DEF LEPPARD Singer Says New Songs 'Are All Very Different To Each Other' - Mar. 2, 2011
DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott spoke to Billboard.com about the three new songs that will appear on the band's new live album, "Mirrorball", due out this summer.
"When we decided to do (the live album), it just got said — I don't know by who — 'Why don't we chuck a couple of new songs on the end?'" Elliott tells Billboard.com. "And that two became three, and in fairness it could've been four if we'd just had a little bit more time. But we wanted to tour this summer, so any fourth or fifth song we had brewing, we'll save them for the next record."
Regarding the three new tracks — "Undefeated", "All About Believin'" and "Kings Of The World" — Elliott says, "They're all very different to each other. They don't sound specifically like any previous DEF LEPPARD songs, but they sound like DEF LEPPARD songs. They have to have our identity on them, otherwise they might as well be Tom Waits or R.E.M. We have a signature sound that we're not scared of anymore."
DEF LEPPARD will continue to write new material while on the road this summer, with the hopes of "pull[ing] together the other seven or eight songs" for the band's next album. Elliott tells Billboard.com, "We'd start recording them when the tour's over and hopefully have them ready for summer of 2012... or if not, then out in the autumn for the Christmas market."

Re: Def Leppard
I liked their last album, "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge". And they always put on a good show, while touring consistently. They took a year off last year after touring every year the previous 5 years or so. I saw them 5 times in a 4 year span. They're touring again this summer, but I'm supposed to be away when they come near me. Looks like I'll miss them this time around. They always have solid openers too. In the past I've seen Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Poison, Cheap Trick. This time around it's Heart.
But yeah, their shows are filled with material from Hysteria and Pyromania. It's basically the modern day Hysteria tour. It puts GNR playing AFD to shame. At least with GNR you'll get 4+new songs. Def Leppard gives you one, MAYBE two. And like I said, I liked their last album so I wouldn't have minded more.
Re: Def Leppard
Yeah, i've kind of appreciated those 2006 GN'R sets a little more.
Ozzy only performed ONE song off of his new album, and everything else was Tears all the way back to Sabbath.
He knows when his 'zenith' was too. I just wish Axl would perform more UYI songs.
