It's not my favorite Hysteria single, but it'll do.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 01:13 (seventeen years ago) link

each verse is T. Rex

This is pretty much what I wanted to say.

I'll take Animal or Hysteria, but what Alfred said.

Clark/Collen-era Leppard = Classic
Wearing your own band t-shirts in the video = Not Classic

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

No no no, that was totally classic! Not even Spinal Tap did that, did they?

"Animal" so far down, Good Dr.? I'm sad.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 00:55 (seventeen years ago) link

The intro to "Animal" is the shit.

Here's a tougher one for you all, maybe -- name your favorite NON-single from Hysteria. ("Run Riot" by a hair over "Gods of War," but it's VERRRRRY close.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 01:01 (seventeen years ago) link

"Run Riot" for me too.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 01:03 (seventeen years ago) link

"Gods of War" for me, but "Run Riot" is close behind.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 01:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I like "Run Riot" because it is of course The Second Great Fake Insurrection Rock Song of the Holy UK Trilogy (along with Sweet's "Teenage Rampage" and the Prodigy's "Firestarter"). I like "Gods of War" because it is frickin' majestic at the start in a way that Black Sabbath would appreciate without actually sounding like them at all, and, of course, That Ending.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 01:09 (seventeen years ago) link

the intro to "Excitable"

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 01:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, the 13 year-old Johnny Fever was pretty into that intro.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 01:19 (seventeen years ago) link

"Run Riot" is pretty much the best song on Hysteria

― Matthew OMalley (Matt-O), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 03:06 (seventeen years ago) link

"Tear It Down" is the best NON-single from Hysteria.

And yeah, I mean the original b-side, not the later re-recording.

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

each verse is T. Rex, lead-in to chorus plus most of chorus itself is Sweet, the title part is Gary Glitter.

The song also sounds like Cheap Trick - no?

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd tend to say more Cheap Trick knew all THOSE influences too. ("Elo Kiddies" as a good example.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 20:27 (seventeen years ago) link

ten years pass...

Yeah, but are you brexin' it?
(I'm a-brexin' it!)
Ooh, really brexin' it?
(Yes, I'm a-brexin' it!)

― joe elliott, Friday, 24 June 2016 18:32 (seven years ago) link

...'cause the brexit's yet to come?
