As a teenage boy in the 80s who moved on from Pyromania and Metal Health to being way more into the big four of thrash by 1987, I will say that if you wanted any chance of having a girlfriend, you still made sure to keep a copy of Hysteria in the car!
Great insight! :)
You are 100% spot on
Spelled "Appetite for Destruction."
I LOVED Pyromania. Shout, Out of the Cellar, Metal Health, Diary, Blizzard, Last in Line all led to Lightning, Live Undead...and the rest- by freshman year in 1986, I had a white Epiphone Strat and by Jr. year was in a thrash cover band playing Roller Rinks and bars.
Best days of my life.
@@lsu1992 No thrash kid in '86 could honestly deny coming up through those classics you mentioned. I personally hated that there became such a split by '87 or '88. Shit got really tribal though!
And YES, I remember playing a prom around 1988 with a band covering Indians by Anthrax and Aces High by Maiden... at a prom! Those were the days for sure.
Those were the days brother for real
As a headbanger at the time from 79-83 I was at a party and the headbanging sortve morphed into a heavy metal dance with bands like def Leppard even tho the first 2 albums rocked !!
Def Lepp was absolutely huge in NY (in 1982) and i moved to Raleigh NC. Was in a Record Store and saw Pyromania and almost ran over half the people in the store to grab it and pay! It was Jan 1983. It’s still a favorite that no matter how much I listen to it, I never get tired of it.
Some Girls of Stones and 5150 are others I’ve been through multiple copies and still love today
Man....as someone who grew up in the age this all happened, you NAILED it! I agree with your assessments of all the albums...DEAD ON. I still love and respect the band...that rock of ages video was an eye opener!
My first Def Leppard was a copy of a cassette my buddy had of High n Dry, that was months before Pyro came out. I remember when Hysteria came out, it was maybe a bit of a disappointment, but it was a must have in your car or home when the ladies were around. It grew on me quickly actually....especially songs like "Gods of War" and "Armageddon It" both reminded me of "Billy's Got A Gun" and "Die Hard the Hunter" on the previous Pyro.
I was 16 when Pyromania came out. Metal Health from Quiet Riot hit shortly after but there is one thing people tend to forget. In 1983, nobody released anything for a long time. These two albums had the spot light all to themselves and it blew up in popularity because we had nothing else new. QR Come on feel the noise was a cover song from 1973 released by Slade which the re-release actually brought Slade out of hiding. Y&T released Black Tiger later in 83 but by that time DL and QR were ruling the roost. Def Leppard has never been the same since Pyromania and I still believe High N Dry was their last and best gritty offering. I've seen Def Leppard many times and they NEVER play anything from On through the night album and almost nothing from High N Dry. It's as if they forgot where they came from. Hysteria was the last album I bought and I was disappointed because they really went down hill from there. Their concerts primarily consist of Pyromania and Hysteria songs with a couple later inputs here and there. They went soft on us and never went back to the way they were.
I agree, High N Dry was the only album I respected. Would have been cool if they opened up their show with Switch 22.
night ranger -dawn patrol 1982,,,my girlfriend turned me on to it and all her girlfriends were big fans of this album ,,,,well before pyromania and every bit as impactfull
Y&T released "mean streak"in '83
I know the DL boys have mellowed over the vast years but how much of that grittiness we loved was gone w the departure of Pete? Hysteria is such a way more polished album tho they put a lot of tyme into it w designing the new kit for a one handed drummer .. gotta espect all the eras of DL .. these guys never stopped .. like bon Jovi (til recently) n iron maiden they never quit
That's right, it was mean streak in 83. Hey, it's been a while. 😂 Never have I doubted Def Leppard's ability to strive forward and overcome the hurtles that no band should have to face. I mean your Drummer lost an arm,,,,he still plays. There is no way not to respect that. But their softness that has followed wasn't because of a handicap, it's just that they went radio minded. They became a harder pop band like a foreigner, REO, Survivor, Journey and so on. I'm not saying it's totally a bad thing but they never returned to the likes of the first 3 albums and it's hard when you are used to hearing a band a certain way and then they are not. I'll always enjoy Def Leppard and I do like Hysteria, just not as much as the 3 previous albums
I resonate with everything you've said about how you discovered Pyromania, searched out their earlier albums & eagerly waited for Hysteria. I was that kid too! And I was very disappointed with Hysteria (and after enduring the wait), where Def Leppard shrugs off their AC/DC vibe & embrace their inner Foreigner. Lastly, I also think High & Dry is my favorite from their catalog. 'Leppard was always at their best rocking it hard. Hysteria put the 'hair' in 'hair metal'. Thanks for another detailed retrospective!
