5.0 out of 5 stars Read this before ordering!, January 2, 2005

By	M. Myers (Kansas City, KS, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hysteria (DVD)

This is a DVD in the "Classic Albums" series, which has interviews with the band and Mutt and some other people tangentally related to the making of Hystera. This is NOT the "Hysteria" movie.

When I got this, I was pretty disappointed that Amazon mislabeled it. After watching it though I am very happy that I ended up with it and it's one of my most watched DVDs.

Strictly for music/recording nerds and Def Leppard fans, this is a well done documentary piece on what the band went through when recording Hysteria as well as the touring they did after Rick's accident. Musically it points out some of the nuances that one might miss through casual listening and some great bits which (thankfully, in some cases) never made it onto the album.

The DVD has a whole lot of Phil and Joe but Rick really shines on this too and special attention is given to Steve's contributions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you could possibly want to know about Hysteria!!!, March 12, 2005

By	Joy Elizabeth Teets (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hysteria (DVD)

Def Leppard is my favorite band of all time!! This DVD has everything about the making of Hysteria and more!!! There are tons of footage where the members talk about the songs and let you hear some original versions like the original version of Love Bites which I am very happy was not the final version but it's good to know that information anyway. There are a couple acoustic songs: Pour Some Sugar On Me and Hysteria. And it shows a real picture of the album charts when Hysteria was at #1! It's a very informative DVD that any Def Leppard fan must have in their collection!!! I also love when Phil Collen plays the guitar part of Love Bites because Love Bites is my favorite rock ballad ever made and it's cool to hear just that little part of Love Bites!!! I also recommend the DVD's Historia/In The Round In Your Face and Visualize/Video Archive because all 3 of these DVD's are must buy DVD's for any Def Leppard fan!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting look at the madness of Def Leppard, August 30, 2002

By	Def Voorhees "ryaoni_2000" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hysteria (DVD)

This DVD gives a real feel of what these guys went through to make the best rock album of all time. They give Steve Clark alot of credit for this album and his contribution to the band overall. This should shut the people up who say they don't appreciate Steve Clark anymore.

Pick this DVD up and watch the making of this album to the top of the charts. It is presented in widescreen with a very good picture and the sound quality is great. A very good look at the life of a band in the studio. Keep the faith. X is out now!
