Def Leppard vs. Whitesnake

Well as any good Leppard or Snake fans knows these 2 mega groups are or were I guess co-headlining in the UK only (too bad for me, I will settle for Poison in America). They are both great groups but I think Def Leppard are the better band. How about you?

Their classic songs are mandatory for jam sessions, like Fool for your lovin, Walking in the shadows of the blues, Don't break my heart again, Slow an easy, Ain't no love in the heart of the city (ok, this is a cover) Here i go again or Still on the night. And talking bout players, Whitesnake witout discussion (Cozy Powell, Ian Paice, Bernie Marsden, Jon Lord, Jon Sykes, Neil Murray, Rudy Sarzo, Reb Beach, Tommy Aldridge, Marco Mendoza between others..and of course mr. David Coverdale.); ▶ Reply to This

Really though, there's a HUUUUGE amount of talent in that band, in any of its versions. A lot of that can be acredited to David Coverdale's GROUNDSHAKING singing. I have to say I'm a little partial to the oooold WS and the WS with John Sykes in it. It was asked earlier what album could compare to Hysteria, Pyromania or... the other one I can't remember. Whitesnake (the album) alone had almost all hits on it. Pyromania not so much and Hysteria had a few.

But you know what, Def Leppard was pretty awesome too, though I think a whole lot of it's charm was in the member that died. RIP Steve Clark. He may have not been the technician, but he brought heart to those songs. BTW Rick, is one of my favorite drummers, it is AMAZING what he overcame. Rick Sav is a babe, which is funny because you hardly ever see him in videos and stuff.

So I pick WHITESNAKE =D; ▶ Reply to This

And no albums that have sold as good as Hysteria. I'm not downing Whitesnake cause I am a huge fan of them as well, but I prefer Def Leppard.; ▶ Reply to This
