Who started the trend for glam bands doing power ballads?

[TinMan666]

The first album was the best, IMO.

Although Midnight Madness has some awesome stuff too. "Why Does Love Have To Change" has some of the best dual lead guitar work ever

 

[Spiff]

JOURNEY!!!

Steve Augeri, or whatever his name is (the guy who replaced Steve Perry) sounds remarkably like Steve Perry on the DVD I have... but also seems to have breasts. I hope they're just pecs, but they look like breasts. Not in the "everyone has breasts, silly!" sense, either.

LOL ive got that Journey dvd. Excellent! Augeri is married by the way but maybe he wears his wifes undergarments on tour?

Nightranger. Im with you Tinman. Dawn Patrol is their best album. Midnight Madness second best. I liked them best with crunchy guitars. Got a bit too soft at times for my taste. Theres an album with a different singer Gary Moon that is quite good too.

Very good band. Gillis and Watson really can rip. Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy share the vocals well too.

now playing: Dan Reed Network - Breathless ep

 

[Wicked Child]

I think with Def Leppard it was more a case of them wanting to me more of a melodic rock band than a heavy metal band. Their songs aren't so much power ballads as melodic rock tracks.

why......WHY!!!?????

 

[spawn]

They inexplicably like pop more than metal it seems. I just dont get it...

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Because melodic rock is fucking awesome

 

[Blitzkrieg]

But DIO is even better.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

But Def Leppard are better than Dio.

 

[Goreripper]

Pfft! No they're not. 'On Through the Night' was great, though.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yes they are. If I was Vivian, and I was touring and had the chance of playing Dio songs every night or songs like Photograph, Too Late For Love, Animal, Women, Let It Go, Bringin' On The Heartbreak, Another Hit & Run, High N Dry, Rock Rock Till You Drop, Lets Get Rocked, Make Love Like A Man, Two Steps Behind, Stagefright, Hysteria, etc.. I know what I'd be choosing.

(And yes, Def Leppard have been opening most of their shows on their last tour with the entire side 1 of High N Dry, Let It Go through to Switch 625).

 

[Goreripper]

You can't win this argument Trent. Dio and Def Leppard are two different kinds of band, but I know that if I was a guitar player into metal as opposed to melodic rock, I'd want to be in Dio. Because they're better.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I know that, its not really an argument. I'm just saying if I was Viv I'd rather be in Def Leppard so I can understand why he is doing what he is doing.

 

[KoichCPA]

I'd rather play for Avril Lavigne, cos she rawks.

 

[The Amazer]

too true, ohhhh so true.

 

[Goreripper]

ANother reason Campbell prefers to be in Leppard is because he hates Ronnie James Dio.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah I know that is the reason why he left (not being paid fairly and stuff), but DIO are still better.

 

[Goreripper]

I fully agree.

 

[KoichCPA]

How could anyone hate Dio?

he's fluffiest smurf ever.
