'80s Metal Men Still Def
Last month, Def Leppard celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first gig, which took place at Westfield School in the band's hometown of Sheffield, England.
The group has sold tens of millions of records with its fusion of pop and rock, and squashed it's own "it's better to burn out than fade away" adage by lasting the quarter century largely intact.
In fact, guitarist Phil Collen is downright excited to be on the road this summer, even though the group has been touring behind its latest disc, "X," for some time now.
