Couldn't agree more, never did I hear of a US band selling out to the UK LOL!
Leppard really did cop a serving during their success periods. Had that backlash occurred only after Hysteria I could understand, Hysteria featuring far more pop leanings only occasionally nodding back to the heavy stuff (RunRiot Shotgun and GodsOfWar, maybe Women too) most the rest being dressed up candy (albeit top shelf servings ;)
But Pyromania was borderline metal (for its time) and much of it far removed from what later day Leppard... Never could understand why 'homelands' were so quick to disown a band based on their overseas success!?
