Def Leppard, 'Just Like '73' -- New Song!

Earlier today, Def Leppard debuted a fantastic new song called "Just Like '73" - in time for their summer tour with Journey. The song is catchy as hell, has a great chorus and is probably the best new music from the Leps in a long time. Can you tell I'm pumped? Download it. Pre-order it. Whatever. But get "Just Like '73!"

'Classic Rewind' Presents Def Leppard Live

For folks with SiriusXM, this will be good: Classic Rewind Presents Def Leppard. The station will air a performance from the Summer Stadium Tour 2024 Live at the LA Garage. I'll admit I am a little confused if the performance is tonight and just taped or if it will be livestreamed. Regardless there was a contest for someone to win passes to attend this show.

In the past, I've heard the full concerts during a special broadcast and then songs are cut as special live tracks for their respective channels. Octane does this a lot with modern metal bands.

Speaking of contests, SiriusXM is giving away a trip and tickets to see and meet Def Leppard and Journey in Phoenix this August. You do need to be a subscriber to win. I get nothing from mentioning this contest. I just the hope that one of us gets it!

If You Like Games - Def Leppard Has One For You

I am not a gamer and haven't really ever been. I had a Nintendo as a kid and Eric had an Xbox at one point. I played Madden a little and got frustrated quickly.

All this to say I am not a good judge if an an electronic game is good or not, but Def Leppard has one called "Let's Rock It" so it might be fun. Presumably it features the songs we love and other throwback references. Could be a fun way to kill an hour.

'Photograph - Rough Mix Version'

Earlier this week, Def Leppard announced a special 40th anniversary reissue of Pyromania. Now the first "single" of that sorts is available. It is a previously unheard version of "Photograph." It is a rough mix version and incomplete. Things like this give the listener a little look into history and how the band went through the recording and mixing process.

You can pre-order the anniversary Pyromania set now.

40 Years Of 'Pyromania'

It's hard to believe, but Def Leppard's amazing album Pyromania turns 40 this year. To celebrate, the band is doing a big reissue package with all sorts of never-before-seen Pyro-era live footage and unheard demos, too. Yes, this is coming out on vinyl in a few different formats, plus CD and DVD.

The package is due April 26 and you can pre-order now on the band's website.
