By what measure have Def Leppard failed? And I don't think you can solely attribute Bon Jovi's success and longevity to Desmond Child.

I totally agree. Desmond's song writing is outdated and hasn't done anything for this band in 15 years. A modest hit with MAM but that’s it.

Indeed, Mutt Lange sh1ts over Desmond Child, bar one or two exceptions of course...

Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Bryan Adams best work, Hysteria and even Nickelback..

oOo..but then again Des has some good stuff with Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice Cooper and The Loaf...

My brain hurts.

His facebook account is utterly ridiculous, so maybe.

Has to be. No one can possibly be as ignorant about music as he is.

Mutt is a decent producer but I don't like most of the generic songs he wrote.

Hysteria and Adrenalize didn't stand the test of time, unlike the songs Child wrote for Bon Jovi.

You won't win fans with songs like "Let's get Rocked". Seriously, a 30+ years old dude singing about not wanting to take out the trash?

Even more hilarious is that one of your favorite bands is considered as one the most androgynous

But you will win friends with songs like "Hysteria", "Animal", "Armageddon It", "Love Bites", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Photograph", "Stand Up", "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" - need I continue?

oh and Hysteria did stand the test of time.

and your point does not make sense when comparing Def Leppard to Jovi, a 50 year old guy singing WGIGO and This Is Our House? Yeah okay mate...
