Default Def Leppard - Yeah!

DEF LEPPARD RETURNS MAY 23RD WITH "YEAH!" (posted 03.31)



Coming hot on the heels of their platinum-certified 2CD hits package "ROCK OF AGES", Def Leppard have announced that they will release their 12th studio album "YEAH!" on May 23, 2006. On their highly anticipated new album, Def Leppard have created a heartfelt and hard rocking tribute to their musical heroes of the late 60's and 70's -the Kinks, Badfinger, T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, Free, Faces, and Thin Lizzy. Recording essential versions of the music that influenced their youth, the band have brilliantly merged the "Now" with the "Then" to create a buzz that can only be summed up in one word: YEAH!

Said Joe Elliott, "I thought it was about time we showed the world what our true roots were... British pop rock from the early to mid 70's. The songs on this album are at least partly responsible for us making the kind of music that we do."

Added Phil Collen, "We didn't want to make the standard covers album and gave this a lot of deep thought as Joe has been going on about doing this sort of project for 26 years. We wanted to express ourselves through these songs and approached the recording process as if they were our own."

The final tracklisting for "YEAH!" is as follows (running order TBA):
10538 Overture - originally recorded by Electric Light Orchestra in 1972
20th Century Boy - originally recorded by T.Rex in 1973
Don't Believe A Word - originally recorded by Thin Lizzy in 1976
Drive-In Saturday - originally recorded by David Bowie in 1973
Hanging On The Telephone - originally recorded by The Nerves in 1977, and Blondie in 1978
He's Gonna Step On You Again - originally recorded by John Kongos in 1971
Hell Raiser - originally recorded by Sweet in 1973
Little Bit Of Love - originally recorded by Free in 1972
No Matter What - originally recorded by Badfinger in 1970
Rock On - originally recorded by David Essex in 1973
Stay With Me - originally recorded by Faces in 1971
Street Life - originally recorded by Roxy Music in 1973
The Golden Age Of Rock & Roll - originally recorded by Mott the Hoople in 1974
Waterloo Sunset - originally recorded by The Kinks in 1967

So these are the same songs that were on the crappy version that leaked last summer. Cover looks kind of boy-bandish to me. Not bad though.

I think the artwork is awesome and makes up for the bad title. I've heard Waterloo Sunset and No Matter What and was impressed so I'm looking forward to this one.

No Matter What was on Rock of Ages: The Dfeinitive Collection 2CD thingy, and I LOVE it. I'm hoping the rest will be just as good or better.

and then to see them and Journey in june!!!

I don't know about this... it could be good or it could suck...

Wonder why it took so long to be released those are all the same songs announced like a year ago

Maybe it is because of my age but i only know four songs on there

I do like No Matter What but already have it on the double CD

The cover is kind of cheesy and it is a little boy band looking i agree

I'm still pissed i won't be seeing them this summer unless they add more dates. I love Vivian...

They couldn't give Rick Allen something better to do??

anyways releasing a covers album lame. the songs could rock, I'm not saying that, but taking the covers route sounds like a half assed project which ever way you put it. They should have taken advadtage of the momentum they had with the rock of ages compilation and release a new album of original material by now, but it looks like the damn thing won't be out until 2008 or something.

I'll probably pick it up, but from the two songs already released from it, I highly doubt it's gonna set the world alight

Covers albums aren't always bad though. Aerosmith's Honkin On Bobo is damn good, and what I've heard of Metallica's one that I forget the name of sounds good too
