Def Leppard lupailee uutta albumia julkaistavaksi vielä tämän vuoden aikana

Englantilaisen hard rockia soittavan Def Leppardin vokalisti Joe Elliott on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Grand Forks Heraldille, jossa Joe on paljastanut yhtyeen aikovan julkaista tulevan albuminsa vielä kuluvan vuoden aikana. Elliotin mukaan albumi on nyt lähestulkoon valmis ja siltä voidaan odottaa ensimmäistä singleä radioon soitettavaksi syyskuun aikana. Voit lukea Joe Elliotin mietteitä albumin aikataulusta tästä:

”It’s finished. We’re just doing simple, last-minute adjustments. The first song is going to go to radio next month. It’s a 14-track, 55-minute album. It’s just called ’Def Leppard’ because that’s what it sounds like. It doesn’t sounds like any one specific era of DEF LEPPARD. It’s got everything. You’ll listen and you go, ’Oh, that sounds like DEF LEPPARD,’ or you’ll go, ’That is LEPPARD, but sounds a bit like LED ZEPPELIN or QUEEN but you can hear the AC/DC or the CROSBY, STILLS & NASH coming through.’ We have not shied away from anything that’s influenced us in our growing up periods of our life. Just because we’ve made the kind of music we’ve made doesn’t mean to say we don’t like all of this other stuff.”

”We made this record as an artistic statement that we’d be happy to play in 10 or 15 years in time and go, ’You know what? That is a great record. That was a great period in our career.’

”For this new album, [stars] seemed to have [aligned] for us, because we all played and sang great and wrote well. There’s some great variety on there. Every single aspect of anything we’ve ever wanted to put out — acoustic, heavy, soft, slow, fast — it’s there. That’s why we call it ’Def Leppard’ because, just like QUEEN were, we’re capable of coming up with vastly different kinds of songs.”
