Oh, goody! Def Leppard's back.

Apparenlty, they've released a new record - their tenth - called "X"...

ooo...how "edgy"..."X"!...and it's number 10! And it's an "x"...like, all "x"-treme and stuff!

My God, is there a shittier band anywhere? How have they maintained their careers for this long? They're roaches. Even missing appendages can't stop them.

Surely, a tenth album by Def Leppard is one of the seven signs of the apocolypse...

Now watch the bastards sell 3 million copies of this piece of crap.

they were catchy&happening at one time, but you see they are a Great Example Where Record Sales alone don't truly make you great: they were the Garth Brooks of there time IMHO.a Few Songs folks like but overall you could be on "Who Wants to Be a Millionarie"&Have two time lines&Call your Buddies,etc..¬ get 10 Songs you can Remember of there's.I do Respect the Drummer for coming back&doing His thing.they are Prince fans as well.

Who

Pyromania is a classic rock album that I loved at the time, and Hysteria's pretty good too. Haven't liked much of what they've done since. Maybe they need to get with Mutt again.

Don't knock the leppard!
You obviously haven't listened to a lot of rock music because you soon realise that they're actually a bunch of really talented song-writers. I'm not saying that their music is the deepest, most meaningful stuff you've ever heard, but hey, some people like to have a sense of humour in their work.
I strongly recommend that you listen to 'vicki waiting' on Prince's Batman album- music ain't all about moaning on about how your record company enslaved you!

On the contrary. I've listened to plenty, which is why I know how awful this suff is. It's the closest living thing to Spinal Tap, except thier drummers simply explode.

Cliche ridden, cornball, homogenized, watered down rock n roll for people who can't handle real rock - or for radio stations who daon't dare play any. Songwriters?!? Honestly, how hard is it to write the same song over and over again? "Photograph", "Rockit", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Rock of Ages"...listen carefully and you can hear that it's all the same song. AC/DC does this too.

I know it's just taste and opinion. More power to anyone who likes this stuff. Knock yourselves out. Give me Sabbath, Zeppelin, Janes Addiction, Living Color, old Van Halen, Rage, Rush, The Who, Stones, the Police, Pearl Jam, ...hell...I could list better rock bands all night long. I could play this stuff...


"Nigel Tufnel, Lead Guitar!"

PS - I don't get the "Vicki Waiting" comparison at all...

Leppard is a great band...but X sucks ass. they brought in too many trendy outside writers, and it kills the disc.

i don't know what's worse, X or TRC...

The sheep? Def Leppard's one of your favourites? Wov, no wonder you don't seem to like The Rainbow Children.
