Vault: Greatest Hits 1980 1995

vault.jpg
Vault covers a decade and a half of hits by the one-time wonder boys of the new wave of British metal, but perhaps inevitably concentrates on singles from the multiplatinum Pyromania and Hysteria. It offers little meaning beyond fun fun fun, but there are hooks here that Noel Gallagher would punch a paparazzo for. Includes "Photograph," "Animal," "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Bringin' on the Heartbreak," "Love Bites," "Hysteria," "Armageddon It," "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad," and more.

Songs From The Sparkle Lounge

Songs From The Sparkle Lounge

rickbd08.jpgCongratulations to Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen. Rick celebrates his 45th birthday today. At 15, Rick joined Def Leppard in 1978 after seeing an advertisment in the newspaper titled, "Leppard Loses Skins". After Def Leppard recorded their first ever EP, Rick auditioned and joined the band replacing Frank Noon/Tony Kenning.

In 1984 Rick lost his left arm when it was severed in an horrific car crash while driving through Sheffield, UK on New Years Eve. In 2001 Rick and his wife Lauren established the Raven Drum Foundation that promotes healing through the power of music. Recently, Rick was nominated for PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity, produced "The Freedom Sessions", an album with his wife Lauren and donated a motorcycle to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.
