Get it while it’s hot!!

Def Leppard’s new album, Songs From The Sparkle Lounge is on sale today.

What are you waiting for????

This isn’t me in the youtube video, obviously. But have you played the Def Leppard downloadable content yet?

The three songs are Foolin’ Rock of Ages, Photograph, and Nine Lives.

If you haven’t played these yet and you’re an 80’s music buff, then you’re doing yourself a disservice. Hint, hint. And they’re live, too.

And the new album Songs from the Sparkle Lounge comes out tomorrow……woot!

You can keep Tim Mcgraw and the song would be perfect.

Def Leppard rocks and I can’t wait for the new album!!

Woot!

Fa-fa-fa-foolin!

The group was forced to cancel a string of shows, but is set to resume Friday.

Get well soon, Joe!!!

Thanks to ScottD for the tip!

In case you didn’t know it, I’m an insanely huge Def Leppard fan. If you know me personally, then this isn’t exactly a surprise.

So when the music channel came together to put our posts together about our favorite concerts, I figured this one was going to be really easy.

The Def Leppard Euphoria concert was the best concert I’ve ever been to. That may be because it was also my first, too, but seriously, it rocked. Opening for them was some unknown band who really sucked and could barely be heard.

I went there with my ex-husband, who wasn’t a fan by any stretch of the imagination. But they played all of their hits and encored with Love Bites. We had lawn seats, which sucked, but the concert was electric just the same.

I stood up like a tard with a lighter and held it high and proud…..just the same as I would today. They still rock.

The only concert that would even come close to being near this ultimate concert status, was the Kiss/Aerosmith concert. Both were sweet concerts, but Euphoria takes the prize.

Can’t wait to see them again!

There. Listen.

I could do without the crappy country intro, but besides that, it’s cool.

I dunno how impressed I am with the song, considering it has Tim Mcgraw singing the first part….Give it a listen.

Let me know what you think.

I love Def Leppard and I’m even willing to forgive this incident, but I really wanna hear the rest of the Songs From The Sparkle Lounge before I pass judgment.

The band will also debut their new single, Nine Lives Apr. 29 on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars and on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! the next day. Nine Lives was co-written with country superstar Tim McGraw.

The 11 tracks on the album include the titles:
Go
Nine Lives
C’mon C’mon
Love, Tomorrow
Cruise Control
Hallucinate
Only The Good Die Young
Bad Actress
Come Undone
Gotta Let It Go.

Woot, I can hardly wait. However, they can keep Nine Lives if it’s featuring Tim McGraw singing. We’ll have none of that.

Def Leppard’s new single, “Nine Lives”, from Songs From The Sparkle Lounge has been leaked on the internet. Apparently, a New Zealand radio station had been playing the track on its airwaves.

Someone got ahold of it and shazaam, a 32 second sample is below for your listening pleasure.

Now, don’t say I never gave you anything.

Update: The link has been removed, so now you can say I never gave you anything. So much for promoting a band.

Woot, great news! Def Leppard’s new album, “Songs from the Sparkle Lounge” has gotten a release date of March 18th!

Yay! Now if I can just get my version without that garbage Tim McGraw on it, I’d be set!

Unfortunately, that crap is true!

Rest in Peace to one of my favorite guitarists that ever lived, Steve “Steamin’” Clark of Def Leppard.

In 1991, Clark was found dead on his couch by Janie Dean — his girlfriend at the time. The autopsy revealed he died from a mixture of anti-depressants, painkillers (used for a rib injury), and alcohol. There was no evidence of suicidal intent.

At the time of his death, he was on a six-month leave of absence from Def Leppard. The band had allegedly grown despondent over their repeated, failed efforts to help Clark and decided time off was the only solution. Shortly after Clark’s death rumours began circulating that he had in fact been permanently fired from the band giving rise to theories that this may have been the cause of his potential suicide. These rumours still persist partly aided by the band’s subsequent ambiguous comments on the subject.

Steve’s remains are buried at Wisewood Cemetery in Hillsbrough, Sheffield, near his family’s house.

Tesla, who opened for Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour, recorded a tribute to Steve Clark on their Psychotic Supper album, called “Song & Emotion (To Our Friend, Steve ‘Steamin’ Clark)”.

Check out Song and Emotion below:

The first time I saw Steve Clark was in the video for Photograph, from their Pyromania album. I saw him and Phil Collen wailing on their guitars and thought how cool it is that they can make such magic.

Remember Steve Clark today.
