Def Leppard will begin a residency in Las Vegas next week following in the footsteps of Motley Crue and Guns N Roses. Lead singer Joe Elliott says more of these types of arrangments in the future are something you can bet on: "It was just a matter of time before people who grew up listening to Kiss became rich enough and wanted to see a rock concert, not just some old guy with a big blue tie."
"Sooner or later Vegas was going to catch up with itself and become cool, which it did. I think we're just riding our first wave. In five to ten years we might see Slipknot and the Foo Fighters doing one of these."
