This years grand final entertainment. James. A step up from the usual tripe that the RFL attract.

But compaired to Def Leppard at the NFL London regular league game it's still pretty lame.

Not one of the better bands to come out of Manchester, but it could be worse.

'still pretty lame'???? they're amazing!!! Sold it for me (oh, that and Fartown will obviously be playing.....)

Trust them to finally pick a decent band when I'm not going.

NFL annual turnover: $9bn

RFL annual turnover: £14.5m

Not sure how much money has to do with it, def leppard Yorkshire band has any body bothered asking them to play at GF or CC. Don't ask you don't get.

Well, if you want cheap tickets and discount codes for the GF then you'll get budget entertainment. IIRC the NFL games at Wembley were pretty expensive to attend.

a crap band, even at their height, even their "best" song didn't make the top ten.

to be fair, chart success isn't always the measure of what makes a good band. they're decent, not great, but have a much bigger nal of well known songs that most people realise



their most well known song reached no.2

Laid ?

As if "the top 10" is the yardstick for crapness! (Are you a big Joe Dolce fan?)



Any band that God (Neil Young) picks to play a series of gigs as his support is, objectively, not a "crap" band.



I'm no James fanatic but they are a fine band to watch, nowadays so crap that they most recently headlined on the Friday at Bestival last month - and got invariably [url=http://www.supajam.com/review/show/Camp-Bestival---James-1fine reviews.[/url. My lad was there and he says they were excellent and went down a storm. On that basis alone, seeing them for free at the GF is a bit of a coup, tbh.



I'm not that into The Smiths either but although they hardly ever troubled the "Top 10" I don't think many would cite that as evidence they're "crap".

Def Leppard were made for the NFL. Inane chants in a stadium is right up their street. Awful band who promised so much in their early days. They should have got The Temperance Movement to do it for me. Good party band.

Rather them than Def Leppard any day
