Madison, WI - Media Review Quotes

By Madison Capital Times

Though Def Leppard is capable of producing some reasonably catchy tunes, the majority of its music is just as unmelodic, just as uninspired, and just as bad as that of most of its counterparts.

The concert was an example of everything that is bad about heavy metal, and very little of what is good.

Def Leppard made the mistake of substituting style of substance, figuring that with enough volume and flashy lights, people won't realize just how bad most of the songs are.

Wrong.

No laser show could cover up the plodding monotony of songs like 'Women' or 'Let It Go'.

Bo amount of volume could disguise the fact that the musicianship in the band is just not that impressive.

The staple of any heavy metal band is the guitarist and Def Leppard is unlucky enough to have two who manage to use every cliche in the book.
