So, Hysteria was huge in the late 80s. You couldn't run the the stations on a radio, without hearing one of their songs. Then grunge happened and I didn't hear them on the radio, no-one discussed the band, it was almost like they never existed. They were musical pariahs.
For some reason, they've been popping up left and right this year. First time I've heard their music in decades, they are coming up in conversations,etc. Has anyone else noticed this? It seemed like ELO suffered similar treatment throughout the late 80s, all the way through 2010 or so. Now they are being "rediscovered" by younger generations. |
 DEF LEPPARD - "Lets Get Rocked" (Official Music Video) They released this fucking garbage and everyone stopped listening. Def Leppard died. |

They will probably get another bump this summer if they are included in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 soundtrack. Already showed up as music for one of the trailers. |

I liked them in the 80s, but I was a preteen and didn't know anything about music, lol. They don't stand the test of time. Guns n roses has some songs that still stand out as being excellent. Def Leppard is all 80s crap, like motley crue, tesla, poison, etc. Quoted:

I always considered Tesla a cut above your average hair band. Going to concerts back than was a really good time. |

The first two albums were the best . I saw them on tour in Germany before Pyromania got released . This was the original line up with the original lead singer and a 2 armed drummer . It was a great show . It was a 3-4,000 seat venue |

They have some good stuff. Most radio stations choose to overplay a few songs of theirs and turn people off to them.
I've hear PSSOM about 10000 time on the radio and Photograph maybe about 10 times.  Def Leppard - Photograph |

The drummer from Def Leopard's only got one arm. 
DL is my favorite band. First four albums ROCKED, Adrenalize was decent. As soon as they picked up Viv, they went into the shitter. My kids grew up listening to them on many road trips. To this day, if I put DL on in the car, it puts all three of them to sleep. My daughter loves DL, too. For her sweet 16 I bought her two tickets to Kiss and DL. She actually wanted to me to take her. That was one of the best nights of my life. Quality time with my little girl. But we forgot the ear plugs.

Have a good dozen of their songs. |
This helped with the younger generation

Favorite band as a child in the late 80s. Would love to see them in concert but now it seems every band I like only comes to Charlotte for the stupid Carolina Rebellion festival.
I got to see Avenged Sevenfold when they played the Uproar Concert (awesome show) at the amphitheater but that's the last show I went to cause I'm not standing in the middle of a field with a bunch of smelly shitheads. |

Maybe if they joined the 21st century and licensed their music to the digital subscription services they would get even more exposure and possibly make an even better living.
The Beatles, The Eagles and even that band with the motor mouthed drummer have licensed their music to the digital services. |

One of the quintessential songs of the era
