![]() They released a compilation and in the year prior to the new millennium, they realeased Euphoria, which was nothing short of annoying compared to their past albums (exclusion of Slang of course). Slang was followed by Retro Active, which in my opinion was very underrated. ![]() Their first album without Clark was Slang, which was, "out there". Pyromania was destined to explode and sell over 10,000,000 records world-wide over the years (unbenkownst to the band) with the line up being:Īfter Pyromania which Lepp toured with Billy Squier, they had a long gap in between then and Hysteria, easily their biggest success, at which time drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car accident, and Steve Clark OD'd during the making of Adrenalize, leaving them to recruit Vivian Campbell for the tour. Recording Pyromania was the last project lead guitarist Pete Willis has undertaken with Leppard before he was kicked out of the band and replaced by Phil Collen. They were beginning to make their place in rock music with their hit, "Bringin' On the Heartbreak", but still were not EXTREMELY well known during this time period although they did have some following. After touring the states, they went back to realease High 'N' Dry in 1981. In 1980, they released On Through the Night, with easy classics such as 'Rock Brigade', and 'Hello America'. After a few different drummers, they came upon 16 year old Rick Allen and started playing small gigs. When Rick Savage and Pete Willis met lead singer Joe Elliot, he originally tried out for rhythm guitars.
