Re: Def Leppard - Pyromania - 30 years ago today

I was 15 when this came out. I remember specifically going to the record store with a friend, he bought Frontiers by Journey and I bought Pyromania because I like the single Photograph. After listening to it once or twice I tried to talk my friend into trading albums, but I he wouldn't, so I kept listening boy did it become a grower. It was probably one of my first taste of "Hard Rock", which it was at the time, only to be softened up as Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer made its way into my ears. But Def Leppard along with Van Halen and then Bon Jovi were the biggest bands of the day. What a time it was. I like the convenice of the digital age, but miss the record store experience.
We'll be a hundred years old, still in the front row, singing every word with our devil horns in the air, because baby we were born to be there!
