Nah, they were always mediocre.
I actually quite like that song, and it's probably unintentional homo-erotic undertones.
RIP Steve Clark
Fucking great band, hugely underrated today because they went low profile after glam metal went away. High N' Dry and Pyromania are amazing.
It's not so much what they did as what Mutt Lange did. He was possibly one of the worst things to ever happen to rock.

The first two albums were decent NWOBM.

True

To each his own. IMO he was one of the best producers of all time. His work on AC/DC albums was sublime

What's so bad about it?

On Through The Night is just a lame Bachman-Turner Overdrive imitation. Same goddamn chord progressions.

Roll On Down The Highway was a big UK hit. I'd be very surprised if DL didn't cop a few things from that song.
The funny part is how Joe Elliot still pretends he's a rock star when he just looks like a balding 50-something dad from Sheffield who wants a pint and a pie.
Pyromania [Mercury, 1983]
Fuckin' right new heavy metal is different from old heavy metal. The new stuff is about 5 silly beats per minute faster. And the "new" metal singers all sound free, white, and more-or-less twenty-one. C+
Hysteria [Mercury, 1987]
You know about the music and if you don't think you'll like it, you won't. Impeccable pop metal of no discernible substance--in short, it's completely irrelevant to everyone except for AOR programmers and the several million addicts of the genre. From a technical and marketing point however, it's more interesting. Stuck with over two hours of material after four years (could 12 songs be any longer?) they've eclectically decided to take advantage of CD formats rather than vinyl discs (which they outsell now) and audio cassettes (which they outdollar) and put it all on one album. I find the cassette sound a little dim, as commercial cassette sound tends to be, and while I do appreciate the depth of the vinyl, especially once I crank my stereo up to 9 or 10, the clarity of the CD becomes decisive once the needle approaches the outgroove. I mean, I have trouble perceiving these guys as human beings under ideal circumstances. Not docked a notch because at least they didn't pad it into a double. B-

Also his voice is shot.

Yeah, to be honest he does suck now
