| Additional notes |
Def Leppard are only listed in the Archives because of their debut being considered NWOBHM.
Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. He plays using a special hi-tech drum set he designed himself that makes special use of the foot pedal.
In 1991 "Steamin'" Steve Clark died due to compression of the
brain stem, related to years of alcohol and prescription drug abuse.
