Ultimate Albums Season 1, Episode 1: Dookie

Pyromania

When they went into the studio to make Pyromania, Def Leppard were just another meat and potatoes rock band with two flop albums and a silly name. But producer Mutt Lange had a dream of stadium-filling choruses, whomping drum tracking, and turning these Sheffield wannabes into pop-rock gods. VH1 tells the tale of how one guitar player and thousands of overdubs later, a masterpiece was born.
