Still listening to this album in April 2024 Brilliant album. Bring back the ‘80’s

Def Leppard's music speaks to the generations!! It's timeless! They're simply amazing even today!

Not only are they the best band. But they are the best band of brothers. This is clear during the good times. And also the very worst of times. They continue to grow and change with the times. They all are very sexy. Joe takes the lead in sexy with his vocals and his obvious sexy looks. Keep going guys. We need you.

They are the true definition of what a band should be about. No egos just mates. You won’t get a band as big as Def leppard as down to earth.

Run Riot is my favorite song on Hysteria.

Hysteria is my favourite Def leppard cd and my personal favourite Def leppard song ❤️♥️❤️😍💕

The thing I love about this interview the most is what fans they so evidently still are of bands like Queen and T-Rex, with the desire to compare themselves in the same way teenage garage bands do. Nice to see.

I would love to hear Mutt Langers take on Hysteria.

Def Leppard saw them in the round 1993 in Duluth Minnesota 🇺🇸. One of my favorite bands 👌.

Even with the questionable editing this interview gave a lot more insight than most interviews in regards to Hysteria if I'm being honest. Brilliant!

Def Leppard is my fave band. I love all the guys! So talented & gorgeous!

Love it.

I love this song Rocket! One of my favorites. Hysteria is #1!!!!!🖤❤️🇺🇲🇬🇧

Def Leppard’s golden era was from Pyromania(1983) to Retro Active (1993). I wish they had more than Hysteria and Adrenalize in between, but of course Rick and Steve had their tragedies.

@wildcatter63 Yeah. Viv's an honest guy. Seen some of his more recent interviews and he's full of praise for Steve. Steve was the guy that got me to pick up the guitar after I bought the In The Round video. Still remember how I found out he'd died. They definitely lost something that day. But I do feel sorry for Viv sometimes. It must be a thankless task being in a band where the fans are still talking about the guy you've replaced as if you're just a session musician. But he puts up with it with good grace.

What is awful about it? You may want to stop comparing one album to another and appreciate each album on its' own. Slang was way different than anything Def Leppard ever did. It definitely isn't the party album you got in Pyromania or Hysteria. It has much more mature lyrics and more introspective. It still has the Leppard sound though-unmistakable layered melodies, guitars etc. Sometimes an artist has to think out of the box. They took a chance. Commercially, it didn't do so well. But artistically, it is a triumph.

My favorite album ever.

Wow, what a great interview. Kudos to Jamie East for not banging on about Pete, or Rick or Steve and just getting on with the music. Lovely insights from Joe and Phil. What a great work ethic this band has. I was about 17/18 yrs old when Hysteria came out and (if you're not of this age) you have to think about the peers at that time too, to realise what the record was competing against: Bon Jovi had Slippery when wet, Europe: The Final Countdown, Aerosmith were scoring big with Permanent Vacation, Van Halen's 5150. The Crue had Dr Feelgood(?) and Poison had Open up and say Ahhh. Whitesnakes self titled album (or 1987), Maiden's Somewhere in Time, Queen's A Kind of Magic and Heart's resurgence with Bad Animals. And then there were the others that I can't remember right now. I do remember rumblings of an up and coming band called Guns and Roses about to premier their debut album; Appetite for Destruction. All competing for the same airtime - all scored big, fat, juicy hits. I cannot explain what an absolutely fantastic time it was to be a hard rock fan in the mid-late eighties...

No surprise why this band has sustained through the years. They are a band of brothers that are grateful for their success.

OMG! Thanks ❤ I love Def Leppard absolutely ❤

I was 13 in 1988 when I bought that cassette tape and it’s still one of my very favorite albums to this day! Haven’t gotten tired of it since ❤❤

The total respect and gratitude they had for Mutt is there to see. Hysteria was my gateway album into rock and, later, metal. I'd heard Animal on Top of the Pops and thought it was decent. Then I was sat in my mum's car waiting for the job centre to open and I heard Pour Some Sugar on Me for the first time on the car radio. Blew me away and, like many others, bought it on the strength of that song. Listened to at least one song on the album every day for about 5 years!!

