Animal (Def Leppard ~ Acoustic Cover) - Dominic Valenti

Learning this song, it was hilarious to discover how badly I’ve been butchering the lyrics all these years lol. Here is something that happened when I was in 6th grade…the kids in my class decided to have a vote on which band was better, Def Leppard or Guns n Roses. GnR went first and got a ton of votes. Then they asked, “Who votes for Def Leppard?”, and the only 2 hands that went up were mine and Mark Clover’s haha. To anyone who isn’t a fan of 80’s hair bands, these 2 groups probably sound very similar. But to fans of the genre, they were worlds apart (just for the record, today I am a huge fan of them both). By the late 80’s, Def Leppard had fully embraced pop stardom. Which, if you go back and listen to their 1981 album High n’ Dry, is very surprising. That album, both vocally and guitar-wise, sounds like AC/DC! In just a few short years they went from that dirty rock n roll sound to 1987’s Hysteria (of course Pyromania is between the two, and sounds closer to Hysteria, but Hysteria is the record that launched them into the stratosphere). A few years before the 6th grade vote, I used to go over to my neighbor Rusty’s house and we would watch VHS tapes filled with Def Leppard videos. They were the first band that I got into that wasn’t my parent’s music. And I thought Joe Elliott was the coolest dude on the planet. There’s no one in history who ever made a mullet look better than he did! So here I am, 37 years later, remembering those days fondly. Until next time…watch out for the Rock Brigade!
