Name Your Biggest "Rock & Roll" Disappointment

[Nitrogen]

Beatles (Should Paul have died too? I mean, enough already - he looks like my old Aunt Pat)

You're disappointed in a musician that...he's not young and attractive to you any more?

[maggiethebestdog]

Judging by your response, you agree with me. It's not like Def Leppard started out all "Hardcore" and then went soft - - they were soft to begin with, that's my point - hence not sell-outs (The Bon Jovi Rule). I'm not saying that's a bad thing, they're sticking to their roots. Also, agreed, "Let It Go" is a pretty rockin' song - shockingly reminds me of "Long Way Down" by The Goo Goo Dolls, in cadence and progression, 3 syllable hook, 3 power chords, etc. In case you haven't heard it:

I'm referring to someone who you idolized (probably as a youth) and then at some point they did a 180 on you and sold out. For me, personally, it was Metallica and Van Halen - but everyone has an opinion.....

Keep posting those rock videos (here & in the Politics forum) - I love it!

Lol
I see the problem
You have never listened to Def Leppards first 2 albums except for the ballad

That is the only explanation possible

I'll refer to the classic saying - "Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD"

I love the Beatles, even Wings, but, it's becoming sad and hard to watch - - It's like Larry Holmes begrudgingly fighting his idol Ali - - and begging the ref to stop the fight and crying afterwards because Ali could barely stand up.....

Good Song. The difference is the Goo Goo Dolls are good. Def Leppard never was any good. But that's just my opinion, & it has no exceptions or rules. I never liked them, even when everyone else thought they were the shit on MTV. To me they sold out from the start. Which is fine, they made a hell of a lot of money.

Yeah I know what the thread is about. That's why I said Nugent sold out with Wango Tango.

We all sell out sooner or later.

If you think Def Leppard was EVER "Hard Rock/Metal", you need your head examined.....

Hey, Winger just called and laughed at you.....

Like I said, you are judging their first 2 albums by one song
It is obvious you have never really listened to either album

Then again, you thought Metallica was good at one point, so...

I'll quote Mike Tyson

"You have to problem, turn off your station"

#1. - I own everything D.L. made through "Adrenalize" - so.....

#2. - I named 3 songs, and didn't even include like "Lady Strange" or "No, No, No" which were - - ehhhh….. Let's say "Stryper-esque"

#3. - I bet this is the most Def Friggin' Leppard has been talked about in a forum since the internet was invented

#4. - Metallica ROCKED until they fired Dave Mustaine & Cliff Burton died and they were up for a "Grammy" and looked all G@Y thinking they were going to win - - and lost to Jethro Tull - - that was the nail in the rock coffin for me.....

#5. - Hate away, it's a free country.

Lol
So now you have compared the first 2 albums to the Goo Goo Dolls and Stryper despite the fact they came out several years before either of those bands 1st album even came out

Lol
I have no idea what you are talking about and neither do you


I get it, Metallica thrashed so they are "metal"

Are you 12 yrs old??

[Auto Donk]

the "slappin', schwappin'" sound of the drums at the start reminds me of the rolls slappin' schwappin' against each other when you get a big babe really rockin' doggy style......

Rock is basically dead now.... does it even matter anymore?

[Auto Donk]

Rock is basically dead now.... does it even matter anymore?

this is so true.... no new rock in years.... i remember when the htown alt rock station added this horse shit to its playlist, as "something new"....

not rock, not alt, not alt rock.... just solid horse shit:

not sure what genre it fits into..... probably "gay ass shit"



true alternative doesn't ride big wheels.... true alternative launches bass guitars twenty feet in the air and headers it into the net on the way down.........

[khicks26]

Came out in 2017, but they are from Canada.

[Jimmy Proffett]

Grand Funk Railroad. They were a really great rock band, then for some reason they did a cover of "The Loco-Motion". For penetrate's sakes.

[PAULYPOKER]

Someone in this thread said Def Leppard The 1st power ballad...........

Wrong........
Just some of the best>>>>>>>>>>>

The 4th song of every album was the standard spot for the power ballad....
1971>>>>>>>

1975>>>>>>>

1976>>>>>>>

1982>>>>>>>
One of my all time favorites...........

[PAULYPOKER]

Yes,even Metallica was guilty of the 4th song power ballad.........
except for the kill em all album as the 4th song is
Jump In The Fire...........Lol

Also I Always wondered why "Am I Evil" disappeared from the album....
Song is killer hardcore and belongs on the album as it is naked
without it.......

[PAULYPOKER]

As for Biggest "Rock & Roll" Disappointments........


Stars burning out before their time....
as the bands could not go on without them
with John Bonham's death being my
biggest disappointment........

I tried to award you points, but couldn't.

I'd also throw Keith Moon into that ring.....
