DEF LEPPARD - WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG?

Def Leppard ended the Pyromania tour as one of the biggest rock bands in the world. They had sold millions of albums, conquered America and seemed destined to rule the rest of the decade.

Then everything started going off the rails.

In this episode, we revisit a revealing Def Leppard interview conducted as the band began work on what would eventually become Hysteria. At the time, they were filled with confidence, ambition and excitement about their future—but they had no idea that producer problems, enormous expenses and Rick Allen’s devastating accident would delay their next album for four and a half years.

We look at Mutt Lange’s initial departure, the disastrous sessions with Jim Steinman, Nigel Green’s attempt to recreate Mutt’s methods and why the pressure of following Pyromania became very different from the pressure Def Leppard experienced before becoming famous.

We also discuss the hunger that fuels young bands, Mutt Lange’s ability to recognize Def Leppard’s potential, the group’s complicated relationship with British audiences and what their parents thought when their sons suddenly became international rock stars.

ALEX LIFESON IN 1979

Rush fans know Hemispheres as one of the band's most ambitious albums—but the story behind it is every bit as fascinating as the music itself.

In this episode, Robert John Hadfield uncovers an incredible 1979 interview with Alex Lifeson recorded during the Hemispheres tour. Looking back in time, you'll hear Rush talk about the album they hadn't even begun recording yet—what would eventually become Permanent Waves. Along the way, Robert explores the hidden meaning behind the Hemispheres cover, the surprising identity of one of the people featured on it, the origin of "The Spirit of Radio," and why Rush decided to leave their epic concept pieces behind.

You'll also discover how a legendary Canadian radio station helped inspire one of Rush's greatest songs, hear fascinating stories from the road, and find out why Alex Lifeson and the band spent their downtime... roller skating through the arena halls.

If you love the stories behind classic albums and the moments that shaped rock history, this is one you won't want to miss.

VAN HALEN - WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST

Robert John Hadfield dives into one of the albums that helped define the transition from the 1970s into the hard rock explosion of the 1980s — Women and Children First by Van Halen. Using an incredible vintage issue of Circus Magazine from late 1980, Robert explores the idea that Van Halen may have truly been “the first ’80s band,” while reflecting on the energy, attitude, and larger-than-life charisma that made the group feel so different from everything that came before them.
