Part 6/7:
Interestingly, "Love Bites," another major hit from Hysteria, became Def Leppard's first and only number one single. Remarkably, the band had never played the song together before it reached that peak, compelling them to rehearse quickly before performing it live. The origins of "Love Bites" presented an unexpected twist, originating from an entirely different song concept, showcasing the band's knack for reinvention.
Elliott described "Love Bites" and its complex harmonies as daunting to perform live, particularly for Allen, who had facial vocal challenges. Despite the challenges, the band masterfully adapted and integrated the song into their live performances, further contributing to their legendary status.
