But we had to cut tape, paste, snip, turn it upside down, but it was starting to change. And we'd been, like, going, "Ah, it'd be great if we could be the hard rock version of the Beatles and do this all this backwards stuff." And basically we could.
You know, we'd read all the stories about the Beatles splicing tape, turning it backwards, and the seagull sounds on things like Tomorrow Never Knows, you can never get it back 'cause it was a one off, and all these kind of mad things. And then because it was, we were starting to become aware of new studio technology which would go completely haywire, just go over the top three years later when we were doing Hysteria with synthesizers and Synclaviers and Fairlights were starting to appear into our lives in the studio and Mutt was a huge, uh, kind of, fan of new gear. Rock of Ages was a Steve Clark riff I believe, but the original demo, which we have the cassettes of, there's a snippet of it, and it's like half the speed of the song as we know it.
Joe: "So Rock of Ages was 1982, Pyromania, we were locked in Battery Studios in London, for the whole of 1982. Mutt Lange's unusual way of counting off became immortalized in the song, and Joe Elliott tells us more about the song's beginning and beginnings. This 1983 Gunter, Glieben, Glausen, Globen t-shirt honors the legendary beginning of the Def Leppard arena anthem Rock of Ages.
