The guests dropping by the TMS studio throughout the season run the gamut from classic rockers to brand new members of some veteran acts, offering a balance of musical tastes.

Def Leppard, Bad Company and Meat Loaf were among those satirized.

Def Leppard's Phil Collen says most people don't want to buy a full "long playing" album any longer, and he's enjoying what that means.

The once-unusual move was done just before the Tom Cruise movie 'Rock of Ages' was released, but Joe Elliott says his band's inspiration for heading back to the studio was to one-up their record label.

Def Leppard has been on tour this summer but had to delay some shows and now we know why.  Joe Elliott's father had a heart attack back in April and suffered two more since then. His father, Joe Elliott Senior, passed away recently. Joe was at his father's bedside when he passed.
