Def Leppard will release the Slang Deluxe Edition in February and in 1996 Phil Collen told the story of the 11 original album tracks.
In May 1996 Phil went through each song giving a brief explanation of them.
In part five Phil talks about the song 'Blood Runs Cold' which was inspired by what happened to Steve Clark.
Slang Song 9 - Blood Runs Cold
Phil - "I think it's pretty obvious what inspired the lyrics to this one. The backing track was influenced by some of the earlier Police songs and the middle section came about when Pete "Woodroffe" said "Let's not have the standard, boring ol' middle eight, let's take the attention somewhere else and have a female solo vocal going off at the same time" so initially I put down a guide vocal and it did the trick so we kept it in the song. The other thing about the album, especially this track is the prominence of the bass guitar. Sav sounds great on this song! Almost like a featured solo, again, something we've never done before."
