Re: Jammin Steve Clark's modified JCM-800
That's the last album of theirs I liked. I loved that dry bark and grunt he got from that amp on that album. I didn't care for anything they did after getting Phil Collen. Any idea of what mods were done?

There singles were so nice and poppy and produced with the nice keyboards that I do not ever think that guitar duo ever got their proper due.
One other thing about DL -they're song arrangement is stellar on those records (not sure how much is the band) but they went from a good ACDC almost cover band on the first record to their own thing in very short order.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Originally posted by idsnowdog View PostYes their first two albums were very AC/DC influenced but that's what I liked about them. They sounded like a bunch of blue-collar boys from a steel town that were chasing their dreams by playing straight forward hard rock. When they started incorporating synths and writing ballads I thought they just sounded like watered-down Bon Jovi wannabes who had sold out.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

I dunno what it is, but I kinda preferred DL's Pyromania and High'n Dry... Hysteria... I dunno to me it sounds overly produced not rock but sorta popy you know...

Their later stuff was definitely a radio-friendly production. Much like Metallica’s Black Album.
And really, who can blame a band for going in that direction. When you decide that being in a band is going to be your main life’s pursuit, isn’t the end goal to be the biggest most recognized entity you can become.
A goal attained by both bands.
