awesome

When did the drummer lose his arm?

'84 I think.

why did you choose this thread title?

I am such a big fan of Steve Clarke era Def Lep. Saw them on the Pyromania and Hysteria tours. There was so much anticipation about the Hysteria show and it did not disappoint.

Great video restoration job.

I can't separate Def Leppard from the idiots who listened tot hem when i was growing up. All of my hockey friends who became alcoholics by 12th grade and have still done nothing with their lives still go around wearing def leppard t shirts and have posters of them in their basement.

Are you older than me?

All I remember is that Hysteria was like metal but not too scary to listen to ( for an eight year old). Then they had that shitty pop phase later.

Hysteria was the pop phase. On Through The Night and High and Dry were metal or at least what was considered metal at the time and Pyromania was the sweet spot between the metal and pop stuff.

The album after called Adrenalize which was mostly unused and repurposed songs from Hysteria was even more pop though I have some fondness for it. It was mostly Mutt Lange coming up with the production for future Shania Twain records.

I was hoping after Adrenalize they'd go back to the High and Dry style but they were over it.

I look back on the live footage music video era fondly.

Def Leppard is fucking terrible.

Just an utterly execrable band. No redeeming qualities at all.
