Phil Collen - Interview Quote
"I had a demo for 'Dangerous' as well, pretty much the whole music of that I had done. It was called 'Dangerous Drug' and Joe said, 'Wouldn't it be great if we called it 'Dangerous' and make it this kind of singalong chorus...We literally copied it exactly. I redone the guitars. We just done a slightly different guitar sound. We might have kept some of the original demo, I'm not sure. That's really how it went...We didn't change anything musically at all."
Billboard - News Quotes
"We didn't think we were doing an album. We were just doing songs," Collen says. "Every song was its own project." Some of the 14 tracks date back awhile: "Let's Go," the first song released from the album, came from one of bassist Rick Savage's demos, while "Dangerous" is also a few years old and was initially titled "Dangerous Drug" until Elliott suggested shortening the name."
"I started it a few years ago; I think I had just been working with (former Def Lep producer) Mutt Lange on something," Collen says. "We copied it exactly. I redid the guitars, just a slightly different guitar sound. We didn't change anything musically at all."