"Inner Foreigner" lol.
Thank you for bringing that forward! We are very close.in age and opinion. I always really liked Pyromania but never thought of the connection to all the bands mentioned. Makes sense and seems obvious after poiting it out.
Great job, keep up the great work!
There were 3 must have albums at that time..the 2 mentioned, Pyromania and Metal Health, along with Stay Hungry. Played them all the time...
Piece Of Mind, Headhunter and Screaming For Vengeance
Out of the Cellar RATT
Shout at the Devil MOTLEY CRUE
Ride the lightening METALLICA
On and On
night ranger dawn patrol 1982
Yeah in January 83 I was in 8th grade and I remember a kid coming up to my school classroom and freaking out saying check this out this is the new Def Leppard album, I was a massive Zeppelin and Rush fan so I was just kind of like okay with it
lol we probably would've gotten along well. I was still stuck in the classic hard rock era as well. But I remember really latching on to bands like Ratt, Dokken and Twisted Sister. Edgier the better for me.
The deeply immersive audio quality of Hysteria, and the amazing drumming comeback of Rick Allen made up for the pop direction of the band. The band that made Pyromania was getting more exposure, and I was OK with that.
We recorded an album in Miami in 1983, at legendary Criteria Studios,
and told them, "We want it to sound like Pyromania"...which was brand new and super digital, which was new...
Great video! I've found some elements of Pyromania on Turbo by Priest, released in 1986. Halford & co wanted to broaden their fanbase with a Hard Rock album and catchy songs in heavy rotation on the radio and MTV. And many old fans were disappointed!
Turbo definitely had some new 80s elements. A lot of fans hated it. It caught me off guard, but I didn't mind it.
@@francescogambino1419 Guess they really did have “another thing coming.”
Both DL and QR were around the same time. so I think them both were helping others decide add Van Halen into the mix and you got a hard rock trio of influencers.
night ranger dawn patrol was released the year before ,dl and qr ..i give them the credit for forging the hard rock /pop edge style before dl
I was 13 in 1987 and if this album wasn't what it was it wouldn't have been possible to be what it became . It departed fans but gained a ton more.
Until I saw this, I actually didn’t know that Pyromania came out so much earlier than Metal Health. (I was a toddler in 1983). Metal Health may have kicked down the door for the Sunset Strip glam scene, but Pyromania must have opened doors beyond that …!
Van Halen wasn't getting a lot of radio play but and barely on MTV at all so yeah Def Leppard was definitely flying the flag until Metal Health.
I totally agree that Pyromania was a breakthrough album for Def Leppard in and in my opinion better then Hysteria. It helped define a more polished, radio-friendly hard rock sound and pushed the band into the mainstream. But to claim that Def Leppard paved the way for bands like Bon Jovi and Whitesnake? That’s a bit of a stretch-especially since Bon Jovi come out around the same time. If that logic holds, you could just as well argue that Loverboy and Bryan Adams came first too.
Another interesting point is that Def Leppard’s success was largely driven by the U.S. market. In Europe, they were still an opening act all the way up until Hysteria, and even that album wasn’t an instant success out of the gate.
"women" was the first single off hysteria so it didn't take off anywhere right away😮
Great content again 🙏✌️🏴🇦🇺
Saw The pyromania tour sometime in '83, John butcher axis, Krocus, and Def Leppard as the Headliner! Great show in Nashville. Then I saw hysteria tour with Tesla opening in Murfreesboro Tennessee, a bigger arena, in the Round! I remember on the radio the first single for Hysteria was Women! And then like the album just kept on going and going and going, each single was released until I guess pour some sugar on me like A year and a half later or something! They covered a lot of ground! Seem like that record was popular forever! After that I don't remember them putting out anything that I liked! I saw them at Starwood amphitheater in probably 1990 with Cinderella! We jumped the wall, While don't know what you got till it's gone was playing!!! Then I saw them on the roof of a bar in Nashville they were on the ground playing like in 1999 or 2000 it was awful! Not impressed at all, cuz they were great live in the '80s!
