Although I like some of their music it always seems overproduced/overprocessed. Prefer more raw/in yer face production.
Have you heard High'n'Dry their first album? It was produced by the same guy that produced Back in Black (Mutt Lange), and around the same time I believe - awesome album!
LOVING the Mules!

sorry to correct you Indy, High'n'dry was their second album, their first was On Through The Night.  also a good album. slightly oddly, Dimebag Darrel (he'll always be Diamond Darrel to me!) cited it as one of his biggest influences.  that should surprise anyone that only knows Def Leppard's pop rock stuff!

High and Dry is one of the bet rock albums ever IMO
It does sound like Back In Black - not surprising as it was the next album Mutt Lange did after AC/DC
High N Dry has the best riffs and lead playing of all the Def Leppard albums
Let it Go is a classic - I remember being 15/16 and so into that when it was first released

I love Pyromania as well as it goes.......

Phil Collen does play the old Destroyer on one song live on this tour!
But Viv Cambell looks so odd these days....
Think he shares the same Vegetarian/Vegan diet as Phil Collen and both look like "Action man" with the old six packs showing, but Viv looks like an ape man because he is so hairy  (wish he would keep his shirt on live- not a pretty sight)

Speaking of looking odd, what about Sav?  He looks like he's been undergoing a very, very slow sex change for the last 15-20 years!

Given the circumstances of his face thing, he looks great I think. Also, looks quite similar to how he did back in the 80's, whereas the others look waaay  different

Oops, I didn't know about his face.  He has Bell's Palsy, I've just learned.

If by some miracle you should read this Sav, I apologise.

I've got the 7" single of "My Number", on clear vinyl  :D .  Great song!  And Phil Lewis was better then than he ever was in LA Guns.

Agreed On LA Guns they rocked, crackign live too I seen them supporting either the Cult or Skid Row I'can't quite remember as the two gigs were so close to each other.
