That’s like a X1,000,000 that Phil is holding. And it’s just floating around the house. The box that created the soundtrack of my youth and a diamond selling album is in a junk drawer. Amazing.

@JeremyWhiteShow 2 года назад

RIGHT?! I hope he wills it to me 😂

@stormchaser419 Год назад

LOL...hilarious...in a junk drawer is right. You envision these rock stars with meticulously organized houses full of stuff then you realize they are like everybody else with their kitchen tools...oh honey where is that certain mixing spoon we used in that other recipe....oh it might be in that junk drawer in the food pantry....LOL It's hilarious when he has to walk around that room looking for this Tom Scholz masterpiece device and well it might be somewhere.

First Tom Scholz writes, plays and records a debut album that is pure gold. Then he proceeds to build a box that gets used to record another monster album. The man is a legend!

@@JeremyWhiteShow Great interview! I love the Hysteria album a lot. Wicked guitar on it and everything else as well. I still have my Rockman X-100, but it needs fixing. Still looks great on the inside.

@t-boog2173 Год назад

Amen. But it def makes sense freq wise. The Rockman cuts a lot of lows & highs which made room for the other instruments and allowed them too stack lots of guitar parts. But yeah, even the lil built in chorus sounds killer. Tom Scholz def knew his stuff.

@VantagePointrocks 2 года назад

The guitar sounds on the track, Hysteria, are absolutely amazing, so melodic, love listening to that tune.

@JeremyWhiteShow 2 года назад

Agreed!! So pleasurable.

@stormchaser419 Год назад

Hysteria is like that song that is just so melodic and perfect. It's musical perfection and you realize how masterful they were as musicians. Pyromania and Hysteria are the best one two punch for back to back albums. Pyromania is more raw in my opinion and Hysteria is more melodic and interesting for just a more polished sound in a way but crazy good hooks. Every song on Hysteria is perfect. Pyromania though is amazing also.

@angusorvid8840 2 года назад

Phil is one of the best players out there. He also has a strong understanding of studio dynamics. The studio is such a different world from the live show, that a thing that may sound great in one scenario may not work at all in the other. I've used a Rockman to record as well. They kind of help keep things nice and tidy with the combination of chorus and compression. But live, I could never use one. They sound too compact for a live situation, not open enough. The brilliance of Mutt Lange is that he understands how to layer in a rich texture from different tracks. You mix a clean track with a slightly dirty track, and you get a big, full sound.

This guy just went BEHIND the curtain of OZ! Wow, So it was a STOCK x100.... Wow Phil's such a classy guy phenomenal player...he is the 80s guitar sound! Oh yea I got it right here... Smh unreal

@tito.tarantula Год назад

The 1988 Def Leppard Hysteria tour was the first time I saw them live (in Ottawa), I was 17. What an amazing show and still one of my top-5 ever! The stage in the middle of the arena was an awesome experience, also a first for me. The energy that night was off the charts. The last time I saw DL was in 2019 when they opened for Bon Jovi in Munich. I wanted to leave after their set 😅but my friends convinced me to stay.

@headwerkn 11 месяцев назад

On the automated EQ thing. Mike Shipley confirmed that he and Mutt used some kind of fancy (potentially prototype) programmable digital graphic EQ to sequence filter changes during mixes. In that instance Mike was referring to using it to tweak a vocal performance so literally every syllable sat in the mix just so (because Mutt being Mutt, perfection is the only suitable outcome). So it’s entirely feasible such EQing was done elsewhere in the mix, but then again it might be just the combination of strummed and picked parts mixed together (as Sav has confirmed for the bridge of ‘Hysteria’ many a time before) that gives it that shimmery tonality. It’s unlikely to ever happen, but if Mutt Lange ever decided to do a proper full blown interview deconstructing many of his greatest hits, it would be a world shattering event for every audio engineer and producer on the planet….

Yup! that's what it took to make that sound on Phil's Gtr. Trk. by recording seperate Trks for the Chiming GTR. of cour the other Gyt Trk was similar but w/ a CHord and Temelo whilke they webt back & forth! Litle different those days vs. today :)

I put a Rockman ace in front of a Johnson and Def Leppard sound immediately popped out. Really iconic sound. ZZtop used them also. Very distinct and I can hear it on a lot of albums.

@stingylizard Год назад

Amazingly cool,thanks for sharing. Ha,I played in a cover band in the 80's using one of those Rockman's permanently duct taped to the back of a Flying V. Hundreds of gigs,all kinds of weather,venues. Never failed-- Ugh,listening back,I hate that chorus.

@jameswyre6480 2 года назад

Love Phil Collen, seems like a good bloke in addition to being a beast of a player. Btw if you have a Kemper, producer Mbritt got a rare Rockman stack unit profiled into one of his packs. It is dead on, though the chorus effect cant be profiled with it. But I get cd perfect boston tones and probly these tones as well from it with feedback and everything.

@ryanfulldark2775 5 месяцев назад

Just got a Rockman X100 today, original box AND headphones! I can’t attest, this is the exact sound of Hysteria and Boston. It’s wild!

@keithyw 10 месяцев назад

i'm pretty surprised all that sound mostly was that Rockman. that's pretty impressive. i'm sure there's some mixing going on but the basic sound has always impressed me with Hysteria. the thing about Hysteria that made it have such a signature Def Leppard sound to me was how the guitars actually sounded like an animal growling. i can't tell if that was intentional but you hear stuff like the beginning of Rocket or the dive bomb just after the chorus in Hysteria before it's about to go into the duet and you hear this very distinct growl. that tone/sound just added so much depth to that album.

Anyone have a manual for Rockman2 with adapter 12volt and how can I run it into Amp is it a stereo output headphone so you use a 1/4 headphone to guitar adapter. Please and thank you and another question is it battery powered or just DC 115 to 12volt adapter. Much thanks.

@@jeffreyklaproth7794 Hi! yes it is those amps, the one Gary Moore used Iron Maiden and so on, there is the 250 ML (combo) and a 250 RL(rack mounted) later they made the 206MLE but they did not become as popular.

It follows every album and most tracks. Headphone Hysteria and listen to the backing vocals. Please tell me what you hear. If I don't get any similar responses, I will chalk it up to my own hearing.

@user-le8ds6cl6q Месяц назад

I have 2 of those but you can't get a huge sound like Leppard out of those boxes alone. there was some Mutt magic put in there on top of it. don't know what it is. lots of overdubs and processing involved maybe. only Mutt knows but he doesn't talk
