Despite my secret penchant for metal, I wasn't that kind of kid. Except I never would have even thought the f-word, even to myself. Admittedly, I love the pre-chorus in this song (the "give me all of your lovin'" part) - I literally get chills every time I hear it.īut "Armageddon It"? What does that even mean? I think they just liked chanting it, since it sort of sounds like "I'm getting it." I remember circa third grade watching this video and asking my mom what armageddon was, and her explaining the concept to me, and me being like - even as an eight-year-old - WTF does this have to do with this song/video. Rather than abandon them, they've been turned into a bit of a franken-song. You feel like they had maybe three ideas - the verse, the build-up to the chorus, and the chorus - that couldn't quite make it to full-on song status. THE VERDICT My quick mention of Def Leppard's concert video "Live: In the Round, In Your Face" last week gave me a hankering for some Hysteria, so rather than go with the obvious, I've decided to shine a light on "Armageddon It." I always feel like this is one of the more forgotten singles from this album, and thinking about it extra hard this week is making me realize why.įor one, the song is a bit of a mish-mash of ideas.
