Hysteria

[Ron Jeremy]

def leppard = sterile, over produced c**k rock by numbers.

Surely when the drummer loses an arm it is time to hang up the stick.

Love Bites ....hahahhaahahahahaaha what a load of pussy whipped dribble.

I think you'll find todays music is the one over produced in relation to technological advancements.

Love bites=awesome song

You am I= anal Australian rock :lol:

Mate I grew up on that stuff. My four bands as a young teen were Van Halen, Def Leppard, Aerosmith and AC/DC.

Now, I'll never proclaim Leppard to be the greatest band of all time or even particulary good musicians (Clark aside). But they wrote some great tracks and Hysteria and Pyromania were superb. Adrenalize was pretty decent too.

Over-produced? Absolutely.

Spandex? Yep, not that that matters.

But they'e not sell-outs. They did what they did and never strayed.

Metallica - that's what you call a sell-out

Def Lep weren't untalented, I mean Steve, Phil could play a great guitar battle.

I could think of a hell lot worse rock acts then them, and besides just look at albums sold for Hysteria, very impressive for a rock group.

Hystetria the song is one of my favourite riffs, simple with a slight use of flange but he's chilling when driving.

They weren't over produced, bands today don't even come to the recordings together, now I think constitutes being over produced.

How would you even know?
They didn't form until the early 90's.


Van halen = suck ...but I can understand your love of them.
Aerosmith = bearable
acdc = yes ...fuggin yes

but Def Leppard?????? man they suck arse very very hard.
They are so boring.
Compared to Motley crue they sound like the seekers .

you've got to take that in context - there are dozens of albums i'd choose way before Hysteria but not many of them have NO bad songs. That's what I was referring to.

I don't mean perfect in the literal sense of the word - that honour couldn't be bestowed on anyone but the closest that come to that would be:

Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine
Opeth - Morningrise
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Sting - Ten Summonr's Tales

I really like that intro to Gods of War.

They had some great talent and an original sound I reckon. Some very good songs.
