Spinning DefLeppard’s “Rock Of Ages” all day long! 🎸
From their album, ‘Pyromania,’ which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, the intro of this track, “a slightly accented voice is heard saying “Gunter gleiben glauchen globen.” What do the words mean? Why did the band include them in the song?
“It was actually (producer) Mutt Lange who came up with that,” Rick Allen said. “He was getting so tired of saying ‘1,2,3,4’ whenever we counted in.” As for the specific language, Allen says that it was also Lange’s creation. “I guess ‘Gunter gleiben glauchen globen’ is some Germanic-sounding language.”
