142 - Def Leppard High 'N' Dry (Saturday Night) 1981

As the band recorded their second album "High 'n' Dry" with producer Mutt Lange, Pete Willis was fired from the band for alcoholism, and Phil Collen, a former guitarist for Girl, was hired to replace him. "High 'N' Dry" continues in the vein of the anthemic, working-class hard rock of their debut. While still opting for a controlled musical attack and melodies as big-sounding and stadium-ready as possible, the band opens up its arrangements a bit more on High 'N' Dry, letting the songs breathe and groove while the rhythm section and guitar riffs play off one another. These are deep lyrics.... Yeah, i'm not a loner, i'm not a fool Don't need a reason, reason to be cool I got my whiskey, i got my wine I got my woman, and this time the lights are going out.
