The Parties

Back in the days of Hysteria, at the height of Fame and Fortune, Def Leppard was on the lips of every female around the world. Female fans couldn't get enough of the boys from Sheffield and they ooozed sex appeal and talent.

Some female fans were considered groupies and Def Leppard had backstage passes with hidden meanings, such as Dick Licker and you had to be willing to do anything to get to meet the guys and I mean anything. The female fans flashed them and in some cases, the females had to be willing to flash the roadies and let them feel their boobs to get backstage. The Tour managers video shows that if you haven't viewed it or if you have, you know what I am talking about.

Female groupies became a popular group with the boys and they had their share and some of the groupies wrote for the world to see, their experiences with the men from Def Leppard, giving explicit details of their few minutes with them on the internet.

That was no secret with Def Leppard but the real secret is the rumor that Def Leppard had parties underneath the stage. The rumored parties under the stage were supposed to be happening while Joe and Rick and Steve were on stage performing. The rumored parties were said to be wild and full of sex and lots of drinking.

Naked women everywhere under the stage partying with the boys and naughty little things going on while up onstage, the band performed in front of thousands of people. Were these parties really going on? Only the band and the others that were there could tell you. These are rumors and rumors tend to get out of hand but back in the days of Hysteria, their fame and fortune hit them hard and fast and although they remained down to earth, they ate it up and loved the fact that women were throwing themselves at them.

The boys from Sheffield knew how to party and party they did but they were young, wild and free as all of us have been at one point and wanted to live life to its fullest and they did and could have any woman they wanted.

The world was their oyster and no woman was out of their league for these rising rock stars. Whether or not there were parties under the stage is speculation at best but the wild boys of Hysteria have long since grown and matured and are settled down and married, most with children. The groupie days are gone but in the height of their popularity, they were the wild ones, now they are happy if they can just sleep after a long trek across country and a night of peforming for thousands of fans, although years later, they can still have any woman they want, providing they were not married.
