I think it's amazing that mutt Lange head Thomas Dolby create the sounds of those guitars by doubling them and some unique way. He's under the name Booker T boffin on those productions. That is also Thomas Dolby on the intro of the Foreigner song I've been waiting for a girl like You. In some ways Thomas Dolby was kind of his secret weapon
Really ?? I think his melodic playing is pretty cool ...but his shreddy stuff is meh ...and everyone knows Steve Clark wrote all their cool , classic riffs .
One of my favorite songs. This was going to be the next/last single off of Hysteria, but the band decided to not issue it and get on with making the next album after coming off the massive (and really long) Hysteria tour. I wish it had made the radio, its a perfect song.
The anomaly record of all the hit records is Heartbeat City. 40 years 🎂. The late Ric Ocasek said goodbye 👋 to Roy Baker as producer and hired Mutt Lange as the replacement. Ocasek wanted a return to guitar 🎸 sound. But the surprise was that Lange put more synthesizers and used a Linn drum track. Recorded in London, UK 🇬🇧. Thomas Dolby listened to a few tracks. A blend of synth/high tech and rock 🎸 is Waking Up the Neighbours. Some ideas 💡 surprised 😮 Bryan Adams. He and Mutt Lange split between London and Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦.
I love Mutt & Phil! I once had dinner with Mutt & Shania whilst tagging along on her tour, but I held back my lifetime of Mutt-music-nerd questions, cos I didn't want to make things 'weird', lol... (I saved them for Nigel Green/Audio also on tour) ... But the youtube algorithm knows... Thank you for asking the questions :)
Hey Chris, I sure appreciate the quality content you provide on your channel . The guest interviews are exceptionally good. I’m puzzled why you don’t reply to people making positive comments based on one of your podcast or interviews. Obviously not a deal breaker, I’m just wondering. Tom..
Langs greatest achievement is marrying shania Twain. How does a guy that looks like him attract a lady that looks like her? Is he THAT powerful in the music world?
Phil only played a few solos on PYROMANIA. Steve & Pete Willis played all the rhythm guitar. What Mutt did was take over the band....1st by getting rid of Pete. By HYSTERIA he was getting a song writing credit on EVERY song. Sure, they made some great music....but he ruined that band in the long run.
@aleksik4028 Exactly. I think what pissed Mutt off was that Steve knew classical guitar, and that's what gave him the ability to be a composer. The correct way, on music paper. He composed 90% of the bands music .
And karma to Mutt, who became a raging alcoholic after Shania left him. Mutt sponged off of Shania's money I think that's why he married her. He could sit on his arse and collect all of her money instead of getting a % for what he provided to a song.
Loved me some Def until i heard all the satanic undertones all over hysteria. Pyro had them too… sad such “ beautiful “ music but laced with such evil. Guess thats why they went to the top ey. They sold their souls big time to still be somewhat around 40yrs later. That dont just happen with chance, thats engineered. Oh and before all you boomers and sheepers disagree, just listen to what joe screams in the solo for foolin. Also rock of ages is a Christian song praising God originally. They paid a great price for their fame… it wont last but the God they cursed will. They all sold their souls for rnr, pretty common knowledge these days.
@williamh3845 conspiracy theorists say look at the use of the pyramid and the huge "one eye" montage. It's on other artists CD covers as well. Also, which album had a picture of Steve covering up one of his eyes? That freaks me out to this day, because look what happened to him after he joined the band? He wasn't an alcoholic when he started. Mutt's constant insulting and humiliating abuse to Steve in front of everyone is what made Steve so anxious and depressed. They were all drinking, but the worse it became with Mutt, he used alcohol to numb the pain. It was not Steve's father. Joe became an alcoholic but ya know, Joe could and can do anything he wants. 😮
😮And guess who's idea it was to use Rock of Ages? Joe. He stated he and Mutt were trying to come up with a catchy phrase, and Joe opened the Bible and the first thing he saw was "Rock of Ages." Ummm....why would they have a Bible in the studio, right there on the desk? Really? And the beginning with the people dressed in those hooded garments look more like chanting than singing.
@williamh3845 globen has multiple meanings: an orb, golden in color, symbolic of authority and sovereignty. A sphere on which a map of the heavens or world. A representation in a sphere shape of the world, earth, moon, and all earthly things. I don't know if you see the significance of symbolic gold colored authority, and the references mentioned in multiple definitions of the earth and earthly things, and the globe shaped like a sphere of the stars and constellations. I always knew it wasn't just something Mutt made up. Do you know that Satanists worship the sky, stars, ground, all of nature, because Satan says Satanism gathers it's power and strength from nature. It gives me the chills. I don't trust the words.
The Bible is full of talk of the devil, but it doesn't tell you to worship him... The Hysteria album doesn't tell you to worship the devil either.. Mutt-worship, maybe...
Phil is such a talented and personable guy. Great storyteller. Never get tired of hearing Def Leppard history.
Robert Mutt Lange! I'd love to listen to a solo album of Mutt playing everything.
Wow. Recording EACH string to complete a chord is crazy. Mutt is a beast
Phil has always seemed like such a down-to-earth nice guy, it's really cool to see this interview! Thank you so much!
Phil always so cool giving info.
I'd love to hang out with Phil and listen to his thousands of stories.

He is such an underrated player!

@@joshuamartins9487 imo yes
Not to me.
He was envious about Steve playing with a feel and Steve about his brilliant technique.
"Love and Affection " is an amazing solo with vocals underneath
One of my favorite songs. This was going to be the next/last single off of Hysteria, but the band decided to not issue it and get on with making the next album after coming off the massive (and really long) Hysteria tour. I wish it had made the radio, its a perfect song.
Shop talk between two great artists is the best.
I wish Mutt would speak to us. We have so many questions.

Favorite Band
Mutt did some of my favorite albums ever!
This is very, very interesting. Thank you, brother.
Aww yeah. So excited you have Phil Collen on the show.
The Cars also !
Phil one of my favorites 🎉
Phil is damn cool. Interesting his middle pick up is close to the bridge pick up. Like Steve Morse.
Just saw this and thought the same thing. X2n and sugar shakra? Both high output.
Loved this! I adore Def Leppard
Ya va, porque no sabía que shifty tenía un canal? Tiene cosas interesantes!
Nice to see rail pickups. No signal loss when you get bendy!
Great podcast 🎸🎸🎸
Listen to Hysteria by Def Leppard and Waking Up the Neighbours by Bryan Adams back-to-back. You can definitely hear the Mutt Lange sound.
IMHO '81 jukebox hero kinda started the new mutt (pre high and dry)
Legends
On love and affection I love the bass background vocals . "I Don't neeeeed"
Wow.
Recording one note of a chord at a time explains why they used 100 tracks to record an album.
I love that Phil has Grogu in the room.
🔥
Can’t take my eyes off Phil’s ketchup and mustard 😂
How about the sweet I Love Lucy and Prince Purple Rain throw pillows 😂
Mutt makes records that sell.... THAT is why he commands such a high price to produce.....
Where are his ex Shania's hits without him....?

PARTY WITH THEM ALL THE TIME
He messed up with Shania Twain !!!
Trolled by Grogu

Money and power. Same reason she left. He figured he could screw around and she would stay. Nope. She had money and power
He gave her we hit records nobody else did
What a sad comment.
Shes a he
@@daveg4236She had self respect.

The sterile approach what Steve Clark hated, drank himself to death.

Mutt is an OVER producer
ACDC is hardly overproduced. Mutt can do anything.
He is the STAR WARS of music... Sound design meets Rock...
