Damning With Faint Praise

I'm sorry. I can't bring myself to voluntarily listen to Def Leppard.

I tried to click the link, but my brain jumped out of my head and punched me in the face and said "Oh Hell No!"

The bright side is that since my brain was alfresco, I didn't feel a thing.    



7:45 PM

That was horrid.

Not as awful as expected? What were YOU expecting?    



7:45 PM

You should play that in your house to get rid of the ants. Wait, do ants have ears?    



8:09 PM

Nick, funny, my brain said "Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked."

To which the other voice inside my head responded, couldn't that have been expressed 'let's get rocked by a factor of four?'"

To which, the first voice said, "I see your point, but I'm not sure if it's the "rocked" part that we're multiplying, or the "getting."

"I never knew that Def Leppard was that complicated."

"It wouldn't be, if they used proper mathematical notation."

So I succumbed.


Ubie - I was expecting "Pour Some Sugar On Me" levels of awful. Or to put it in terms you're more familiar with, "Smashing Pumpkins-bad."    



9:13 PM

I worked a Def Leppard show around 1990. They started on time, played their single first, took requests from the audience during the mandatory "unplugged" section, and ended without the usual "encore" charade.

For all that, they have my undying gratitude.    



10:40 PM

Nick: when if comes to pop music, if sysm says to click the link: you click the link.

Sysm: the reason it doesn't sound awful is because it sounds exactly like the Blondie version. Except that the vocals aren't nearly as good.    



11:47 PM

I'm sorry, but I think I just threw up again.

Oh, Sysm. I'm going to have to go digging around in my early 80s vault to get you back.    



5:35 PM

But Dr. S, my brain lept from my skull and beat me about the face. You can't just ignore that.    



6:46 AM

Super color scheme, I like it! Good job. Go on.