I saw them with Tesla too, in SLC. And yes, I remember when Women came out and I thought..."Meh." and I think everyone else did too. And like you said, it took a while, but when Pour Some Sugar hit, that did it. They were huge. I think almost every song on that album had radio play in our market at some point. That's cool you saw Cinderalla then, that's a band I never saw.
@audiomover that show in the round with Tesla was really good, , Tesla on their first album, they did a really good job opening for D.L. , I'm a cowboy of the modern day ! And Cinderella is very underrated! They real sounded great , their first album some dude turned me on to them in Highschool, I couldn't believe a band called Cinderella rocked so hard !!!!😂😂😂
nashville municipal auditorium saw night ranger open for kiss 1983,,
,i think if night ranger would have opened for def leppard night ranger would have gave def leppard a run for their money
@andy57167 I was at that show! It was Superbowl Sunday, and there was a Christian group outside municipal auditorium protesting the concert ! And channel 2 , 4 , and 5 news was covering it, they stuck microphones and everybody's face as we were walking in! My brother-in-law said don't say nothing just go in!!! That was pretty wild, I was 14 and stoned off my ass !!! Ha hA, I remember the tank, blowing stuff up that Eric Carrs drum set was sitting on!!!! Night ranger was awesome too! They were really good!!!
Judas Priest. "You Got Another Thing Comin'" started the "Heavy Metal" radio airplay trend in my era, with the video too and MTV...Ozzy too
While Pyromania has obvious effects on the hair metal music that followed, it was the sound of Rick Allen's "Black Beauty" snare that captured Lars Ulrich's ear. So deeply according to Flemming Rassmussen, that the snare drum was flown to Sweet Silence studios in Copenhagen and is what is recorded on the Master of Puppets album. Check the thank you section of the MOP liner notes for the cryptic shout out to the drum.
I was right there along with our host here in the disappointment of the Hysteria Album I was reverse of the host I bought the High N Dry Album just after it had come out. But it was very hard to find in Canada. The reason they became so successful on Hysteria was because they stopped being the Rockers that we had loved and became a compromise. They compromised what THEY had BEEN and WANTED to be from the start of their careers in order to do what they did. Which to me was Not the way to go or live or be an ARTIST. That made them into only a Commodity. I don't care what the sales were that they did. But that's also why they got so big. They became "All things to all people" in a sense. They were "Saccharine" as one of their lyrics say. It was sweet. TOO SWEET. As well they lost their EDGE, FIRE, URGENCY! They lost all of their danger and swagger and anger and angst. Which made them palatable to the masses. Not something special to those that loved what they were and had wanted to be from the start. Plus the loss of the guitarist that was one of the big writers (He did it to himself unfortunately by becoming a drunk). AND YES "High N Dry" Was and STILL IS their best Album Ever!! IMHO.
On through the night took a week to record, High and Dry a couple of months and Pyromania aprox 9 months.
Hysteria took 3. 5 years, there were no real drums on Hysteria as with Pyromania, Mutt dealt with that. The hold up was writing material and dissecting the album within an inch of it's life, this was to be Mutt's Magnum Opus, it was a pop album and he needed someone to tour with his pop songs, their original sound had been eradicated by this point.
Phil, Mutt's mouthpiece stating THEY wanted to make something totally different to Pyromania, is quite laughable, it was Mutt's project.
Jim Steinman knows the truth and was paid very well to keep stum, those recordings he made with them would have shown exactly what Def Leppard were capable of at that point and they will never see the light of day.
Yes, and good on them.
I think Night Rangers Dawn Patrol (1982) was the start of this change in rock/pop as far as I remember ,,yes pyromania was big ,,,but Dawn Patrol had already set the stage...saw them in 83 open for kiss and they absolutly kicked ass.
i wouldnt give def leppard all the credit
Fair point. I liked NR too but they were always just *this close to nailing it. Lep had better songs.
