Unta Gleeben Locken Loben?

[sean79]

I think it's Dutch for "we have one too many arms."

I found an article....

This begins with a voice that says something like "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen." It doesn't mean anything. Producer Mutt Lange got tired of counting the band in with "1, 2, 3, 4...," so he started saying this. The band would sometimes make up stuff when asked what it means.

I hate those douche bags

Gee really? Tell us how you really feel

I remember roller skating to Def Leppard in Junior High, them and Quiet Riot.

I'm a fan, too. Maybe not very hardcore, but defintely enough to buy a greatest hits CD, then some albums if I'm so inclined. Steve Clark was such a cool player. Ah, and I also read that the intro ("Unda etc. whatever") was just Mutt talking nonsense to count them off, and they kept it. I actually always thought is was German or something, spoken in a funny voice.

P.S. anyone watch Lep at the VH1 Rock Honors last year? They were pretty damn good, IMO.

I knew right away this was a DL thread. "What do you want?....I want Rock n Roll...yes I do!"

I may have heard of them.

 

[casterway]

It's gibberish done by Mutt Lange

Here's another thought...

How many of you knew what the thread was about, just from reading the title?

figured it was...figured right...

Nope, I'm from the Netherlands and I can vouch that those words do NOT come from the Dutch language. But translating your line would result in "We hebben een arm te veel."

Isn't the problem that they have one too few?

acoutic version of Hysteria

I like the acoustic version of Hysteria that Joe and Phil do on Youtube. I actually wore out 2 cassettes of the Hysteria album.

DL was one of my high school favorites, along with...
Boston
Judas Priest
AC/DC
Molly Hatchet
Van Halen
Quiet Riot
Scorpions
and




Duran Duran .... I know, I know.... as he shamefully leaves the room...

Me too, Men at Work as well when I was 12.

But my tastes, attitudes and opinions have changed since then, (for better or worse, who can say) I wouldnt despise them as much if they didnt take themselves so seriously, and I think the thing that really gets me is that you have to hear that a-hole sing "pour some sugar on me" acoustic stylie as the outtro to all those Classic Albums shows on VH1.

"This is rock and roll, were not a jazz band"

Oh shut your pie hole, I hate those guys (especially the lead singer)

The songs were about nothing, the productions sound terrible to my ears now, and this contributed to the further demise of country music.

And there is something that pisses me off about such empty art being so commercially successful that in some peoples minds it actually gives the art creedence.

No I think it's Douche for we have one too many arms.

There was no doubt in my mind. I thought "Awsome! Def Leppard thread!" I read it and my mind played the rest on its own.

thanks man, I feel better now, ok back to my cage

I think they had ten arms when Pyromania was recorded.

 

[bonemachine78]

i knew what that was

i used to watch a lot of vh1 rock docs. that being said... i hate def lepard or however you spell it and all that other stuff that sounds like them. basically the list posted earlier including boston, etc. will do. though i'd put guns and roses, poison, motley crue and any other hair glam band from the 80s on a list of bands i hate. i'd also make the deplorable move of adding kiss to that list. i know everyone seems to love kiss for some inexplicable reason, but i hate kiss. i'll probably be stoned for this post by saying i hate guns and roses and kiss.

i'm not bitter, but i hate that music. and i understand some great musicians actually listened to that stuff like kurt cobain liking boston blah blah blah.

i can't help it here though guys. my musical tastes have expanded but i'm a punk girl at heart, and i just don't like overproduced excessive music.

I wouldn't think of Appetite for Destruction as overproduced at all, especially in the context of the times. I'm sure there was plenty of excess, just not at the mixing board To each his (or her) own, I guess.
