones and small ones) as well. I'm very thankful.

I really do not like Vivian. Seriously trying to be as good as Steve Clark. He just makes the band look bad. We should just clone Phil and replace Vivian lol

After listening to Def Leppard so much, I wondered who in the world could play so fantastic on a guitar? Then, I realized it was a man I'd never heard of, much less cared about. But, after watching Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story, I absolutely fell in love with the band. But, more importantly, I fell for Steve. The things he brought into the band, the music, playing those random riffs that no one understood but him, made him the greatest guitarist of his time. I loved watching 'Classic Albums' about the Hysteria album, and how they had the interview with Steve. I fell completely in love with everything about him. They talked more about him at the end, about his alcoholism, and other problems. That's not how I remember Steve. I remember the creative, fun, energetic, great musician he should be remembered as. I wish I could've been around before he died to see him perform live. He died months before I was born, however. I am a I just hope he's rocking out, wherever he is, and I am glad I stumbled upon such a great musician. His music really has touched my life, and as my myspace page says, 'the song has ended but the melody lingers on'. Steve will always be loved and remembered as one of the greatest guitarists to walk this earth. I had to laugh when I found out that one of his many nicknames was 'Snikker', kind of reminds you of a candy bar. Then again, he was delicious!
That special song for Steve will always play in my heart.
I love you Steve 'Steamin' Clark!!!

Traveller asked me to let you know that someone must of gotten into her account and she is going to be doing a new one, as she went to forward something yesterday and all her email address were gone the part for IMing was still there but not to send emails.

Found out because an email got from a group had kicked her off because it was an email from ebay, which Traveller has not been on for 5 months and its actually one she brought. It was a pic of Steve kneeling on the grass that she owns and has for 7 months or more and its not for sale.

I think the group was unfair not to ask Traveller if she did this instead of just stating ' now you are kicked out of the group', seeing she hardly ever posts on the group concerned.

But please if anyone gets anything from Traveller, that they aren't sure about please ask first, but when we looked at the return email from the group and it was a shopping site for tvs and mobile phones etc if you get this please delete.

Love and Best Wishes
Patricia

Where can I find a copy of that album where they have on the Leppard print shirts??
I LOVE that Pete is in the front of the band and Joe is in the back--VERY STRANGE knowing what we know now!
I think I even remember seeing this album cover back in 81' in a friends collection because it looks familiar to me.
Is it a collectors album now? Thanks for any info you can provide.

I remember being SURE Sav and Rick were brothers - or at least cousins - in the 80s because they look so much alike. Rick joked that he couldn't "consult the book of one-arm drummers". No, he WROTE IT!! It's no secret that he's a tremendously talented drummer and a life-altering inspiration to millions of people, but what amazes me most about Rick is his growth not just as an artist, but as a spiritual being. For years and years, Rick always looked intense, focused and ANGRY when he played. Look at him today - with much credit to his lovely wife. The man RADIATES light, peace, compassion, and lives like a man who has truly come to terms with life. I literally cried when I saw him back on an acoustic set - and when I watched the LLWTG video, his smile was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. He is the embodiment of living one's life with intention. ::end Quote::

I love Rick! He is truely an inspiration to all. He's such a doll. I don't know him personally but look at him, he looks so sweet. Not to mention he looks like my brother (also a drummer but on a much smaller scale..he's only in a local band). I remember watching my brother sitting behind his drum set with his head phones on and would play for us and have us try and figure out what song and band he was playing. It's awesome just watching!!

Listen to this, it's a funny story. With all the talent my brother has he never had a lesson in his life, he's 'self-taught'. Now here's the funny part..I was the one who took drum lessons. Where did that get me? Well let's just say my job is not a drummer. I wound up stupidly falling for my teacher. I would rather sit and watch him play the drums then learn how to play. Love you Chris..still to this day, where ever you are.

Anywho...Rick is the absolute best EVER!!! Rock on Rick!!! ~Kelly

I am so glad I found this site!! AWESOME pics of my favorite Lep PETE!! It is so hard to find any info on him now.
Wouldn't it be great if someone made up a website about PETE?
I have no clue how to do it or I would.
The Steve Clark Tribute website is AWESOME and I found some pics of Pete there.
I wish someone would do one for Pete. I KNOW you Pete fans are out there!
Only----I AM THE BIGGEST PETEFAN! I just don't know jack about computers!! lol
Will someone step up?
Also--I would love to hear from Pete Willis fans who would be willing to get some sort of petition going (names signed?) that we could send to Pete to encourage him to play again.
Pete needs to start up a new band---don't you Pete fans agree??
