Band Name Origins:
- DEF LEPPARD - In November 1977, the first Def Leppard rehearsal takes place in Sheffield (UK). Lead singer Joe Elliott & the members renamed the band from Deaf Leopard (a name first coined by him at school in 1975) to Def Leppard. He wanted to use the odd spelling idea provided by the band Led Zeppelin's logo. Submitted by: Ronk
- When the band was still in school, they used to practice in the basement of Joe Elliott's house. One day they decided on a name, and Joe told his mum. "The name of our band is The Leopards." His mum replied, "Well, you're going to be a bunch of deaf leopards if you keep playing that loudly." Submitted by: Geno

Everytime I wanna rock I'm stuck inside my room Heaven knows I'm sick and tired of dancing with this broom Why They're Funny: I just get this really funny mental picture of a 15-year-old, pre-Def Leppard version of Joe Elliott, banished to his bedroom for doing who-knows-what, doing something very similar to that one scene in 'Risky Business' when Tom Cruise sings 'Old Time Rock 'n' Roll'. Cracks me up every time!

Hidden Messages:
"Love bites"
At the end of Love Bites, the 'voice' does not say "Jesus of Nazereth, go to Hell". From a documentary, they say Mutt Lang, an American, was always making fun of their British accent. So at the end where it sounds like someone is saying Hell, its mutt lang saying "Bloody Hell" in a thick english accent.

At the very end of the song the same voice that says "If you've got love in your sites, watch out, love bites" also says "Jesus of Nazareth, go to Hell."

Backwards Messages:

In the guitar solo of the song, one can faintly hear incoherent mumbling. After some investigation, I learned that they were the words "Brezhnev's got Herpes" and "F*** the Russians!". Makes sense considering the time period.
