DEF LEPPARD 'High 'n' Dry' 40th Anniversary

[* velcro-fly *]

Wasn't High And Dry recorded using Angus and Malcolm's gear from the Back In Black sessions? I thought that was the story that Mutt Lange already had the studio booked and squeezed Def Leppard in after AC/DC wrapped up.

Unlikely as Back in Black was recorded in the Bahamas a full year before High and Dry (which was recorded in London)

My favorite Lep album. I still play the Let it Go riff frequently. So many good songs including Lady Strange.

Killer release that was one of the reasons I picked up guitar

The verse arpeggiated guitars in Bringin’ On The Heartbreak have always impressed me, mostly as a fantastic piece of music but also as a little more sophisticated than the usual choices a band of the time would make.

The High and Dry album is my all time favorite of theirs and that guitar tone is epic to me! I liked their first as well and Pyromania was the last of theirs that I cared for . When they became a slick polished pop rock band with Hysteria and beyond I stopped listening to them pretty quick as I couldn't stand the bubblegum watered down pop rock they were making but they got really rich I guess so I'm sure their laughing all the way to the bank.

Epic lyrics!
