Originally posted by mattiew23m They then go on to say "He is was a modern day wannabe frank sanatra." Then when of the guys tried to sing the song, and they said "Well, you could always become a paramedic or some bull crap job if the singing gig doesn't work out."
I'm a Def Leppard fan but, lets face it, Def Leppard obviously doesn't appreciate where they came from.
They really only had 4 good CDs - High n Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria and Euphoria. Their new greatest hits package includes stuff it shouldn't, and isn't inclusive of some great stuff - like 'Demolition Man'.

Ahhh the teenage years. If you're a boy your voice is changing from high to deep, and if you're a girl your voice is changing from no to yes.
It was all about knocking off VH, they were the greatest, and no band has managed to come close. You can just hear the Lep boys talking amongst themselves. "Hey if we add synth we'll sound fresher than VH, and how 'bout some lyrics that will ruin Dave, hmmm... what about "i got your number on my wall, but i ain't gunna make that call, cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby, crazy, CRAZY" Now that song drips cheese, it's like the man wrote it himself. Sammy Hagar, what a guy!
I'm very proud of what was that band and what was that show and what it did mean to people. It disgusts me that it has turned into the complete opposite. That it now represents everything that I spoke against, that we suppoesedly represented the converse of. I don't want to have to remember that the team turned into that. Makes me question what the team was while I was a member. Was it all bullshit? If nothing else, it confirms in my mind that from my standpoint - yours truly, David Lee - not a fraction. If nothing else, this kind of morbid, wounded animal anger aimed my way has caused me to look deep into that bathroom mirror and come back to you with "my shit was legit." It was for real. And perhaps the test is time. Because here I am, a decade and a half later, haven't changed much. I look a little different, but not much. My sense of humour is about the same.
Originally posted by Terry Far as Lep bustin on Dave nowadays, well, they're not really in any position to say anything about him. Definitely agreed that Leppard totally wasted an opportunity when Viv got into the band, but Campbell must be content, because he stayed in the band. But by the time Campbell got into the band, Lep was already all done anyway. Without Steve Clark wailin' and Mutt Lange producing and helping with the songwriting, the Leps have proven they're not anything special.
Fuck 'em ..Leppard have been shit since they fired Pete Willis.
Are they still sportin' Mullets ?
Those homos are as cheesy as Hagar !
Let's all watch as they drift into obscurity..........
See for yourself !
Originally posted by BrownSound1 Fuck Def Leppard...they did 3 good albums, and then they sold out like a bunch of punk ass bitches. Dave has NEVER EVER claimed to be Heavy Metal, and I believe his description for his music was always BIG ROCK.
Here's a fact...Def Leppard cannot write a song without the help of Mutt Lange. Think about it...a lot of their early stuff sounds a bit like AC/DC, and most of their later stuff sounds like Shania Twain.
Perhaps Rick Allen would have done well to have had Dave as his EMT....he might not be playing the fuckin' snare drum with his FOOT.
Yes, and took them longer to make HYSTERIA then it took...well...VAN HAGAR to make all of their albums together!
