Def Leppard
Def Leppard are an English rock band formed in 1976 in Sheffield. Since 1992, the band has consisted of Rick Savage (bass, backing vocals), Joe Elliott (lead vocals), Rick Allen (drums, backing vocals), Phil Collen (guitar, backing vocals), and Vivian Campbell (guitar, backing vocals). They established themselves as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement of the early 1980s. The band's greatest commercial success came between the early 1980s and the early 1990s. Their first album, 1980's ''On Through the Night'', reached the Top 15 in the UK but received little notice elsewhere. Their second album, 1981's ''High 'n' Dry'', was produced by Mutt Lange, who helped them begin to define their melodic hard rock style, and the album's most popular track "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" became one of the first rock videos played on MTV in 1982, but the album only reached the Top 30 and 40 in the UK and US. Def Leppard's next studio album, ''Pyromania'', was released in Janua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Love Bites (Def Leppard Song)
"Love Bites" is a song by English glam metal band Def Leppard from their album ''Hysteria''. The power ballad is Def Leppard's only number-one single and penultimate top ten hit on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and became a top-10 hit in Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. On the UK Singles Chart, the track peaked at number 11. Song history and composition When Robert John "Mutt" Lange originally brought the song to the band's attention, it was a country ballad, which the band thought sounded like nothing they had done before. The band then added power rock elements and emotive backing vocals similar to those used in R&B ballads at the time. The title "Love Bites" was originally used for a very different song that was eventually re-titled "I Wanna Be Your Hero", and which appeared as a ''Hysteria'' B-side and later on the album ''Retro Active''. Musically, the song has been described as glam metal, and is considered a classic of the genre. Following the huge momentum generated by ...

Slang (Def Leppard Song)
"Slang" is a 1996 song by the English rock band Def Leppard from their gold album ''Slang''. It reached #17 on the UK Singles Chart. The song is the only one from its parent album to be played after the Slang World Tour of 1996 to 1997, with Def Leppard performing the song most recently during their concert residency of Las Vegas in 2019. Background In reference to the song, lead singer Elliot said in the album's commentary that ''Slang'' is "a bit of a throwback to ef Leppard'soriginal sound, in other words loads and loads of backing vocals" and said that "live, this song has always been a favourite with fans". The single cover features the Def Leppard logo (the 1995 variation) but ''Slang'' did not feature the logo in any variation. Video The music video was directed by Nigel Dick.

When Love & Hate Collide
"When Love & Hate Collide" is a power ballad by British rock band Def Leppard from their 1995 greatest hits album ''Vault'', written by Joe Elliott and Rick Savage. It was originally written and demoed for ''Adrenalize'', but not finalized until 1995 for its inclusion on ''Vault''. The demo version is much more heavily produced in the signature style of ''Hysteria'' and ''Adrenalize'', and the final version is more stripped down, supposedly toward the style of the following studio album ''Slang''. The original demo version contains the final recorded guitar solo by late original guitarist Steve Clark. "When Love & Hate Collide" became one of their most successful singles in their homeland, where it reached number two in the UK Singles Charts, but it failed to make a significant impact on the US charts, reaching number 58 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It did, however, become a top 10 hit in Canada, climbing to number six on the ''RPM'' Top Singles chart. The song also reached th ...

Action (Def Leppard Song)
"Action" is a self-written and produced 1975 song by British glam rock band Sweet. Background The song went through several iterations; a 7" single version was recorded at Ian Gillan's Kingsway Studios in London and slightly different versions appear on the albums '' Strung Up'' and ''Give Us a Wink''.The lyrics refer to Sweet's negative treatment as pop stars, particularly by the music press, and to the demands of the music industry. The track features a masked "backwards vocal" with the words "You kiss my arse". The first verse has a striking resemblance to the hard rock section of Queen's " Bohemian Rhapsody", which was not released for another 4 months. Lead singer Brian Connolly called it a "blatant rip-off". Chart performance The single reached No. 15 in the UK in July 1975, and went to the Top 40 in the US the following year. Def Leppard version In 1993, English rock band Def Leppard covered it on their album '' Retro Active''. "Andy '' cott' said that our version ...
