England's Def Leppard are one of the most successful hard rock bands of all time. The band, whose career was plagued by death and tragedy, released their most successful record, HYSTERIA, in 1987. A worldwide phenomenon, the record sold more than 17 million copies and elevated the band to notoriety. In this episode of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series, the surviving members of Def Leppard discuss the making of HYSTERIA as they sort through and explain the original multi-track tapes. In addition, some impromptu acoustic performances and musical demonstrations further dissect this classic album.

This was one of the most interesting and wonderful series ever. Too bad they do not make it anymore, since there are zillions of good old albums which deserved this analytical treatment.

this WAS the album of the moment - the CD of all CDs to test you high end hifi kit out on - and turned up to 11 on the M25 at 100mph in an Xr3i listening to ROCKET 24 years ago - remember it well and still sends shivers down my spine :)

3 of the 5 live in the states. Phil lives in Malibu...Rick Allen lives in the LA suburbs and Vivian lives in the Malibu. Joe lives in Dublin, Ireland and Sav lives back in Sheffield, England although both do have houses in the states where they'll stay prior to a US tour.

Agree 100%, I would even say HnD put them on the radar for many, but check out OTTN. It's really good for rookie teenagers and definitely a raw style with interesting songs.

If anyone has any doubts about how great Def Leppard is, or how amazing an album Hysteria is, just watch this episode of Classic Albums. Hysteria was an incredible record. The kind today's "artists" don't even know how to make anymore. I feel sorry for the teenagers of today. Having to listen to crap like the Black Eyed Peas! Luckily, many kids today are too smart to accept the junk that the record companies are peddling. That's why many teens prefer the 1990's, 80's & 70's ROCK. It's REAL!

If u try to google that term, there is. It is sometimes referred to as glam metal or hair metal, a sub-genre of heavy metal as well.

Best pop metal album by far. Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet isn't even anywhere close. Put on the disc and just push play, let it run and don't touch anything. That's my advice for listening to 'Hysteria'

On this album, it's mostly pop metal with just a tinge of hard rock

I have a question about the guitarist Phil Collen: why did he not use a stage name during all his time with DL, so as not to be confounded with Phil Collins (Genesis drummer/singer)?

Hysteria was a good album, but Pyromania put Def Leppard on the map and its a shame Pyromania was but a footnote in the program.

Yeah, I've never heard of "pop" metal - I think that's impossible.... nor would I say DL is even hard rock anymore, how about pop rock? DL was British metal to hard rock in the first three albums though.

Even though I DO enjoy listening to Animal, the title track, and...can BARELY get through Armageddon It, these songs, at the SAME TIME, I feel, UNFORTUNATELY, "aren't enough" to persuade me to (go out and) buy Hysteria. On another or similar note, throughout January 2013, I've listened to or "bombarded" myself with High N' Dry, SO MUCH, that I'm PRETTY MUCH provoked to buy Pyromania!

This came out in '87 if I remember right, so I was 17 and....meh, it just didn't work for me. I love "High N Dry" and "Pyromania," but this stuff just lacked balls IMO. I hate "Pour Some Sugar." I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now. I won't say it's a terrible record, it's just not to my taste.

a great record ruined by terrible production. akin to spraying the Mona Lisa with neon orange spray paint. it's mindblowing that the guy who produced Back in Black (one of the greatest sounding records of all time) turned out this shiny plastic dog turd
