Creem Profiles

DEF LEPPARD

(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

December 1, 1983

HOME: The land of Union Jacks.

AGE: Still wet behind the ears.

PROFESSION: Pyromaniacs.

HOBBIES: Rockin' till they drop, overcoming stagefright, howling' with "Mutt" Lange, listening to old Boston LPs, defining the rock of ages, sewing Union Jacks on their clothes.

LAST BOOK READ: Changing Spot's Diapers by Cheetah.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Picking a name that subliminally reminds the heavy metal fan of Led Zep.

QUOTE: "Hello America."

PROFILE: Rising from Sheffield, England, these HM screamers were barely out of their teens when they began capturing their native country, moving onto the U.S.A., hitting the top of the charts with "Photograph" and their new LP, and proving that they may well be the kings of the new wave of heavy metal.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
