O/T Were Def Leppard any good or just a 2nd rate Bon Jovi?

I'm leaning towards the latter, their music doesn't seem to aged well at all to me.

Is he available on loan and can he defend?

[great_fire]

I lke the song "Hysteria" but most of their other songs seem to have very "forced" choruses.

[sawmiller]

Aye, I know you like 'hysteria'

could be plenty of that tonight...

Paid 50p to watch them in The Dickens Inn back in the day. Didn't think they were much cop then and still don't.

We have a lot in common with Def Leppard. They had a drummer with one arm. We have a few defenders with one leg.

I preferred Barry Manilow

[Pattylallacks2]

Didn't we all!

Was watching Punk Britania at the BBC last night. If there's a better intro than Pistols Pretty Vacant tell me, songs not bad either. Def Leppard & Bon Jovi forgettable.

GF:neither a patch on the inventors of that genre: Deep Purple. Richie Blackmore and Ian Gillan and all that. Get the Made in Japan LP: superb live rock music at its best. In fact i would say this was arguably the best live album made by any band.
