tx_rush Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 High and Dry is awesome.....very straightforward, rocks very hard...... BUT....Pyromania is #1. IS ANYBODY OUT THERE??? Photograph is probably still my #1 Def Leppard Song. I personally refuse to dog on Hysteria...still a great album. Hysteria is the perfect song for driving at night during the summertime, roads are empty. Animal is another underrated song (I know...very pop...whatever...haterz gonna hate) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ5bS3_BCDs Hysteria is mostly amazing (Women, Animal, Rocket, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Excitable, Armageddon It, Gods of War) but Love and Affection, Love Bites and Hysteria were the start of the trouble they never really recovered from. I completely understand and agree that it was the start of trouble, I will still stand by love bites and hysteria (I don't wanna touch you too much baby...) Rocket, Gods of War...it really is a packed album 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Pyromania gets my vote despite 'Mirror Mirror' being my favorite DL song ever OFF High N Dry,and Hysteria came out my senior year of high school and I had 3 different girlfriends who loved that record.1987-1988 was good times for sure I was a junior in college when it came out. My girlfriend at the time had two older sisters, and she was a fan of stuff like The Cure because her sisters were hipsters. Because of me she bought Hysteria, Appetite for Destruction and Permanent Vacation. The sisters were NOT happy. Appetite for destruction is fantastic. Night Train...phenomenal stuff. I think that CD was in my truck for like 4 straight months at one point 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a desperate sounding song towards the end to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 High 'n' Dry for Switch 625, Let It Go (that riff that starts the album is killer), Another Hit and Run, High 'n' Dry, and No No No. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hysteria was my choice although I like the two preceding albums very much. I just like to put this album on and let it play all the way through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catherine Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Who was their lead guitarist? He was very good. Steve Clark until his death when he was replaced with Vivian Campbell. Phil Collen is also on guitar and he was an early on replacement for Pete Willis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Collen is also on guitar and he was an early on replacement for Pete Willis. Is he the one that was in the car accident? I don't know anything about them other than their music. Edit: Never mind. I see he died from alcohol poisoning. He was only 31. Just a kid. Poor guy. Edited December 17, 2016 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that is Rick , the drummer. He lost his arm while they were recording Hysteria. Steve died after Adrenalize came out. I think it was alcohol/drug related. He was 30 at the time I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 His voice has a lost a bit of oomph. Considering how he sang, that's understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It says a lot for the band too that they never sought to replace him as a drummer. If my husband ever falters in his physical therapy, I'm telling him this story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Rick has been playing the drums with one arm longer than he did with two. He just added extra foot pedals to play with his feet what he would have done with his arm. Sad thing about Steve. Way too young to die. But his alcohol and drug problem was pretty big and he mixed the two and didn't wake up one day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my husband ever falters in his physical therapy, I'm telling him this story. Yeah it does. It's quite an amazing story. There is a DVD documentary where they share that period of their lives. I have it but I can't remember the name of it. It's probably on YouTube or Netflix too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwed up his voice in the long run. If Photograph, Foolin and Rock Of Ages weren't such big must play hits, I don't think they would even play anything off the album now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
