There are lots of heavy metal groups, but Deff Leppard is among the best in rock bands. This English group of 5 has been a real staple in the music industry. They have created lots of hits that are still influencing other musicians today. A large part of their appeal comes from their live shows.
The Deff Leppard tour is an amazing thing to see. There aren't many artists that can pull off the type of stage shows that these guys perform. They have lots of hits so they have a lot to perform. They bring a whole lot of energy to the stage.
The group is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. They have sold more than 100 million albums. This has given them a role in the history of heavy metal. They added a new guitarist, Vivian Campbell, in 1992 but the most of the original members from 1977 and 1978 are still present. Even the drummer, Rick Allen, who lost one arm is still make concert appearances.
A band with such a large number of hits can rock any music festival just by playing their classic hits. They had groundbreaking hits and a music video ("Bring on the Heartache") that made history. The Deff Leppard video was one of the very first metal videos to hit the airwaves.
