JAY LOVES THEM!| FIRST TIME HEARING Def Leppard - Foolin' REACTION

[@gaybarz]

There is not a single bad song on the Pyromania album. It's just fantastic.

[@oreally8605]

It was right behind "Thriller" by Michael Jackson in album sales. #2

[@chriswildhaber35]

This 1, and high and dry are their best albums. They went main stream after that still good just not as great. They were rock back then. I know my junior high and high school years.

[@Chloe_Eves]

Pyromania album is the best album ever 🥰 I love Hysteria too but Pyromania was definitely their best 👌

[@davemiller3245]

Wonderful album. Running off to crank up “Stagefright” now.

[@FXMAN66]

High n dry is their best album. Pyromania, a close 2nd. Nothing after comes close.

They used to stop right in the middle of the best part of a song, it was painful to true fans. But they listened to their followers’ outrage and they’re much better now.

Def Leppard's Pyromania album in 1983 hit like an atomic bomb. It's a true rock masterpiece. ... (Many music insiders thought it was a 'Studio Creation', that the band couldn't possibly sound this good Live. .. WRONG, they could perform these songs Live without gimmicks or lip syncing.)

Absolutely!! I was lucky enough to catch them in the round during their Adrenalize tour. They did not disappoint!

They still sound good! Saw them live at the "Rock of Ages" tour in Denver. Rock of Ages is a good song too.

Hey SQUAD love your channel and what you do...But there are no letters TH in the name DEF LEPPARD.

That’s what Vivian Campbell (replacement guitarist for late Steve Clark) thought before he joined band. It widely thought even by other bands that the vocal harmonies and guitar pairings were added in studio. But after he joined band his first rehearsal he was SHOOK!!!!!

I'm so jealous, I wish I could experience these classics from Def Leppard for the first time again ..but to us children of the 80s these amazing songs were an everyday occurrence. We had musical masterpieces dropped on us on a daily basis. We took it for granted and now we can only wish the new stuff was as good as this. I saw them live in '92. They rocked.

[@patricklennox9572]

This album came out when Rock was at a low, recovering from Disco, then the British New Wave, which was full of synthesizers. Even though Van Halen was still persevering, this album was the album that pushed a lot of teenaged boys over the edge and said, "That's it, I am gonna be in a band. I'm doing this!" This album hit the reset button on Rock.

Rest in Peace Mr. Steve Clark. It was said best by a man named Malcolm, one of the behind the scenes people for the group... "Steve Clark was by far the most unhappy millionaire rock stars ever." As the group said, it all seemed to come from the fact that he never got a pat on the back from his dad.

So, I was in a band in the 80's in the Jacksonville Fl. area called EXIT. We played around town at a bunch of local clubs and had a decent following. In July 1980, we played on the west side of town at a bar called Byron's, Wed through Sat, 2 - 5. Our manager was a chick that also did catering at the Coliseum down town for large shows. One night, and I don't remember which night it was, she came by with the opening band from the show she catered that night. They were young, as were we. They hung out and watched the show and drank and partied like everybody was doing. They were a band we'd never heard of before. They only had one album out, and it wasn't very good. The name of that band was Def Leppard. They were having some problems with their guitar player. A few weeks later, they made a phone call to one of our guitar players, Rob, and asked if he would be interested in auditioning for their band, to replace one of the guitar players they had. Rod said no. He's kicked his own ass every day since then. You never know who you'll run into when you're out gigging. I don't tell this story much, because most people don't believe it.

[@Jessica_Roth]

How great an album was "Pyromania"? This was the *third* single, after "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages". It didn't even crack the UK singles charts, which is really beyond comprehension. Your reaction when Steve Clark (lead guitar) lets you know what he can do was *priceless* . The Lepp have continued to be a fine band (and a strong touring act) to this day, but they definitely lost something when Clark drank himself to death in 1991. (Somebody has probably made up a hypothetical all-star band where each member died of alcohol poisoning. All I know is Clark and John Panozzo, the drummer for Styx…but you know there have to be others. Sad thought.) More Def Leppard? Let's see, you haven't done "Animal" or "Women" or "Hysteria", or "Love Bites", their only #1. And of course, there's the iconic "Photograph", the song that made them mainstream stars. I would love it if you would do the version from their 2009 concert with Taylor Swift (TS needed to break out of her country box, DL needed new fans and exposure), but I know some would consider that heresy. (Def Leppard were Taylor's mom's favorite band, which is why she picked them when she was offered a spot in the "Crossroads" concert series. It worked out well; the drummer's brother became Taylor's road manager, and since Taylor ended up breaking pretty much every tour record for a female artist, I'm sure Robert Allen made a nice piece fo change, too.) On a less-controversial note, I'd also love to see you do their cover of The Kinks' classic "Waterloo Sunset". Called "the greatest song in the history of the English language", that song has (understandably) been covered a lot of times. I love David Bowie's and Peter Gabriel's versions, but I think Leppard's is the best. JMO.

The original lineup was with guitarist Steve Clark who passed away in the early 90s. Vivian Campbell came in afterward, he's been a great addition to the band. This song is from the early 80s when Steve was still with us.

Leppard is produced very, very well.

[@monte4283]

Yep, produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange. He produced a lot of big name Artists.

[@chrisa4695]

Mutt Lange was the hot hard rock producer at the time coming off a string of platinum albums for Foreigner & AC/DC.

[@chrisa4695]

@@tonyb629 I’m familiar with Xavion. I have their album on Spotify. I didn’t know Mutt Lange produced them.

You guys did Steelheart already but you have to do their song “I’ll Never Let You Go”. You will be blown away by his vocals in that song

[@alphasonja4966]

"Electric Love Child" is right up there....
