Classic Rock Magazine May 2018 - News Quotes

Def Leppard 1987.

Joe Elliott - "But logic dictates Hysteria is obviously the most important album we ever made. It captured a moment in time that seems to be lasting forever... long may it last!."

Def Leppard 1987.

Phil Collen - "Hysteria. We actually changed the way that music sounded on the radio. Mutt bridged that gap between pop and rock. Pyromania was a bit like that, but with Hysteria it had a further-reaching effect."

Def Leppard 1987.

Rick Savage - "I loved Pyromania and how it set the band up, but I’d have to choose Hysteria. Just the quality and depth of the songs."

Def Leppard 1996.

Rick Allen - "It changes. But what was one of our seemingly least popular albums has became one of my favourites – Slang [1996]. We were reeling from the fallout of the whole Seattle scene, and that album was a great opportunity to get back to basics."

Def Leppard 2008.

Vivian Campbell - "[From my time in the band] I think Songs From The Sparkle Lounge [2008] felt the most comfortable, because it was so easy to make. We didn’t intellectualise it."
