It was the last song recorded on the album, featuring a signature riff written by Joe Elliot and a vocal line inspired by the mash-up of Aerosmith and Run-DMC on “Walk This Way”. It had this “I Love Rock N Roll” riff with a bit of “Since You’ve Been Gone” and I was all in. I do wish I purchased the 7 inch singles for these releases at the time, as getting singles with B sides that had unreleased material moved you into the “cool” crowd amongst your mates. Then came “Animal” and it just cracked the Top 50, but like “Woman”, it was largely ignored. When “Woman” came out as a single, it didn’t do any real business in Australia. Plus I was still spinning “Pyromania” so I didn’t feel like I needed a new Def Leppard album. I had heard about Rick Allen’s car accident and the troubles the band had with producers. You know the saying, Out of mind, out of sight. I know its sacrilegious to say it, but Def Leppard was out of the news cycle and the magazines for quite some time. I didn’t buy the “Hysteria” album when it came out.
