Happy LEO Power Up Day everyone, somehow half the month has already passed up by... I went ahead and powered up all the liquid LEO tokens I had today which was a total of 333.442. Not too bad of a power up, and I'm already close to my goal of 1,500 for this year, today my total staked tokens is now 1,423.
I think I'll push for 2,000 staked LEO before the year ends now. That will get me a couple more stake based curations which will be nice. Power up posts are never very long, so I always like to add something more to make them more interesting...
Today since it is LEO Power Up Day I decided to make my Three Tune Tuesday about bands with big cats in their name. A couple came to mind relatively quickly, and a couple others took some thinking. Today I can honestly say that there is something for everybody in this bunch of songs, except maybe for the very young crowd. I decided to start things off with a little band from England known as Def Leppard. It's definitely a big cat in the name, just not spelled properly. lol
Def Leppard
wsfm.com.au
Theses guys are an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 1976. The one story I remember best from this band is one from Joe Elliot the lead singer who joined the band in 1977. One day he got out of work late and had missed his bus and had to walk home. While walking he ran into one of the band members at the time Pete Willis, and from the chance meeting he auditioned and became the lead vocalist. He said he often thinks about that day and how his life would have been very different had he not missed his bus. Fate I suppose...
Their third album "Pyromania" became a world wide best seller featuring several chart topping hits, one of them being the song they are probably best known for, "Pour Some Sugar On Me":
John Cougar Mellencamp
rollingstone.com
John Cougar Mellencamp (sticking with the big cat theme) is an American singer and songwriter that was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. He rose to fame in the early 1980's with a series of hit records that made him a music legend. He's still writing music and performing to this day, although he looks quite a bit older now. Come to think of it I do too... lol. Here's my favorite of his songs, "Authority Song":
Pantera
Once again sticking with the big cat theme, Pantera formed in 1981 in Arlington, Texas. The band has been one of the most influential in heavy metal history as well as one of the most successful. Their fifth album "Cowboys From Hell" introduced groove metal which became popular in the 90's, the lead song from the album was "Cowboys From Hell" which I've included today. An interesting fact about the song is it was very nearly cut from the album as several band members felt it's sound wasn't heavy enough. It did make the cut in the end and has become one of their most popular songs. Here it is, and it is definitely heavy metal:
And a bonus, because they have cat in their name, it may not be a big cat but they sure look good...
The Pussycat Dolls
complex.com
The origins of this band are actually very interesting. They started as a burlesque dance act back in 1995 featuring Christina Applegate (from Married With Children) with performers dressing in 1950's lingerie or pinup girl clothing. They evolved over the years picking up other well known members such as Christina Aguilera and Carmen Electra (Baywatch), who served as the primary vocalist.
In 2003 a recording contract was signed and the celebrity members all exited the group as their acting or personal recording careers didn't allow time to be part of a full time act. New members were recruited with Nicole Scherzinger as the lead vocalist and after many additions and exits the most well know lineup included Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar, Melody Thornton and Ashley Roberts. In 2005 their album "PCD" was released quickly became multi-platinum with singles "Don't Cha" and "Buttons". Here's "Buttons" featuring Snoop Dog.

The first band I didn't know at all hahaha, the second song I've always liked and had no idea who sang it, I just added it to my 80's playlist, and Pantera wow, long time no see this powerful music video. Wow you shared greatness today, in fact I'm going to do a mini Pantera marathon to remember so many good songs from my youth. Thanks for sharing 🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed. I have been listening to Pantera while I've been working today, it's good music! I'm surprised you hadn't heard of Def Leppard, They were huge in the 80's. Mellencamp is a great artist as well.
And the last one I shared just because they look really good!
!BBH
Quizás conozca alguna melodía de Def Leppard, sin saber quien las canta jajaja, normal en mí respecto a los 80's. Indagaré más sobre ellos y ya veré 🤣

Pantera is really nice!! my bad is that I couldn't have the chance to see them live !! =(
That would have been cool, they are one wild band!
I never really got into Pantera. I am not sure why. They just kind of never landed on my radar I guess. Congrats on your power up. Most of my LEO has been getting pooled these days.
To be honest I didn't either, but I know a few of their songs. Probably not a bad move to put it in LP, you earn more.
You made my day with these songs 🤣 and more with the news of InLeo, their currency has very good liquidity lately, I hope to invest in them soon through delegation. It's worth it. Greetings! 💕
I'm glad you enjoyed, it's a mix I thought most everyone could find one they liked at least! I have been staking al the LEO I earn right now off of posts. Although there are good rewards in the liquidity pools for LEO as well.

True, today is LEO POWER UP DAY, I am sorry I can not make a publication about it, but I will make my Pwer up, I think I will make a thread about it.
I like what you say, that there is not for very young people, HAHAHA I think that's too much for them, they do not know good music from the 80s and 90s.
great musical selection especially by Def Leppard.
!HUESO

!LUV
I figured some of them would know The Pussycat Dolls at least. They are more into Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo though it seems... Def Leppard was a great band back in their day, and they still tour.
!BBH
!INDEED
Yes, definitely, they are more of Ariana Grande and Olivia, you missed mentioning Harry Styles, I say that because of my daughters, although they, like metallica, guns n roses, ACDC, nirvana as well as Pink Floyd, but I think it has a musical influence because of me. LOL
I don't mind some of the stuff by Ariana and Olivia, I know Harry is big too but not my cup of tea... AC/DC, GNR, and Metallica will be classics forever. I would bet you will hear remakes of some of their songs still being made in 50 years!

Excellent power up of over 333 Leo tokens, you are well on your way to achieving your new goal of 2000 Leo powered up!🤗👍
My reasoning after the fact of powering up 333 is because we're halfway to Halloween, if it were Halloween I would have had to power up 666! lol
Lol…. 😇
Very good powering up!👍😊
