When they were going to record the drums, Vito played the solo to the song “wait” as a backing track at the same time, which they would play again later but the producer was so pleased that they kept that recording as he was unsure that Vito could do better. Michael Wagener has told in interviews that he got goosebumps when he heard Vito play the solo that time. They also had to borrow an older Fender stratocaster that once belonged to Jimi Hendrix to record another solo on the record.

In 1986, they first recorded a few songs in Frankfurt, in the same studio as “Fight to survive”. But on returning home, they chose to ignore these songs and instead record a brand new record instead in Los Angeles. These demo songs can be found on “Pride take one ´86” and the later Anthology album.

In an interview with drummer Greg D`angelo, he says that the first demo songs had the same raw sound as the first record, but they took a chance on recording and releasing the record with the new, slightly more commercial sound and it turned out to be perfect.
