Def Leppard
For these England natives, "Hello America" was an appropriate song; telling about a young boy who wanted to visit America. In the early 1980s, Def Leppard got their wish. Readers will learn about Def Leppard's history from how they started to various tragedies that would change the band forever. Current members Rick Savage, Joe Elliot, Rick Allen, Phil Collen, and Vivian Campbell still know how to rock.

Rebels of Rock series. These "unauthorized rockographies" are good starting points for rock-and-roll researchers (though they should take the super-stoked narration with a grain of salt). Each volume provides detailed descriptions of the title band's members, history, and career highs and lows. Clean design, including. many photographs, make the information easy to follow; photo captions tend to repeat rather than extend the texts. Discographies are included.
