PYROMANIA - Happy 30th!
01/20/2013 - 13:30
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of DL'S album PYROMANIA. Here is a special note from Joe Elliott on the album.
Wow ..... I can't believe it's 30 years since Pyromania came out! It had been a labour of love to make (little did we know in comparison to Hysteria, it was a piece of cake!).... Multiple studios in London, one guitarist out, one guitarist in, equipment breakdowns, tapes turning transparent because of the thousands of times they were rewound & fast forwarded for multiple overdubs, but we found our sound on this record with the help of a great producer in Mutt Lange, the new studio technology that we eagerly embraced (unlike many of our peers) and an incredible enthusiasm to "make a record no one else had ever made" whether we did or didn't isn't important, what is, is that we had made the record WE wanted to make, it had been percolating in our DNA for 6 years!!…. we finally sounded like the "us" we wanted to be!!! - J x

This album came out a few months after my Mom passed away and Pyromania gave me the distraction I was looking for. Thank you DL for saving me by making me smile, dream and sing again!!!! Fan For Life!!!!
Its been 30 years already, how time goes by. Regardless of the
struggles you guys went thru to make this album, it turned out
to be a great one. That June is when I became a fan, so it'll
be 30 years for me too. So Happy Birthday to Pyromania & me.
Forever a Def Leppard fan, Christine - NYS

And You Guys Did "REAL GOOD"
I was just a teenager in sixth grade when this was released! I still have my album and cassette tape from way back then. Great music then awesome music now. Def Leppard will always be apart of my life. Much love and light to you guys! keep it rockin!
I was hooked on this album since the first time I heard it and agree, there's not a bad track on the album. One of the few albums in my life that I can listen to beginning to end and not want to skip a song.
I was 22 when this came out and it "rocked my world". Still a huge Def Leppard fan at my very young age!
Thank you for all the years of great music! Keep it coming and keep touring...I will see you again!
I loved this album from the very first moment and still today I feel the same way each time I play your music. I have taken you on my journey through life since my pre teen years lol. I can't wait to see you in concert again! Than you for making me smile, live and rock....woohoo!
ahhh love you Joe :) happy birthday pyromania!
30 years ago at the age of 16 I went to my first concert ever at the Hollywood Florida Sportatorium in the middle of the Everglades. What a show it was ... Gary Moore, John Butcher Axis, Krokus, and the headliner DEF LEPPARD! I was blown away! At that point I new that I had just become a Def Leppard fan for life! You guys brought the how's down that night! Rock on Joe, Rick A. , Rick S, Phil, and Vivian. (RIP) "Steaming Steve" Clark.
Congratulations! This is the one that started all for me. I've always admired perseverance. Thank you for your perserverance. My life has certainly been sweeter with your music to enjoy. Thank you for enduring all the difficultIies and doing whatever it takes. With much respect and gratitude, IV
I was 12 when this came out, listening endlessly on my Sony Walkman. For me this was my 'Beatlemania'. Great power chord sound, soaring vocal harmonies, and production par excellence.
John 'Mutt' Lange was on top of his game (Highway to Hell, Back in Black) and he pushed you boys to make an incredible album. I can listen to this album anytime and enjoy it just as much. Thank you!
ahhh love you Joe :) happy birthday pyromania!
This is my favorite one!!!!! I love you Def Leppard!!!
One heck of an album! Love it to pieces and will be listening to it in heavy circulation ten years from now. Take a bow guys, you deserve it!

Congrats! 1983 was also a special year for me. As a High School graduate, my summer consisted of multiple parties and listening to great music, Def Leppard! Thank you! For those of us who can't make it to LasVegas. Hope you get out this summer. Chicago would love to see and hear you!! Kathy
