It was also released on the Make Love like a Man single in 1992 (from Adrenalize).

My immense adoration for Def Leppard comes as no surprise, especially to people who have been following my blog andor twitter page.

To me, they are the perfect rock act and I dont see myself connect with another bands music on such deep, emotional level as I did with Def Leppard s.

Theres just something so special about these hardworking Sheffield guys and their turbulent, but exceptional career, spawning some of the most brilliant rock classics of all time I can talk all day and night about Def Leppards accomplishments and unquestionably legacy, starting with their raw debut in 1981 with On Through The Night, moving on to the biggest blockbuster of the 80s, Hysteria (1987) and end up with their latest self-titled release in 2015, proving that they can still blow our minds away with solid rock music.

The majority of rock fans are well aware of classics like Love Bites or Bringin on the Heartbreak, but there are a couple of more mellow rockers that deserve your attention.

Leppard s 90s releases, especially, are filled with beautiful ballads which unfortunately are not as popular as their 80s classics.

The ballad comes from their 2002 release, titled X and is their last UK Top 40 hit single, surprisingly.

This tune became a major reason why I fell in love with the album, as it was the first X song I heard back in the day.

The crying guitars, accompanied by Joe Elliott s heavyhearted but hopeful vocals are drawing the perfect ballad picture for me.

The lyrics are what caught my attention in the first place, as I found myself in them.

It wasnt as commercially successful as their previous releases but who the hell cares Unbelievable is unbelievably astonishing.

Not as gloomy as Long Way to Go, but sweeter, more uplifting with such a memorable anthem-like ending.

Both ballads are the only two songs from X not co-credited by a member of Def Leppard.

The song is a beautiful confession; the protagonist is proclaiming his love and is ready to give his everything for that special person.

Slang, along with X are the two albums to which critics didnt do much justice, despite being absolutely phenomenal.

I mean, just listen to the elegant guitars and Joe s perfect vocal harmonies and tell me how it is possible to say something bad about the song or the album Not to mention that Blood Runs Cold is another beautiful tribute to the late Steve Clark, who died of an alcohol poisoning.

Def Leppard turned their immense pain over the loss of their friend to a superb ballad.

In addition to their timeless classics, fans got the opportunity to enjoy one newly recorded song, the power ballad When Love and Hate Collide.

The history of that tune dates back to their 1992 album Adrenalize; its demo was actually the last recorded guitar solo by Leppard s original guitarist, Steve Clark before he died in 1991.

Not surprised at all, the tune is so attractive; you must have a heart of stone to not fall in love with it.

Two Steps Behind is another ballad with a long history, going back to 1989, when Joe recorded the original demo.
