Def Leppard are an English rock band formed in 1977 in Sheffield. They established themselves as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement of the early 1980s.
Def Leppard's music is a mixture of hard rock, AOR, pop and heavy metal elements, with its multi-layered, harmonic vocals and its melodic guitar riffs. The band's greatest commercial success came between the early 1980s and the early 1990s.

AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Although their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock, and heavy metal, the band themselves call it simply "rock and roll".
Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after their sister, Margaret Young, saw the initials "AC/DC" on a sewing machine. "AC/DC" is an abbreviation meaning "alternating current/direct current" electricity.
AC/DC's mammoth power chord roar became one of the most influential hard rock sounds of the '70s, and is now one of the defining sounds of rock and metal.
James Hetfield is an American musician, singer, and songwriter known for being the co-founder, lead vocalist, of the rock band Metallica. Metallica, influential American heavy metal band that, along with Slayer and Anthrax, developed the subgenre speed metal in the early and mid-1980s.
In 2001, the singer entered rehab during the recording of the heavy metal band's St. Anger to combat against "alcohol addiction." While drummer Lars Ulrich had a cocaine problem until 2008, frontman James Hetfield never touched coke or heroin. Alcohol was his drug of choice. But while his bandmates cooled off with the drinking as the years went on, Hetfield never slowed.
Metallica may have gone off to Never-Neverland if it weren't for the Rolling Stones. Lars Ulrich revealed that after a huge rift in 2004, the band nearly broke up for good. Metallica never sold out to the industry, they became a competitor in the industry.
