Actually it is Def Leppard, who are also a shining example of good intentions gone bad, Def Leppard [ or most probably Joe Elliot] wanted to be the biggest band in the world and he achieved it, along the way he took a reasonably talented hard rock band with some interesting ideas and pissed all away in the name of commerce imho .


You're not wrong. The majors sucked all those the bands dry of ther true poison but still made a fortune in the process. Sad but true.

Nutz were kind of the immediate predecessors of all that. Saw them a couple of times supporting the Sabs on the Technical Ecstasy tour and again on their own at The Marquee and they were potentially the most interesting of the lot. Not to be though.
