Top 5 Def Leppard Party Songs

Happy Father's Day!

I was listening to Def Leppard while en route to Kings Island (a big amusement park here in Ohio) when it dawned on me that it is very hard to pick the band's top five party songs. I decided narrowing it down would be a good challenge for all of us. Here's my list. Leave yours in the comments section.

 

5. Pour Some Sugar On Me
4. Make Love Like a Man
3. Slang
2. Photograph
1. Wasted

Anderson Cooper Mocks Metal Theme Song

A Canadian metal band named Cryptic Murmurs wrote a song about CNN anchor Anderson Cooper called... "Anderson Cooper." Basically... this just rules. I love it when Anderson throws the devil horns. Metal for life!

Best Wishes To Vivian Campbell 

Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has announced he has Hodgkin's lymphoma. Campbell made the announcement via his Facebook page, citing a constant cough as a warning sign to get checked out.

Campbell is in the middle of chemo but will tour with Def Leppard later this summer.

I know I speak for everyone here when I say I hope Vivian gets well soon. Cancer is no joke and my best to him and the rest of Def Lep.
