Let’s Get, Let’s Get, Let’s Get a Drummer with an Arm

For as long as I can remember I’ve been a Def Leppard fan. When I was in my early teens at Hysteria broke, they became one of the first hard rock bands that I was exposed to. I love ALL of their stuff and only stopped buying their new music after Euphoria in 1999 (great album by the way).Their new covers album, Yeah!, is getting some really positive reviews, so much so that I’m thinking about picking it up. That being said, I am about to expose a deep, dark plot involving The Leps that may go all the way to the President (of Geffen).

Yesterday I was browsing the ITunes Top 100 Albums list when I noticed this. Check these two covers out:

High School Musical [SOUNDTRACK]

Yeah! – Def Leppard

Notice anything strange? No, not the creepiness of Rick Allen’s missing arm – The covers are eerily similar! The colors, the stances, the use of stage lights in the titles. Here, shrink em down and look how similar they are:

See what I mean?!?!?! I refuse to think this is an accident either. This is clearly a record company ploy to boost record sales. Don’t believe me? Here’s the reasoning:

1. High School Musical has been a huge hit for months.

2. Little kids listen to High School Musical.

3. Soccer moms are the people most likely to be picking up a copy of High School Musical for their kids.

4. Soccer moms are likely to have been fans of Def Leppard in their hey day.

5. Soccer mom walks in to Best Buy, Target, or Wal Mart and sees Yeah! on display from a distance. Assuming it’s High School Musical, they approach it to buy for their little kid. They see their mistake but say to themselves “Oh, Def Leppard, I got banged in the backseat of dad’s Chevy to Pour Some Sugar on Me. Maybe I should check this out.”

6. Soccer mom buys Yeah!

Call Donk jaded, call him a conspiracy theorist, call him someone with far too much time on his hands, but I say I’m 100 percent right on this one.

Def Leppard, shame on you. I’m taking back my Def Leppard patch, Def Leppard wristbands, Def Leppard blender, and Def Leppard shaving cream with extra aloe protection. Well, maybe not the shaving cream – It keeps my face so damned silky-smooth!!!
