Joe Elliott On BBC Radio 2 Rock Show April 2024
Joe Elliott
"Pyromania was such a massively important album for us, because back in early 1982 when we entered the studio, we'd made a collective and conscious effort to try and make an album that no traditional rock band had ever made before."
"In other words, we wanted to meld together the traditional sounds of a rock band with some of the newer sounds that had been coming out of the early 80s bands like The Human League and New Order."
"We really believed that we achieved this, and in January of 1983,when the album was released, it was a massive success in North America and Japan."
"But sadly, at the time, not so much in the UK."
"The lead single Photograph only peaked at number 41, which means it missed out on that all-important BBC Top 40 chart that may have just pushed it to being a bigger hit."
"That would come three and a half years later when Animal charted, and the Hysteria album went to number one."
"But however, no matter which way you look at it, the Pyromania album remains to this day a very important part of the Def Leppard catalogue."
