It's pretty obvious that Hysteria sales-wise has a chance to come in the same region as Pyromania. With Hysteria, they haven't tried to make a copy of the Pyromania album, but they've further developed their own style and are sounding much more mature than their former material. The tracks are a bit more radio-oriented than the former stuff, but it's still really good shit. Two more Pyromania tracks, "Billy's Got a Gun" and "Too Late for Love", were interrupted by four new album tracks - "Armageddon It", the title track, "Hysteria", the US single off of the album, "Animal", and the sweet song of "Pour Some Sugar on Me". And Phil was also on stage during some encores with Bon Jovi earlier this year. Like you could see both guitar players playing four songs with Tesla when they toured through Holland. Only the two guitar players, Phil Collen and Steve Clark, in those four years went on stage once in a while with a band which was touring through the Netherlands. The last four years spent in the studio (except for a few months of rock gigs last year) must have felt as a lifetime imprisonment for the band. It seemed that the band were eager to go out and play. We heard "Women", the first new Hysteria track, a really heavy rock song with some powerful vocals by Joe Elliott. Def Leppard opened with "Stagefright", followed by the next Pyromania song, "Rock! Rock! (Til You Drop)". Fans of Agent Steele obviously aren't the same people that listen to Def Leppard, of course.Īfter a good support slot by the Dutch band Jail Break, it was time for Def Leppard to enter the stage. With a ticket price of $4, people who could prove that they bought a ticket of the upcoming show of Agent Steele in the same venue could even get in free. But the band hasn't gained the same status in Holland as it has in America, which was obvious because at both gigs there were not more than 1000 people present. Reporter Scoots Moran was at the second try-out and was able to hear a lot of the tracks off of the upcoming album, 'Hysteria'. Hesitant of being thrown in front of 200,000 people at once after being in the studio for four years, Def Leppard decided to do a couple of try-outs in a medium-sized venue in Tilburg, 30 kilometers northeast of Eindhoven. This year it was Def Leppard, if you can speak of Def Leppard as being a British or English band with three of the band members living in Holland, and the biggest part of their success the band has gathered in America. ![]() Every year, as this year, there is a big hard rock act present to represent the English. ![]() This admission-free festival, in which bands of all kinds of music play on two stages, again attracted more than 200,000 visitors this year. On the 28th of June, Europe had its biggest festival in The Hague, called Parkpop Festival.
