Heavy Metal?

How in the hell is this album heavy metal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.101.9.145 (talk) 04:16, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The title track made VH1's list of the "40 Greatest metal songs" and metal-rules website also included it on a list they did of the "100 Greatest metal albums. Rockgenre (talk) 20:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Mark Evans is not a backing vocalist.

Mark Evans has never done any backing vocals during his time with the band, especially Jailbreak. All of them were Done by Malcolm and Phil. For reference, look at the Jailbreak music video form Family Jewels disc 3. Also, watch Jailbreak live from Plug Me In, Mark did not sing it there either. The only possible song with him doing backing vocals is Ain't No Fun where it seems as if three people are singing at once when the song speeds up. 65.34.214.174 (talk) 19:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC) Eddie.

Evans never sang, and this is covered in his autobiography. It's one of the reasons he was initially given for being replaced as bass player[1]

1994 ATCO remaster does not contain full version of "Rocker"

I've got the 1994 remastered version of the album, and the version of Rocker on it is still the shorter version lasting 2:50 that fades out. It's the international version of the album (track listing, motel cover). Is there proof that there is a version of this release ('94 remastered international version) that contains the longer full-stop version of Rocker?

All the other notes (about the title track, Ain't No Fun..., Big Balls, and Problem Child) appear to be correct, though, for this release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zappafrank2112 (talkcontribs) 02:41, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Cover art

If Discogs is anything to go by, the international cover was used on later Australian and New Zeland pressings...of the international version. The international cover does not appear to ever have been used on the Australian version itself (the same is true of Let There Be Rock – see here). If the Australian track listing is going to come first, the Australian cover should as well. Esszet (talk) 19:14, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

The Live At Donington 1991 DVD was very interesting

They mentioned Humphrey Bogart, who had many roles as detectives, as an inspiration for the album as well. The Young brothers stated that they liked how he would "sit in his office" and wait for adventure when he played detectives.68.47.64.121 (talk) 16:34, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Motel in International Album Cover

Does anybody know where the motel on the International album cover is, or was? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 23:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

album cover

How in the world does this article not discuss the album covers? Anyone with the knowledge-base on that should get right on it. Kingturtle = (talk) 00:10, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
