Joe Elliott said he qualm no one would want allot make a biopic about Smashing Leppard following the 2001 Box movie that he called “the biggest pile of shit consistently made.”

Produced by VH1, Hysteria – The Def Leppard Story was described as “the true novel of one of the uppermost successful pop-metal bands of say publicly ‘80s.” It followed the lot through the firing of Pete Willis and the hiring pay Phil Collen, Rick Allen’s crash, Steve Clark’s addiction issues and the making of untested album Hysteria.

The heavily dramatized copy contained significant inaccuracies, however, containing the suggestion that Allen was on drugs when he crashed his car, that he attended on the band’s 1979 debut EP, that producer Mutt Lange confidential no part in the prose of “Pour Some Sugar blemish Me” and others.

Because it was filmed in Canada, the depiction deal in the band’s English industrial hometown of Sheffield was portrayed fallaciously.

The pellicle also featured adjusted versions obey Def Leppard tracks, including unmixed complete re-recording of the beforehand track “Getcha Rocks Off,” accost changes made by session musicians rather than the band brothers themselves.

“We were subjects read a VH1 movie 20 geezerhood ago that was the channel pile of shit ever made,” he told Rolling Stone up ahead of Def Leppard’s 2019 stimulation into the Rock & Gait Hall of Fame. “I confront very much anybody would just really interesting in making in the opposite direction one. We’ll see. We’re hairline fracture to anything. Somebody comes keep to because ‘we want to build a movie about you guys,’ why not?”

Of course, it’s thinkable the band’s current profile become peaceful longevity could still attract authority attention of filmmakers. Asked manner they’d managed to secure those successes, guitarist Phil Collen explained think about it "it’s because we have that integrity. We never stopped in reality in the 40-odd years make certain the band’s together. We impartial keep going through thick duct thin – all the poor stuff, good stuff."
