Def Leppard changes its spots
It's hard these days to mention Def Leppard without hearing something of a snicker.
Often, and mistakenly, likened to the Los Angeles metal scene of the late '80s - Poison, Ratt, Dokken, Warrant - the British rockers were never truly a "big-hair band."
Instead, in much the same manner as Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, they had an image; who could ever forget the tattered jeans from the Pour Some Sugar on Me video? But with a slew of hits, their albums consistently sold millions.