What I find is that you and I have had the exact same experiences, in a vacuum hysteria is an incredible record on its own, but it was a huge letdown from the first three. Took me a very long time to appreciate it.
In a vacuum, exactly!
Our experiences are almost identical. You've said it for me here.
Very cool! I'm glad it resonated. It's really interesting to look back at al of this and the impact it had.
Always felt the same way about Hysteria, it was a little too popular. I actually like Adrenalize better but Pyromania is still my favorite.
I saw DEF LEPARD. Open for Billie Squire spring of 83 in Atlanta, they killed it, have seen them at least 10 - 15 times over the years , lost count, most recently this past summer, they are still amazing
Give On Through the Night another shot with Pete Willis in mind and it's Solid...Answer to the Master is my fav...
I feel the same way as you. When Hysteria came out, I was a bit disappointed because it did NOT sound like the earlier albums. I do think it's a pretty good album but I wanted more of the Pyromania sound. I seen them "in the round" on the Hysteria with Tesla being the opening act. I thought Tesla was the better band, but Def Leppard had a swagger about them and of course, the majority of the audience were there for DL. I can appreciate Hysteria these days a bit more, but I still think it's subpar compared to Pyro and High N Dry.
Definitely an 80s metal staple, yes kids that was metal, lol. Came out when i was 9. Bought it immediately. Wore the grooves off the record. Totally agree that thrash peeps in the later 80s and into the 90s rocked this when they were kids. Hysteria was a huge letdown for me but i still bought is and listened to it but it became a girlie record. Now that im much older i really do like Hysteria and still listen to it often but also run through tracks from pyromania.
Definitely in the beginning it was a let down. I was brought up on high n dry. Pyromania was a pleasant surprise when it dropped. So, Pete Willis and Steve Clark were the driving force behind the leppard I know and love. I guess me getting older kinda mellowed out along with them.
Listen to Bryan Adams record Waking up the neighbors. It has the same sound as Hysteria. Same producer i guess.
I don't think I can agree with you more. Most may say everyone in the 80's copied Bon Jovi - but I can see his 7800 Fahrenheit totally influenced by Pyromania - and therefore - the 'hair metal' genre comes to light.
And Hysteria was GIANT (same year as Appetite For Destruction). Go listen to KISS 'Read My Body' and compare it to probably the biggest 80's rock song 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' - identical.
Oh - I saw Def Leppard open for Billy Squier too!!
Def Leppard never wanted to be clumped in with heavy metal. They believed that they had more in common with Duran Duran than Iron Maiden
That was Joe's revision. In summer 1980, when I first saw Def Leppard and soon thereafter purchased their debut album, they were indeed still a New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band. It was obvious Def Leppard's sound and performance were influenced by UFO, Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest.
@@acorn-yy1gi I agree. Their first 3 albums are NWOBHM.
@@acorn-yy1gi WHAT? High N Dry was "New Wave?? There wasn't a keyboard anywhere near it ad it was all what I would have called it Very Hard Rock. Period. It wasn't just Metal either.
@ Do you know what NWOBHM means?
@@acorn-yy1gi New Wave of British Heavy Metal. But it looks like you didn't read my entire post. I said that DEF LEPPARD never wanted to be clumped into the NWOBHM. The same way Led Zepplin do not consider themselves heavy metal.
Hysteria sucked as a def leppard album. But then again, they were never pre-hysteria since.
Wasn’t for me. First 3 great. Rest of them…..I’ll pass.
Pyromania is just a great album. This this the black album before the black album.This album gave thriller a run for the money on the charts for over a year. My personal favorite is on through the night. I was done with them by hysteria. It was too sugary by that time.
I was 12 in 1983, alot of great albums in "83 ,Motley Crue Shout at the Devil, QR metal Health but one Album that changed my life was Iron Maiden Piece of mind I started to explore Metallica and the big 4 and saw Pyromania as a commercial pop album compared to them
100% re Hysteria losing the hard rock edge. I waited a looooooong time for it to come out and really didn't know what to make of it. It left me wondering what they could have done with Jim Steinman. Granted, he had his own VERY particular style but as the years go by, I progressively think more and more that Hysteria could've been something much more interesting.
