On
VH1 Storytellers: Def Leppard, lead singer
Joe Elliott revealed that the song title came from drummer
Rick Allen. The song features a clean guitar melody and heavily multi-tracked vocals in its
chorus. The "extreme" nature of producer
Mutt Lange's recording methods is also exampled in the pre-chorus, where the clean guitar chords were recorded one note at a time as opposed to the traditional method of
strumming them, in effect "building" a chord by recording the notes that make them up. An
acoustic rendition of the song was performed by Elliott and guitarist
Phil Collen on the
Hysteria edition of
VH1's
Classic Albums.
Cash Box called it a "solid rocker with sophistication,
Supertramp-ish chorus backgrounds and a cutting edge vocal." == Track listing ==
