Def Leppard’s just released Mirrorball, a live album of their best songs of the past, plus 3 new songs. Of the 3 songs, “Kings of the World” – an extremely pathetic attempt to sound like Queen, copying the styles of “Bohemian Rhapsody” was just a stupid...

I was blown away when I first heard the tune, and this was the track that got me performing in front of an audience for the first time. It was for another faculty’s dinner, and they opened for people to audition, and I gave it a shot and nailed it. It may have flop at the US Charts, but...

This is Firehouse’s best song commercially. I used to mash up this song with Def Leppard’s When Love & Hate Collide back in college in 1997. I didn’t know the existence of mashups back then but I enjoyed the creativity process to it. I know many dislike Firehouse for some...

[ad] I love this time of the year, when I sit back, rewind all the songs that I’ve heard this year, and ardously decide the songs that have been my favorite tunes for the year 2008. In 2006, my favorite song was Hinder’s Lips of an Angel, followed by 2007 Bon Jovi’s The Last...

[ad] I just had to share another track from this album. This is Mel’s favorite, though she’s not into noisy music as she calls it, and to me, this is rock. She hasn’t heard of noise yet, somebody, give her a dose of Disturbed or some shite noisy band! Austin Winkler, has a...

“Let’s Get Rocked” is a 1992 rocking single by a rock band that I used to love before the millennium. They have not been up to the standards since then, although, their latest effort, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge, is quite close to their best. Joe Elliott, the lead singer,...

What a classic rock song this is. It was written by Shania Twain’s hubby, “Mutt” Lange, the same dude behind Def Leppard and Bryan Adams. This controversial song is about a one-night love affair with a man, only to reveal the real reasons later, that her intention was to...

[ad] “Songs from the Sparkle Lounge” is a lame name for an album, especially when it comes from a rock band like Def Leppard. The album sounds nothing like the name, it’s pretty rocking stuff. The style of the album has some 80s sapidity to it. There is only one ballad in...

The last Def Leppard album that I bought, was back in 1999, when “Promises” hit the charts. I loved their 1995′s “When Love & Hate Collide”. This song is a classic too, simple yet heartwarming. Def Leppard – Goodbye I’ve been waiting, goin’...

The year was 1996. Bryan Adams released a superb album called “18 Til I Die”, with the help of Shania Twain’s hubby, Robert Mutt Lange, the man behind most of Def Leppard’s productions. A couple of songs that I liked included “Black Pearl”,...
