There was hair, smoke machines, leather, loud music and hysteria in the studio for this week`s profile interview (and that was just Mario`s warm up routine!!)

We were delighted to be joined by the one and only Joe Elliott of the legendary rock band "Def Leppard".

Among many things Joe told us about the making of their fourth studio album 'Hysteria', which sold over 25 million copies worldwide, including 12 million in the US, and producing seven smash hit singles!

The album is the follow-up to the band's 1983 break through Pyromania. Hysteria's creation took over three years and also experienced many delays, including a terrible car accident where drummer Rick Allen’s lost his left arm in 1984 but the band insisted he remain with them which he did and kept playing.

"When we released Sugar to Pop radio, it took off and spread like wildfire. It did start off in stripclubs, it was one of those songs, its a great pole dancing song, I`m sorry but it is!"

The song gained worldwide success 10 months after the album came out and they then became one of the biggest selling bands in history within 3 months!