I saw them back when High and Dry came out in 1981. They were kids. The original band before Phil. 😊 Hysteria was the last good album.
See I came to Def Leppard first via Hysteria. And loved it
Only afterwards did I go back to Pyromania and thought it was also great but not as well produced as Hysteria. Even though at the time it was considered very well produced.
The power of expectations
This!!!
A lot of people say bands copied AC/DC, but you could say Def Leppard copied AC/DC and then the other bands copied Def Leppard.
Kix, Great White and any number of bands can be put in this category. That's the music biz in a nutshell. One band hits it big and 20 more try to copy it.
It happened in the 80's and then the 90's with Grunge.
Ratt, Twisted Sister, W.A.S.P. etc. I could fill up the whole page....
Mutt Lange pioneered Pop Country with Shania Twain...
I loved early Whitesnake. Hated the pop metal version.
I don't think pyromania and hysteria are that dissimilar from each other.. they're both great albums and both have the def Leppard signature sound of drum heavy, snare heavy breaks on choruses. And def Leppard are and extremely good live act.
When you listen to Pyromania now, you can hear that they were headed that direction. They do have many similarities.
Animal is fave on Hysteria (Sugar is great too) but Anima is the best
Can we truly count Quiet Riot if they were simply covering a song previously released by Slade?
Joe Elliot was one of the last to see Bon Scott. Joe lent Bon a bottle of whiskey at the party the night Bon passed away. Joe quote "Bon still owes me a bottle of whiskey, and I'm looking forward to sharing that bottle he owes me, with me" AC/DC connection .... RIP Bon 🙏 a true Aussie larkin. Australia misses ya mate . Metal 4eva oi ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
Loved the first 3 albums , they started losing me with hysteria ....
I was a kid when these were out. I felt Pyromania was over produced and the songs sounded the same. Hysteria was worse because hair metal and pop metal was already tired sounding to my ears.
People are not gonna like that take but I don't concur that those records had that large of an impact
Dude, this was spot on right up until you said “they weren’t a good live band…” they were, in fact an incredibly great live band! I saw open for Squire- they killed, saw Hysteria tour- amazing and just recently this past summer and I was gob smacked. They, more than any other band in the 80s cared what they sounded like live, and didn’t use tapes (unlike Bon Jovi in the 80s)
I bought Hysteria cassette the day it came out. I ripped the packaging open,threw it in my car's tape deck..... and I was disappointed. I expected high n dry or pyromania rocking hard! I haven't felt the same about them since. Really? I waited 4 years for this?
87 first time hearing DL, Hysteria was poppy, very catchy, good musicianship, but still poppy cause even the "cool" kids liked it, so I did not pay much attention, continued with my Priest, Maiden, Dio, Sabbath and so on. DL since late 90's one of my top 20 favourite bands, as grew older....
Yeah, Hysteria was the same for me. It was a let down, although I do enjoy some of the songs. A bit too long of an album as well. High N Dry and Pyromania were top notch Hard Rock albums 🧐
You mean to tell me Def Leppard basically started the Cock Rock Genre?! Quiet Riot & Def Leppard we’re my two favorites as a ten year old kid! When I heard and saw the video for Pour some sugar on me, I literally shit my pants with disgust! I’m thinking what’s with this pretty poppy crap! Never bought that album or any of their albums after that ever! I was so disappointed! And I don’t think all of those band that were great hard rock bands back in the day wanted to change their sound, some obviously did, but I think it was the record companies, so they could make as much money as they could. I’m sure some bands wanted to, also. But I don’t think all those bands did really. That’s why I’m glad bands like Alice N Chains came along an busted up the Cock Rock Genre. But I remember watching the movie about Def Leppard and it wasn’t maybe a few years after they made Hysteria and I don’t know how fully true the movie was, but I remember a part in the movie where Steve C. was playing the Pour Some Sugar riff and he played it with this darker minory sound to the riff and it sounded way better and then it shows Phil C. said no, the riff goes like this…….and it’s how the riff is actually played, sounding way too pretty an poppy and then the camera pans back at Steve C. an Steve just rolls his eyes like, that sounds so gay and it sucks, lookin at his facial expression….. So I don’t know if there’s any truth to Steve not liking that song or even most of the album or what? But I was just watchin a Phil Collin short RUclips video and he said that actually Joe Elliot came up with the pour some sugar riff and Mutt Lange said, what’s that? Play that again? So Mutt obviously had a hand in that poppy shit! But does anyone know if there’s any truth to Steve Clark maybe not liking the riff or maybe that song at all? Anyone? 🤘🏼 ✌🏼
There were so many copycat bands that GnR and Nirvana came along to flush the crap down the toilet
I liked Def Leppard from All Through The Night up till Pyromania, High n Dry being their best. Pyromania was a little too overproduced, and then the Mutt Lange Wall Of Sound took over and I lost interest. They became too commercial, a hard pop band.
