Uh, in 1983, Def Leppard released their third album.

Darren LudlowHOST
It's 1987, Def Leppard released their fourth album, Hysteria, which was even bigger than Pyromania, which includes that iconic track of theirs, Pour Some Sugar on Me.
Darren LudlowHOST
I'm not gonna share with you the memories that that brings back, but it's one of those, you know, songs that you can just imagine dancing to.
Kevin BrownHOST
There's a difference between human drums and programmed drums, and no matter how well you program drums, you can still hear it.
Kevin BrownHOST
It's like Def Leppard, Pyromania.
Kevin BrownHOST
It's my fundamental problem with that album, apart from Joe Elliott's voice, is the drums.
Kevin BrownHOST
It's because they sound programmed.
Jim FlorentineGUEST
And he was on tour at that time with Def Leppard, and he was headlining.
Jim FlorentineGUEST
And Def Leppard was just breaking out with that Pyromania record.
Big Jay OakersonHOST
Yeah.
Jim FlorentineGUEST
With Old, Rock of Ages and all those hits.
CarloHOST
The actor.
BrianHOST
How about, uh, Pyromania, Def Leppard?
KevinHOST
Oh, yeah.
KevinHOST
Yes.
CarloHOST
It was relatively late, and putting, you put on MTV to see what was playing.
CarloHOST
There was music playing, and I saw Def Leppard.
CarloHOST
I think, what song were they singing? Pyromania, whatever.
CarloHOST
That's that song? Yeah, no, Photograph.
Andrew LambertGUEST
away.
Andrew LambertGUEST
Really? The line is a paraphrase of the intro into Def Leppard's That's Where I Know It song, Rock of Ages, which begins with, I got something to say, released on their Pyromania album in 1983.
Andrew LambertGUEST
That itself was derived from a Neil Young song, Hey, Hey, My, My, Out of the Blue, released in the 1979 album.
JustinHOST
Final nerd thoughts.
Clint BarrettHOST
All right.
Clint BarrettHOST
No, I think of, when I think of Def Leppard, I think of Pyromania, which we will cover eventually.
Clint BarrettHOST
It's already in the vault.
Clint BarrettHOST
Just promise, promise it's gonna come out.
Mike BrunnHOST
Cell, I think, came out in 84.
Vincent La RussaGUEST
Pyromania is
Mike BrunnHOST
83.
Vincent La RussaGUEST
Pyromania and Quiet Riot should really be credited as really starting to put...
Vincent La RussaGUEST
That was the
Mike BrunnHOST
foundation.
Mike BoonHOST
I don't know.
Mike BoonHOST
But back to these, I absolutely owned the cassette of Pyromania and Hysteria.
Mike BoonHOST
And I loved Hysteria.
Mike BoonHOST
So good.
Lyle RobichauxGUEST
And I think that is kind of what suffers here, is that you're almost pigeonholed into, okay, if you want to do a Def Leppard song, you kind of have to do Pour Some Sugar on Me.
Jason WhissellHOST
Or just go back one album to Pyromania and, you know, do something like Photograph.
Lyle RobichauxGUEST
Photograph would work.
Jason WhissellHOST
Yeah.

Then the testimony began.
speaker_0HOST
Testifying for the group first was Senator Pula Hawkins, who showed album covers to Def Leppard's Pyromania, Wendy O. Williams' Wow, and Wasp's self-titled album, along with showing them music videos to Twisted Sisters' We're Not Gonna Take It and Van Halen's Hot for Teacher.
speaker_0HOST
Classic video, I might say.
speaker_0HOST
Senator Hawkins' famous line from her testimony was, quote, Much has changed since Elvis' seemingly innocent times.
