Def Leppard: Joe Elliot (vocals); Steve "Steamin" Clark, Phil Collen, Pete Willis (guitar); Rick Savage (bass); Rick Allen (drums). Additional personnel: John Kongos, Booker T. Roffin, Charile (keyboards); The Leppardettes (background vocals). Recorded at Park Gates Studios, Battle, Sussex, England and Battery Studios, London, England. Although many music fans were convinced that Def Leppard would become hard rock's next big band, few could have predicted the massive across-the-boards success that its third record, 1983's PYROMANIA, achieved. Many wondered why it was taking the group so long to release a follow-up to 1981's HIGH 'N' DRY, but the finished product was well worth the wait. Not only did it become one of the year's best-selling albums and made the band instant U.S. arena headliners, but it has remained a consistent seller ever since (by 1994, it had reached nine million units in the U.S. alone). The songwriting and overall sound was more streamlined and succinct this time around--while there are guitar riffs galore, the songs have more of a pop feel. Founding guitarist Pete Willis left during the recording, replaced by Phil Collen, who fit in perfectly with the band. The album features such mega-hits as "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," and "Foolin'," as well as a couple of other tracks that could have easily been singles as well, "Rock Rock (Till You Drop)" and "Too Late for Love." PYROMANIA remains one of the best and most popular hard-rock recordings of the '80s.

Report this review  Def Lep's Pyromania: A Rock Album For the AgesReview created: 05/23/04 by: MattA75 -- a member of Epinions Pros: great melodies/harmonies, rocks hard at times, no real bad songs Cons: Lange's problem with Rick Allen When the band Def Leppard is brought up, oh so many people consider them a relic of the hair band era that MTV gave us. They get lumped in with the Cinderellas and the Wingers and the Strypers. But while all those bands sucked (yes, Cinderella sucked people, badly I might add), in terms of creating albums that stand the test of time, Def Lep belongs more in the category of a Bon Jovi, though their latter albums haven't sold nearly as well as Jovi's (only 1999's Euphoria has gone gold since the band's last multi-platinum sales success, 1992's Adrenalize). With Pyromania, Def Leppard became one. Review ID: 10000000004525562 Sometimes there's nothing left to say but "gunter glieben glauchen globen"Review created: 03/23/07 by: pyfr-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: Simply one of the most crushing rock releases ever. It still works. Cons: Most of the fools in metaldom spent the following decade trying to copy it. I suppose that everybody has an album that defined their childhood, the one that caused them to spend countless hours playing air guitar (or air ukulele, if you live in Hawaii) in front of the full-length mirror. Most white people my age probably started with KISS, and I knew more than a few black kids who spent an awful lot of time trying to master the moonwalk and Michael Jackson's voice back in the early 1980's. Hey wait, I think I did too for a brief time. In 1983, Def Leppard was the coolest group of white dudes on the planet for me. In fact, I seem to remember that Bringin' On The... Review ID: 10000000004525563 Def Leppard's Pyromania - Igniting the 80's and beyond...Review created: 11/20/01 by: jag2112 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Great songs. Classic Def Leppard sound. A classic that will survive the rock of ages... Cons: None really. Want to feel old? Consider this. Anyone who was born during the time when Def Leppard released their breakthrough, multi-platinum, enormously popular album Pyromania can now drive, vote and, in some places, drink beer legally. 18 years. It's been 18 years since this somewhat soft metal band released that album that would change everything for them. Everything for the better, and everything for the worse. Prior to 1983's release of Pyromania, Def Leppard, an English hard-rock/metal band, garnered limited success with their debut album entitled On Through the Night (1980) and more wide-spread... Review ID: 10000000004525564 If you buy just one Def Leppard disc...Review created: 01/23/08 by: HawgWyld -- a member of Epinions Pros: Musically strong; plenty of hooks; a lot of fun Cons: This disc spawned a whole lot of imitators who were, by and large, terrible Yes, here is the which set the stage for a lot of 1980s pop metal. That's both good and bad. It's good because Pyromania is a hell of a good hard rock album. It's bad because the success of this album meant we had to hear a lot of knucklehead bands try to imitate Def Leppard's success and inflict album after album of garbage on us. The impact of Pyromania was huge, indeed, and the influence of the album has become almost larger than the disc itself. That's too bad, really, because this is one hell of a good album. If one can put aside the "historical document" status that has been attached to. Review ID: 10000000006857139 PYROMANIA. ........ Burns inside meReview created: 04/09/01 by: missy32 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Lyrics are the best, Joe Elliot really sings great, Cons: NONE If you grew up in the 80 s and you loved rock and roll music, then you had to have heard of this awesome rock band called DEF LEPPARD. The 80 s were a time when rock and roll was changing. You had the new groups that wore make up and dressed up like women, and you had the groups that were just strange all around. But with Def Leppard they were a rock band that looked normal. Good old jeans and t-shirts. Def Leppard has many CD s out, but I have to say this is one of the best albums they released. DEF LEPPARD went through many changes, including their drummer losing his one arm. This didn t... Review ID: 10000000004525565 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
