xp 3rd Grade me needed "Excitable."

although outside of nostalgic context I guess I can hear it possessing some annoying qualities (foreshadowing "Let's Get Rocked")

Easily my favourite band to come out of Sheffield, America.

if "excitable" was just the intro stretch out to 5 minutes that would be a good song

The Killers nicked the guitar part from 'Women' and used it as the synth part in 'Smile Like You Mean It'

I'm a HUGE Def Leppard fan ("Hysteria" is my favorite album), and I'm so glad their catalog is finally available digitally.
With that said, I've got to say the recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction news for Bon Jovi kinda bugged me, so I put together a detailed "face-off" comparing the 2 bands to show which one is REALLY more "worthy" of the honor.
I think you'll find it interesting...Feel free to share it!

posting the same post on two different threads is about as necessary as a drummer having two arms

it can be frustrating dealing with dismissive co-workers, those who are very comfortable routinely doing the same inefficient thing over and over. These folks have simply “accepted” the way things are done, and the most effort you’ll get from them is when they challenge your new ideas.

Promo photo for the forthcoming tour is textbook 'men who look like old lesbians' tbh.

Love bites, Animal & Hysteria are all still 10/10

Here in Greenville, as the second year of Trump dawned, Stormy Daniels spread out a taupe fleece blanket on stage, dropped to her knees, arched her back and began to squirt a bottle of lotion onto her chest to the sound of “Animal” by Def Leppard, as the president’s face flashed on video screens behind her.

Euphoria hitting the spot this morning. Not as familiar with this album but it seems more of a successor to Hysteria than Adrenalize was

The way the first verse of Sugar is just these massive Tackhead Test Dept jackhammer beats and nothing else for 11 seconds

I remember reading that the snare sound is this pile of sampled hand claps and just about everything but acoustic snare.

I think if this album had failed commercially it would have inspired a hipster hair metal reevaluation in the 2010s

The album that came after Pyromania. Nothing else.
Part of this is personal; Pyromania was the soundtrack to my 8th Grade, the album that burned the brightest as I tried to learn about hard rock music without the benefit of a Kiss-loving older brother or sister, the biggest gateway for all that came afterwards.
But the thing about gateways is that you move onto other things from them, and by the time Hysteria came out I was past radio fare (actually was probably dealing with that familiar stupid adolescent rebellion towards what I once loved) and was into underground stuff and the burgeoning thrash scene was as "mainstream" as I was willing to go with. Hysteria was a blip on my radar.
But part of this is more objective, since Pyromania shits over Hysteria no matter what criteria one wishes to employ.
