December 11 2011 - What do you get when two giants of rock combine: you get fights, you get groupies, you get ex-rocker mums getting their baps out, but last of all you get a bloody good show.

When combined into one line-up the pairing is one likely to surpass the wet dreams of any leather clad fan of in your face rock. Tommy Lee's rollercoaster drum set was in tow and Def Leppard's shirts were off, so by all means the boxes were ticked.

Last night they hit Manchester's MEN arena to huge applause from a fanbase still is big as it was back in the day.

Def Leppard and Motley Crue are two bands who have been to hell and back only to stand proud to tell the tale years later. Long live the gods of metal...
