Title: Lame guitar work; mostly lame vocals
Review: That anyone who liked Def Leppard would like this disc is a mystery. Leppard's signature sound--the dual guitar work--is conspicuously absent here. Anyone who thinks otherwise is brain dead. The leads are there (or at least an attempt is there). But the rhythm guitar is MIA. You might think for all his mouthiness that Warrant axeman Eric Turner could at least play the 2nd guitar parts to the old Leppard songs. You'd be mistaken. Some of the vocal stuff on this disc is okay. Some of it is hideous. Overall this tribute makes you wonder two things: 1.) For the artists to get the rights to do these songs, they had to agree to not play the songs as they were originally (read: screw them up), or 2.) Def Leppard really was that good musically on their first two albums that even today some of "the 80s best" metal muscians still can't come close to doing their stuff as well as they did.
Is the review positive or negative?
