Cronología de la banda

1977

Formation of Def Leppard in Sheffield

Def Leppard was formed in Sheffield, England, in 1977. The band's origins trace back to a group called Atomic Mass, which included Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Doubleday. Pete Willis joined the group shortly thereafter. The formation marked the beginning of what would become one of the most successful English rock bands, integrating themselves into the emerging new wave of British heavy metal movement during the late 1970s.

1980

Release of Debut Album On Through the Night

In 1980, Def Leppard released their first studio album, On Through the Night. The album featured the original lineup including lead vocalist Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, drummer Rick Allen, and guitarists Steve Clark and Pete Willis. This debut effort brought the band moderate success, reaching the Top 15 in the UK charts. Though it received limited attention outside the UK, it laid the foundation for their melodic hard rock style that would soon gain broader recognition.

1981

High 'n' Dry Album and Collaboration with Producer Mutt Lange

Def Leppard's second studio album, High 'n' Dry, was released in 1981 and marked a turning point owing to the collaboration with producer Mutt Lange. Lange's production helped define the band’s signature polished melodic hard rock sound. The album’s single "Bringin’ On the Heartbreak" gained notable attention and became one of the first rock videos played on MTV in 1982. Although the album charted decently at around the Top 30 and 40 in the UK and US, it elevated the band's profile significantly.

1982

Guitarist Pete Willis is Replaced by Phil Collen

In 1982, a significant lineup change occurred as guitarist Pete Willis was replaced by Phil Collen. This shift further solidified Def Leppard's lineup which has remained largely stable since then. The new guitar dynamic contributed to the band’s evolving sound that would achieve major commercial success in the following years. The timing of this change was crucial as the band prepared to record their breakthrough third album.

1983

Breakthrough with Pyromania Album

January 1983 saw the release of Def Leppard's third studio album, Pyromania. The album was a commercial breakthrough, achieving No. 2 on the US album charts and earning Diamond certification in the US. It featured hits such as "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages," which topped the US Rock Tracks chart and reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Pyromania's success elevated Def Leppard to international stardom and established their reputation as leading figures in the 1980s rock scene.

1987

Massive Success with Hysteria Album

Def Leppard released their fourth album, Hysteria, in 1987, which was more pop-oriented than previous works. This album topped charts in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia and remained on charts for over two years. Hysteria was certified 12× platinum in the US and sold over 30 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time. It spawned six Top 20 US singles, including the number one hit "Love Bites" and major hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Rocket." This album significantly cemented Def Leppard's commercial and cultural legacy.

1991

Death of Guitarist Steve Clark

In 1991, Def Leppard suffered a tragic loss with the death of guitarist Steve Clark. Clark was a key member contributing to the band's sound and songwriting.

Despite the loss, Def Leppard continued forward, recording their next album as a four-piece group, demonstrating resilience and commitment to their career.

1992

Release of Adrenalize and Chart-Topping Success

Def Leppard recorded and released Adrenalize in 1992, their first studio album after the death of Steve Clark. The album debuted at number one on the UK, US, and Australian charts. It included several hits such as "Let's Get Rocked," which became their biggest single in numerous countries, and "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad," a top 10 hit across the US, UK, and Canada. The success of Adrenalize confirmed Def Leppard's continued relevance in the evolving rock landscape of the early 1990s.

1993

Addition of Guitarist Vivian Campbell and Retro Active Release

After the completion of Adrenalize, guitarist Vivian Campbell joined Def Leppard, completing a stable and enduring lineup. In 1993, the band released Retro Active, a collection that included new songs along with B-sides and outtakes. Notably, it featured the acoustic hit "Two Steps Behind," which reached the Top 5. Campbell’s addition revitalized the band's creative dynamics, allowing them to maintain their signature sound with fresh energy.

1995

Vault Compilation and Continued Popularity

Def Leppard released their greatest hits album Vault in 1995, featuring the UK No. 2 hit "When Love & Hate Collide." The compilation album reached the Top 10 in multiple countries and achieved 5× platinum status in the US. Vault served as a testament to Def Leppard's successful career and enduring appeal, encapsulating their impact in the rock and hard rock genres over nearly two decades since their formation.

Historia de Def Leppard

Def Leppard: Del acero de Sheffield al rock de estadios

Def Leppard, provenientes del corazón industrial de Sheffield, Inglaterra, irrumpieron en la escena en 1976, convirtiéndose en una piedra angular de la Nueva Ola del Heavy Metal Británico. Su viaje, sin embargo, los llevó mucho más allá de las hordas de rockeros de principios de los 80, culminando en una carrera marcada por un éxito comercial masivo e himnos que llenan estadios.

La alineación principal de la banda desde 1992 consiste en la potente sección rítmica de Rick Savage (bajo, coros) y Rick Allen (batería), liderada por el carismático Joe Elliott (voz principal) y flanqueada por el doble ataque de guitarras de Phil Collen (guitarra, coros) y Vivian Campbell (guitarra, coros).

Su álbum debut, "On Through the Night" (1980), aunque alcanzó el Top 15 en el Reino Unido, no logró causar un impacto significativo en otros lugares. No fue hasta su segundo álbum, "High 'n' Dry" (1981), producido por el legendario Mutt Lange, que Def Leppard encontró verdaderamente su firma sonora. La influencia de Lange ayudó a dar forma a su sonido de hard rock melódico, dando nacimiento al icónico "Bringin' On the Heartbreak", uno de los primeros videos de rock en adornar la pantalla de MTV en 1982.

La llegada de Phil Collen en 1982 consolidó la alineación que los propulsaría al estrellato mundial. Su tercer álbum, "Pyromania" (1983), estalló en la escena, impulsado por el doble poder de "Photograph" y "Rock of Ages". Estos temas dominaron la lista estadounidense Rock Tracks y entraron en el Top 20 del Hot 100. "Pyromania" alcanzó el estatus de Diamante en los EE. UU., llegando al puesto número 2 en la lista de álbumes. También llegó al Top 20 del Reino Unido, aunque su impacto en otros lugares siguió siendo limitado.

La historia de Def Leppard es de perseverancia, evolución y un talento innegable. Se abrieron camino desde la escena underground del heavy metal hasta la vanguardia del rock de estadios, dejando una huella imborrable en la historia de la música rock.
