But HEAVEN IS girls getting tits out.

Anyone see what I did there? Eh? Eh?

They were the pioneers of that era and defined the era on their own. You just can't say that about Motley Crue or Def Leppard.

Maybe in Europe, that holds true for Oasis. But in America, that's the way it was for Def Leppard at one time, as well as Motley Crue. All depends on where you live I guess.

Hard to say.
Drums - Crue is better (obviously)
Guitars - Leppard is better
Bass - tie
Vocals - tie

Setlists: Crue had the best setlist ever in 2005. Def Leppard X tour had a very good setlist but after those years both bands just relied on the same-ol-same-ol setlist which pisses me off.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Def Leppard ruled the world at one point as well.

Dunno about Motley Crue.

I'd say at each one's height, Def Leppard was far bigger than Motley Crue. I think Motley, for better or worse, will leave a more lasting legacy.

If they do end up leaving "more of lasting legacy" it will be for Crue's image that Oli so descriptively described in his previous few posts.

I was about to say the exact same thing.

I love Motley Crue to death but I'm not gonna lie, they'll be remembered for the drugs and trouble they caused, not for their in-depth, deep songwriting skills that they posess.

When both bands pass Def Leppard will be remembered for their temporary status of ruleing the world and their string of hits from the Pyromania to Adrenalize albums.

Motley Crue will be remembered for the frontman that killed someone from Hanoi Rocks, the drummer that beat up his wife, the bassist that died from a drug overdose and the guitairist that had back pains.

I like Motley better, but I can't argue that at all.

But that's part of the allure of the Crue, isn't it?

Just came across this while re-reading the topic.

That's the image of more or less every other band and genre of rock. It's been going since the early days of blues and it shows no sign of letting up.

I'll go on record as saying The Beatles probably took more drugs than Motley Crue ever have.
