We never made it into a headline, you know?” says Elliott, in advance of the release of Def Leppard’s latest album, a collection of orchestral reworking of their greatest hits titled Drastic Symphonies.

Select Def Leppard from the menu, then press OK .Not so Phil Collen: “With grunge, I saw it coming a mile off. There were so many awful hair-metal bands around. Something had to happen. Nirvana and Pearl Jam were a breath of fresh air.” This song has it all, huge riff, impactful solo, a bad ass "Def Leppard chorus", and tons of energy. I always envisioned this song was the epicenter of what it meant to be Def Leppard - the bridge between all the songs written prior and all those that followed. Tear It Down represents the changing of the guard from Steve Steamin' Clark to Vivian Campbell (an amazing guitar player in his own right). Def Leppard, it transpires, were very much up for working with Taylor Swift too. The love-in blossomed and, in 2008, these two acts from very different worlds appeared together on the County Music Television show, Crossroads. They collaborated on Swift’s Love Story and Def Leppard’s Photograph, one of the big singles off Pyromania. We closed the 2009 Country Awards with Taylor doing Pour Some Sugar On Me. We love to do things that aren’t what everyone expects — Joe Elliott Nor is Adrenalize, with its insistence on intensely tuneful, unrepentantly frivolous material, likely to change that. There’s no overriding concept to the album, no sense of the group’s confronting its demons or wrestling with the problems of the world; instead, what we get is a seemingly unending string of energetic, hook-heavy, gosh-we-luv-’em songs about girls. A perfect Def Leppard album, in other words.

A perfect Def Leppard album, in other words.” The chorus pedal'd clean guitars are staples of the Def Leppard sound, almost as much as the heavy synth drums and the "Def Leppard Chorus". Decent tune. Fluttery guitar solo from Collen's magic fingers. Elliot name drops Stairway To Heaven. Bold choice.Generally speaking, it’s time to worry when the term long-awaited gets appended to an album. Long-awaited doesn’t just mean that the band in question took its sweet time delivering the disc; usually, it’s industry code for “bloated and overblown.”

The music contained in Adrenalize is the aural equivalent of a Hollywood beach movie where the main character is constantly pulling down his sunglasses and mouthing "Baby!" at smoking hot bikini babes, but the audio is pitched way down to Yello proportions. It's absolutely oblivious to the mud wave coming in from the Northwest, about to ruin the summer fun in the sun. NWOBHM, as Elliott has long pointed out, wasn’t necessarily a natural fit for Def Leppard. Even in their early days, their songs had a pop sparkle that set them apart from the hard-core moshers. Plus, Def Leppard saw themselves as DIY to their boots. “We were actually quite annoyed when we got lumped in with it, because once we started hearing these bands we thought most of them were shit,” the singer once stated.The grown-ups decided to talk. Her people and ours. We spent a week learning Love Story – I sang it from a male point of view. It was just fascinating to work with her. They filmed two nights and composed a show out of them. Us and Taylor Swift, it was a 10- day project. The show was nominated for awards. We closed the 2009 Country Awards with Taylor doing Pour Some Sugar On Me. We love to do things that aren’t what everyone expects.”

Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad is more like Have You Ever Needed A Song So Bad ... and that song is Bringing on the Heartbreak. Def Leppard wrote "sadness" better in 1981. I Wanna Touch U OLD SCHOOL. Tonight gives Adrenalize a much needed boost in street cred with Pyromania / High 'n' Dry feel musically. White Lightning Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott on stage with the group: 'It’s the same guys for the last 32 years. We know each other. We know how it works.' Photograph: Per Ole Hagen/RedfernsThat’s typical of Def Leppard, though. From the first, this was a band that gloried in the power of heavy metal’s musical gestures — the towering majesty of a power riff, the momentary freedom of a guitar break, the exhilaration of a singer’s scream — and as the group has grown, its ability to manipulate that vocabulary has expanded to the point that its songs have become mini-masterpieces of aural impact.
