When the band formed in England in the late '70s, they were seen as part of Britain's new wave of heavy metal. But the band cited glam rock and early metal as heavier influences, and soon became a leader among the hair metal bands of the '80s. With their good looks and pop riffs, Leppard proved that metal could be attractive to a wider audience while maintaining its integrity. Unfortunately, Leppard's long career was full of tragedy, starting with an accident that cost drummer Rick Allen his arm. While this event set the stage for a long line of hardships for the band (guitarist Steve Clark would later die), it did not stop them. Rather than calling it quits or replacing Allen, the band encouraged him to learn to play the drums with one arm, going on to find even greater success.   Features Region 1 Keep Case Full Frame - 1.33 Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - English Interactive Features: Scene Access   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Paramount Release Date: 1/24/2006 Running Time: 89 minutes Original Release Date: 2001 Catalog ID: 874844 UPC: 00097368748446 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English Video: Color   Cast & Crew Esteban Louis Powell Anthony Michael Hall Karl Geary Robert Mandel - Director    Product Image
