Classic Albums: Hysteria Part 3

England's Def Leppard are one of the most successful hard rock bands of all time. The band, whose career was plagued by death and tragedy, released their most successful record, HYSTERIA, in 1987. A worldwide phenomenon, the record sold more than 17 million copies and elevated the band to notoriety. In this episode of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series, the surviving members of Def Leppard discuss the making of HYSTERIA as they sort through and explain the original multi-track tapes. In addition, some impromptu acoustic performances and musical demonstrations further dissect this classic album.

Who would have ever known that the Gods of War riff was based on Message in a Bottle? Righteous.

I would add that it's not only "based on", but improved!

Can't believe they got Steve Clark's birth year wrong on the caption - It's 1960 not 1961.
