Guys, the song was originally written before On Through The Night, then it was a B side on Hysteria, I forget which song...then it ended up on Retro Active. I think it's a great song, can't understand how it never made it to a real album and I WISH DL would play stuff like this when I go see them live. When I go, it's the Hysteria show.  I want to see Mirror Mirror or Wasted, or something like that tossed into the mix.

@JetBeetle Yep, you guys are right. I was thinking of Ride Into the Sun.

@nikko024 This song is not that old - you're thinking of Ride into the Sun - it was a B side to Animal,and yes 0 it's a great song but when Lep ended their partnership with Steinman and reunited with Mutt they agreed to scrap all of the songs they had written before Mutt came back.

@nikko024 I read somewhere Joe wrote this about a bad night of Mexican food and that he wrote it during Hysteria. That being said it was the B-Side to Armaggedon It and remixed for Retro Active, the most obvious part is the intro seeing as on the B-Side it was a fade in, and the Retro Active version it was not. Also the false ending on the B-Side.

@bobbigboss111 In 2002 it was, but if you hear him now, he sounds quite a bit better. Kicked the smoking habit I believe.

@goobersrock90 You are right, I was thinking of Ride Into the Sun. Ring of Fire was the B side to Pour Some Sugar on Me. I'm not sure exactly when the original song was written. Either way, I'd love to see Def Lep do a concert like other bands do...where they set it before Hysteria. I love the loyalty for keeping Rick Allen in the band BUT as a drummer, I'd love to see another drummer there. Bad Catch 22.

@nikko024 This song was NOT written before On Through the Night. I think you're thinking of Ride Into the Sun. Ring of Fire was written during the Hysteria Sessions. Ride Into the Sun was written for the Def Leppard EP, their very first release.
