Wasn't High And Dry recorded using Angus and Malcolm's gear from the Back In Black sessions? I thought that was the story that Mutt Lange already had the studio booked and squeezed Def Leppard in after AC/DC wrapped up.

Unlikely as Back in Black was recorded in the Bahamas a full year before High and Dry (which was recorded in London)
 
My favorite Lep album. I still play the Let it Go riff frequently. So many good songs including Lady Strange.
 
Killer release that was one of the reasons I picked up guitar
 
The verse arpeggiated guitars in Bringin’ On The Heartbreak have always impressed me, mostly as a fantastic piece of music but also as a little more sophisticated than the usual choices a band of the time would make.

The High and Dry album is my all time favorite of theirs and that guitar tone is epic to me! I liked their first as well and Pyromania was the last of theirs that I cared for . When they became a slick polished pop rock band with Hysteria and beyond I stopped listening to them pretty quick as I couldn't stand the bubblegum watered down pop rock they were making but they got really rich I guess so I'm sure their laughing all the way to the bank.

man, this album brings back memories. Funny how different times are. I took a bus from NY to Vermont, then another bus to Montreal, then got a taxi from the bus station to train station, then took an overnight train to Monkton. I had High and Dry and Loverboy on a walkman. I was 10 yrs old, lol.

The intro of this song (before the guitars kick in) sounds exactly like the music they used when Michael Knight (or the A-Team for that matter) was scanning the surroundings of an 'abandoned' shed in some dusty town, where some real estate mogul/parttime crook was terrorizing the locals. :giggle:

I loved it when Michael's evil twin Garthe Knight, destroyed KITT with the 18 wheeler from hell, Goliath. That's a cherished childhood memory. But when I look at Goliath today, it just looks like a produce truck with a giant Larry back grille welded onto the front:

At least Goliath got the Larry back grill.
