Def Leppard | Pyromania

Posted by Allister Fiend in ,

Def Leppard's Pyromania is easily one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time. The opening chord of Photograph. and the chant to Rock of Ages instantly take me back to the early 80's.

This is a time (1983) when I was at the age where I'm going to be choosing "my" music. What is there? Michael Jackson, Prince, name here, name here.

The video's from this album turned many an American boy into a British flag on the shirt wearing rocker.

I remember skimming through the tapes at a Musicland in the mall one day back in 1989. I came arcoss this name Annihilator. I had not heard it but a friend of mine had suggested. I picked it up and shelled out the cash and it turned out to be a road tripping tape for some time. Nice and hard, just how we liked it.

The long haired kid in the small Iowa town. "I dove into the 80’s Hard Rock head first…literally. In 8th grade I started letting my hair grow. I’ll be honest, the intentions were for a rat tail. Remember those? One strip of long hair hanging off the back as the rest was short? Yes, the rat tail was going to be my first rebellion tool against my mother. Then I realized it could be so much more. It was 1984..." The rest of the story...
