They should play shit off of the 1st album more, that was their best record.

I got one thing to say.

R.I.P Steven Clark.

The first album stuff is the best. I saw these guys on their FIRST american tour tour in 1980, opening up for JUDAS PRIEST! However, they came back one month later, by popular demand and opened the show for SCORPIONS and TED NUGENT. This was June and July, 1980 in the old Hemisfair Arena in San Antonio!

@ellisakanormannj well said . Steve Clark's solo was the best part of this song and vivian is a wannabe compared to clarky . R.I.P Steve

@believer06 Yeah, I started with High 'N' Dry and listened to it A LOT, so I'm really used to his style, which made me feel a little different with Viv... I don't know who is better, but Clark makes me feel better because I'm more used to it. Anyway, I did like Viv's solo, it's just different to me. I really admire Vivian playing Clark's parts with his own expression, 'cos it shows that Lepp is still moving forward, it couldn't stop and make everything the same.

@MokRodrigues Viv is 10X the guitarist Phil Collen is. Vivian coulda duplicated Steve's solo note for note had he wanted to. It wasnt tough. I did it in a cover band note for note a few years after I started playing guitar. Anyway, Viv put his own feeling in that solo which is why many used to the original dont appreciate it as much, like yourself.

[MokRodrigues]

@gravyguy05 Yeah, I don't like Viv that much too... this time the solo was good, but it lacked Clark's feeling, that immortal spirit that possess the guitar. Phil was always a little "hasty", but it was great, 'cos was opposing to Steve's groovy way. But I think it's still good, y'know...

[MokRodrigues]

@thecharvelshredder For me their 2nd, their 1st, for me, is High N' Dry, but On Through the Night is amazing too!

[gravyguy05]

@MokRodrigues Viv seems to handle the old Steve/Pete lineup songs better than the Steve/Phil lineup. Viv never seems to pick up on Steve's hooks, he plays the notes to straight forward. Phil does a great job, playing any Leppard song and seems to have taken a lot of Steve's old parts to make sure it get's played correctly now.

@josiahgust I agree, I love that album haha

[josiahgust]

@thecharvelshredder It always annoys me when the guys in the band say they don't like that album. I think one of them even said they were embarrassed by it. So I went to check it out, it was so much better than their later stuff. I enjoy Def Leppards popular stuff, but On through the night rawKed.
