For all the Def Leppard haters on this board

[MikMaq]

Oh really?

What the fuck is that?

[MikMaq]

only groink could shoehorn a pic into this thread 

def leppard have been at the top of the rock tree for decades

their drummer has one arm

radiohead are a bunch of pretentious idiots that wrote one good song

then wanked off for ten years pretending they are deep and meaningful

which band would you rather be in

a big rock group fucking hot whores by the dozen

or radiohead where your fans are all vegetarians and would rather self harm than take it in the ass

Lol what song is that karma police?

Seriously shitting on writing head is fucking ignorant.

They were truly interesting, whether or not you like them.

"The band that defined hard rock"

[Palpatine Q]

"The band that defined hard rock"

LOL...i think there might be a few bands that have a problem with that statement, Led Zeppeilin, Black Sabbath for starters.

I get it, and you are a pretty persistent troll, I'll give you that   

oh by the way...post "Adrenalize" how many records did Def Leppard's new albums sell ?

would you like to know the answer ? 

[tu_holmes]

I would say that Pyromania did define a generation of Hair Metal...

[MikMaq]

I would say that Pyromania did define a generation of Phags

fixed for logic.

I'm still waiting to see Radiohead have a movie made about their career. That would never happen and there's only two things that Groink can do about that and that's like it or lump it!

[YngiweRhoads]

 

I probably have more diverse tastes than most here. Anything save for radio-play tripe and shit hop, which doesn't actually meet the definition of music anyway, is on my musical palette.

Talent has nothing to do with playing a million notes per hour. Collen is a pure example of playing fast for the sake of playing fast, and playing sloppy as hell while he's at it. He's a hack.

He wishes he could write/play this.

Now if radiocrap had any talent they'd probably sound a little like this. More dynamics, better vocals, more sophisticated arrangements and more intelligent melodies and note choices.

The reason y'all probably haven't heard any bands like this is because the general public is full of pablum sucking morons and they dictate what you get to listen to, along with big $$$. There's a million other bands and musicians I could reference but it's pretty pointless.

I'd like to hear of bands that have a direct def leopard influence, guess wha your not gonna find em.


Radiohead influence almost every band going these days, they were essentially the second wave of music after nirvana.

Your statement is definitely "RAtarded".

Your delusional, as much as labels dictate taste, the fact is people like what they like, there is no great conspiracy, people that play guitar like  mal-steam, people that don't can't stand em, just the same dudes that play bass like victor wooten, there is no conspiracy but simply an individualistic bias for what is relevant to you.

The reason radiohead is worth mentioning  is because they give something to more than one audience of people. They give people that play instruments some interesting ideas, just as they give people  that don't something they won't get out of  coldplay.

Def leopard give almost nothing to the musician, and I seriously have to wonder do they even like playing their own songs. Their a pop band produced by mutt lange, who look gook, and sing like a boy band.

Your a joke if you think 99 percent of music these days isn't music, as almost everything is a variant of pop or hip hop.

 I'll take that back for the record your right, pyromania was actually decent, I thought you meant hysteria which was before the lost arm/turning into a total boy band/being over produced came into the picture..

I saw Devin Townsend when he was with Vai.  Awesome show in a small club.  Although I like Devin's stuff his music can be a little over produced at times.

I hear a lot of tricky time changes and complex melodies, but i don't hear anything i would want to hear again or resonates with me.

vocals are horribly overwrought. i can't deal with those operatic types.

it's not about who has the most dexterity in my opinion. if that was the case, if someone could play a solo with their feet, would that make them the best musician ?

and it's just silly to say Radiohead can barely play their instruments just because their aren't chugging guitars and sweeps, hammering on and all of that guitar god stuff. their lead guitarist scores orchestras and movie soundtracks, and real ones..not silly vanity projects

such simple music 

[bigbadwolfe]

Hahaha sitting here reading all this and a Damn Def Leopard song comes on the radio!!! Good shit hahah

[The Abdominal Snoman]

[MikMaq]

There pretty sweet, along with mogwai, and godspeed you black emperor were the only thing I listen to for several months back in 06.

These guys are currently given me my kicks, there bassist is pretty sick, and the songs aren't bad once you get past the brigade of fucktards that they call fans.

[garebear]

Def Leppard is for skanks.

I wouldn't even consider myself a 'hater'.

It's not even on my radar for something important enough to justify hate.

HTH.

I'm kinda on the same wavelength, however it's hard to get past a bunch of  grown men admitting to listening to them. They were truly the backstreet boys of their time, where 2/3rds their audience was chicks, and the 1/3 men that liked them as a guilty pleasure somehow because their retro thats excused.

X3....I still remember the first time I heard them. my cousin came over with their record, And was jumping up and down how they were the next  Led Zeppelin, so he puts it on and I'm like "this is gay"

I agree with that.

They went completely off the rails when all of that shit happened. 

[bigmc]

lots of "hysteria" in this thread

[JasonH]

Six pages now - Getbiggers have been arguing about this on through the night.

Radiohead have been left high and dry.

 

[RocketSwitch625]

This really sounds like a boy band like Groink describes them. LOL

P.S. Every Def Leppard gig I've been to in my country (UK) the audiences have been 50% male and 50% female.
