Posted: 6/13/2008 6:59:13 PM | | I grew up on them as well. I don't mind their new stuff, but I think Pyromania was their best. I think that was their most "metal" album ever. Mind you, there are some tracks from "Yeah!" that were pretty rockin'. | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 2:18:33 PM | Hey squad, Def Lep fan here. I'm going to see them in Hamilton, ON with Billy Idol this summer. Hysteria is a great album! I find it unfortunate, though, that many Def Leppard fans (and rock fans in general) are stuck in the '80's where the band is concerned. They have been making new music all along and don't get any credit for it. Right now, I'm really enjoying their new album "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge". To you, tecnic, Joe's 'real name is Pete Willis Elliott'......you're funny.

Are you trying to be funny?
Pete Willis was the original guitarist who got fired or quit (depending on who is telling the story) and was replaced by Phil Collen. Pete played on On Through the Night & High N Dry (their best and closest to real metal IMHO). | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 6:24:13 PM | | To me, their best work were their first two or three albums up to Pyromania. That period was their best. After Hysteria, they very simply got too commercial for my taste and lost that "raw" sound that definied their earlier works. I saw them in concert years before they "hit it big" and then I saw them a few years ago. Almost two different bands, actually. | |

Posted: 6/21/2008 1:40:10 PM | I love Hysteria, its probably my favourite album of all time.
Mutt Lange did a sterling job producing that album, as well as High N Dry - a classic hard rock album.
If you like the production of Hysteria try Rush's album Power Windows - also superb. | |

Posted: 6/21/2008 6:08:09 PM | | Me, Me, ME! Big Def Leppard fan. First concert I ever attended where you had to pass through a metal detector to get in the building, which was kinda weird. | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 4:20:26 AM | Def Leppard where one of the first bands that got me interested in playing the guitar.
I dont really care for much after the RetroActive album, but everything before this is great, especially the first two albums! | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 6:04:20 AM | Def Leppard is a good band but they are not the greastest ..... to me they r better then U2 n the hip....
but they cannot compete with the godfathers of metal .....
in the 80s they were one of the top bands throughout that decade. but they r not real metal ... more British glam. | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 8:10:38 AM | Def Lep was my first concert. I still remember the day....Nov. 7, 1992. I was 14 years old. My eldest sister took me. It was (sadly) after the passing of the late great (and highly underrated) Steve Clark, but the experience still blew me away.
I stopped buying their albums after "Euphoria," because all of them started to sound exactly the same after awhile--same sound, same production value. It got old. Although I did buy their covers album "Yeah!" That was probably the best album they've had out in about ten years.
I love "Hysteria,", but my favorite album by them was 1996's "Slang." It wasn't their most popular, but I loved it because it was more of a departure from their traditional sound. They were experimenting with different musical styles and I really loved it. I had hoped that they would continue that with their later albums, but wouldn't you know, they went right back to their formulaic album style with the next record.
I still see them whenever they come into town. They are still a great live band.

Posted: 6/23/2008 8:01:42 PM | Hello...I'm more of a Journey fan, having listen to then in 1978..limp biscuit tour...But I will say that Def Leppard ranks in my top 4. Hysteria is a good album, so it Retro active! | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 7:59:40 AM | Gonzo, try their X album. Its a departure from Euphoria and has more of the Slang type songs on that album (Cry & Gravity)

Posted: 6/27/2008 12:43:33 PM | | I'm a big fan of Def Leppard. Unlike most people, I didn't get into them until Vault. I became an instant fan and went out and bought all of their old stuff. However, I also love their new songs. And they are great every time I see them in concert, unlike a lot of other artists. "Pour Some Sugar" is still my all-time fave. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 4:30:16 AM | | Hell ya Def leppard still rocks . Although I perferred their Pyromania album. All of their music though is awesome to listen too, but the sounds on the Pyromania album just kicks a little bit harder. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 10:51:23 AM | Not a great fan of their music, but I share the same home town (Sheffield), as Joe. I was a DJ back in the late 70's early 80's & I knew Joe, we even shared the same girlfriend once!
In fact I think he still has some of my Japan vinyl albums the sod!! | |

Posted: 6/29/2008 1:04:55 PM | | A lot of people seem to rave about Pyromania, but man, does that album need some serious remastering. Its sounds so dull. I believe Mutt used to play back the masters so often when mixing and replaying, that he actually started wearing the coating off the reels. | |

Posted: 6/29/2008 7:25:04 PM | | Def leppard is awsome one of my favorites. | |

Posted: 6/30/2008 3:49:59 PM | | Excitable from the Hysteria album is a great song. But my favorite son g by them is Let's get Rocked. | |

Posted: 6/30/2008 5:05:28 PM | | I love Def Leppard, however I can't help but have a little chip on my shoulder over their stature as the Saviors of MTV in the station's formative years. Due to the popularity of "Photograph" on MTV, we can thank Mr. Elliott and the boys for such ethical trainwrecks as "My Super Sweet Sixteen." | |
