Was at Chelmsford yesterday for the BBC 2 festival.
Not really a fan of Def Leppard but they were okish.
Never really got why the yanks go mad for them, apparently they will go down as one of the biggest British bands in the states.
Why are they so big over there?

It was peak MTV. And a more accessible Metal. Bon Jovi's. Slippery When Wet. Was released the previous year. And Guns N"Roses. Appetite For Destruction was right around the corner. For an album that had such a tumultuous beginning. (Watch. The Making Of Classic Albums. Documentary.) It really did nail the landing.

Hysteria (!987)
In producer Robert "Mutt" Lange. Own words. "All Killers. No Fillers."
It still holds up after nigh-on 40 years.
I did read that at one point Hysteria was the biggest selling album in the states by a British artist.
