When Chris and I were dating, I was quite disappointed to learn that he liked classic rock.
I loved to tell him that "just because it's old, doesn't make it classic."
At the time I was very into alternative/punk rock music, which disappointed Chris.
(we were both relieved to find that neither of us liked country).
He was convinced that I was missing out.
And thus began the brainwashing*.
It started with a CD of rock ballads.
I thought it was pretty good, but not totally great.
Then came the def leppard CD that changed everything...
Def Leppard quickly became my favorite and I FINALLY got to see them in concert!
This was Chris' 3rd time seeing them...but he still loved it.
Heart opened for them and rocked!
-Fun fact-
Nancy Wilson went to Pacific University (where Chris goes) before joining her sister Ann in Heart.

Def leppard:
Doesn't get much better than rockin out to def leppard all night long.
It is slightly humorous to me that these "old" guys are still rockin like they're 20-something...however, I'm sure glad they still are!
 |
| I love them enough to look past the fact that they're not American ;) |
Another reason def is awesome? Their drummer only has one arm.
This is how far away we were...yep we pretty much watched the big screens the whole time.
 |
| The seated area was covered, which kept all the smoke hovering above the crowd....gross! |
It was one rockin night and we can't wait to see them again!
*Chris says he's brainwashed me whenever he can get me to like something he likes...which happens way too frequently!

Nice brainwashing Chris! I like classic rock AND alternative/punk. One of the reasons my husband and I fell in love was because we both loved the Beatles so much... well I guess we didn't really fall in love because of that, but Beatles: Rock Band came out while we were dating and we spent many a date night playing that! You guys are missing out on country though! I used to hate it, and there are still some kinds that I hate (if it's too twangy) but if you open your heart you'll find that country has some really good music too.
