Yeah it was about a bombing by the Republican Army in Northern Ireland in 1998. I wish Def Leppard would do collaborative songs like this and like how they used to do for the entire albums. Those turn out great. Now they all write separately =\
One of my favorite Def Leppard songs right behind Desert Song from the Retroactive album from the mid-90's. This is actually quite a great amateur vid to go along with the song, too bad the pixel quality is so poor especially in the speed test scenes, those were stellar.
does anyone realize that this exact car has been racing for the last 8 years by Mark Kibort who goes under the youtube name Zanick. This car was just destroyed several day ago, never to race again. so sad! what a loss!! go to zanick page to see the documented races, including the one of the crash. also, not a single bolt had ever been turned on the engine after 150 races!!!!
I Love Hystria for different reasons in my life, Love & Affeciton I like this songs music of the writting of them but i love High N Dry Album because of how Raw the Music is i will say in the last 5 Years they have moved in to my TOP 5 Bands
@Badfingerfan1 Both songs were Vintage Lep written for fans and not for single release. Go could've served as a good radio single until "Mirrorball" hits how "Four Letter Word" was a radio single after X was over.
mine had a AMC pacer when i was.i sat in a brand new one lol. remember feeling the big bubble windows and thinking wow, those are big and cool windows. its the waynes world car BTW. sat in a gremlin and pinto also.
Fucking hell, the guitar solo is absolutely epic. Another great song by the Lep, but how come no one's heard of it? There's no YT of it live, no guitar covers, and this has only had 15,000 views..... strange..
Epic is a great way to put it. This is as good of a Def Lepp song as there is. In the same class are Day After Day (also from Euphoria) and Scar from the X album; all three are what I'd call "late model" gems from DL.
In my opinion Def Leppard sucks and this irritating 13 in a dozen weak schoolrock crap is why.
Maybe their end 70's early 80's stuff was little better but during those years there was Deep Purple and they simply wiped their behinds with these guys.
Don't comment if you have no respect for music. your talking out of your ass and no one wants to read your shit. go try and learn guitar, then maybe you'll find some respect
wow! i was just in a supercharged 928 and nothing can beat it! nothing! 7000 for the 928, and 6000 for the supercharger! 13,000 total investment for 450 rear wheel horse! hell ya! why go buy a BMW M3? Porsche 911 turbo? why pay 40 to 90,000 bucks for the other cars with 450 horse? why? why?
In my opinion def leppard dont get half the recognition they deserve. iv been a fan since the age of 9 (thanx to my brother)and very few of "my" generation even kno who they are! Come on people this is PROPER music, specially this song, along with a few others, 2 steps behind for thoses more "pop" lovin creatures...there really is something for every1....check them out!
Euphoria kicked ass, and this song was the definite highlight. Awesome tune, with two kickass solos, and it fuckin' blew me away. That ending solo by Phil is like the Energizer bunny. I like how it switches keys 5 times (B minor--D minor--C minor--F# Mixolydian--E minor) but never sounds out of place. And that "marching" rhythm for Viv's solo in G minor is excellent as well, and Viv does a great job on it. I can see why this was the group's favorite - if only they'd make more like it!
I kind off like the fact that it was not commercialized. But it actually had a lot of airplay in Puerto Rico. The fact that they included it in the current hits collection make it seem like Def Leppard new all along how good this song actually is. One of their top ten songs in my opinnion...
With no doubt this is THE BEST DL song during the Viv Campbell era. A killer riff, slow, powerfull, energetic. The two guitar solos are magestic. Especially the "marching" rythm guitar riff in the first solo. Then, the second solo has a sequence similar to the one in "Women" it keeps growing and growing until it explodes at the end. This song is among their best and most underrated. I say the same with songs such as Desert Song, Another Hit and Run, Scar,White Lightning and Billy's Got a Gun.
Agree, this is one of the few songs that I like post Steve Clark era. However I wish they work on this section; 3:20-3:40. It's too "sha la la" like. They should've prescribe some Mutt Lange spacing and pause to it, or something... I know they wanted to provide a change of pace here but after that guitar riff and you go into this?
"DethLeppard666 (7 months ago) Show Hide +3 The anger is dripping from this song, and me too. The Armagh bombings were the most despicable act of cowardice I have ever heard of. I hope the "real IRA" is destroyed. That said, this is an awesome song. For all their party songs, Def Leppard is always good at having a serious song on every album." that's what it's about.
@Franckdatankpart2 Hi, the name of the Town, is Omagh Ireland, Tyrone county, anyway.. yeah. This song, is dripping with Anger at the Bombing, but also at other Bombings in Ireland. If someone, just said, "hey.. here are your terrorists." Then, it could all be over, for those that suffered. Greatly.
I never heard this until I watched their interview and they all said this was their favorite. I see why, it has all of the best of their songs in one. Great great song.
What was the class that was in? The Dodge SRT-4 now has two class records, top speed two way pass for both FWD stock vehicles and 4 cylinder stock vehicles at 222 mph. They went like 236 mph one way and 208 the opposite direction.
