  • Steve from Torrance, CaIn spite of what it says above, from the first time I heard it, I was sure the main guitar line that opens this song was "borrowed" from Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky". Recorded in 1979, David Gilmour plays it on acoustic guitar and slower, while Def Leppard plays it on electric guitar and slightly speeds up the tempo.
