"I
remember Def Leppard in 1980 - Joe Elliot's tight leather trousers
and all! The support band, Witchfynde had a very good single out at the
time 'Give Em Hell' which is worth downloading for any old metalheads out
there. The lead singer - Steve Bridges - wore a tassled leather waistcoat
and really rocked out for a support band! Sledgehammer, the other support
band were from High Wycombe I think and appeared on a compilation album,
'Metal For Muthas' with the song, um 'Sledgehammer'"
This lot made in huge in America and still
tour today in Britain's biggest venues. On the way though the band had to
deal with the tragedies of the death of Steve Clark and Rick Allen
learning to play a special drum kit with his feet and one arm after he
lost the other in a road accident.
