Have you heard their first EP, "Don't Touch me There"? The first two tracks are throw-aways, but "Bad Times" is great. It's not original, by any means, but it taps the same vein Accept did, that is, some AC/DC + energy & flow. Great ****.

==========

I actually haven't listened to much Def Leppard. I always assumed they were just gay cock rock who were notorious because their drummer was mutilated. I always held it against them that a one-armed dude could play their drum tracks. I guess I'll have to check them out.
That single/EP was released before their debut album and if I have heard it, it was too long ago to remember it well enough now, will check it out again.

Def Leppard got their bad rap on Hysteria and their links with hair metal, but before that in their early days, they were actually a decent metal band.

Glad you like them, that Venom album at times sounds so bad that it ends up being a classic. Its much like the same logic that surrounds those worst of Hollywood B-Movie films by people like ED Wood etc...they`re so bad that they end up being classics.

Just looked up the Raven one on Amazon - cheapest is like $38???

Regarding this New Wave of British Heavy Metal...can someone tell me if there was an older, or oldish, wave of British Heavy Metal?

An older wave would be the generation of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Free, UFO and Black Sabbath etc, but these bands evolved over a period of time, as opposed to the NWOBHM which firmly established itself and identity in just a couple of years. Also most of those older bands were more hard rock than metal anyway.

In fact my journal is currently focusing on this time period of the early 1970s at the moment. Just click the link at the bottom of this post "Pounding Decibels"

Yeah, after giving it more thought over the last day or so I did think of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath as probable for that OWOBHM, but thanks for clearing that up.

As for this thread? It's pretty awesome. I never knew that so many "Satanic" leaning bands were part of the catagory. Learned about a lot of stuff here, thank you for the read!
