"Giving a hamster a light slap, perhaps?"

Amused me.

Dear God, how the mighty have fallen!
Caffiene free poofta tea and discussions of marketing stratgies in the digital age?
He should be working for Microsoft or Sony's PR department and wearing a Marks and Sparks grey suit.

Meatloaf would eat the hamster, then complain it wasn't ham flavoured.
Get Lemmy in here. He'd bite the head off of a Rick Allen.

Why no pictures of Rick himself - and the blonde guy on the homepage pic isn't even in the band - HE'S DEAD!

Their Greatest Hits album is still worth a play. Sounds monumentally 80s, though.

Steve Clark was a fucking god, though. Switch 625 is an excellent song. Don't get me wrong, Vivian Campbell is good, but he's no Steve Clark in my opinion.

I fucking love Def Leppard =o) And I'm from Sheffield, so it's a little sweetener.

Indeed - I was just shocked to see old Steve on the homepage, plus a little sad that the one-armed legend was obscured by Phil Collen in most of the photos. Surely Rick would've donated a snap from his family album if asked...
Life long Lep fan here too - me and my dad went to see them on the YEAH tour - DEF LEP FTW!!!

I just realised that the poor bugger will never be able to play Guitar Hero, with one arm and all... nor any "conventional" computer game.
I hope EG gives him a go on their Wii.

EDIT - Maybe he could learn to play with his FEET! He did a darned good job of learning the drums that way!

You asked a guy with one arm if he's been playing Guitar Hero? :D

They don't want to associate with GTA?

Weren't they on the soundtrack to Vice City or Vice City Stories?

Anyone else read it and think he might be jealous of the Areosmith GH game?

They let Def Leppard relase 3 tracks... They do a whole game about Areosmith - it would p**s me off to find that out from a games journo!

Suicidal Tendencies...the original and best thrash-metal-skate band ever. Forget Def Leopard poppy music!
