The Detroit Red Wings may be feeling a twinge of embarrassment after their 3-2 home-opening loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, in which the Stanley Cup champions passed the puck like a remedial-level pee-wee team.
That is, until Def Leppard's Joe Elliott redefined the concept of embarrassment during one of their NHL Face-Off Rocks segments at the Fox Theater in Detroit. This is what you get for booking a band from England: Drive on the wrong side of the road, place the holiest of holy hockey grails on a pedestal upside down.
Epic, epic fail. Even Draper's kid had the good sense to poop in the thing right-side up.

Joe Elliot + Stanley Cup = FAIL
Def Leppard (sigh!)
Some things are just best left back in the 1980’s. Miami Vice, white silk Armani suits, Rambo, Def Leppard...
Well, I like them. We saw them in Birmingham this summer. For the last set of songs, Elliott came out in an Alabama jersey and Coach Bear Bryant’s old Hounds Tooth style hat that he used to wear. The Bama fans loved it. Of course, the Barners from Auburn booed. But, we Bama fans out numbered them, so we were happy. :-)
I like ‘em, too. I especially like their new work with Tim McGraw.
Def Leppard.
I worked two shows for them in the late 80’s. The first one they had the LA Gunn’s open for them, they kicked ass! The second one they ,the band, wanted to know if we wanted in their football pool. They love American football. They were pretty cool, no rock star arrogance.
They owned last place!
