Rise up gather round

Rock this place to the ground

Burn it up, lets go for broke

Watch the night go up in smoke

No fire brigade, just pyromania, come on

What do you want, what do you want?

I want rock n roll, yes I do

Long live rock n roll

Just say you need it and if you need it

Down to the ground

自１９８０年推出兩張大碟後, 英國搖滾樂團威豹（Def Leppard）並未能在歌壇受到商業肯定

１９８３年１月　威豹發行第三張大碟［Pyromania］

仍由Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange製作

這也是吉它手Phil Collen 取代原來的Pete Willis（但仍參加部分演奏）, 首度參與的專輯

［Pyromania］曲風從早期的重金屬根源朝向華麗金屬與硬式搖滾

大碟受到高度評價　滾石雜誌便給予四顆星讚譽

首支單曲［Photograph／照片］登上美國告示牌單曲榜＃１２　副榜──主流搖滾榜六週冠軍　一舉打響威豹的名氣．

１９８３年６月，威寶乘勝追擊，推出第二單曲［Rock of Ages／搖滾時代］

由Joe Elliott，Steve Clark，Robert John "Mutt" Lange創作，

據聞樂團當時正在一間錄音室，主唱Joe Elliott偶然發現一本剛使用過錄音室的兒童合唱團成員留下的讚美詩集。

在書中，他看到了’Rock of Ages’三個字，這促使他寫下歌詞。

［Rock of Ages］以“Gunter glieben glautengloben”開頭，這是一個有德國血統的Mutt Lange 引入的類似德語的無意義短語。根據 Def Leppard解答：

「Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen」是什麼意思？沒什麼特別的（儘管樂隊有時開玩笑地聲稱這意味著“默默地穿過森林”）。

這是製作人 Mutt Lange 在錄製［Rock of Ages］時說的胡言亂語，而不是常規的一、二、三、四。

Robert John "Mutt" Lange將其製作一首華麗金屬／硬式搖滾曲，

主唱嗓音奔放狂野．

［Rock of Ages］登上美國單曲榜＃１６　副榜──主流搖滾榜冠軍，鞏固威豹在美國人氣．

英國依舊表現不佳--＃４１，加拿大＃２４，澳洲＃９６

大碟銷售扶搖直上　升到美國榜亞軍　光在１９８３年便賣出６００萬張　至今超過１０００萬張　拿到鑽石唱片

英國＃１８──銀唱片（６萬張＋）

加拿大＃４──７白金（７０萬張＋）

法國－金唱片（１０萬張＋）
