[@brianlanceabramson8652]

Hysteria is played slow. On seven strings more can be heard. It's a good way to meet. Leppard has a top 5 songs with any guitarist or stringist,now we could meet of anything discussed.

[@zolitariglussey6302]

Joel really has his head on straight and you can see why these guys are still doing so well today........

[@guitceccarfan6401]

Yeah - he's very coherent and speaks very well - great sense of humor too... Sounds alot more like a Beatle than the man who shouted 'Pourrrrr some sugarrrr on meeee!!!!' (which frankly sounds like the Beatles compared to today's manufactured i-pad drivel!)

[@baroidrig1435]

Very honest stuff from Joe. I wouldn't expect anything else. A great bunch of working class lads.

There are definitely some songs that could be hits, but never got airplay. However all of us diehard fans that listen to all their music are very aware of these songs. There are plenty that are actually much better than ‘the hits’ Joe looks awesome!!!

You don’t know why Joe????? BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE TOP 40 HITS THAN MOST BANDS HAVE IN RECORDED SONGS!!!! Very few droup’s can say that. It’s amazing just how many hits apron hits apron hits Def Leppard actually have. Amazing.

[@nellybriones8511]

i love hysteria

[@Carolyn815]

When Joe was being interviewed he said Def Leppard was in the U.S.A for the first time in 1980 and they were broke. Girls bought the guys beer and dinner and many other things and he raises his eyebrows. Like you know what I mean? I'm thinking like whips, chains and a vibrator?

[@CarolMarineMom]

Sooooo Amazing. May 25th Hershey PA,But We Didn't Get to see Phil Due to His New Baby , And Leppard played first so the lazor show wasn't As Amazing. Because it wasn't. Dark enough,, Not complaining At All, But Totally looking Forward to Next Year🇬🇧🎵🎸💙

[@johnhunt8610]

Bonnie Hundley or ask the boys, they recorded and wrote it all. Mutt Lange was just pointing the direction.

[@t-bomb-gw6fq]

I'm not going to be there because I can't afford my usual seats I get for their concerts. I'm also not going to pay $150 for the worst seat in the house. Several people have told me it's the venues that are charging that amount & not the bands.

[@corvettemustang1]

arena bands in stadiums = trainwreck i wouldnt pay a dime to see this tour BUT for shits and giggles ill follow it on youtube

[@totigerus]

I wonder what hits DL had that Joe thought weren't good enough to be hits.

[@GSHYBR1D]

Totigerus it's funny because of the songs that needed to be hits from like andrenalize didn't make it

[@jasonfeathers6804]

Tear it down hell it didn't even make hysteria yet they played it at MTV awards

[@GSHYBR1D]

Jason Feathers Tear it down as a b side was better but they made that song in two days

[@jasonfeathers6804]

GS HYBR1D almost all b sides From hysteria could of made a double album for hysteria. The band has admitted that over the years. But can you blame them for not doing a double album at the time 4 yrs for hysteria..love and affection should of been released as a single over women which is better live anyhow.

[@GSHYBR1D]

Jason Feathers Yes back then if you didn't release it as a single then the chance of it becoming a hit would be slim to none.

[@leescott2069]

Guess a rock's out of the question, Did they really put that in a song?lol.
