Although Slang was the first Def Leppard album to feature new material with guitarist Vivian Campbell, this was his second tour with the band.

[1] Musically, Slang was considered a radical departure from the band's signature sound of highly polished 1980s hard rock.

Introspective songwriting, minimal studio production and Rick Allen's return to acoustic drums resulted in a more raw and organic sound.

The new simplified configuration consisted of a rectangular stage with a wall of Marshall amplifiers positioned on each side of Rick Allen's drum kit.
