If you go on the DL site they actually talk alot about Bon Jovi and how they wish DL could be performing in the places BJ is now and draw those kind of numbers. Some DL fans want them to tour with BJ but we all know that is never going to happen nor do I want it to.Number 1 Jon would never allow it, it would be deemed as a nostalgia tour and I for one don't want those two bands on tour together. They are still a pretty good live band. Not GREAT but solid. Joe's voice hasn't held up as well as I would have liked but I would still go see them again because I had a great time at their concert and they just have too many good songs. |
Cheers lizz. Iv yet to see them live, im eagerly awaiting that day!

I'm sure they could at least be the supporting act for Bon Jovi, so as not to cause people to think Bon Jovi are a nostalgia act.

For me their my joint favourite with Bon Jovi, also they have 5 world class albums, Slang, Hysteria, Pyromania, Retro Active and High N Dry. Seen them back in the X Tour (2002) and Joe's voice was great but at Live 8 it sounded pretty strained but I'm hopefull they will put on a hell of a show if they tour the UK this year again.
They were massive in the 80's and are the only band to have two albums go diamond in the US (sell 10m and over) in that period - Pyromania 10m and Hysteria 13m. They done well enough in the early to mid 90's as well with Adrenalize selling 3m in 93 and Vault (greatest hits) selling 4m after being released in 95. Since then they have done poor with none of their albums even reaching platnium in the US (Slang, Euphoria and X) and Slang is one of the best albums I've ever heard, it never really got a chance because it was a such a drastic change from Def Lep's normal sound. Euphoria and X have been mixed bags some awesome stuff on them and some absolute crap. I would love Def Lep to tour with Bon Jovi cause they deserve the exposure Jovi can give them in Europe and most of the world for that matter. As long as the bands both had albums they were touring I think it would be awesome. People on the Def Lep site that went to see their New Jersey show on the X Tour said Jon and Richie came out and performed with them for a few songs. |

Trivia: do you know that the title of their last 3 studio albums spells something interesting? |

Yeah but if they put their ego away they could make alot of money plus bring themselves back into the lime light

Well you know how they do their famous closing at every show "Don't forget us and we won't forget you"? It seems alot of fans have kind of forgotten them. Like I said it's too bad because they have so many really great songs that never get old.

I really like the track. Very 70's British Glam Rock sounding. Which i guess is to be expected, as the album title is from a T-Rex song!

Kick isn't doing much for me but I like that it wasn't just a rehash of Pour Some Sugar on Me like Let's Go was. |

Def Leppard (2015) was decent but only a few songs really jumped out at me, like “Dangerous” and “Let’s Go”. I think you’re right, maybe if it was cut down to 10-12 songs it would have been a more solid album. And I am glad that “Kick” is at least not another “PSSoM” clone like “Let’s Go” and “Undefeated”, even though I liked both of those. |

On the last album I preferred stuff like Battle Of My Own and Wings Of An Angel. I found the majority of it hard work. |

Deluxe Edition comes with 2 bonus tracks, basically alternate versions albums tracks;
“Goodbye For Good This Time (Avant-garde Mix)” “Lifeless (Joe Only version)” https://www.amazon.co.uk/Diamond-Sta...r%2C127&sr=1-2 |
When someone gets the songwriting credits, would you mind posting it here? Very curious.

This is exciting news!!!
I like Kick and it's gonna grow I guess. I loved the last album and I still listen to it. Invincible is my fav song, I love the groove. So I'm really looking forward to this. Kinda surprised with the credits, no song by Viv and only one and half by Sav. The recording process was also strange (if i read correctly) they were sending parts each other didn't work together in the studio. Fair enough, it was finished a year ago (good job hiding it!) apart from the first single and it was difficult to travel etc. I just can't imagine a band not working together on an album.. Makes me regret not going to the Stadium tour after all. I had a ticket for the 2020 show, it got postponed to a better date in 2021 and to incovenient one this year :( |
Def leppard are just a band I can’t get into.
I think I have 1 album. However, how they treat their fans compared to Jovi is like night and day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Another new song “Take What You Want”.
I’m liking this one much more than “Kick”. It is a bit Nickelback-y in parts though. |
Heard this yesterday. Pretty defent.

“Fire It Up”
Not sure what to make of this song yet. Not as good as “Take What You Want” but better than “Kick”. I want this to be the last song I heard before I hear the whole album as I don’t want to spoil too much for myself. It reminds me mostly of "Cruise Control" from Songs from the Sparkle Lounge. So far we’ve had tracks 1,2 and 3 so it’s like I’m making my way through the sequence of the album very slowly. |
