I like Black Stone Cherry, they manage to sound old and washed up despite being quite new!

Def Leppard are tits!

Anyone that calls them gay just has issues over their hairline and should be taken outside for a shoeing.

They definitely shouldn't be labelled NWOBHM though should they?

by **Metal Iain** on Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:42 pm

Nah, though their first two albums were pretty much AC/DC worship and a bunch of bands that basically did the same thing are. Maybe it's because DL were one of the few to go crazy on their subsequent albums and use a drum machine.

On Through The Night is a really cool rock album

They used one on Pyromania. I think they used an electric kit on the subsequent albums.

Let's not forget, Rick Allen was 16 when he did his first world tour. No Thrash band will ever come close to how good Def Leppard were for five years.

Yeah, you can't really argue with Hysteria to be fair.

by **keith_amok** on Thu Jan 17, 2008 1:12 am

Hysteria is one of my fav albums. Its fuckin amazing

by **James** on Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:43 am

Damn, I should probably get Hysteria, the tracklist looks cool

by **Metal Iain** on Thu Jan 17, 2008 1:41 pm

EXCITABLE!
