    Idk, to me they sounded like they were still looking for their sound....These songs to me sounded like they were just trying to replicate what was out there at the time, and they wouldn't have lasted long sounding like this. The songs and albums from the 80s to me are what def leppard was meant to be. Unlike any other band and sound at the time and took them over the top successfully.

    • @GabrielSolisDesign
      @GabrielSolisDesign 3 години тому

      Had they kept with this hard, raw sound, the 80's glam bands would have swallowed them up. There was no room for it, meaning they would have likely gone metal. They might have made a good go of it, but Hysteria made it so they had a lifetime fanbase, which has now procreated, giving them a new generation of fans.

      Lots of people said that Van Halen were 'heavy metal' back then, too - but nobody would claim that now.

    Who knows where Def Leppard would be today if they had kept on this track. They likely would have faded into obscurity, as the 80's weren't friendly to this raw sound. Pop rock was the only place for them to go, but had they only arrived ten years earlier, they might have been up there with Zepplin and other classic bands. Still, I'd rather listen to this than anything they put out post Slang.

      RyanThompsonGuitarist You know what, you're actually right, and I'm not being sarcastic, either; I just compared this to another video I found with the full EP and it sounds nearly identical, save for a much better quality. I guess I was just so used to hearing pitch-shifted uploads of music here to avoid copyright claims that I assumed it was altered, but I was apparently mistaken. My apologies to Bootleg B'stards for assuming it was pitch-shifted.

    Well as they said they're not an heavy metal band.but when you hear bands like iron maiden you can say this is a heavy metal band.and when listen to guns n Roses you can say this is a hard rock band.in def leppard case when started mixing hard rock and heavy metal they to make hard rock an more modernized sound.but what they're was to became the founding members of a new gente.hard metal.

    • @davidstratton9918
      @davidstratton9918 6 років тому

      Def Leppard is considered to be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal..... Along with bands like maiden, priest, Saxon, Motorhead.....etc.
      These bands took hard rock and metal from bands like Sabbath and deep people, and mixed it with more grittier punk lyrically, and more intricate music technically. Advances in technology at the time, lead to the slicker, processed sound of some of the bands.....but that was true of all music in the late 70, earlier 80s.

    • @LemmyLawless
      @LemmyLawless Рік тому

      Initially they were part of NWOBHM (a continuation of UFO, Judas, Motorhead) and then they mixed it with glam rock (Sweet, T-Rex, etc), so literally they shaped the glam metal sound, then Quiet Riot, Motley and all those LA bands came up...

  • @BillBraskyy

    Maybe this is it or maybe not, but I remember a couple two three years ago I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and I said "Def Leppard sucks" (I've had this opinion for many a'year). Then this person played something on their phone and asked if I knew who it was and I was baffled, but to me it sounded like old school Crue with some punk and I thought it sounded good and then the guy said this is DL and I was in disbelief! He went on to say that they are actually pretty good, but the sound that everyone else and I'm familiar with and what I don't like like is just the producer or whoever they had contract with I guess made them sound the way they eventually did bc that's where the money and hits were at the time. I still think the guys have lots of talent, but I just don't like the songs, music, or Axl Rose lol 🤷🏿‍♂️
