Def Leppard Unveils a Cut from Their New Album

A brand new album from Def Leppard is on the way and it will mark their first new recording in seven years. The album, which drops Oct. 30, will be self-titled and was recorded earlier this year at front man Joe Elliot's studio in Dublin, Ireland.

Joe says, “This is our first new album in seven years and it came together very organically. We didn’t sit down to create an album but started writing together and suddenly had 14 songs. Although we recorded it over a period of a year while we were out touring, it really came together in nine or 10 weeks. It all had a very organic flow to it and we are excited for our fans to now hear it.”

The band has already debuted the lead track from the album, "Let's Go" and have now unveiled another cut from the set, "Dangerous."

Guitarist Phil Collen shared a bit of insight about the song, "Dangerous is a few years old and was initially titled Dangerous Drug until Joe Elliott suggested shortening the name. I started it a few years ago; I think I had just been working with producer Mutt Lange on something.

“We copied it exactly. I redid the guitars, just a slightly different guitar sound. We didn't change anything musically at all."

To launch the new album, Def Leppard will be embarking on a European tour with Whitesnake, with plans to hit the U.S. next year.
