@Xeivous Amen to that. Were it not for Pete Willis contribution to songs on THIS album, it would not have fared as well. Hysteria is a total sell out collection of dreck.
@manhoot Do you know what I love? People talking absolute crap about Pete Willis (favorite guitarist, along with with Alex Lifeson). I don't have many friends because of this genre choice. I can AT least play Rock Brigade, and Freewill,l and I'm 19. I told my Dad when I was seven to buy me Def Leppard! What do you know? I got Pyromania for birthday. Thank YOU Pete for the influence.
at the begining the narrator says, IN THE EARLY 80,S ROCK WAS A WITHERING WASTELAND! WRONG!! you had a lot of great rock bands hitting theyre peak and in theyre prime like AC/DC-VAN HALEN-DEF LEPPARD-DIRE STRAITS-OZZY OSBOURNE-IRON MAIDEN-DIO-JUDAS PRIEST-MOTORHEAD, i mean the list goes on and on!! if anything, ROCK N ROLL TODAY IN 2011 is a withering wasteland of bullshit bands that have absolutlely no staying power!! half the time these documentaries are so wrong about everything!!!!
we need music like this today. im so disappointed at my school when all they play is that new crap. they need to play songs like these. PYROMANIA IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER AND DEF LEPPARD IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!
i agree with everything...but sadly there were not "five major hits" that you'll hear today. Only "Photograph", "Rock of Ages", and "Foolin" were hit singles. If you want to stretch, "Too Late" was also a rock radio hit, but there was no fifth single....
@ColumbianEagle72 Photograph, Rock of Ages, Foolin', Too Late for Love and Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop). all 5 are singles. in that order. i know this from my Pyromania Deluxe Edition booklet that came with the CD.
@ColumbianEagle72 If you don't agree with the five hits then sadly your the one that don't know nothin. "Photograph", "Rock of Ages", Foolin", "Rock Rock till You Drop" and "Too Late for Love"!!! Boom Def Lep for Life!!!!!!!!
I tend to disagree about anyone not "pushing the boundries" Van Halen had put out
"women and children first" as well as "Fair Warning" which was a rather dark album, but it was solid rock and roll to the core. Pyromania is a ultimate album, even so it`s too slick which is due of course to Mutt Lange.
In my mind they should have brought back Pete after Steve C died.

Def Leppard deserve to be in the Rock Hall because of this album and Hysteria alone.

@DoubleVisionandco Don't forget about Van Halens debut. It was the first album to have guitar virtuoso & friendly rock hits as well as Pyromania
