My favorite Def Leppard song. This album in the 80's growing up as a teenage then was like Heaven. I'd give up 20 years of my life to be able to relive that time again. We had the best decade. Unless you lived it you can't fully understand it.
This is the song that mystified and impressed this black, bald-headed 59-year-old man to make DEF LEPPARD his all-time favorite band from the 80’s to NOW!!! I absolutely love, love this band. Best band on the planet! Peace.
@@buckroger6456 - I would have to say Pyromania! Mainly, because it was the album that hooked me up to the DEF LEPPARD wagon. It took a huge bite out of me, and I loved it. It was also the album that cemented myself as a bonafide, certified, hardcore Rock-N-Roller. I simply love this band, and always will. I love my big DEF LEPPARD poster on my BR wall. DEF LEPPARD RULES! Peace.
I agree..if i was stuck on a deserted island for six months i would want HYSTERIA and PYROMANIA as my only albums i would need..im 66 now and i grew up in the 80s..great music. Im going to see DEF LEPPARD on August 23, 2024..LONG LIVE DEF LEPPARD. .
The lyrical + musical genius of Leppard was Steven Maynard "The Riffmaster" Clark. From the early songs "Rock Rock" "Saturday Night" to "Too late for Love", "Bringing on the Heartbreak", "Gods of War" - SO many other songs that Steve penned the lyrics and simply created a musical 'wonderment' that have enabled this band to tour off his mostly catalogue of songs. And live, with his distinctive boots, strapped SO low - "Steamin" was a genuine rock star who oozed cool. No Saul Hudson e-cigarette poseur. Vivian has said several times verbatim "90% of what we play Steve left us". His guitar parts [some] even the monster Vivian admits he still cannot play - the way Steve created his hooks, bends, melodies, harmonies and brutal riffing are epic. The song "Photograph" if all want to see this song live and 'how' it 'should' be played - go to the bands Denver Colorado gig 1989 - the 'In The Round In Your Face Tour' - Steve opens this song with the most iconic guitar I have seen, his creme LP Custom, triple humbuckers with Kahler. Steve delivers the intro and ride out riffing/solo. Magical. And if you're a Leppard fan Robert 'Mutt' Lange was 'the' co genius who gifted the world x2 US Diamond Certified records, "Pyromania + Hysteria". Only Van Halen are the same in having 2 different records Certified RIAC Diamond.
One of the Greatest Songs EVER!!! I remember running home at lunch during HS and turning on MTV. immediately..... When it was actually a great channel!!

"Here's a song from the Pyromania album, written all about Marilyn Monroe!" - Joe Elliot just before performing the final song at the Don Valley, Sheffield 1993 show. Keep on rocking, Phil! Cheers.
one day i asked my dad what his favourite song of all time was and he played me Photograph for the first time. And thats how i found my favourite rock band :) Pleace play in sweden some time soon!
I never grow tired of hearing the “behind the song” stories! I could listen to a whole audio book of the hows, the who’s, the happy accidents, the lot!

I'll never forget going to Def Leppard on the Pyromania tour I was 16 and they were amazing. The Pyromania tour to this day was one of the best concerts I've ever went to and I went to tons of them in the 80's and it was the best of times.
Pyromania was my first concert. I was 17 and fell in love with Def Leppard that night - a love affair that will never end. 💗 My profile pic is a nod to this song.

My dude! We met once at a Mexican border...I shall never forget the time event and your smile (you were accompanied by an exotic tan modle you named Helen!) I said no one will believe me & You asked for a clicker and I was clueless until you said "a camera? I forget we are not in Australia" (as I've never been to Aussy land I just smiled and nodded.) All said saw your show same day/night and many years later finally acquired a signed Jackson PC3...it's not top of the line but for me it is the most clear wood maple birds eye swirled super arsenal in my quiver! Fine sir! ...YOU ROCK!!!!!! 🤘😔🎸
So nice to hear the background on one of my favorites, such a treat 😁! Thank you 🙏 beautiful soul. I was pleasantly surprised to hear it was about Marilyn Monroe, my fellow Dhanishta moon 🌙Remember beautiful souls to take Photographs when you're at Rock of Ages where Love and Hate Collide like the God's of War 😉. Safe travels wherever they take you, love ❤️ you guys! Thanks for making the world 🌎 a better place with your contributions. ☮️❤️😁 all 🙌!
One of my favorite albums. I remember when I bought it on cassette and vinyl for that same year, 1983. The best times. I saw them for the Hysteria tour in 1988 in San Juan Puerto Rico. I remember that they used two stages, one half and the original complete as it appears on In the Round in your Face tour in Denver CO 1989, which was where they closed their two-year world tour. Mutt Lange, in my humble personal opinion, managed to capture the Def Leppard formula. In their choruses recorded in different booths in the recording studio. The various guitars they recorded were many. Pyromania for me was a preamble to Hysteria. Excellent record production. Best to you Def Leppard from Las Vegas N.V.
What I DIG about Leopard besides each member excelling in their craft being guitar drums bass and last but not least Joe Elliott's voice , they are REAL down to Earth likeable lads Keep Rocking you guys !!!!
Let’s not forget to add Pete into context. As bad as his personal situation was, it was his writing/playing skills and guitar chemistry with Steve that propelled them into Pyromania.

