Early Def Leppard

[philouze]

Well, I posted this thread on Guitars101.com earlier on, but I figured: "Hey, fuck, do my Buddies @ Rotharmy have that too ??"

Here's what I'm lookin for:

-First Strike (demos from 1979)
-The Def Leppard E.P (can't seem to find it)
-Any show from the 1978-1981 era

BTW, if anyone has other stuff by the Leps, it'd be cool too !!!

Thanx a million, my Friends...

[philouze]

i bought Def Leppard Greatest Hits bought 40 tracks - two good ones:
Pour some sugar on me
and Love Bites
all the others sound the same! there good songs - kind of
but i just cant get into them like Van Halen

Dave or the grave!

I used to have a show from `79 on cassette.

It was recorded for the BBC "In concert" series, the one that Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix etc. did.

It included songs from their "On throught the night" album.

"Hello America", "When the walls came tumbling down", "Rocks off", "Overture" and "Wasted" were included.

The show opened with the unreleased "Glad I`m alive", which was a really good song.

Fuck knows what I did with it.

It must be out there somewhere, though.

[Mr Badguy]

"First strike" will be harder to come by.

It was only out for a short time before it was injuncted by Leppard.

It was released by their former manager Frank Stuart-Brown around 1985, no doubt trying to cash in on "Pyromania".

Leppard`s main gripe was the quality, which is allegedly not great.

I`m not sure if any CD editions exist.

Again, it will probably be on the web somewhere, but where?

Thx for the info Badguy (though I already knew about First Strike), I'll give you the time to get your tape back !!!!

[Mr Badguy]

I do have the EP.

Not the first run, but the yellow labeled second run with MSB 001 as the catologue number.

I think only 15,000 were pressed.

It might be the rarest record I have.

Cost me £10 fifteen years ago.

I don`t think I`ve played it for over ten years.

It'd be cool to hear the early demos.

They sucked balls from Pyromania onward to this day !

Fluffy gasteric bile , Mullet rock !

[Diamondjimi]

Bwahahahahahah !!!!!!

[Mr Badguy]

They started off with perms, pioneered mullets and then got those horrible early 70`s glam rock feather cuts in the 90`s.

Never has one band had so many bad haircuts.

Jesus Christ is that Joe Elliot? Well this is gonna sound weird but I seen him yesterday. Sitting in a puddle of urine, drinking wine in the alley.

[Thorman]

New Def Leppard rocks....gotta love it...

BAM

[Big Troubles]

define "rocks"? Def Leppard is anything but cool, good, rockin' or musical anymore. This is a bold statement, but Id seriously rather listen to Sammy Hagar era VH and Gary Cherone VH.

[sierra]

let me define Rocks!!!! Fuc YaH - High & Dry + First Strike. I sit on the bench all day I want to Rawk

I heard Heat Street 20 years ago. I'm gonna drip on Heat Street.


I remember Heavy Pettin. DEFLEP sound clones but still had it goin on

Does anybody remember "Rock Me"? I'm looking to be rawked by Heavy Pettin

[Beauvoir]

I love the first three Def Leppard records. After that, I have no interest in them at all.
Tons of synths, all those layered & processed backing vocals just drive me crazy.

The only live show I have is an 83 L.A. show from the "PYROMANIA" tour which smokes!
