Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated)Binding: DVD EAN: 0801213001996 Format: Color, DVD-Video, Widescreen, NTSC Label: Eagle Rock Ent Languages: Manufacturer: Eagle Rock Ent MPN: DEV300199D Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Eagle Rock Ent Region Code: 1 Release Date: August 27, 2002 Running Time: 100 minutes Studio: Eagle Rock Ent Theatrical Release Date: August 27, 2002 Editorial Review: Description: Def Leppard's album Hysteria sold over 17 million copies, produced seven hit singles and brought worldwide superstardom to the band in 1987. After the success in America of the 1983 album Pyromania, Def Leppard went into 'exile' in Dublin to begin the writing and production of their fourth album. It would be four years in the making. During this time they would try three different record producers, three different recording studios, Producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange would suffer leg injuries in a car accident, drummer Rick Allen would narrowly survive a terrible car crash but lose his left arm in the accident, and the band would be taken to the limits of their physical and emotional endurance. This program takes a track by track look at the making of the album. We speak to Joe Elliott, Rick Allen, Phil Collen, and Rick Savage who lead us through the original multitrack tapes. Joe and Phil play acoustic versions of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and 'Hysteria', and Sav and Phil demonstrate riffs and licks from the songs, and explain the genesis of the songwriting. Rick talks of the impact of the car accident on his life and on the band, of his determination to re-learn the drums, and of his triumphant return to performing live at the 1986 Donnington Festival. Featured songs include 'Animal', 'Rocket', 'Love Bites', 'Hysteria', 'Women', 'Armageddon It' and 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'. The program is illustrated by archive footage from Def Leppard in concert, TV performances and promotional videos, and provides a unique insight into the making of a record which dominated the charts for two years, a true Classic Album. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Deserved recognitionAs part of the classic albums series which has cherry picked from a number of genres but has been particularly, and unusually, kind to the hard rock and heavy metal sphere of influence this DVD is a welcome release. The Def Leppard saga is perhaps one that might put many off buying anything to do with them given how vital a rock band was gradually worn down by a desperate need for acceptance/success but regardless of what you may think of their intentions and their rather undignified journey through ... Read More Rating: - From the InsideIf you want to know about DL's Hysteria from the inside, watch this video. Joe and Phil are the bulk of the video, although the other members of the band take part. Just a lot of what they went through, and how they made this 'record' that almost wasn't. Just a lot of great information, if you are looking to learn more about a legend of a band. Rating: - hysteriaAny Def Leppard fan would enjoy this. Honestly, even if you didn't know who they were, you still would have to find out more about this band. Rating: - Interesting and informativeThis is a great dvd for the Def Leppard fan. I loved the details about the making of Hysteria. You really get a feel for the attention to detail that went into its creation. I enjoyed it. Well worth it. Rating: - Great DVDIf your a Def Leppard fan than this is a must have for your collection. Lot's of cool info on what they went through to make this album and so much more. I highly recomend this to everyone. |
