This is Moshtalgia. A podcast about albums we love, albums that were important to us growing up.

Revisiting the monumental 'Hysteria' album by Def Leppard, a band that left an indelible mark on the music industry with their groundbreaking sound.

In this episode, dive deep into the heart of 'Hysteria,' exploring the intricate production by Robert John Mutt Lange and the band's journey through personal struggles and triumphs. With over 25 million copies sold, 'Hysteria' stands as a testament to Def Leppard's resilience and innovation.

Let Taylor and Bourney, with their infectious enthusiasm and detailed knowledge, guide you through each track, uncovering the layers of hard rock anthems and power ballads that defined an era. From the electrifying 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' to the soul-stirring 'Love Bites,' dissecting the elements that made this album a classic.

But it's not just about the music; it's about the stories behind it. We share anecdotes of tax exile in Dublin, the tragic accident that led drummer Rick Allen to relearn his craft, and the sheer determination that propelled Def Leppard to stardom despite the odds.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the band's discography, this episode is a treasure trove of moshtalgia and insight. So don your spandex pants, crank up the volume, and prepare to rock out as we celebrate the legacy of 'Hysteria.'

There's absurdity, snark, and blistering twin-microphone facts from Taylor and Bourney, fully harmonised with double-tracked wailing and complaining. We men do play on ten, to Valhalla and back.

Best served with beer and a side of silliness. Lie back and enjoy it. Come join us on a review of those now-vintage LPs we loved in the 1980s from the bands that parted us from our money.

It isn't just two friends chatting in front of microphone about their long-haired heavy metal days. Well it is, but also it's much more.

Dive deep into the spurious subconsious of two middle-aged metallers regaling the days of their youth with squirming stories, analogue anectodes, and antsy accusations from the east coast of Ireland. We name and shame, mostly ourselves.

Remember that first metal album? First concert? The rock ballad you first copped off to on a disco dancefloor with nervous hands and dry lips? Yeah, you do.

We let the hair on down the back, steal tapes, photocopy covers, and even buy a bullet-belt. We deftly sew patches on our denim jackets, and pilfer magazines in the shop.

Offering our metal heroes no quarter. We praise and prosletyse, we ridicule and rile. We spar with each other and the teenage illusions we had when hearing these masterpieces.

Armed with a sonic scalpel, we cleave our way through track by track, appraise hits and filler a generation on. Who dared battle the Saracen? Who gave love a bad name? Who danced on glass? Listen and find out.

Tune in to rock radio again, hear it as it was, all entombed by fat and freckled guitar segues brought to you by our resident riffer, that man from Annamoe; Pat 'The Fingerer' Shaughnessy!

We rifle through the pages of once-mighty UK rock organ Kerrang for hot takes of the late Eighties. Hear the words of Malcolm Dome, Dante Bonutto, Sylvie Simmons, Howard Johnson, Chris Watts, Alison Joy, and Mick Wall as they gurn over the news, interviews, and reviews of the day.

Moshtalgia exposes many a metal mistake, a misheard lyric, and as much madness as your mind can muster. You will hear the voices of the bands giving comment directly here on our podcast. Their voices voiced through our own larynxes that is.

Hear the doyen of UK rock radio, Tommy Vance, along with producer Tony Wilson, deliver rock and metal weekly for a scant-yet-prescious two FM hours on the UK's BBC Radio One.

If you know it, you're in for a treat on this show. If you don't, you're still in for a treat on this show. Rock on Tommy! It doesn't matter what age you are.

We absorb musician autobiographies and gorge on metal authors to skull it back, slurp it down, and regurgitate back up for your listening pleasure.

Moshtalgia is a delirious day trip to the past with a gimlet wince and a black-toothed grin at rock and metal from the 1980s.

Just let me rock! Moshtalgia with Taylor and Bourney. A proper podcast.