NO QUESTION! -- This interviewer guy simply MUST BE the editor or director of this (or perhaps his lover[?]) because I cannot believe how long the camera stays on him as they are speaking. During 'Animal' Joe E. is speaking for half-of-a-minute or more and the shot remains on Dr.Interviewer Guy, Esq.

LOL You guys are funny....but good points !!! Yeah, what the heck....

Great interview, great questions and huge respect to Jamie East for adding his own knowledge be that musically , antidotally or Technically. I hope the Def Leppard Crew know how phenomenal and generational Hysteria really is ......My Dad and I share 'Dark side of the Moon' , 'Sgt Pepper' and 'Tubular Bells' . I now have Two Teenage children , and we share 'Hysteria' . 12 Fantastic Songs that are indeed timeless and Inclusive , my mum doesn't care for my taste, this kind of music but Loves the title Track and Love bites.

What Phil and Joe say about recording a single string at a time - as an example, the original Roland guitar synth had a "hex fuzz" effect. Each string had it's own pickup so the hex fuzz was a unit that that had one fuzz unit for each string which were then mixed (summed) into a single output. If you had had the 6 strings being summed and then going into a single fuzz unit, all the different notes & harmonics generated by each string would cause the output to sound like mush, when they're processed individually and then mixed together, they sound absolutely huge!

The Pyromania drum sound was essentially everything apart from the cymbals was the Fairlight and Rick played the cymbals. When Leppard recorded Pyromania in 1982, probably the only other people in the UK using the Fairlight were the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Peter Gabriel (there's a great his 4th South Bank Show where it shows him using the Fairlight and the Linn Drum for his 4th album - and I'm sure a few bits and bobs were stolen for Brian Pern from that)

Great Album, great guys and interview.

Good documentary

Absolutely amazing interview, I used to love watching Jamie on the TV years ago sadly he’s not on so often. He’s got so much knowledge not many interviewers actually know what they are talking about. I love his take on each song

Great band!!!

Very interesting, I really enjoyed it.I Love Joe, He is smart,talented and Sexy.He could talk about Rock and Roll or how to bake bread and I would listen intensely 👍💕

Great. Cheers for upload.

Hi Joe!This is by far the best interview that Def Leppard has ever dune here yet Now Joe you make want to go out, die my hair here blonde now. I love the beautiful blonde colored hair Joe.&the guy who did the interview here on both you, Phil did an excellent job on the interview. Now you guys make me want to go out buy some tickets here for next month's concert that is coming to nrg park.

Aloha. That was amazing! The amazing things done and a wonderful band also talents of Mutt. Thanks Virgin recs. Waiting on Def to start America. 2024...❤

Also recorded at the studio when Leppard were there: Frankie's second album, Saxon's Rock the Nations (which had Elton on 2 songs) and the guitars for Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time

I fair enjoyed that. Thanks, Virgin & Def Leppard!

Fantastic interview! Sad that it took me till the end of 2020 to find it!

I so love to hear Joe or anyone in Def Leppard talk about the Beach Boys. The two bands are my personal top two favs of all time! So I really love to hear them compared like Joe did toward the end of this video. :-) Thanks for getting this deep guys.

Fabulous video...perhaps “Priceless”

Amazing thank you for the upload

Great interview.

Nice of them to mention Supercharge, one of my favourite bands

Jamie East looks like Tom Quayle with hair LOL. amazing upload by the way!

Nice fellows

I love Hysteria, but Pyro is the best for me. Amazing from the beginning to the end ♥️ an underrated album I must say, I don’t understand why.

I fucking love this band! It’s incredible how they support each other, how they talk about each other. This is a band to admire. I’m a proud fan.

Nice interview but I wish the camera would go to Joe and Phil when they are talking instead of staying on the interview guy.so focus more on the band please.

