Pyromania is the third studio album by English rock band Def Leppard, released on 20 January 1983[2] through Vertigo Records in UK and Europe and through Mercury Records in the US. The first album to feature guitarist Phil Collen who replaced founding member Pete Willis, Pyromania was produced by Robert John `Mutt` Lange. The album was a shift away from the band`s traditional heavy metal roots toward a more radio-friendly sound, finding massive mainstream success. Pyromania charted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200,[3] No. 4 on the Canadian RPM Album chart and No. 18 on the UK Albums Chart.[4] Selling over ten million copies in the US, it has been certified diamond by the RIAA.[5]

Recording
The album followed an unusual method of recording: all guitars and bass parts were recorded to a click track provided by a LinnDrum (or LM-1) drum machine, with the drums being added last. This gave flexibility in changing the arrangements.[6][7] The album was partially recorded with original guitarist Pete Willis, whose rhythm guitar tracks appear on all songs. Toward the end of the recording, Willis was fired for alcohol abuse and replaced by guitarist Phil Collen, who contributed solos and guitar parts not yet recorded by Willis.[8] `I had all the fun stuff, none of the heavy lifting...` Collen remembered. `Pete and Steve [Clark] had done these amazing rhythm guitar beds, and it was a joy to whizz around and play solos over the top... Mutt [Lange] was going, `Just have fun: be a lead guitarist, go nuts.`[9] On the original LP release, Willis is visible in the background of the photograph of singer Joe Elliott, while Collen has his own photo as a new full-time member.

The album can be seen as a transitional one between the heavy metal sound of Leppard`s first two albums and the radio-friendly direction of later releases.[10] It featured rockers such as `Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)`, `Stagefright` and `Die Hard the Hunter` as well as the Top 40 hits `Photograph`, `Rock of Ages` and `Foolin".[11]
