Def Leppard and their Groupies...


Does anybody here know if all 5 members of Def Leppard really did screw 100s or even thousands of women during their 80's heyday?

reply

They all took a vow of celibacy during the recording of Hysteria.

Most of the bands back then were very into that. Kinda makes you wonder how many of them have AIDS today, given at least two well known hair band guys (Ray Gillen from Badlands and Robin Cosby from Ratt) died of AIDS. And since the same groupies that were with them were probaly with a lot of others...and once each of them screwed someone with AIDS they had it and were passing it along...

They most likely have a lot of other nasty diseases, like herpes too.

And most were bisexual, you can see how they were always hugging each other and getting cozy onstage.

Technically, Robin Crosby died of a heroin overdose. Yes, he had AIDS, and other band members theorized in VH1's "Behind The Music" that Crosby was scared of dying from AIDS, so he wanted one last "fling" to send him out. He contracted HIV through IV drug use. Prolly ought to get your facts straight next time.

And how do you know for 100% sure he got AIDS that way and not from a tainted groupie? Because that's how he chose to BELIEVE that he got it?

And besides, the rest remains fact. After he got AIDS (he probably had it a while before he knew) he continued to screw groupies, who went on to screw other hair band guys, which means most of them probably have it now. And they screwed other male and female groupies, and passed it along. And then once these groupies screwed other hair band guys (and gave it to the other guys) THOSE band guys screwed other men and women and passed it along. So the disease spread on and on. Same with Ray Gillen. He got the disease, and continued to screw women at least until he found out he had it. (It's really anyone's guess as to whether either stopped screwing men and women after they knew they had it.)

Or do you live in some bubble world where AIDS does not exist if you do not want it to?

Just because they have not admitted in public that they have it does not mean none of them have it. Most of them probably do. And by the way, is Rick Savage getting a sex change or something?

First off, I'd say the whole "the guys were all screwing each other" idea is *beep* You say they hugged and what have you on stage. Tell you what. Watch ANY baseball, football, basketball, hockey, etc game.....Team scores and they hug and such. Gymnastics. The girls go out and do a great routine and they hug their team mates. Don't think that makes them all lesbians. Absolute friggin' nonsense assumption on your part.

As for the groupies thing, I have no doubt that all of the big bands (including the female bands like Vixen, etc) had groupies and had sex. But to flatly accuse them all of having AIDS is at best a big stretch and down right offensive. How about this. GET SOME PROOF. Any of them that got AIDS back in the 80's WOULD be showing it by now, being that it's been 20 years. That is an unquestionable fact. So feel free to give links to any of them that are obviously infected with AIDS now, 20 years after all of the groupie "action" that they got....

As for you...You sound like a groupie who's passed her prime perhaps. No bands want you backstage anymore huh? Did they do nasty things to you? I figure you can take a big leap and start assuming things, so I can as well. Kinda a bitch ain't it.

How the heck did you come to the conclusion that I think AIDS doesn't exist from anything I said in my post?! READ MY POST AGAIN! In fact, I DID acknowledge that he had AIDS. His actual cause of death (as in AUTOPSY FINDINGS) was technically a heroin overdose, and I was simply correcting that fact. Period, end of story. Do YOU live in some bubble world where no matter what the text says, you can misinterpret it in any way you like and think that makes you witty?

You're like one of those people who sit at the end of the circle in that game where you whisper a phrase and everyone else passes it on, so by the end of the circle, the phrase doesn't resemble anything like what was actually said.

Posters like you are why boards end up flaming...

There seems to be alot of assumptions going on in this thread, was there a shortage of condoms in the 80's? lol!
