Should Def Leppard & Yes Retire? Highlight From my Last Stream!

[@TheProgCorner]

Mirror To The Sky was excellent so Yes can stick around!!!!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Right Scot? Finally, someone agrees with me! 😉👌😂

[@chetthebee1322]

I saw Yes open for Deep Purple on their last tour and they sounded fantastic. That being said, they should call themselves The Steve Howe Band or Steve Howe plays Yes.

[@stormcop55]

You KNOW my feelings on Def Leppard! Just watched their video performing in Mexico the other day. Kicking off another tour this summer!!!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Right James! They are performing at their peak! If they show up anywhere near me, count me in brother! ❤👌🏆

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video as always nichael Michael have a great weekend ❤😊

[@classicrockriffsandotherbi7737]

The more i listen to Mirror to the Sky, the more I like it; definitely better than the current lineup’s output over the last 5 years or so. I’ll give Def Lep “Diamond…” lp a listen.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I hear you there ClassicRock!You are not alone in the “Mirror” love! And do listen to Diamond Star Halos when ya get a chance! I think you’ll like it brother!❤

[@mikej70]

Yes

[@clarkcraig6959]

Michael, if you are not familiar with Joe Elliotts side band it's called Down n Outz. You have to listen to the live version f Funeral for a friend/ LOVE LIES BLEEDING. Joe plays keyboards and sings. It is an amazing version. One other band to check out is Guitarist Phil Collon side project band called DELTA DEEP. He sings lead vocals on two covers One of Humble Pie song Black Coffee . The second is of DEEP Purple song , MISTREATED. This version on the album has Joe Elliotts background vocals. Both groups are worth checking out live. Let the tribe and yourself leave a comment if you liked the two side groups. Or If it was your first time hearing them.

@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine if you noticed Phil's bass player is one of the brothers from STP.

I wouldn’t be devastated if Def Leppard had never started. As far as Yes goes they should rename themselves DNR. And I’m saying that as a huge Yes fan. I do like Mirror however…sorta. You know you’ve made it when they want you to stop rocking.

[@LouiePlaysDrums]

Yes died when Chris Squire died.

[@AaronLawson-fv7yd]

Why would Def Leppard retire they are still at their peak

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Right Aaron? I mean Diamond Star Halos is Superb!❤

[@AaronLawson-fv7yd]

@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine it's good album and the band is making new album by the way

[@bornagainbornagain6697]

They kick ass and kept their drummer. How many bands did that. How many bands now keep their singers when the age debrades the octaves? Hands off this band Mike they are killer rock stars and true people. Not in it for the money only. That in itself along with many many big ass kick ass hits puts them in a class all by themselves. No other band is so tight and has as much class. Hats the Fuck off Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@benjaminrupe5930]

Steve Howe has turned Yes into his back-up band. Yes died with Chris Squire.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Chris was one of Rock’s Top 3 bass players Benjamin! RIP Chris, we miss the hell out of you! ❤

[@blanketjackson8075]

Seen Def Lep a few times and Elliott has good and bad nights

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

So that’s why so many are calling retirement Jackson! Good to hear from ya btw! ❤

[@garnerearp9474]

I myself as a musician,I know it's hard to let go,I was just a local,best time's in my life, but I believe yes, foreigner,kiss, motley Crue etc,I believe ZZ top should not tour under that name,also Styx should also throw it in.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I so agree with you regarding touring under defunct names Garner! ❤

[@GlennMcloughlin-y5r]

Hi Micheal I hope you are well! Def Lepard are still an awesome live show,saw them in 2022 on there Australian tour and are still putting out great music,Joe sounded good! ZZ top on the other hand should be just called the Billy Gibbons band,even Frank Beard is not with him now. Cheers Glenn Sydney 🍺🙏

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

You are so right Glenn! They are a phenomenal live band brother! And I agree with ya regarding ZZ Top brother!❤👌

[@davej.meister5421]

Here's two others that can permanently retire - Springsteen and Mellencamp. Maybe Nugent, also.

[@davej.meister5421]

Oops. Wrong video.

