My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in like 1970. My mom drove us to Seattle

I love Def Leppard. I only started listening to then this century so its still kind of new

I spent the 80's listening to funk and dance music
The very earliest stuff is the best. It got a little poppy there in the early 90s. Every fucking fraternity on campus could not stop playing "Pour Some Sugar" day and fucking night. You could hear it from the fucking Ave. Those frat boys really loved their Def Leppard back in the day.

Let it Go and High and Dry - good shit.

Fun Fact: Pete Doubleday, the managing partner of EY's Portland office, was in the band that was to become Def Leppard. The guy actually did what is the right thing for 99.999% of the people 99.999% of the time by quitting the rock business and becoming an accountant. He didn't.

But in fairness, as the managing partner in Portland, and having run their London office, he's a fairly senior guy in a global firm and is not hurting for money.
Plus, he's alive and I'm assuming has two arms. That means he's better off than half the band.

Whatever album that was with Pour Some Sugar on it was a piece of shit. Hysteria? I knew it was garbage when the girl I was with at the time bought it. Her musical taste was horrific.

On Through The Night, High n Dry and Pyromania were all good albums, though. They got paid with Hysteria, like Metallica did with the black album. Garbage compared to their earlier work, but big sellers.

Money is bad for bands. They always make better music when they're poor.
Entirely agree. Hysteria had some shit bubble gum music for the frat boy crowd, who eats that shit up. Rocket. Yeah. See ya later! Rocket. Yeah. See ya later. Armagedonit? Jesus. Garbage pop rock.
And many forget that Hysteria was tanking big time. Critics ripped it and no one was buying it. That was until they released Poor Some Sugar on Me as a single. And then after that sales boomed and just about every other single got released. But that is where Def Lep died. I saw em in Eugene in 2016. Decent show. Only because they played 4 songs off of high n dry.
Someone will have to remind me: did the drummer lose his arm before or after Pyromania? I think he was one-armed for Pyro, so I can't blame Hysteria on that I guess. Just a garbage 90s Greek Row album if I ever heard one.

Before. The album before broke big. Not high n dry but the one that MTV broke.

He lost his arm after that tour hence the long time before hysteria which was more 87 than 90's

I hear a lot of people bag on Tool. Not sure why - they have at least one or two albums worth of music that really fucking rocks and kicks ass.

My wife's sister went out with Joe Elliott a couple times. Nothing ever developed. He must have thought she was nothing special.

I don't get sick of awesome songs. I only get tired of songs that fall short of greatness. Sympathy for the Devil, It's a Long Way to the Top, You Got Another Thing Coming, Creeping Death, Southern Cross, Vicarious, The Zoo, and any number of other kick ass songs can play one million times and I'm right fucking there and turning it up.

I love music. And fishing. If I have those things, I don't need much else. Many people are alive today because I had AC/DC playing. True story.

He had both arms for both the making of and tour supporting Pyromania. I didn’t score tickets for the ‘83 show in Spokaloo. But I was one of the lucky ones as Elliott lost his voice and it was a shit show. Hysteria was released in ‘87 and foundered badly until the Summer of ‘88 and Sugar release. That was the first one armed drummer album for Def.

I'm better at AC DC vinyl cranked up loud on my audiophile set up these days than I am at fishing right now. Doesn't require getting in the car and is not weather dependent.

When I'm driving to the river in some bullshit weather, thinking about the comfy bed, hot coffee and breakfast I left behind, you know what's playing.

About the time you hook the first fish and it starts peeling line, though, you think that bed and coffee bullshit can go to hell.

The Offspring are vastly underrated. One of the best mosh pits I ever experienced was at one of their shows. My buddy ended up in the ER with a fractured ulna. Unfortunate for him, but for us it meant free Oxy so we appreciated him taking one for the team

Here's my guilty pleasure from the 80s. For being a metal head I still enjoy alot of the New Wave tunes

Chinned for Offspring. I think they're hard to take seriously because Dexter had that hideous bleach jerb for so many years, but their music kicks serious ass.

Can't really pick a favorite track. This one's on the list though.

We’re headed to Chinook Winds Casino to see them in May? Any chance of you pulling some strings for a half off buffet comp???

Unlikely. I got kicked out of the Chinook in the late 90's for drunk and disorderly. I assume I'm still banned.

Never did. I was a late cummer lololoolllloolo to TKK (well, first heard them in 93 or so). Prefer Confession of a Knife & earlier, although Mystery Babylon is a favorite. 13 Above the Night was decent.