Pyromania might have been a little overproduced but I think it was their best overall album as far as song writing. There are songs I like more than songs on Pyromania but I just feel like it was a better total album. Hysteria lost me completely.
High N Dry was a very good album. However, their best album was On Through The Night. 🙂
On through the night
You are allowed to say you don't like Hysteria , lol.
Leppard were in a perfect possition, sales wise to wipe up after Pyromania, the rock fan thought they would be getting something akin to Pryro or High and Dry and the mainstream thought that another Photograph sounding acceptable rock album would come, so everyone bought it. They went full on pop but with the outward vision of appearing to be a guitar band, but they were not, there were hardly any guitars on it.
The rock fans were too polite to question it at the time and would have been lampooned by the mainsteam buying public if they had voiced their dissapointment, much as now with Tallor Swift fans, it's like a religion, with the Swifty fans closing ranks on anyone who dares to disagree with the masses.
It is here their fans devided, there became a cavernous devision of before and after Hysteria fans. Unfortunately in the ensuing years they could neither write a great pop or rock album.
It's called selling out.
AC/DC did more 3 years earlier? Did they forget about them? It was only 3 years old when written
Do yourself a favor. Go listen to the last few seconds (the whispers) of Love Bites. You'll say...ooooh sh!t. Tipper Gore may have a point. lol
I was in 7th grade when Pyromania was rocking but my older cousin had already turned me on to High & Dry so I was already hip to Def Leppard I like You also was disappointed with Hysteria it was too overproduced and didn't have that balls out rock sound like their 3 previous albums I do like God of War but the rest is too much of an overall pop sound I saw them on the Adrenalize tour in Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill minus Steve Clark anyway Rock Rock 'Till You Drop!🤘🏻😎
Whitesnake,Dokken,Scorpions, to start.....
Once Steve Clark died, they were NEVER the same.
OMG!! you are the first person I heard thinks like me, I hated Hysteria!!!!!!
If you lived through the 80s like I did. These news is nothing new. By the way Rick Allen got into that accident is because of road rage.
10 arm Def Leppard is better than 9 arm Def Leppard.
Hysteria would have been twice as good if it were half as long.
Getting rid of Pete Willis was a huge mistake in the long run
Ratt,Warrant,Skid Row.....
Pyromania>Hysteria. Not close.
Steamin went sonic with Hysteria cause he quit ripping/smokin and started the effect rack endorsement with all those washes of chordal, reverb and delay and stabbing guitaarrrr effeebleeccchhhh😂🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎸🎤🎹
Leopard are not metal, they are more hard rock pop to get chicks ..
Another great video as always.
You should do a video in Luving Color, rrmember them? Those boys could bring it!
Beyond "Cult of Personality" they could really rock. Check em out!
Another topic for a video is cansdian rock bands. There are some great bands that came out of the grrat white morth besides Rush and Triumph!
Those are great ideas!
Living Color is a great band with great songs ruined by terrible guitar solos.
@@haraldsletterod -- You ain't lying! I wondered if the guitarist wasn't parodying guitar solos for comedic effect.
Trixter, Poison, Bad English, Tattoo Rodeo, Harem Scarem, Tyketto, Heartland, Skin, Thunder, Little Angels etc. 🤟🏻🔥🎸
Pyromania is probably my all time fave album
I would put it head to head against The Wall Pink Floyd.
And Pyromania was stealing from the success of AC/DC Back in Black
Hysteria isn't Heavy Metal..
