A question that will never be answered

Okay, so I know there's like almost no one on my friends list who's going to really understand my frustration and be able to respond to this, but I can't stop thinking about it so I'm going to babble a bit. I want to know what Def Leppard would have sounded like had they chosen Adrian Smith instead of Vivian Campbell.

Backstory: One of the original founding guitarists, Steve Clark ♥, died in 1991. One of Lepp's signature sound things involves having two guitarists, so they eventually found a new second guitarist in Vivian Campbell. I remember that when I heard that I made a "Huh??" face because it's just such an odd fit. Vivian used to be in Dio. Dio and Def Leppard go together about as well as plaid and stripes. They're just really different. Of course, Vivian played in other bands as well, but that one really stuck out to me. I don't know why it bothered me so much because I like some of Dio's music. Def Leppard is just much higher on my Like list (sue me, I love hair metal).

I have no Def Leppard icons. You get Bon Jovi instead. 'Cause, you know, music.
