Urban Hat€monger ?

But look at it from Def Leppard's perspective.

When was the last time that band had any sort of mainstream prime time exposure?

1987?
1988?

Nobody save a few diehard fans give a toss about anything you have done since , your album & ticket sales have plummeted through the floor and you're probably making hardly any money in the intervening 20 year period.....

And then you get a call to appear on prime time American TV.

You'd be a fucking idiot to turn that down whoever you are. Hell , Forget the money (Which probably wasn't that much anyway) you'd probably do it just to show that you're still around in the hope that it gets a few more bums on seats for your next tour.

Besides I don't see what the big deal is. Virtually all bands mime in music videos as well , how is that any different?
