Def Leppard has become the latest rock band to take up residency in one of Las Vegas's most famous casinos. The group announced today they'd begin a nine-show, three-week run in Sin City that includes their greatest hits, plus their 1987 album 'Hysteria' in its entirety.
In news that should surprise no one, the thunderous opening to AC/DC's 'Back in Black' was named as the top riff of the 1980s. The list was conducted by Gibson guitars, who, coincidentally, manufacture Angus Young's trademark SG.
The members of Def Leppard are mourning the passing of their friend and sometime collaborator Dick Decent, who had played with the band live as well as in a side group with Joe Elliot and Phil Collen.

It's fitting that the musical 'Rock of Ages' chose the title of a Def Leppard song to define the music of a generation. Even though Tom Cruise and the cast butchered pretty much every song in the movie version, it's still a testament to the band's enduring power.
“It was a time and place, and you have to be aware of that,” says Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen when asked if he thinks his famous band would be able to get off to the same start in today’s musical landscape.
Chances are pretty good that if you listen to Jack FM's Awesome '80s Weekend starting tomorrow, and you have a favorite song from that decade, we're going to play it. Just don't request it.
Hey, nobody has given away more tickets than Jack FM. That's because we're desperate for your love.

When Def Leppard began to write for the follow-up to their 1984 multi-platinum breakthrough ‘Pyromania,’ the group had no idea what a monumental task lay ahead of them. The album would eventually survive through four long years of changes, re-writes, re-recordings and personal traumas to become the defining album of the band’s career.
The next time you go to download ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me’ or ‘Rock of Ages’ from your favorite online music retailer, you might not get the original version — and as Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott revealed during a recent interview, that’s exactly how the band wants it.
