I wish I has a dollar for every time I have seen some ‘metal fan’ post somewhere or have hear myself, how they couldn’t play and thats why Hysteria took so long and on and on.
Yea Hysteria itself was a studio creation practically a note at a time. But like you said, they were in the trenches for years before without the wizardry.
And when they did it live it was damn near studio perfect since they’d played it a thousand times making the record. Easily one of the top shows I saw.

Yes it was, but it was also a Concept album. and the idea came from Mutt Lange.
Thriller was huge then, and Lange wanted a rock answer to that success.
The band was very wary of putting out another “Pyromania”.
It was a home run if sales are an indicator.
