Country music is Mutt Lange's favourite thing and he came in after Joe had been going: 'Got this thing Pour Some Sugar On Me'.Īnd he said OK let's make it almost like a Hip Hop thing. We were petrified and then we played it in Vancouver for the first time." And I can't even do it right now I'd have to.I need the rest of the band. Singing and playing some of this stuff is really hard. We took this rehearsal room in and we're trying to learn these things and We simplify it all but we was so petrified. So on the chorus there's this thing going off. So we're in Vancouver like crap, we better learn this song. the song goes to Number One and we've never played it before. There's all these millions of guitar parts and millions of vocals. Anyway it goes on and it's got this big chorus. Our only Billboard Number One single actually.

So I'd track it up god knows how many times.Īnd my friend came into the studio while I was doing that.
Mutt said no we want it to have it's own unique sound. Can't stop this feeling.Ĭan't stop this fire.' And this there's a lot of people they go: 'Well Def Leppard didn't you record a string at a time?'
But I started singing along to his part straight away so I went. Which I said well I've got this other part that goes. One like Sunday afternoon and said: 'Here I've got this idea for a song, it's kind of got this guita riff it goes.' "Rick Savage, our bass player, came to me while we were in Dublin.
