Def Leppard-Pyromania

This one came out in early 1983. I bought it when I was living in an apartment in Newark Delaware. Another great record that put five songs on my mix tapes. “Photograph”,Stage Fright”,”Foolin'”,”Rock Of Ages”,and “Too Late For Love” are all great songs. Not a bad song on the record. Not as raw as their previous album,this showed a use of more technology and production,that would result in their next record Hysteria released in 1987. Another good record with 7 singles I thought it a little too slick and over produced. Another band beset with tragedy,drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in an accident carrying on with a custom drum kit using foot pedals and guitarist Steve Clark lost his life after a night of drug and alcohol abuse. The band is still touring with most of the original members.