But also worked with Billy Ocean and the cars back in the 80s. Both acts had big hits over here.

Everyone check out the whole album! Check out excitable, Love and Affection, Armageddon it, run riot! This in pyromania I definitely there are two very best, but hysteria is hands-down one of the best albums I’ve ever heard in my whole life

Animal song is relax melodic hardrock song

My 2 favorites off PYROMANIA are "Stage fright" and "Die hard the Hunter" Great interview other than the camera man falling asleep, keeping it pointed at interview guy while Joe and Phil were talking.

i love pyromania and hysterya

Both Pyromania and Hysteria are 10/10 albums. Animal is the best song on Hysteria and Die Hard The Hunter is the best song on Pyromania.

Love Bites is ballad is verry good def

How HYSTERIA and ADRENALIZE tour life ?

Honest to God if you look closely carefully in this video Virgin radio classic interview here you will see closely that he really does have a very small Mohawk hair do there on top of his head. I think that that's way cool .P.S.Please do edited this column here for me. Thanks!

Would like 👍 reply on this comment here.

I wish they had Rick on these interviews

I hate aging

No offense Joe but queensryche does their own harmonies too.. Geoff is supported by degarmo Jackson and wilton, and they can both shout sing and naturally sing too. But I do agree that this type of sound is rare in heavy metal from 80s. But I do give you credit that def can tap into a pop audience which is largely ignored by ryche.

I was watching something earlier and they were saying animal wasn't a hit but yet I remember it being a hit did become a hit after poor some suger in me

What is with the editing on this? Cut to the guests once in a while eh? Far too much of the interviewer sat nodding in agreement while Joe and Phil are talking out of shot.

Ego . Hahhahà

I bet the editor is in love with the interviewer. Maybe his wife.

Joe does the Hysteria BSides/Retroactive a disservice there.....if they had released the Hysteria songs as the follow up to Hysteria in late 89/90 - they would have cleaned up. People would be saying "Bon Jovi - who?"

20:16... the album graphic is actually on top of the video... should have used a green screen on the monitor and added the graphic behind the video so that when he leaned forward his head would not get covered by the graphic. Just saying...

Joe must check out "Blues Shouters" book 49:44. Most blues music cats from the old days would shout their words to be heard

I'm looking at the writing credits for albums 1-4, and Rick Allen only got writing credit for one song off of High and Dry "Lady Strange"... so maybe not as evenly spread as Joe was saying... I guess not all of us can get Drummer Writing credits on every song like Lars Ulrich can...

i liked the the version of pssom where they are in the house that is being torn down

The big difference between Mutt/Leppard and Horn/Frankie was a) Leppard actually played all the tracks and b) Mutt never ripped them off

25+ million in the biggest hardest market the US alone. Hysteria achieved the same 25+ Diamond. Only Van Halen can match these figures with 2 records also Diamond in the US. Phil is nowhere near as wealthy as he only played on the record after Pete was sacked but Pete Willis received his royalties from the band rightly as he co wrote some songs but it was the lyrical, musical genius of this band 'The Riffmaster' who was the real reason for this record's epic status - 'and' the genius of Robert 'Mutt' Lange. Steve's arguably pinnacle performance live is here at this gig, mind blowing stuff. Steve really did have it all. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gayEmLyfYNa7pco.html

Hysteria=Steve Clark.

Why does the interview get so long on screen when it’s about the artist not his vanity

How great is this FN album!!?…

I love Def Leppard! However, I was disappointed with Hysteria. I missed the aggressive sound and song style of Pyromania!

Sorry, I'm a bit of a Leppard super fan :D

Joe Elliot is starting to look a liitle like Judy Finnigan.

I’m sure Joe is turning into Michael Parkinson.

I'm 16 min in and I'm already tired of watching long periods of Jamie just sitting there listening to them talk... I should be watching the person who is talking.... not a hard concept to grasp.
