pyromania

"When you make love, do you look in your mirror?" It's an age-old question. But it's just one of the many topics addressed in Def Leppard's seminal album Hysteria. Giff couldn't get enough of this classic in 1987, and he still can't now. Does it hold up for Brad and Pete? What about the few songs that weren't hits? How does it compare to Pyromania? Turns out there is a lot to say still today.

Not only do we answer those questions, but we even veer off at the end of the episode to finish our tour of 1987 with our favorite TV of the year. As 11 year-olds, there was plenty we were watching. Turn this one up now. It's time for you to start getting it, really getting it. Are you getting it???

In the latest episode of the Stairway to Eleven rock music podcast, the discussion kicks off with a deep dive into Def Leppard's Pyromania, unpacking the album's groundbreaking blend of hard rock and pop sensibilities. The journey continues with Tears For Fears' critically acclaimed Songs from the Big Chair, examining its emotional depth and enduring impact. The podcast culminates with an exploration of the intricate and experimental sounds of The Mars Volta's Delousing at the Comatorium, highlighting the album's progressive and avant-garde elements. 

Brisbane is in the spotlight with Melissa Lucashenko exploring the early days of the colony in time for the city's bicentenary and debut novelist Melanie Saward's story of a troubled teen with an attraction to fire.

In this highlight from Behind The Hits' 'Def Leppard – "The tragedies bought us closer”' podcast, we explore the intriguing notion of a 'curse' that has loomed over the iconic UK rock band Def Leppard. Frontman Joe Elliott opens up about the band's tumultuous journey, marked by both immense success and personal setbacks, such as drummer Rick Allen losing an arm and the untimely death of guitarist Steve Clark. Elliott sheds light on the mysterious claim made by A-list rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who avoids sharing a car with him, citing this alleged curse.

Whether you've been a fan since their 'Pyromania' days or are just discovering the band's rich history, this highlight provides a unique perspective on Def Leppard's resilience and ability to keep rocking despite the adversities they've faced. Tune in to get the inside scoop on whether the Def Leppard 'curse' is fact or fiction
