The first lines of the song “Rock of Ages” are “Gunter glieben glauten globen,” and many people have tried to figure out what they imply. In fact, the words have no significance.

Joe met Wills when he was 18 and chose to join the band as a guitarist. Wills, on the other hand, chose him as the main singer. Vivian Campbell was a member of Dio and Whitesnake before joining Def Leppard. ¹¹⁾

Wills (guitarist), Kenning (guitarist and bassist), and Savage were the original members of the band (drummer). Joe Elliott offered the moniker “Deaf Leopard,” which was originally a band name he came up with when writing reviews for fictitious rock bands in his English class. The spelling was slightly changed at Tony Kenning's suggestion to make the name appear less like that of a punk band. ¹⁴⁾

Rick Allen, the band's drummer, lost his left arm in a vehicle accident on December 31, 1984, while racing in his Corvette outside Sheffield. ¹⁵⁾