[@johnsrous1616]

Def Leppard would have been good to themselves to stop touring after the early 2000's. Their music still sounded great but, to be honest they really haven't written songs with their typical cool-sounding lyrics. They always had that badass sound to their lyrics. The words they used were ones we'd echo in HS.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Thanx for your input Johnrous! The vote so far is split from what I can tell here in the comments! ❤

[@derekgoodwin4102]

ZZ Top Ramen 🍜

[@stephanevillatte5970]

Yes for Yes ... Don't know for D leppard

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Many are agreeing with you in the comments here, and on the live stream Stephane! Thanx for your input!❤👌

[@stephanevillatte5970]

@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine thanks...i'm following but to be honest I feel a bit sad tonight about the passing of Marianne Faithfull...she's been through a lot....during her life...and she had a long COVID....a real fighter...such a beautiful soul...

[@drmusic3641]

I've loved the last two Leppard releases and looking forward to the next even though I didn't care for that single they released last year, "Just like 1973". I assume in the beginning here you are talking about Z Top. Billy Gibbons keep saying there is a new album coming but then he goes ahead and releases more solo stuff. He just released another single about two weeks ago. With Dusty gone the band should call it a day, anyway. Loved your director (your wife) telling you that your image was backwards! LOL

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

You are spot on about ZZ Top Doc! Loved your take on the single! And yes, Kimberly always Keeps it real during these streams brother! 😂❤

[@jeffreyflint6286]

It may be time for Yes to retire as it's not the same anymore. Def Leppard is a maybe for me. New material will tell the tale as long as its done without pitch correction or autocorrection.

[@cmichaelanthonyimages2197]

Im a big Yes fan and since Davison has joined, the feeling of Yes music has gone. With Anderson and the Geeks creating new music and reinventing the classics, they out class the classic Yes band. Def Leopard, my wife is a big fan, but the last time we saw them was 2016. 9 years does make a difference and I did hear them recently...they did not sound that great. Its time for both to retire or Yes needs to really come up with something as classic as TFTO and try not to sound like the old yes with weak new music.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I like your analysis here Michael! Well sated with an actual history of seeing them! Thanx brother! ❤

[@cmichaelanthonyimages2197]

@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I watched a clip this morning from the new Geeks upcoming release of "I've sean all good people", and it was great. Anderson is so on his game. They put Yes to shame, and it hurts to say that.

[@KardboardKenny]

DL still around?

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Yes Kenny, but I hear that the Leppard is hard of hearing these days!😂❤😂❤

[@robiandolo]

Michael, I saw Yes last year Labor Day at the Rico Theater on Long Island, they opened for Deep Purple! Purple with McBride on guitar was fantastic! Yes, totally sucked! The keyboard player was a jerk always. Citing like he was the band leader. The lead singer was reasonably close to Jon Anderson but they were horrible! I should note I’ve seen Yes at least 12 times in my life so I think I know what Yes sounds like live!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

You’re breaking my heart Robi! Sad to hear that about a band I looked up to for so many years! ❤

[@christopherdavies3079]

The recent live album by Def Leppard recorded in Sheffield is excellent and one of my favourite albums from 2024

[@fasteagle9959]

Def Leopard is a pop band 🤮…..yes can never die 🔥

[@MS-ro9dm]

Def Leppard should have called it a day, or at least replaced the drummer after his accident. Are there any real drummers anymore since his setup became acceptable? The damage has been done.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I have to admit you have a point there MS! ❤

[@moodlefyful]

What a ridiculous thing to say.

[@ChristineKirsch-n6q]

Sick comment, def Leppard are amazing, rick allen lives up to his title, "thunder god"

[@davej.meister5421]

Yes isn't Yes without Jon Anderson. And Def Lep are only in their mid 60s. Rather see the Stones or The Who retire.

[@paolovincent6800]

I liked journey up to Captured And there still out there ? Thanks Michael

[@christopherdavies3079]

True by Jon Anderson was head# away my favourite album of 2024

[@stephenbrown4211]

Yes maybe no Def Leppard.

[@Baz63]

ZZ Top have not released an album since 2012 and are trading on past glories. As such i believe they are their own tribute band. Also Yes do not contain any original members and Jon Anderson's latest opus is more aligned to the spirit of Yes than the ,admittedly surprisingly good, Mirror To The Sky. So for me Anderson and Squire were the essential members of the band. However i'm not too bothered by Howe trading on the name if they continue to release strong NEW material.

[@lechoixdeJulie-np5wp]

No way

[@williamlangan5902]

I think Yes has been going downhill since 2008.

[@flaviopitanga65]

Some people still enjoy their concerts for me I am not interested

Why should yes retiré?
