Joe Elliott on Bryan Adams sounding like Def Leppard on “Waking Up The Neighbours” 

100%

Nice!

Was literally talking to a mate about this last night. Seems like you could still have a decent conversation with him down the pub.

ahhaahhhahahahahaha what a joke,,, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do you met him ????? No No Ego my Azz

@@danielmcelhatton1724 I don't know England particularly well but I would guess being from a town like Sheffield, which was a steel town like Detroit if I have my information right, would probably have something to do with that.

Geddy was always fun and down to earth!

Love to have a beer with Brian Johnson

I also think Bryan Adams sometimes sounded like Leppard. High and dry and On through the night are excellent even though they’re not as commercial. They have some great songs .

hell yeah i like 95% of their songs

Best band from that era still going! Hope ya like and subscribe 🤘🏻

@@JeremyWhiteShow Yes on all counts!

Perfectly said!

Serously ?????????????????? LOL you're funny,,,,,, but of course Def still sound like High n Dry ???????

The problem with that statement is I wonder how much input they had... I mean seriously listen to mutt Lange's body of work... He's the one responsible for all these artists... They may have thought it was their stuff but musically it's all the same... I wouldn't be complaining... But Lange took a lot of artists to the bank with him!

Long live the boys of Def Leppard!

Totally agree. Something in the powered vocals. Always powerful harmony vocals to his work. Maybe not as much with Twain but you call definitely feel the power in her music at the time

I’ve always said Shania is just countrified Def Leppard.

I’ll have to ponder that for a while. It’s a pretty wild statement upon first listen. At least you didn’t throw in ac/dc, Foreigner, Celine Dion, and Billy Ocean, lol.

The difference being, Adams is a fantastic writer. The guy doesn’t get enough credit for the amount of incredible songs he has put out.

Agreed, there are some producers who will take what the material is and go from there - not with Mutt - he is as much of the ENTIRE process as a band member or composer. Those records could almost be titled “Mutt Lange feat....(artist)”

Adrenalize was produced by Mike Shipley, not Mutt. Though Mut was credited as an Executive Producer.

@@austincooper4508 You are correct. Mutt was in Guilford producing Waking Up The Neighbors with Bryan Adams while Def Leppard was recording in Dublin and they would consult via phone with Mutt daily who’s role was pretty much “quality control “.

So great i clipped some stand out rifs for my gaming video. My mixing aint perfect but it works. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eWVU7F77Wbs.html

Thanks for being a support to my carrier and being a lovely fan. Sending much love to you Laura ❤❤❤

*were, then Husteria came out

@@kingwilly8041 where are you from?

@@BryanAdamsOfficialfanpg a few places, mostly North America

Exactly right. And a huge part of that sound is Mutt himself, singing background vocals. I used to think the guys from Def Leppard sang on Shania's and Bryan's records, lol.

WALL OF SOUND!!

Don’t forget Prince. Everything he produced sounded like Prince. But, yes, that Bryan Adams record veered a little too close to Def Leppard’s signature sound.

@@deazl666 You're absolutely right! Prince definitely has his own sound and a musical genius as well.

@@Ryww2828 I don’t own any Shania Twain albums, but Every Man of Mine is and Pour Some Sugar On Me’s country cousin.

Exactly

Hysteria is a sonic masterpiece. Such an elegant album.

Mutt gave us Back in Black which I think set the watermark incredibly high for all time. To take a band like AC/DC who'd just lost Bon Scott and then thrust relatively unknown Brian Johnson into the formula - and hit one outta the park with Back in Black - it's just unparalleled to this day.

Brilliant enough to marry Shania Twain in her prime too

@@SilentKnight43 he gave us Highway to Hell, Back in Black and For those about to Rock.

Dude, Reckless is clearly his best record. No filler, all killer.

@@deazl666 Even Cuts Like a Knife is a better album than Waking Up the Neighbours.

@@capuce69 No argument here.

Cuts like a knife and then Reckless were great albums. After that, everything to me was the same repackaged pop songs over and over again and I never bought another Bryan Adams album. Same with Def Leppard. I bought Hysteria and then I didn't care for much after that.

Not Guilty, Thought I Died, All I Want Is You, and IF you wanna Leave me standalone as Bryan Adams tracks but closely follow the formula and that's why I enjoy WUTN

Ayyyy thanks Jay! Hope ya like and subscribe 🤘🏻

Cheers Marco! Hope ya like and subscribe 🤘🏻

Give me reckless and neighbors! Both mutt records too!

Mutt never did reckless.

@@bfettrules1239 oops! Your right

@@stevebubar6129 I think Clearmountain did reckless.

There are a lot of masterpieces on RU-vid. 😯

@@JeremyWhiteShow thanks. I was already subscribed, excellent job. 👍🏻

Brilliant Song, one of Bryan's best tracks ever.

I swear I hear def Leppard back ground vocals on one song of hers. "I can't remember which song now." But one of her popular ones. Their is a chorus backing in there that is def Leppard. I say this with 100% confidence.

Other than ACDC Mutt Lange was overproduced pop garbage.

Mutt made the sound thanks to the Rockman from Tom Scholz.

Love this album

They always came across as good lads. I was punk rather than metal, but I always rated them.

Haha nice catch. Never noticed it.

@@colinmurphy3478 Thanks.

Also listen to the bridges in "all I want is you" from 'neighbours and "I wanna touch u' on Adrenalize, and then to the following parts, very similar and Mutt at his best 🎸

@@nigelcottingham5741 Makes you wonder if Leppard would have been as successful without Mutt.

I’m a huge shania fan!

Indeed. It was a summer 05 tour where Adams and Leppard did a co-headline tour switching with each other for the closing slot. However, it soon became evident that Leppard were the main draw and at the very end of the summer tour Adams was forfeiting the closing spot. Further, in a followup tour in the fall of 05, both acts went out on another co-headline tour again but this time the Leps closed every night.

Oooo, I bet that hurt poor Bryan.

I preferred Tom Allom and Eddie Kramer and Max Norman made much better albums!

It's on Mutt's insistence too no doubt, working with him seems to have that effect on artists, even The Corrs suddenly sounded like Def Leppard music when they came from the David Foster sound machine (which I think suited them better) but when artists go with Mutt it's usually a smart move business-wise. Artistically, well, that's a whole other thing altogether and maybe not so smart. In Bryan's case, it really wasn't just the song arrangements and production sound that changed it was a complete 180 vocally too. He was transformed into Joe, which was quite insane when you think about it knowing what a fantastic singer Bryan was already in his own right, with an unmistakingly unique voice why change that to become a Joe Elliott clone of all people. Hence, WUTN remains my last BA album, I jumped ship there to me he's strictly an '80s artist so I'd presume his fan group is split into two secret invisible fractions; the pre-Mutt fan section and the Mutt one.

Both DL and Bryan Adams write great songs. Bryan could fill in for Joe and make the crowd happy. But sooner or later they'd want Joe back. Same with a visa versa situation.

He did the same with Shania Twain's after they were married, some of her stuff definitely sounded more Def Leppard-ish, and I remember thinking that at the time (early 2000s)

@@lizbuckland4163 yes indeed. Especially the album "UP" but also hits like "Man, I feel like a woman".
