We're back with another edition to the Songs with the Same Title series! I previously covered rock band Kiss, and now we're shifting focus to the heavy metal band; Judas Priest. If you're new to the series, there will be six rounds, and I'll pick my preferred song from each one. In the end, I'll choose the winner... Continue Reading →
My last exam is this Wednesday, so I thought now would be the perfect time to wrap up Fall 2020 and talk about my favorite songs from that time since I had so much fun making My Favorite Songs – Summer 2020 post. I tried to diversify this list by including more songs by different artists, but... Continue Reading →
On Monday, Nov. 30, I turned 22 years old, and no, I did not sing Taylor Swift's "22" that day. But it was a great day; I got to see my grandma, I had chicken katsu from L&L for lunch, two of my Amazon CDs came in, I had spring rolls and fried shrimp for... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I talked about Steve Clark, but he was an incredible individual. I've never met him, but I wish I did. He has changed my perspective on life and the way I look at different types of music, specifically rock and heavy metal music. I won't get into how Clark died... Continue Reading →
Inspired by Mike Ladano's Highway to Lists: Live Streaming AC/DC Deep Cuts post, I thought it'd be fun to do a similar post about Def Leppard deep cuts. But I'll also include rare hits that didn't make their studio albums; yet are still worth mentioning. I've created some guidelines to make things easier for me. So... Continue Reading →
I love Def Leppard, but sometimes I feel like their setlists have gotten pretty predictable throughout the years. They still sound great live, and the experience itself is mind-blowing (from what I've researched), but I think it's time for the boys to spice up their concerts. Their catalog is so diverse, yet they play the... Continue Reading →
It depends! For any artist, they need to have popular tunes to sell records. But sometimes, overplaying the hits can be a bit much at times. It is necessary, though; at a Bon Jovi concert, for example, the crowd would be upset if they don't play "Bad Medicine," "Wanted Dead Or Alive," or "Livin' On... Continue Reading →
Photo of Def Leppard by Ross Halfin On August 3, 1987, exactly 33 years ago, hard rock legends Def Leppard released their fourth studio album titled Hysteria. The album was the result of dreadful hours in the studio, record-producer Mutt Lange's perfectionism, the never-ending debt of making the album, and drummer Rick Allen's determination to be...

In July of 1981, Def Leppard released their sophomore studio album titled, High 'n' Dry. It was released in the U.K. on July 6 and in the U.S. on July 11. That was 39 years ago, what the heck?!?!? This album not only helped the group establish their musical roots, but it also marked the first... Continue Reading →
On May 14, 1996 (exactly 24 years ago), Def Leppard released their sixth studio album titled Slang. Honestly, I was terrified of how I'd feel about this album because I've heard mixed reviews on it. Def Leppard is known for their big production, catchy melodies, and tight harmonies, but for Slang, the band decided to try something... Continue Reading →
