In the late 80’s I remember seeing Def Leppard t-shirts all over the place. Most of the time they were on long haired high school kids a few years older then me. I have to admit I was a little bit frightened of them.
A few years later in 1992 my best friend bought their album Adrenalize. He listened to it all the time and told me I would definitely like it too, but I was skeptical. I don’t think I actually came around until I heard the song “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad” on the radio. He was right; I never bought a t-shirt though.
