My Musical Evolution – Part 173 The Metal Years Pyromania

Def Leppard PyromaniaWhat kind name is Def Leppard anyway. Is this another one of the Cum On Feel The Noize Moments. Did they mean Deaf Leopard or something more sinister?  Djarum Clove cigarretes

My Def Leppard connection begins in Franke Park on the radio in mom’s Granada. It was a warm Autumn afternoon and I had gone to the park to have a Clove Cigarette. Before you get too concerned, it wasn’t about inhaling it was just a neat fragrance and an interesting taste that I was enjoying.  I stood outside the car listening to the radio and Too Late For Love was playing. I had already made the jump from Night Ranger To Quiet Riot. Def Leppard sounded heavy as well.

There was something aboutToo Late For Lovethat really captured my attention. It is still one of my favorite Def Leppard songs. Maybe that is the Djarum’s talking.

I bought Pyromania as soon as I could and started to look for Def Leppard.  It wasn’t too long before the videos started to show up. The question now was “is it really better to burn out than fade away?”
