Def Leppard

[Sonic Temple]

Any Lep fans here - if so - new Leppard is on its way. Saw them for the first time in 1991 at Maple Leaf Gardens on their Adrenalize Tour - I was hooked the day they played 'Photograph' when I was 13. Still remember the day I walked into Sam The Record Man at Eglington Square buying that record. One of the first records I bought with my hard earned Toronto Sun money, I actually bought 3 that day, Van Halens' 1984, Queens' The Works and Def Leppards' Pyromania. NIce to see them release new music.

New single to be dropped very soon as they have a counter on the website.

I am still a massive fan of Pyromania. Hysteria got overplayed, and was not as edgy. Great band though.

 

[Insidious Von]

Pyromania and Hysteria were produced by Robert "Mutt" Lange, who had the Midas Touch in the 80's. Foreigner 4 and three AC/DC albums including Highway to Hell and Back in Black.

He turned out to be a scumbag (what a surprise) cheating on his wife with her best friend...why the fuck would you cheat on Shania Twain?!

 

[Insidious Von]

I agree with poker, I enjoyed Pyromania but Hysteria did nothing for me. It was over produced, it sounded to me like good ol Mutt was having Alan Parsons Disorder.

Alan Parsons was both a producer and sound engineer.

Updated the thread to include the new single - has that 70's glam feel - not bad after 1 listen - will def. grow on me though.

I liked them. I have a few of their albums. Still play them once in awhile but I rarely get thru more than a couple of songs before changing to something else. It's fairly commercial sounding but they didnt have alot of competition at the time. They wouldn't have fared well in the 70s.

Great band. Remember buying Hysteria on the day of its release in 1987. It had been over 4 years since Pyromania and there was a lot of anticipation. The album didn't disappoint. Saw them the following year at the Montreal Forum where they played a concert in the round...good show!
My Def Leppard TOP 5 is:
1. Women
2. Photograph
3. Rock Rock Til Ya Drop
4. Foolin'
5. When Love and Hate Collide

while i have zero interest in Def Leppard and that genre of music..........i always like it when members here recollect their history of when they discovered their favorite music artists and where they bought their albums........many a Saturday afternoon i spent at Sam,s on Yonge St..searching for some new R&B stuff....nice story ST... rock on...............

I always though Alan Parsons was older than Mutt Lange, they are both now 73.

If Alan Parsons did nothing else he would be immortal for Abbey Road, Let it Be and Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd asked him to produce Wish You Were Here, he declined, he was working on The Alan Parsons project.

Hysteria was an amazing album it was just geared more to pop audiences. ie Pour Some Sugar on Me.
Pyromania was great too. Photograph. Rock of Ages. Foolin'.
