Leppard, Jim Steinman (who tried to produce "Hysteria" but was fired by the band) reckons, only knew how to work a bar or two at a time - 'Mutt' Lange's slow and meticulous way of producing.

"'Mutt's just like Frankenstein, he pieces little bits of skin together. I'm a big fan of the guy, I think he's one of the most brilliant producers in the world".

"It turns out that when Mutt does vocals, he uses one track and he won't let him go on to the second line of the song until he has the first line right! And he keeps erasing the first line till it's right! Joe was going, 'How am I supposed to feel the song if I'm jumping to the chorus!'. "It's a very bizarre set-up there. I got sick of it after about four months. Mutt did almost everything. He created them, and they were lost without him." (thanks to Jack -zephyr 102)
