Wasted Def Leppard

Def Leppard's Wasted, recorded and directed in 1979 by me. This is not a final edit but a rough cut from a number of takes, so it is not really the finished product.

Yeah he really ripped back then. I feel like when Phil joined, Phil did all the fast picking solo stuff and Steve played the riff and soul stuff. Steve Clark is my favorite guitar player and I prefer Pete over Phil. Phil over plays for my taste a little too much. But, that's just my opinion.

I never heard of Def Leppard until the summer before 5,th grade. It was Rock of Ages that got me liking them. I don't think I ever heard Bringing on the Heartbreak on the radio back in the day. But, I was only 8 when it came out. I don't think it got much airplay.

[@joegaul3589]

Steve Clark's role in Def Leppard went on LONG after his death. The original Demo for "When Love and Hate Collide" was done primarily by him. He was called the "Riftmaster" by his band mates for a reason. The Thunder God, however, was probably influenced by the insane amount of performers he was exposed to as a young man. I mean, come ON, he opened for AC/DC on his 16th birthday! Even so, Rick Allen's skill never lost its touch. Once again, Def Leppard is like no other band. Rock On.

I saw them on their first US tour opening up for Ozzy with Randy Rhoads on the Blizzard tour in September 1981 Joe Elliott was the oldest at 21 I think and Willis and Allen were just 17 .Of the hundreds of concerts I've been to in my lifetime this was by far my favorite and that had everything to do with seeing Randy live .

Man ... One of my first experiences of a "what happened to them" moment with a band whom I loved or one of my first tastes of one of my beloved bands COMPLETELY changing and commercializing their sound was Def Leppard. To this day, their first 2 records I hold in high regard and still spin on my turntable from time to time. The Clarke/Willis lineup. I adore those records. Then Collin replaced Willis and Pyromania hits. I felt, I dunno....betrayed is a strong word because it's an okay record, just had a ton of pop gloss added. I stuck with them through it...even saw them in '83. But they lost me once Hysteria hit and they ceased to even remotely resemble the band that dropped my jaw with On Through the Night. The major majority top-40 sector of radio/mtv music consumers loved it....and the bands bank accounts loved it even more but, I think they abandoned the fans that had bought in and gotten them to that point. Big difference between the type of listener who likes High n Dry (die hard music fans, a bands lifeblood) and Hysteria fans (fickle and come only to hear the anthem to strip clubs everywhere, "Pour Some Sugar On Me"). BIG difference.
