An acoustic rendition of the song was performed by Elliott and guitarist Phil Collen on the ''Hysteria'' edition of VH1's '' Classic Albums''.

When Love & Hate Collide
"When Love & Hate Collide" is a song by English rock band Def Leppard from their 1995 greatest hits album '' Vault'', written by Joe Elliott and Rick Savage. The power ballad was originally written and demoed for '' Adrenalize'', but not finalized until 1995 for its inclusion on ''Vault''. The demo version is much more heavily produced in the signature style of ''Hysteria'' and '' Adrenalize'', and the final version is more stripped down, supposedly toward the style of the following studio album ''Slang''. The original demo version contains the final recorded guitar solo by late original guitarist Steve Clark. "When Love & Hate Collide" became one of their most successful singles in the band's homeland, where it reached number two in the UK Singles Charts, but it failed to make a significant impact in the United States, reaching number 58 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.

Elliott then borrowed the tape to make a rhythm loop and overlaid guitar chords over it for a rough draft on the song. When he brought it to Lange and the band, they re-recorded and developed Elliott's idea in a higher key. The song was nearly developed as a near-instrumental with only a short chorus ("Rocket! Yeah"), but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

When released as a single later that year, it reached #9 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #28 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100.

It was the first single release off the album, and became the band's first Top 10 hit in their native UK, reaching No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

It was one of the first songs developed in early 1984, but neither the band nor successive producers Jim Steinman and Robert John "Mutt" Lange were able to produce the desired sound until two and a half painstaking years later. It was the only ''Hysteria'' track demoed by Rick Allen on an acoustic drum kit prior to his car accident; the drummer having recorded a beat for the song on a four-track tape during early sessions. A later studio version, tracked to a drum machine, remained largely the same as the earlier demo, which the band felt was starting to sound dated, until Joe Elliott recorded a lead vocal over it in Pa ...
