Ok. What else can we start a thread on to not discuss?

[heardonthestreet]

Didn't they prove it before when they were accused, by doing an up close and personal appearence? Read it somewhere.

Joe Elliott sounds really rough live for the most part. A tell-tale sign that he does NOT lip synch. As much as I love Lepp, Joe has lost quite a bit of his tone/range over the years and is pretty rough nowadays.

Just spoke to friend who saw them at Hammersmith london and further to my post it seems that they do not lip.he said they were not that good but thats not the point.

No Leppard just fakes almost everything but the vocals.

[defbezerk]

What do they fake? Can't wait to see this

I could not have said it better. Well put. If Def Leppard is/does lip, what's the point if Joe is going to sound as rough as he does lately and this is coming from a huge long time Lep fan who still likes them.

Leppard do not use vocal backing tapes, but they do use DATs for special effects and a lot of the big production effects their big hits feature.

Comming from someone who has seen Def Leppard live many times and who considers themself to be a fan of DL I can tell you that Joe Elliot sounds far to horrible live to be lipping!

Andrew, DAT= Digital Audio Tape (DAT or R-DAT) is a signal recording and playback medium developed by Sony and Philips in the mid 1980s. In appearance it is similar to a compact audio cassette, using 4 mm magnetic tape enclosed in a protective shell, but is roughly half the size at 73 mm × 54 mm × 10.5 mm. As the name suggests the recording is digital rather than analog, DAT converting and recording at higher, equal or lower sampling rates than a CD (48, 44.1 or 32 kHz sampling rate, and 16 bits quantization) without data compression. This means that the entire input signal is retained. If a digital source is copied then the DAT will produce an exact clone, unlike other digital media such as Digital Compact Cassette or MiniDisc, both of which use lossy data compression.
