\"Def<\/a>What kind name is Def Leppard<\/em> anyway. Is this another one of the Cum On Feel The Noize <\/em>Moments. Did they mean Deaf Leopard<\/em> or something more sinister?\u00a0 \"Djarum<\/a><\/p>\n

My Def Leppard <\/em> 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.\u00a0 I stood outside the car listening to the radio and Too Late For Love <\/em>was playing. I had already made the jump from Night Ranger To Quiet Riot. Def Leppard sounded heavy as well.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I bought Pyromania<\/em> as soon as I could and started to look for Def Leppard.\u00a0 <\/em>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?”<\/p>\n