I always loved Phil's solo from this song. I didn't get to hear this song until I watched the music video on Classic MTV in either the late '80s or the early '90s. It quickly became one of my favorite Def Leppard songs.
This will not only be my favorite Def Leppard song ever but has and will always remain my favorite song of all the songs ever written in Musical history. I was probably 12/13 when this first came out and pyromania is also amongst the number one albums of my all time favorites. Def Lepp will always be my my favorite band as well. Glad I caught one of Phil’s guitar picks that he threw directly at me after his guitar solo in 2005 … rock on Phil
This is one of those songs, and in fact one of those bands, that I literally thank God for. When I hear that opening riff, I say a little prayer of thanks for the incredible joy it has brought to my life all these years. And of course, thanks to the talented band members that worked so hard on it!
The complete story is the Pete Willis basically wrote these riffs and others on this album.He was fired during the recording. the band never completely recovered from this and the loss Mutt Lang after Hysteria. Willis was an integral member of DEF LEPPARD who co-wrote many songs on "On Through The Night" (1980),"High 'N' Dry" (1981) and several on the band's 1983 breakthrough album, "Pyromania" ("Photograph", "Too Late For Love", "Comin' Under Fire" and "Billy's Got A Gun")
My favorite Def Leppard song. This album in the 80's growing up as a teenage then was like Heaven. I'd give up 20 years of my life to be able to relive that time again. We had the best decade. Unless you lived it you can't fully understand it.
My favorite Def Leppard song too!
Amen!!!!
*The 80's had the best music and movies the fashion though... not so much.*
So would I ❤️
Bring back neon colors & leg warmers! 😆
This is the song that mystified and impressed this black, bald-headed 59-year-old man to make DEF LEPPARD his all-time favorite band from the 80’s to NOW!!! I absolutely love, love this band. Best band on the planet! Peace.
Def Leppard are legends. What's your favorite album? I'm hooked on the High & Dry album right now.

Best Fxxking band ever !!!! Best lyrics, best guitar work, best vocals, drum work, and those bass lines kick my ass. PERIODT.
You can't listen to photograph without thinking how great the 80s were....
I agree..if i was stuck on a deserted island for six months i would want HYSTERIA and PYROMANIA as my only albums i would need..im 66 now and i grew up in the 80s..great music. Im going to see DEF LEPPARD on August 23, 2024..LONG LIVE DEF LEPPARD. .

I never get tired of this song. It’s perfect in every way!
My favorite song from Pyromania❤
One of the reasons I love this band is they are my age. It was cool to see guys my age making awesome music!!!❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸
Humility is a standout characteristic of this band. I love it, love their hard melodic rock with just a wonderful group of guys.
Perfect song from Def Leppard. A photograph is a reflection of a person that is or once was, but always unattainable. Lots of love to you guys 🥰😘❤️❤️
Hello
Great backstory. Love Pyromania. 🤘🏻
"Here's a song from the Pyromania album, written all about Marilyn Monroe!" - Joe Elliot just before performing the final song at the Don Valley, Sheffield 1993 show.
Keep on rocking, Phil! Cheers.
i always wondered who the actress/impersonator was that played marilyn in their video. she remains unnamed. 😄
This is the song that really got me into music, Def Leppard, and Ibanez.
That Destroyer was SWEET !!
Photograph played last night at the Dodgers game and the crowd went nuts!!! Such a timeless, universal arena-oriented rock song!!!
one day i asked my dad what his favourite song of all time was and he played me Photograph for the first time. And thats how i found my favourite rock band :) Pleace play in sweden some time soon!
I never grow tired of hearing the “behind the song” stories! I could listen to a whole audio book of the hows, the who’s, the happy accidents, the lot!
As a teen in the 80s this song is definitely one of the most memorable. Absolute magic!
my favorite song of def leppard and Phil's solo here is just killing me each time
More of these please! 😊
Photograph la adoro!❤ Phil Collen chitarrista fantastico! 🎸 Come i Def Leppard ❤❤❤
This was the song I heard when I was 12 & fell in love with Def Leppard. At 53 yrs old they are still my favorite band!🤘❤❤❤

Steve Clark was a genius at composing small things that made a whole difference and Phill's technique is superb. That is the perfect combination.

Still blows me away that Joe never aspired to be a singer.
His voice is legendary❤
Number one on my list of rock n roll songs. Pyromania is my number one album. Every song is great. No filler.
Next to Rock, Rock, Till You Drop this one Photograph is my favorite. Who am I kidding I love them ALL.
I always loved Phil's solo from this song. I didn't get to hear this song until I watched the music video on Classic MTV in either the late '80s or the early '90s. It quickly became one of my favorite Def Leppard songs.
Mr.Phil Collen you playing Jackson guitar sounds good.
