August 4, 20179 yr ....and NOT a bad song on the entire album, IMO I love you, man. I really do. But this is where I parted ways with Def Leppard. Anybody ever notice how Shania Twain's records all sound a lot like this one? But in the interest of recognizing my music snobbishness, and in my capacity as an information provider, I'll leave you with this: Def Leppard’s ‘Hysteria’ Is Still the Greatest Hair-Metal Album Ever Made

One of the studio engineers for that album is my good friend Erwin Musper. He has worked with so many great artists, it's unreal.... Def Leppard, Van Halen, Metallica, Chicago, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, the Scorpions, etc etc... He now lives on a beach in South America... and he's originally from Holland.. Fun fact: up until about 2 years ago.. Erwin had a multi-million dollars home studio in his basement in Highland Heights, KY, very near NKU. Artists such as the Scorpions and Van Halen would frequently fly into CVG, stay at Erwin's and record. He use to tell me stories how he and Eddie Van Halen would hit a local Walmart for batteries or whatever and people would say "you look just like Eddie Van Halen"... and Eddie would say, "yeah, I get that a lot"... lol! Some of my favorite recording sessions of all time were with that guy behind the controls... Erwin is a master studio engineer and he spoke often and very highly of Mutt Lange... he obviously learned a ton working with him on the Def Leppard stuff.
